The Battles Conclusion

"Balls!" Burt grumbled, swinging his axe to keep the enemies that started to surround them at bay. "Where are they?!"

"I know not," Malty said throwing her fireball... but she smiled evilly. "Perhaps you have been aban-"

*Boom! Zap! Bang! Wham!*

Burt grinned as enemies were scattered and thrown all about. "There they are!"

"-doned," Malty finished with a frown. "Godsdammit! It's like a bad play!" She honestly hated being reduced to her owners **** and plaything... but it could be worse. She just needed the opportunity to work her charms. As filthy and degrading as it was she had already started in on half the camp... and if she had to be their 'Whore', then so be it! She'd use that to charm them and twist them around her finger one by one!

She just needed to get rid of that man! The one who looked at her with cold, piercing eyes... with complete disgust. Like she was garbage. Who was completely beyond her charms! She just needed to be rid of-

"Roman!" Burt cheered seeing his friend and leader. Speaking of there were quite a few new faces with him. "I was getting a bit worried. Cutting it close... but I see you brought the cavalry with you?"

Roman clapped Burt on the shoulder grinning. "Yup. Sorry about the wait. Took just a bit longer than anticipated but one interrupted orgy later the enemy commander is down and we picked up some new Characters to help. But first..."

"Right!" Burt agreed. They still had to make a break for it. "Let's get the hell out of here! Whore! Where are- Oh, there you are!" He saw the fireball in Malty's hand and nodded. "Good girl! Toss that to cover our escape. Not too much now! We want them to chase us, remember?"

"Right," she hissed seething. As much as she despised Burt and the others she wanted Roman dead! Dead!! DEAD!!! How dare he look at her that way! As if she was beneath him! He was beneath her! She **** a smile as she channeled her hatred. Used it to focus and...

"Drifa Hellfire!" She chanted casting, targeting the nearby buildings and wall and setting them aflame.

"Good," Burt said patting her ass. "Let's get out of here!"

Malty **** herself to smile. "Yes, Master Burt," she said. She'd get her ****... someday. She'd burn that accursed Roman Stark eventually! And then everything and everyone else! Someday! Somehow!

"Let's go!" Roman said pointing out through the hole. "Fall back! Archers and casters covering fire!" He stepped up next to Jinx. "Do your thing, beautiful."

"W-What?" Jinx asked blushing as the others started 'fleeing' into the swamp.

Roman smiled. "You've got a grudge with these guys, right?" He winked. "Go ahead. Give 'em a real bad day! I'll cover you!"

She smiled... growing into a grin! He called her beautiful... and not only accepted her but encouraged her to be herself! And he was right... she did have a score to settle!

Jinx started casting and throwing around her probability manipulation hexes as she fell back. The enemy forces suddenly had the worst luck. They'd trip up each other. Get stuck in the mud. A burning building would collapse onto them...

...and on and on she hexed them laughing wildly as Roman, and his Characters, held off any that managed to break through the mass calamity and misfortune and even add to it!

Risty bashing opponents who fell. Knives daggers cutting an opponents belt so they tripped on their own fallen pants. Saya shooting them in the knee. Even some of the other new ones helped. Kim smacking two foes heads together as they sprawled in the mud. Subaru tossing a foe into their comrades tripping them up. Felix healing everybody's wounds.

And Roman in the thick of it all. Capitalizing on Jinx's ability. A whirlwind of punches, kicks and throws certainly... but also 'dirty' fighting! Dirt and mud tossed in faces. Low blows, eye gouges and disabling, debilitating strikes, feints, fake outs and then illusory attacks. All while grinning. Laughing even. Like a maniac. "Mruhahaha!"

"Mwahahahaaa!" Jinx was laughing too! It was glorious! They fought so well together! "What fun!" She said as they enjoyed themselves while serving up their enemies a heaping helping of rotten luck on a gloriously bad day! And the others were laughing too! Taunting their foes into following them.

But eventually the enemy started coming enmass. They were going to crush them with numbers, enraged they'd make these fools pay for daring to defy them!

And that's when Darlene and her archers and skirmishes broke cover. Firing upon the enemy. The majority of their targets stuck in the muck and mire like so many easy targets.

Someone with good sense sounded the retreat. It wasn't worth pursuing them. Not with the casualties they were incurring. Let them have the few Characters they'd stolen. So what if their tyrannical leader was down? Some of the more ambitious were already thinking their fortunes were much improved! One of them could be the new leader! Better to go back to safety and lick their wounds, consolidate their power and someday plot their ****! But...

When they turned back the way they came they saw only more enemies! Somehow they'd gotten behind them? No. These were new, fresh threats!

Carlos, leading much of their main **** through the village, pointed his cutlass ahead. "Half of you stay here, round up the rest and put out those fires! The rest of you? With me! Charge!"

