Thread: The Half Project: Second Half: Start-Up

"I'm not exactly in a position to fight while wrapped in chains."

"So... Ozias calls it quits? Well..." Anthony tightened his grip, intent on crushing Ozias to death. "All the more reason to kill you."

Ozias smiled once again before collapsing to his knees, trying to be good-humored about the problem. "Good luck, all," he rasped.
"Ozias!" Sophia shouted, and used Blizzard.

"Teleport, remember!" Lilith created the fire in her hands again, and blasted them at Anthony.

Surprisingly, Helen took the brunt of both attacks. "No... Anthony is too important to me!"

Lilith knew what Helen meant, she knew that the real Anthony was in there somewhere. But for now, he was their enemy,

"We can't let him take us back! I won't let him!" She dissapeared in her illusions, then reappeared behind Anthony, ready to hit him with a Faint Attack

Sophia was too startled to attack again. Raine was ready to fight. "If he's so important to you... then you should be able to cover this for him!" she cried as she punched the ground, leaving a cloud of dust in her wake. When it cleared, Raine was replaced with a crater.

"You don't get it... This is the real him! He's been like this the whole time..."

The ground around Helen exploded as Raine attacked with Dig.

Helen tripped, but used Earthquake upon hitting the ground.

Raine and Sophia were knocked to the ground, unconscious. Zero, despite viewing it as a basic attack, used Quick Attack, in the hopes it would catch either of his opponents off-guard.

Helen slugged Zero with Giga Impact, while Anthony continued to crush Ozias without any reaction to the battle.

"Helen, I don't want to hurt you!" Lilith shouted while trying to stand her ground, "We can't let him take us back, who knows what they'll do to all of you!"

Ozias' breathing came to a halt. Bones cracked. His heart stopped responding. The last thing his mind did before cutting off was visualize a memory. A memory of a friend. A Trainer named... Kieran? He couldn't remember. He had a Scyther. Ozias remembered Kieran telling him something...

"Ozias... If you ever want to survive... If you want to defeat your opponents... To beat all odds... Then you must always have a plan."

OOC: Signing off for the night.

With a dark, triumphant smile, Anthony slung Ozias' body into a wall and let go. "Let the suffering come to a halt. If you resist capture, I'll be forced to do to you what I did just now."
