Sin was confused as she held the sword, her eyes gazing at how the metal seemed to glisten in the sparse lighting that when Dominique asked her question Sin's mind was else where, "Like what...", her voice faint as she hefted the sword in her hand, marveling at how light it felt compared the often times massively heavy blades other Crusaders used. Unaware as she started walking behind Dominique, almost automatic as her mind tried to grasp both the gesture and the meaning behind the gift and wondering if this was another sign of her failures.
She gave me a Templar's sword, and one given to her by her father...such a gift...am I even worthy of wielding it as I am...is this a sign that I have failed or is it a step towards the right direction., closing her eyes as she sheathed the sword, Sin didn't know what to make up it and yet deep down she felt light and yet heavy at the same time. For the most part she would attempt to at least prove that she was worthy of such a blade-and in the distant back of her mind she couldn't help but dwell upon the unclean crusaders and her fear that it would be her fate if she failed any more in the future.
Upon rounding the corner, and though it took time for Sin to notice Sloth she couldn't help feel a weight lifted from her shoulders upon seeing one of her former team, and belatedly she realized she had fail to answer Dominique's question after receiving such a gift, stepping up to stand beside Dominique as Sloth continued leading them towards the rest, "Sorry Lady Templar, forgive me for not informing you I do not understand the question fully to answer it to better illuminate you upon what bothers you, for us we are what we are mere tools that should only be known as such.", her voice soft as she once more let her eyes fall upon the sword that now hung snugly upon her hip.
Though Sloth just a small distance up ahead twisted her head slightly, one eye opening a bit fuller to look towards Sin before shaking her head, her black hair sliding along the blackness of her armor as she continued.
They went like that for a few more minutes till a glow ahead, a strong light that wavered as if it was moving towards them till two figures appeared one holding a torch in their hand, and in the other a massive war hammer whose head was nearly bigger than Dominique's head, and yet upon the other side of the war hammer's face was a massive blade so the weapon could be used as a powerful axes as well. Yet, what would draw a person's attention was the second person, though he wore the black armor it more resembled that of a Templar's as he had an assault rifle slung upon one shoulder as his gazed ahead towards the approaching group.
As the light came closer, the second person's feature emerged from the shadows to reveal a relatively young face, younger than even Dominique's and yet his eyes were flinty, their dark brown serious belying the youthful face. Yet, it was Sloth's response that would have surprised any observer the most for a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she slid along to stand beside the young man, flanking him as she leaned back against the wall her spear resting upon her shoulder.
"Well f**k, looky here we got ourselves a Templar b*tch and...", for a moment the brown eyes widen in surprise when the light fell fully upon Sin's face, "...Sin...f**k...", and then he smiled which dispelled the illusion to reveal a rather young man as he stepped up to give Sin a hug before pulling back, his eyes focusing on Dominique, "Now, with this b*tch here we can finally enter that chamber..."

Dominique looked at Sin before looking at Sloth as she lead the them down the hall. The light bounding for them didn't bother here because of how it was moving. Though as she thought of the movement she couldn't help but realized how much of a fighting ability they had left. Something wasn't right about what was happening in this facility, and the more they moved the more she wanted to find out. Looking at Sin again she found herself wanting to know more on her behalf. She didn't want what happened to them happen to her. She shook her head as she looked up at the two individuals making their way to them.
She couldn't help but be surprised at how mouthy the younger one was. He didn't show any signs of a Crusader, and yet Lust's actions inside the medical room didn't either. She eyed him carefully and then noticed the hidden smile on Sloth's face as she walked to stand beside Leon. Crusaders were changing and she wondered if her father had noticed it. "What chamber?" she asked. The younger foul mouthed one pointed down the hall toward a large door. She followed them down the hall toward the door with a combination lock. She paused as she looked at the door. Typing in one of the key codes she new the resounding beep for the wrong code.
Stepping back after the third combination trying to figure out why she didn't have access to the room. She had been given access to anything within the facilities with the exception of the Counsel Chambers that she didn't know about until recently. This only added more to her father keeping things from her. She would have to use one of her father's combinations, but knowing as soon as she did her father would know. Shaking the thought off she walked up to the panel again. He had six combinations that he used, but being that she didn't have access to this room. He had given her a great deal of access once she was older.
That left only one code he would use that no one would know. Typing it in the door went through a registration code before sliding open. Darkness welcomed them as they moved into the room. There only light was coming from the torch. As soon as everyone entered the doors secured behind them. Darkness filled the room before them, and the only light came from the torch. From what she could tell there were a few beds, but without proper light she couldn't make out anything else. "We need to find a way to get these lights on." She turned to look at the group. "Weird Question. Can anyone see in the dark?"
Sloth stepped forward and looked at Dominique. "What am I seeking?"
"With a room like this there should be a separate generator that runs off it's own power source." She looked around the room before looking back at her. "I can't give you a general direction because i do not know what's in the room."
Sloth nodded and walked off into the darkness. Time slowly ticked away before the lights came on in the room. Sloth coming out of a door on the other side. "The generator will not last to long."
Dominique nodded as she looked around the place. "What is this place?"

