Mike is running along the trail now, and he suddenly stops- right where the horse and rider was toppled. He briefly inspects the vines- they were thin and brittle compared to her normal creations. the culprit he identifies immediately. He sees the group of soldiers running, lead by a Mordecai- distinguished by a marking on his vest.

Mikey hears something near-by:
Quote
"She hardly seems dangerous," Damion replied. "If you take even one step toward her you'll find out who the dangerous one really is."

He hangs back, and follows the group to an abandoned building. He stands outside the shattered board of the window and calls out "If you don't want to die, it's in all of your best interests... to step the hell away from my sister!" He brushes his hand, waiving the soldiers and Damian aside. "Yes you, knife boy... everyone back away now.

The five soldiers turn around to see Mike, and immediately follow his orders- This may not be a military affair, but the colonies military is poorly trained and unequipped to take on a well armored soldier of the top Libran Force.

He winks at Damian to tell him that he was on his side and to convey his respect to him.

Damion didn't know who this newcomer was, nor did he know how to take the wink. Was he a good guy? Damion looked over his shoulder at Veronica. She didn't seem to have a problem with this guy, so he stepped away towards the soldiers so that he was still between them and her. He kept his knives in his hands, just in case.

Mike winks a second time to Damion a second time, and unleashes like a snake. He grabs a chain from the sidewalk and hurls it around the Mordecai's neck. He slams his boot into his neck, stun-choking the ma to deactivate his power. "Now... down to business" he says, rubbing his palms together- a demonstration of anticipation, and to rub the rust off of his hands.

The other soldiers let loose on Mikey, firing a rapid burst from all four. Mike dodges the fire by dropping to the ground. He now has his magic capabilities back without the Mord there. He pin-weals around, releasing a burst of fire at their ankles.

Damion immediately sprang into action, flinging one of his knives so that it became embedded in one of the soldier's necks. As one of the other soldiers turned to find out what just happened, Damion was already upon him. Pushing his gun aside so that he missed the shot he took at him, Damion quickly slashed the man's neck and then jammed his knife into the inside of the soldier's thigh. The man collapsed, bleeding to death in seconds as both his carotid and femoral arteries were cut. The perks of being a former professional knife fighter. You knew where they bled the most when you cut them. The newcomer should have no problem dispatching the other two, so Damion checked on Veronica to make sure she was unharmed.

The heat of combat... it can be a real nasty thing, it can. When Damion redirected the gun, it just so happened to be in the least favorable position. The shot fired- hit it's mark in Veronica's arm. she fell to her knees, griping her right shoulder. She was experiencing blinding pain considering that she hadn't experienced combat before.

Mikey finished off the last two quickly- he grabbed the closer one and shot the other with the gun still in the mans hand. He then kicked the man in the chest, knocking him out of the window. He ran over to Veronica who wasn't crying, but was still clearly hurt by the shot. He dropped his weapon and unhooked his face mask. He dropped lightly to her side, taking her free hand in both of his. "Are you okay? Speak to me Var." She began to sob a bit.

Damion retrieved his knife from the soldier's throat and went to see what the fuss was about. His eyes widened in shock when he found out that Veronica had been hit. But how? Replaying the events that had just unfolded he came to the terrifying conclusion. It had been his fault. When he pushed that soldier's gun aside he must have inadvertently aimed it at Veronica.

Struck with extreme guilt, Damion quickly began tearing through the soldiers' supplies. Soldiers usually had medical supplies of some kind. There had to be some somewhere.

"Relax, she's fine." Mike calls over to Damion when he notices him rifling through the dead bodies. "I have a med pack on me anyway. She needs emotional help more than medical help... and it's not your fault, he pulled the trigger."
Michael brushes a lock of hair from his sisters face, and gently lifts her hand from her arm. "Just as I suspected... a little scratch, you'll be fine Var. You... (He addresses Damion since he doesn't know his name) The med pack is in the pocket on the back of my belt. I'd get it myself, but I can't reach it."

Damion walked over and found the med pack exactly where he said it would be. He immediately opened it up and started treating the wound, knowing exactly what he was doing. Having been in plenty of knife fights, he learned pretty quick how to patch up scratches. When he was done he sat back on his heels.

"I'm so sorry, Veronica," he said. "I didn't mean for you to get shot."

Veronica wipes a tear from her eye, "I'm fine, it startled me more than it hurts. It really stings though."

"I don't think we were properly introduced, I'm Mikey- Veronica's brother. I go by Coia when on duty though... it means life. What's your name?" he stands up and walks over to the different cadavers and knocked-out soldiers. Three dead, two out cold. "We need to do something about these dead people." Just then the Mord woke up and started shouting orders to his men... who weren't there. Mikey silenced him with a kick to the neck.

Considering that he had most likely just saved their lives, Damion decided not to point out that make said that he was Veronica's sister even though he was obviously a brother.

"I'm Damion," he replied. "Veronica's impromptu escort for the evening. She wanted to take a look around and I couldn't let her wander around a place like this all alone."