Darlene pulled out her bowie knives and pointed rallying her own group. "Charge!"

Roman grinned and stopped stepping backwards and stepped forwards. "Charge!" He shouted leading the way into the demoralized and surrounded foes. The trap was sprung. Maybe not perfectly, there'd been a few hitches here and there, but with effort everyone had worked hard doing their part in executing the plan.

"Roman!" Knives said laughing.

Roman grinned and bent sweeping an opponent legs with his cane as she rolled over his back to attack another on his otherside. They moved together like a pair of dancers, accustomed to each other's moves, creating combo chain attacks until...

"Uh oh," Kim Pine said as she got surrounded by several opponents. "Great... fans."

"Kim!" Knives said pointing.

Roman nodded. "Go," he told her knowing Knives would know how best to help her friend. "Risty?"

Risty grinned and slapped her shield. "Go on girl!"

"Awesome!" Knives cheered jumping towards Risty and landing crouched upon her shield. "Thanks! Yahooooo!" She cheered as they launched her in the air.

Knives spun through the air throwing daggers before dropping down next to Kim who deadpanned, "Nice of you to drop in."

Knives smiled cheerily. "That's what friends are for! Besides... I wouldn't want to miss seeing your rage meter get filled!"

Kim rolled her eyes but it was hard for her to maintain the show of her unenthusiastic attitude... as much as Knives sometimes 'cramped her style' and was her polar opposite in that she was enthusiastic about everything, she was a good friend. Someone who cared about her, put themselves out for her, and had similar tastes-

"Kim!" Roman shouted and tossed her the iron studded club he'd taken off of her previous, temporary, 'owner'.

Kim caught the heavy weapon and smiled slightly. "Heh. Batter up, huh?" She said readying the weapon. She nodded to Knives.

Knives nodded back grinning. "Count us down, Kim!"

They had similar tastes in men too. "Well why not?" Her eyes glinted dangerously as she tapped into her rage she held in reserve for beating the drums...and brawling with opponents, then shouted. "We're here to kick ass and stuff! One-Two-Three-Four!"

Kim started laying into the foes with brutally crushing power swings, knees, headbutts and even stomps when they were downed. Knives backing her up with thrown daggers, thrusts, slashes and kicks while Saya covered them with her crossbow with slow but deliberate and precisely placed shots while calling out targets for them to focus on.

Risty whistled. "Wow!" She smirked at Roman. "Did you know that she could fight like that?"

He shook his head and shrugged. "Nope, but I figured if she was from the same setting as Knives that she could fight. More of a "Brawler", than Knives but definitely effective. We better step up our game!"

"Now your talking!" Risty grinned fiercely. "Hey you! Jinx! You in?"

Jinx blinked. "You guys are crazy," but then grinned. "Lucky for you I like crazy! Hell yeah! Let's do it!"

Roman nodded. "Subaru. Protect and assist Felix, please? Felix I'd like you to be our combat medic er, healer, that is."

"As you wish, Master," Subaru said. "I'll stay by Felix's side."

Felix tilted his head, ears twitching as he regarded Roman but nodded. "For just your forces, Romanyan-san?"

Roman shook his head. "Everyone. If they're against us but no longer willing to fight, heal them up. If not? Well, I'll leave it up to you! They can't be all bad. Let's go!"

Subaru smiled watching as the second formed trio started operating and diving into battle with the other. Risty in the vanguard with Jinx in the rear support and Roman bouncing in-between supporting and aiding them, his style blending and matching theirs, becoming a glue that melded them together. "He's... an interesting fellow, isn't he our new master?"

Felix smiled and nodded. "Yes. He is. Strong enough to care. That at least makes him far meowore preferable to those we've seen so far. Let's do our best too!"

"Let's go Yakul!" Said a bespectacled Character riding on the back of a normal sized goat as he charged Roman with an improvised bamboo stick couched like a lance...

...which Roman easily batted aside, side stepped and then knocked the guy off of the goats back and out. "BaaAaa," the goat bleated in thanks and relief at getting the guy off of his back.

"No prob," Roman said shaking his head. "What the hell was that about? Seriously. Stay down, farm boy."

"Watch out!" Risty covered him blocking an arrow with her shield as Jinx threw blasts at the Game of Thrones Ygritte who'd shot at them.

"Watch yourselves!" Said a pair of buxom beauties as they engaged the two of them. One tanned with a revealing style harem outfit with long dark-hair and a huge curved sword and the other a-

"You take the Amazonian swordswoman!" Roman said to Risty. "I'll take the busty, wannabe dominatrix schoolgirl with the whip!"

Risty grinned. "Have fun!" She said facing off with the opponent swinging her Morningstar. "Looks like You're mine!"

