Academy of Villains: Now With 200% More Multiverse [IC]

[Unified Free Lands]

"No! No no no!" shouted Ice, looking around and failing to locate the one who had shot Geisha. And so she directed her anger to the only one she could: Anastasia. She picked up her other pistol, angrily moving towards the woman. "It looks like it's your lucky day... I only have four bullets, so I'm going to have to kill you quickly," she said nonchalantly, her voice turning totally calm.

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Coilin shook his head. "No, nonononono. You're not getting away that easily..." he muttered, the telepath starting to look pale. He rammed his consciousness against Flint's mind, trying to jump start it back into working.

"Hmm? Are you going to give in now? Oh, that's a pity. If you do, I'll have to leave you alone, and I don't want to do that... You're so much fun. You're much better than the others I usually get in here, all talk and no fight. Anyway, are you going to give in?"

"...go to hell, ublyudok."

"Now, now, Raven... Language. Besides... that's where you're going... Me? I'm going to enjoy this next part very, very much..."

His eyes snapped open, and he stared at Coilin with terror in his face. "No... no more..." he whimpered.

Coilin smiled. "You're much more fun than the ones I usually get..." he whispered, leaning down and running a finger down his arm, breaking both forearms. "All talk and no fight, cladhaire."

He started breaking his ribs. "And I'm going to enjoy the next part very, very much..."

He broke the last rib. "Two hundred... only a few more to go, and they're all in your head."

"No! No no no!" shouted Ice, looking around and failing to locate the one who had shot Geisha. And so she directed her anger to the only one she could: Anastasia. She picked up her other pistol, angrily moving towards the woman. "It looks like it's your lucky day... I only have four bullets, so I'm going to have to kill you quickly," she said nonchalantly, her voice turning totally calm.

"But she's still alive," Anastasia said calmly.

"No... no..."

"Oh, yes, yes..." Coilin said, smiling.

And then he broke Flint's jaw. He reached down and grabbed it, moving it around a bit so that it looked like he was talking. "Hello, my name is Flint!" Coilin said in a horrible impersonation. "I f*cked up!"

Then he threw the jaw down in disgust. "You really did... so, I'm going to give you a break. I'll only break two-hundred and two of your bones."

With this, he pulled out the revolver and pointed it at his victims skull. "Anything you want to say... Oh, wait, you can't do that. Just think your last words, I can hear them."

In one last show of defiance, Flint thought something reflective of his entire persona.

I don't regret anything I did to that whore.

Aim between the eyes, cripple, it'll be less messy that way.

[Unified Free Lands]

"That's... Impossible," said Ice, but to be sure, she knelt next to Geisha again and checked for a pulse.

Coilin smiled and pulled the trigger.

There was a click.

"Chk." Coilin clicked his tongue. "Looks like I forgot bullets. I guess I lied about killing you quickly."

He smiled and started breaking Flint's skull slowly.

[Charlia]

"That's... Impossible," said Ice, but to be sure, she knelt next to Geisha again and checked for a pulse.

Sure enough, Geisha was still alive. Just bleeding heavily.

"H-hey... Ice-chan..." she muttered. "Guess things didn't exactly go according to plan, did they?"

Flint intentionally thought only of how he tortured Raven, until the blackness finally took him.

Coilin spit on the body at the end. And then he ripped off an arm, and a leg.

"I'd piss on you too, but I can't stand..." he growled, turning around and leaving the corpse to rot in the hallway. He rolled back to the Jupiter, slowly.

He reached out to Medium.

Is she awake yet?

Not fully, but she looks like she's stirring.

She should be awake soon.

... I apologize for breaking your finger. Coilin responded, the cold of the Siberian forest cooling his temper a bit.

[Unified Free Lands]

Ice was broken out of combat mode by her sudden rush of emotions, and her voice has filled with panic. "You'll be fine, the medicine is pretty good at the Academy... You won't die yet, you can't die... I won't let that happen."