Damion looked down at the soldiers. Only three of the five were dead. The two that Damion went after were certainly dead. He had made sure of that. Damion wondered where the horsemen had gone to. They were likely still alive wherever they were. The one that he did hit was only hit in the shoulder, so he was likely still alive as well.

"Three guys on horses had attacked us as well," Damion told Mikey. "I wounded one of them, but I don't know where they are now."

(OOC: Fixed that)

"Thank you for that, She's been wanting to go out for quite a while now, but as both a pilot and a ground troupe I don't get much time off. I saw the place with the horses, there was a Mordecai there. I found a dead horse- with no rider, so the rider probably piggybacked with another one. They probably sent these guys." Mikey dragged two of the three dead men over to the third, piling them up. "I suppose we could make it look like one of them went rogue and killed the others?"

"Assuming that they would use a knife and know exactly where to cut, then maybe," Damion replied. "What exactly is going on here? Why are these guys even attacking us in the first place?"

Mike takes a gun from the fallen Mordecai. He stands the soldiers up supported by their armor, and shoots them in the same spots as the knife wounds.
"coroners report, they were shot. inspection ends there. Oh and the reason- we are elves, magic is a natural ability of ours. People here hate magic people- especially the government. We make healthy targets when we use our abilities, and we aren't chipped or registered. We really don't have to since our magic isn't that extreme, but people can be paranoid."

"There we go" he says as he leaves the two knifed soldiers slumped over. "now, we make it look legit." He shoots the man across the way, directly in the back of his neck. "Mord shoots these two, one guy fires back but misses the Mord, killing that one. That guy runs, he shoots him, and runs to a near-by shed... and kills himself since he has no life now- Problem solved."

He returns to Damion and Veronica and inspects Damion's handiwork with bandages. "pretty good work there. Did you use the disinfectant? I'm sorry you had to see this Var, I didn't want to do it either. I had to, otherwise they won't leave us alone."

"I think so," Damion replied when Mike inquired about his use of disinfectant. "I've had a lot of practice in patching up cuts."

Especially since he always had to do it himself. There was no dedicated medic in his old gang, so if you got hurt it was on you to patch yourself up. It was a stupid rule really. What happened if your arm got blown off? You wouldn't be able to handle that alone. They were an awfully stupid bunch of kids.

"I'll be right back" Mikey said as he dragged the Mordecai out. "I have some personal business."

He carried the Mord over a couple buildings down, put the gun in the Mord's hand, brought the gun to it's head and gripped his wrist- causing the man to pull the trigger. The Mord's had is locked around the gun in rigor-mortus. He killed himself.

When he returned to the house, he was deeply sickened by what he had to do to protect himself and his sister. "Let's get the hell out of here. Anybody hungry? There's a friendly, family-owned joint one street over."

(OOC: if you look back, you will find that Veronica said it was on this street... Mikey knows the city better... obviously)

"Hard to believe that there's something friendly anywhere around here," Damion replied jokingly. "I could go for some food, I guess."

Unlike Mikey, Damion had no problem with killing, especially in self-defense. He had taken part in quite a few lethal engagements in his time, so this was nothing new. His only regret was that one of the horseman had left with one of his knives in his shoulder. He was going to miss that knife.

Mikey helped Veronica to her feet, and led the way to the diner. "there are... a few friendly people here. It's a rough place, and most of the time you can't afford to be friendly- and then you get used by the unfriendly people. Frankly the chance of you finding Var instead of some criminal... is none to slim, not even slim to none." He began to lead the way out of the broken and abandoned (and soon to be abandoned a second time) building looking both left and right for other people before stepping out.

"I have quite a bit of experience with unfriendly people," Damion commented.

Those unfriendly people that killed Ted, but that was in the past. There was no point in being sad about it. It couldn't be changed. Besides, they didn't get away clean. Damion had made sure of that. The comment about Veronica running into him instead of some criminal made him chuckle on the inside. Damion was a criminal. Well, ex-criminal, but still criminal. Of course him finding her was probably better than someone else that wasn't so friendly finding her. This Mikey fellow seemed awfully protective of his sister. It must have been nice knowing that someone was looking out for you. Damion never had that luxury being an orphan and an only child.

Mike takes note of the facial scars. "I can see that." he said, as he continued along, they came to the intersection where the dead horse was, and it is now missing. He pulls out the tactical knife from a pocket in his leg armor. they round the corner, walk another block, and turn right once more. This street is a bit nicer and not as run-down, and about half-way down the boulevard there is a building with wide welcoming windows common among diners. "let's eat!" he exclaims as he pushes the doors open. "Barbra, what's the lunch special?"

(OOC: play up until we get to the diner... I have something special.)

Damion was surprised that the horse was gone. How did an entire horse just disappear? Why would they even take the time to come back and get it? Damion followed Mikey and Veronica into the restaurant. It was far from 5-star, but it had a certain charm to it. Hopefully the food was good.