The Danmachi Aisha Belka smirked blocking her attack with her huge sword, while she swept her leg into a low kick to take Risty off of hers. "That's my line, girly! Don't get ahead of- uhn?!"

Risty however not only dodged it but swung her fist up bringing the hilt of her Morningstar into a punch to her face. "I know a thing or two about hand-to-hand as well!"

Aisha seductively licked a little blood from the corner of her mouth. "Oh ho! This'll be fun! Don't disappoint me now!"

"I'm no dominatrix," the Prison School Meiko Shiraki informed Roman, swinging the riding crop she brandished. "You keep your sick little fantasies to yourself pervert!"

Roman parried the huge breasted, glasses and high-heeled boots wearing beauty's attack with his cane... and a smirk to match her snarl. "Don't make that kind of accusation with that face, beautiful," he teased refering to her sneer and severe looking ashen hairbun she wore. "Maybe let that beautiful hair down and we can talk it out instead? Oof!"

Meiko had dropped the riding crop so it hung by a strap around her wrist while seizing his wrist instead and turned her body to throw him instead. *Good!* she thought. *I'll teach him to underestimate me! Next I'll get him down into a submission leg loc-* "Huh? What the-?!"

Roman rolled with the flip, twisting and landing on his feet while grabbing the silver haired vixens hand and twisting her into a behind the back arm lock... and accidentally groping her left breast in the other hand. It was huge! "Whoa! Bonus... nice! I like this dance already," he whispered into the statuesque and outrageously voluptuous beauty's ear. "Don't disappoint me now!"

"You dog!" Meiko snarled stopping down on his right foot with her high heel while throwing her left elbow back at his head.

"Unh!" Roman took the stomp and grinning through the wince ducked under her elbow. Letting go of her he swatted her round ass with his cane. 'Naughty girl... I think I like! Do you? Unfortunately we can't play for long. Things are a bit busy. I'm sure you understand."

"You think this is a game! I'll show you!" Meiko growled kicking him and then grabbing his head as she squatted and shoving it between her thick Thighs. It was- "Time for a pile driver!"

Roman's double however scattered into fragments as it hit the ground and he reappeared behind her. "You want to wrestle, huh? Okay!" He pinned her arms behind her back locking them in place with his right before squating, lifting and inverting her upside down on his right thigh. Her bottom up, pinned helplessly with her legs splayed out her skirt flipped down revealing a sexy, very skimpy purple thong.

"Wha-?" Meiko sputtered stunned in the submission hold as he twisted and bounced her body on display. "Y-you...!" Her tits popped out her shirt on display. "Don't!" She said feeling the stares all around at her compromised position. He was as strong as she was... and she started sweating profusely in the compromising position as she watched him pick up his cane in his left hand. "Y-You wouldn't d-dare-"

Roman shook his head as he kept bouncing and twisting. "Sorry, not sorry, Beautiful. I would... and I'm very flexible!" He said twisting his left arm behind his back and started spanking her ass with the cane.

"Noooo!" Meiko cried. She was trapped in a completely humiliating position, as her opponent, a wretched man no less, spanked her bottom and jiggled her voluptuousness for all too see. She was bested. Physically. Her Forte. She prided herself on her physical ability but she'd lost. And also-

"Submit," Roman said lightly spanking her ass as he bounced her body. It wasn't completely necessary... but damn if her body wasn't putting on a great show! Her breasts were definitely bigger than Saya's! They were massive! With a nice shape and fullness... and the rest of her body was equally delicious! A body built for sex! Shame she had a bad attitude... but it didn't spoil her beauty one bit! "There's no shame in it," he said softly spanking her. "You simply lost, beautiful. Admit it and it can all be over. You fought beautifully. Admirably. Admit your defeat the same way... and we can do it again sometime," he said swallowing trying not to think with the hard on she was giving him. "We can do it... *ahem* again sometime."

"I... lost?" Meiko muttered in disbelief... but the fact she was stuck, helpless, in this position was a fact. Not to mention the slaps to her ass. They were surprisingly gentle and not at all a brutal ass beating she'd expected... but somehow they stung her pride even more as he called her 'beautiful' and spoke firmly but gently to her. She was ashamed but he told her not to be. Told her to surrender... all while he had a huge erection near to her head! He had beaten her physically... and mentally. Wanted to do 'it' with her later! Found her desirable and wasn't repulsed by her either! And... she was secreting more than just sweat at that thought herself. It sent a tingle through her body. She'd been bested by a strong, superior, sexy, opponent. "I... I lost!" She admitted.

Roman set her down gently and helped her stand. She seemed almost bashful now. Demure, even... and damn if she wasn't still sexy as all hell that way too!