"...Not in here, anyway," she said sadly. "I don't want to die in here. I want to die free."

She blinked, and a tear carved a line through the painted whiteness of her face.

"I want to die as myself..."

She blinked, and a tear carved a line through the painted whiteness of her face.

"I want to die as myself..."

"You aren't going to die," Ice insisted, reaching to pick her up so she could carry her to safety, careful to not injure her worse. "Just hang on... Resist the urge to sleep, because if you fall asleep you aren't going to wake up again."
I know how I could heal her... But I would need a lab and it would kill me to do it. Mierda...

"But Ice-chan..." she said quietly.

"I'm so tired... of everything..."

[Videssos]

"I thought I told you to shut up!" shouted Ice, reaching for one of her pistols on the ground and firing four more shots at Anastasia, emptying the magazine. She then dropped the pistol and turned back to Geisha, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Are you able to walk or no? The other assassins are all busy fighting, we can slip away now."

"I--I can walk," she said quietly, standing up.

Then she heard a faint coughing sound, and turned to see a bullet speeding towards Ice.

She did the only thing she could do--and took the bullet straight through the heart.

Having slipped away earlier as the nightmare creature continued to fight Karl and Kadus, Maria moved back to Madame Anastasia's quarters, before slowing down and assessing the situation there from where he was, reloading the SIG 552 as he did. He watched as a sniper began targeting Geisha whilst she was fighting Ice. Meanwhile, Anastasia had distanced herself from the affair, and seemed to be injured. He closed his eyes, briefly entering a sort of trance state once more.

He saw a gate within his mind, a gate that he could open for a short time, containing something that would be of use at that particular time. The gate opened, and a white-blue energy flickered around his physical body. A dark mist poured forth, seemingly emanating from wherever that light eddied and swirled. The mist seemed to have a mind of its own, moving steadily towards the room ahead. Although it was harmless, it would obscure the vision of anyone there. It filled the doorway, and began expanding towards the area where Geisha and Ice fought.

Opening his eyes again, Maria moved through the entrance, the energy around him vanishing, as did the source of the mist, although the mist itself remained substantial, and didn't seem like it would disappear so quickly. It continued to spread out, whilst remaining thick. Believing that it would ensure some protection against any errant snipers, the Romanian assassin of questionable gender sent a brief burst of fire with his gun to where Ice had been just before the mist had begun spreading.

Time to close in.

But as he was about to close in, the mist blocked any sort shot he had on Anastasia. And so, stood up from where was hiding, slowly approaching the assassins and Anastasia, while casually changing ammunition from standard full metal jacket to rubber rounds. He then clipped on the bayonet at the end of it, fully aware of dangers of engaging at such close quarters. Suddenly a flash came forth from the mist.

A flash...... A gun. Enemy.

Doing his best to triangulate where that came from, shouldering the rifle and using the iron sights on the gun. Apostol then pulled the trigger three times, hoping to bring pain towards his intended target. All the while walking slowly towards them.

As he fired, Maria knew that he would become a target. In this scenario, having a relatively small profile would be to his advantage, since there'd be less of him to hit than the average individual. He had already begun moving to the left, before one rubber bullet skimmed him, and two more slammed into his left leg and stomach. The assassin gritted his teeth as pain arced out through his nervous system, though he had endured far worse before, even if his regenerative capabilities had ensured that no physical damage remained. Those rubber bullets were by no means going to stop him.

Maria rapidly thought about the one targeting him. Two could play at that guessing game. He raised his own gun, and began firing in reply, towards the area the rubber bullets had came from. His own weapon was a Swiss carbine that utilised hollow point modified 5.6mm Gewehr Patrone 90 assault rifle cartridges, so they were going to have a decidedly more damaging effect if they hit. He continued moving as he fired, seeking to interpose himself between this opponent, Ice and Geisha further away, and Madame Anastasia. Doing this will mean I haven't failed her. I mustn't disappoint her. I can't... I must protect Madame Anastasia...

