Cerebrus tried to dodge and received a nasty slash across its chest, as it spun it knocked Liam right into the path of a Chimera. The Chimera let forth with an intense bast of fire that encompassed Liam from head to toe.

Fire, R’han thought. He raised an eyebrow. Unless it was ridiculously hot.. in the excess of 1000 degrees or prolonged for 10 seconds or more, fire wasn’t too dangerous if he got his shield in the way.

Hades moved in on R’han. No weapons, just black gauntleted fists with spikes on the end.

“You should invest in cuticle care.” Hands were short weapons, quick… but he would need to close with R’han. Brazilian techniques would recommend circle strike patterns, Japanese would stick to short single killing strikes. R’han would keep to short strikes that were more spear like thrusts.

She held onto her Naginata through the counter-attack made by the creature However she picked herself up as quickly as she could She had to keep it from attacking the rest of the crew thought she could definitely feel pain in her chest probably at least a cracked rib still she forced herself into position between it and the rest of the crew once more she held her weapon ready “By the Elements i have never laid eyes on such a disgusting creature” she growled looking for an opening to make another attack

A’zna

The creature roared and swung a heavy paw at A’zna

Wallace continued to watch, looking for injuries. She saw A’zna being attacked and started forward, but then noticed the gout of flame surrounding her Chief of Science. “LIAM!!” she shouted, beginning to run towards him, a med-pack in hand. The Captain didn’t know what good it would do, but maybe he’d be okay??

The gout of flame continued to bathe Liam in its destructive glow and then the fire lessened and gave out. Huddled underneath the beast Liam seemed shaken but surprisingly, unharmed. Under any other conditions but these, the look on the Chimera’s face would have been comical.

Fire consumed Liam’s vision before the pain and shock hit him hard. He screamed on impulse while the echo drowned out the CO’s shout, his body becoming fuel for the fire. At least, that’s what his logical mind told him. LB’s altercations had other results. Radiation was known to be hot and cause burns, so to combat this… his cells had a high heat and fire tolerance. As the fire began to wear at the uniform’s own resistance, his skin was untouched. It still hurt more than Liam could ever describe accurately. Finally, sensing the flames still alive on his skin the parasite began to pour liquid out of his pores. It smothered the fire before shedding from his surface.

A tremble raced along the CSO’s form as he started to recover. He managed to pull up on all fours, but the world spun and he fought not to let loose the torrent of sourness lingering in the back of his throat. While his form had been unharmed, his clothes were charred in spots and revealed the untouched skin underneath. He was lucky that the uniforms were made from durable materials or he might’ve never lived down the embarrassment.

With a deep breath, he managed to choke out words. “I’m all right…”

His hand immediately reached for his pouch, but he only touched his hip. It had fallen off during the attack causing a spike of panic in him and his eyes to scan the area. Too bad the shock of the experience started to hinder him.

R’han was in no rush. Hades was a big player in the game. He could just kill time and let his big hitters deal with their opponents and when they finish them off. They could come to this battle and it could be six on one.

R’han

Hades was obviously trying to suss out this opponent who showed no fear and was circling slowly taking in R’han from head to toe. The circling however was going to put R’han back on to Cerberus if it continued and no one intervened.

Upon seeing R’han and Hades going about in circles, Liam spotted Cerberus edging closer.

“Captain, find my radiation doses! I’m going to need them.” The CSO rose to his feet and pulled past her.

His hand lowered then scooped up his blade, his feet continuing without stumbling. When he drew into close range with the monster, he briefly slowed and slashed at the nearest hind leg. Having gotten the creature’s attention once more, he flicked off the blood.

“Remember me?” Liam mocked as he braced for a counter attack.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci

Cereberus seemed to be having an internal argument within itself, institutionally it wanted to attack this pesky gnat but the fact that the gnat had stood up to a full blast of fire confused it.

Not sure why the mutt ceased its attack, Liam watched it carefully. The handle of the blade was still hot from the Chimera’s blaze and sizzled against the protective layer on his skin. Time ticked in slow motion while the tension filled the air. Not wanting the dog’s attention to drift, he feigned a lunge forward.

“Come on, cat got your tongue?” Though Liam heavily doubted Cerberus could understand him, the taunt was still fun to say.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci

It was pretty obvious by the reaction that Cerberus understood the jibe as all three heads struck out at Liam in quick succession.

When Cerberus lashed out, Liam jerked sideways. His body was a narrower target as the fangs of the right and left head narrowly missed him. Their fangs ripped into the sides of his uniform leaving shallow, harmless wounds. Meanwhile, his blade raised to keep the middle from ripping off his face. The only flaw in his defense was that the CSO was built more for dodging and slashing, not holding his ground against a monster.

His teeth gritted in the effort as his right hand let go and pressed over the dog’s eyes. Heat from the blade continued to dance ever closer to his face, indicating its threat of slicing him through. He continued to struggle to keep it back one handed. Focusing on anger and fury, he began to pour heat into his palms. If the dog wasn’t fire-proof, this brief contact should render the hound blind as its eyes were being gradually cooked.

“I think it’s time you heel.” Liam growled, his mind painfully aware of LB starting to stir.

A’zna did her best to dodge spinning away to the right of the attack then counter attack the more holes she opened up in the creature the faster it would bleed out swinging the polearm down to chop at the paw of the creature

A’zna

The Chimera roared in frustration and made a desperate lunge to bear A’zna to the ground.

R’han continued to move side to side,angling his body then shield and back and forth. Using the old shield and spear style leaning his blade over his shield pointing at his opponent. There was very little exposed and Hades had to close against a man with a pointy steel sword on the other of a large shield meaning he had to throw himself against metal wall to get to the flesh part on the other side.

R’han

Hades was looking warily at his opponent, something was worrying him and in the distance it seems that Athena was beginning to wear the god of War down. Focusing on his hands the spikes lengthened to a foot long single spike in the middle, all the better to reach behind the defensive stance. Moving like a snake he lunged forward in a flurry of strikes.

A’zna rolled into its attack Slicing at its belly again the others needed her help and this fight was taking way to long! she was not happy that she was getting dragged into the battle but it could not be helped now

A’zna

Suddenly there was a palpable change across the battlefield as a wave of strength hit them all. Their opponents started to falter and a voice cried out.

“Cease!”

All eyes swung to see the God of War flat on his back with Athena’s spear at his throat.

Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

R’han didn’t strike, much like he avoided doing so for the majority of the conflict. He likewise didn’t lower his guard. One person announcing ‘cease’ didn’t mean anyone would and he wasn’t about to get stabbed in the back.

R’han

Jennifer startled slightly, looking over to Athena. Some sources listed her as the goddess of battle strategy, so it made some kind of poetic sense that she’d be the one to defeat Ares, god of violence. Brains over Brawn, as they say.

Wallace, CO

Athena let Ares get up slowly the spear point still at his throat and all watched the interchange in a silence that seemed eerie where once was the battle sounds of death and dying.

Athena turned to the others of her kind, “Death or exile? What say you all?”

Before anyone could reply Ares called out, “You have no right to judge me and mine! You kept this power for yourselves! I claim the right to neutral judgement!” he pointed to the Captain. “I claim the right to be judged by her and her people!”.

A’zna kept her Naginata pointed at the Chimera however she edged her way closer to the captain so she could whisper to her “We do not know their laws of customs how can we judge Ares?” she asked