Meiko gulped as he took off his coat and reached for her... but he drapped it around her shoulders to cover herself. He was even trying to look away as he gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and turned her pointing towards the way he'd come. "Go towards that cat boy and butler lady. Ask for Felix. They'll fix you up. What's your name?" He asked though he already knew. "I'm Roman."

"Hey!" Cried an angry man approaching from behind with a machete. "Who said you stupid cunts could stop fighting?! Gotta-"

Roman didn't even look as he whipped his cane backwards hooking around the man's neck and pulled him into a backwards mulekick. The man's face connected with his foot with a hard crunch.

"M-Meiko," she answered. He hadn't broken eye contact with her once as he dispatched her owner effortlessly. Her former owner, that was as she heard his monitoring bracer make a "game over" sound and Roman's, her new current owner, made a different sound signaling his victory as she then licked her lips and adjusted her glasses. "Meiko Shiraki."

Roman smiled and patted her shoulder giving it a reassuring squeeze. "A pleasure to meet you, Meiko. Go on now. They'll take care of you."

"Hold up!" Risty said carrying a punched up Aisha over one shoulder and Ygritte over her other as Jinx smirked covering them by throwing around energy blasts. "Take these two with you?" She asked the tall woman.

Meiko sighed but smiled ever so slightly and nodded as she took both **** forms easily, sling one over each shoulder. She was quite strong. "Alright. Leave it to me!"

Risty grinned. "You kind of got into that fight, huh?" She asked eyeing Roman's crotch and shook her head remembering her own defeat. "Is that a habit for you or something?"

Roman coughed. "What? No!" But then smirked and shrugged at her skeptical look. "Well... maybe. But that's just how it is for fighters right? Enemies can become friends... and I fight guys too so you know!"

"Bet you don't go easy on them and make them submit in pervy ways though, right?" She asked knowingly.

Roman shrugged somewhat sheepishly. "Well... now that you mention it, no..."

"Pervert," Jinx remarked tossing another energy bolt. "Good to know!"

Roman grunted dismissively. "Anyway, not the time or place! Fight on!" He said leading the way into the fray.

They pressed through the horde in blur of battle. The two trio's cutting a swath through the enemies around them side by side like a one, two punch. Infact it wasn't long before-

"Hah!" Roman intercepted an enemy blow meant for a familiar figures back. "Howdy!" He said to Carlos kicking the opponent away.

"Thanks!" Carlos said thrusting and finishing off his current opponent and checking on his Gabrielle quickly with her quaterstaff and seeing she was OK.

Roman stepped in and covered his back. "Good work fighting your way to this side!"

Carlos grinned and shook his head. "Same to you! Fancy meeting you in the middle!"

Roman blinked and quickly glanced back the way they'd come. The area surrounded littered with the fallen and surrendering. "Oh! I guess so! Hahah!" Looking around he saw fewer and fewer opponents and the majority of those that he did see were surrendering. The fight was winding down. They'd cut through the middle and the enemy ****, now separated and surrounded on all sides, was demoralized and surrendering.

"Nice work," Roman said offering Carlos his hand.

Carlos grinned taking it and shaking his head. "Right back at you! Nice plan!" He looked at the Characters around Roman, especially the new ones. "Yours?"

Roman nodded and shrugged. "For now. They were the leaders. We'll have to see how the tallying and dividing up goes, though. Fair is fair."

Carlos nodded and wiped his brow. "Should be good. There were a rather surprisingly high number of Characters here!"

Roman nodded scratching his chin. "Yeah, I noticed that too. Probably the effect of the swamps and marshes. Fertile but tough place to set up. Probably just not as many players gravitated towards the area in the beginning making a fertile place for enterprising players to pick up Characters."

"Makes sense," Carlos said nodding. "Maybe we should stay and search out the surrounding area then?"

Roman grinned. "You read my mind! But first..."

"... Business," Carlos said. "Put on another 'performance', Capitán!"

Roman nodded. He needed to do just that. It was his role. Find out who else was responsible, dole out harsh punishment only to turn around and grant clemency for the rest. Text book Machiavelli. It was better to be feared than loved... but one should always be striving for both. Be as kind as possible but when one must be cruel, be mercilessly so.

They also needed to take immediate inventory of spoils and minimize damages. The wise does immediately what the fool puts off to do last. "Find Burt and Darlene. One needs to take charge of the prisoners and see to their wounds. The other finish putting out the fires. Then you break out the ledgers and I'll quell any arguments and merry making until after. We have work to do first. The job's only half done! Let's see it to completion."

Carlos nodded and sketched a quick salute with his cutlass. "By your orders, it will be done Capitán!" He hastened away with Gabrielle in tow.

Roman smiled. "Time for us to get back to work!"