"You aren't going to die," Ice insisted, reaching to pick her up so she could carry her to safety, careful to not injure her worse. "Just hang on... Resist the urge to sleep, because if you fall asleep you aren't going to wake up again."
I know how I could heal her... But I would need a lab and it would kill me to do it. Mierda...

"But Ice-chan..." she said quietly.

"I'm so tired... of everything..."

"Stay with me, you have to stay awake," Ice said, panicked, as she lifted Geisha up, trying to leave the room with her. If Maria attacked her, she wouldn't be able to fight back since she had Geisha in her arms, but she hoped he was focusing on Apostol. I'm going to save her. Whatever the cost.

[Charlia]

Not fully, but she looks like she's stirring.

She should be awake soon.

... I apologize for breaking your finger. Coilin responded, the cold of the Siberian forest cooling his temper a bit.

You are... Forgiven. I apologize for what I said.

Raven's eyes opened.

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

... I apologize for breaking your finger. Coilin responded, the cold of the Siberian forest cooling his temper a bit.

You are... Forgiven. I apologize for what I said.

Raven's eyes opened.

Coilin was about halfway to the Jupiter, Nikolai's speed thing having worn off.

Thank you, I forgive you for that as well. I also apologize for earlier, for the interrogation...

While we're on an apology roll, I apologize for attacking the school.


Also, she just woke up.

Oh, I should hurry then. Coilin responded.

He started to go faster through the snow.

[Rynagria]

"I--I can walk," she said quietly, standing up.

Then she heard a faint coughing sound, and turned to see a bullet speeding towards Ice.

I mustn't disappoint her. I can't... I must protect Madame Anastasia...

One of the bullets had managed to skim his head, just barely touching the skin, but enough for it cause a think trickle of blood come down from the side of his face. Othwrwise, he had managed to barely dodge the incoming rounds, causing several other grazes on his body. He was now more damaged than ever, having sustained injuries from fighting trainees earlier.

Thankfully, Apostol had decided to wear one the vests that guards wore, which to some degree, should be more bullet resistant. But there was no time for this. So, Apostol just stood there and listened intently, trying to find out where his unseen foe is. Barely, just barely, managed to hear something.

Hostile moving away........ Pursue, must pursue. Thought the Bulgarian-American, before facing the direction of his enemy. Gently placing the rifle on the floor, Apostol unhooked several grenades, pulling the pin on one of them. His first grenade was nothing but a rubber grenade, yet it was not meant to land on his opponent, but rather used as a rock to stun him a hit. The next two were stun grenades, throwing them just slightly ahead of where the direction of footsteps headed. As quickly as he started, he knelt on the ground and grabbed the rifle. Ducking his head, he tucked the stock of his weapon under his arm firmly, bayonet ready to be used.

Once the grenades went off, he would charge with all his might. At about 40 kilometers per hour, he burst from where he knelt, hoping to close the gap and get a stab at his enemy, the blade leveled at to where the waist was for an average person. While doing this, he emptied the remaining bullet in the magazine, all seven of them.

[Charlia]

Also, she just woke up.

Oh, I should hurry then. Coilin responded.

He started to go faster through the snow.

"Medium?" Raven asked slowly.

"Call me Maria, now. That was my name, before... You were Natalya, weren't you?"

Raven just nodded.

"...Where's Coilin?"

"Oh, he's on his way, honey. I can see how you feel about him. He's definitely an interesting one, I'll give you that. You always did have a taste for the quirky ones."

"Maybe it's my type," she cracked nervously, and they both laughed.

Coilin finally made it to the entrance tot he med bay, and stopped in the doorway, hand over his heart. He was breathing deeply. "I... need to... work out..."

They both turned, and started laughing at the same time. Not laughing at him, though, just laughing with him.

She has feelings for you, you know, Medium warned him. She tries to stop them because of what happened to the last boy she fell for, but the feelings are definitely there. Watch out.