As Sloth returned from turning on the generator, the monitors and lights illuminating the room revealing several bays with glass faces upon one wall and a circular computer area within the center. For a moment Sin looked towards the glass bays, noticing with some discomfort and a dreadful pit in her stomach that the majority of them had been broken apparently from the inside. Though she tore her gaze away before walking towards the computers, the monitors displaying several lines of text that she couldn't read.
"Okay, Templar b*tch get to work on those computer files while I take a look see at these glass coffins over on this wall.", with that Leon gave Dominique a small sneer before making his way to the wall with the glass bays, his boots crunching upon the glass that littered the floor, Sloth giving him a brief smile before walking over to join Sin and Wrath.
With a slight cheer to her voice, and a very faint accent that Sin couldn't quite guess Sloth motioned towards the doors, "Well ole former leader let us guard the doors while the two work on getting that intel.", slinging her spear off her shoulder Sloth ambled over to the doors, though she kept her eyes half closed.
Grunting his agreement, Wrath hefted his war hammer, its blade gleaming in the light as he too took a side, though he had an assault rifle like Leon, Wrath much before his war hammer.
For a moment Sin stood still as she looked towards two of her former squad mates, her guilt in knowing she was no longer their leader caused a small pit in her stomach as they still treated her like their leader before she too drew her blade before taking position in the center of the doors, a common formation as the two with longer weapons would utilize their reach as the enemy would rush through a focal point while Sin herself would finish them off at close range.
Yet, as the three took up their positions, Sin found she was more troubled by the sword than facing the coming unclean if they attacked. Her eye straying to the intricate hilt and the gleaming metal of the blade before traveling to Wrath's weapon which though well made was crude compared to the sword Dominique gave her. With a sigh she tore her eyes from the blade, not noticing that for just a moment she let her inner self out before shutting it back away; she would ponder the sword after they returned to base, and when within her sanctuary. Though as she once more focused upon the double doors, two people noticed her sigh, the first being Sloth who for a brief moment opened one eye fully revealing a deep blue almost amerhyst eye and Leon who was looking over towards her over his shoulder as he was examining one of the bays.

Dominique couldn't help but feel uneasy around Leon. His lack of respect for a Templar was just not Crusader like. She couldn't help but wonder when he exactly became a Crusader, and the fact that his armor wasn't like the others made her wonder even more. She she looked over to Sin wondering just how much this was taking a tole on her mentally. She knew that she had taken her away from her team . . . away from the people she had known for almost all her life. She shook her head as she walked over to the computers. Walking around she brought all the computers up allowing them to come up while she worked on the first one.
Bringing up several files on the computer she couldn't make heads or tails of anything. They were records of what she could guess was for what ever was inside of the containment unites. She continued to scroll down allowing her eyes to skim the numbers that were filling the page until she reached the end and out of the 23 test subjects showing that only 6 were successful to move on to the next phase of the testing. But this computer told her nothing or brought up what had happened to the others who failed the first level of testing. She shut the computer down and moved over to another one.
This computer showed her something rather disturbing. The failed test subjects weren't let go or moved to another area. They were disposed off like they were the vial undead that ruled the world. She shivered before realizing that she could hear something. It wasn't in the room, but outside of the room. She looked up to the door where the 3 Black armored Crusaders stood guard. The slow movement of metal echoed through the hall indicating that there were more undead Crusaders moving up the hall. She wondered if she could even call them undead. She shook the thought aside and turned back to the computer. She put in a disk to record the documents on the screen before getting up and moving tot he next computer.
Bringing it up she found what she was looking for. The information on what had happened to the 6 subjects in the second phase. Though as she skimmed through the documents she found something disturbing. A name in the file that she recognized, but not a name of an individual. She looked up to Sin and the others before looking at the computer. The virus name she recognized as the virus introduced into the Crusaders to help them grow stronger, and to make them immune. She knew that some of them weren't capable of bonding with the virus so they were put into different area's with the Templars.
Looking back at the second computer she now realized that she had been lied to. Putting the disk in she hit the download button, but continued to read this one a bit more. It had to deal with the virus that ran through Sin, and so far what she knew wasn't the truth. The more she read the more her stomach turned. Everything she knew wasn't the truth, and everything her father had told her and taught her was a lie. She pulled the disk out and gathered the second one out as she heard the sound of the Crusaders moving closer to them. "I've got everything I need," she called out as she pulled the last disk out.

Dominique's shout seemed to act like a signal for the unclean Sin thought of as from the darkness of the corridor appeared a group of unclean crusaders, weapons clutched in their hands as they started moving slowly before gaining speed as almost in mass they released a yell as the front ranks charged with weapons held high. Sloth and Wrath tensed on either side of the open doors, while Sin brought her sword up into a guard position as the first ranks of the enemy neared the doors, when the front one passed the threshold Wrath with all his might spun as his war hammer screamed in the air before impacting the unclean in the chest rocketing it back into its fellows knocking them to the ground. Sloth slid out from her side, her spear a flash as those unclean that tripped on the bodies of their fallen forced them to become impaled onto Sloth's spear, Wrath sliding out to use the top of his war hammer to shove the body back while Sloth drew back on her spear before they both jumped back to their sides.
By then several had made it pass the threshold, two of the unclean running towards Sin, with a flick of her wrist she sent the blade of her gift flying out into a slash as the head of one unclean came sailing off, spinning into a crouch she sent the point of her blade threw the neck of the next one till it burst from the top of the head before drawing the blade cleanly out as she jumped back as several more rushed her.
Sloth moving forward, her spear already in motion as she thrust, the tip punching through the metal of the one unclean's back, Sin sword flashing as she removed that one's head as Wrath with a twist of his hands brought his war hammer's blade into play as he sent it crashing down into the head of another unclean, the weight of the weapon slicing the head open and mid way down. Placing is foot upon the body he pulled his weapon free as Sloth rushed in with her spear to skewer an approaching unclean its blade in an attack just as the point slid in smoothly into the unclean's throat. Sin dashing forward beyond the impaled unclean to trade blows with a two handed axed wielding unclean, falling to her knees as her blade bit into the shaft of the axe as its blade came within inches of her face.
From the side Wrath's war hammer flew, its blunt face outward as it crashed into the chest of the axe wielding unclean sending it flying threw into the air into more of its fellows as those fell backwards. Standing side by side, Sloth dropped her spear to draw her uzi's in each hand as Sin drew forth her Vector to blanket the fallen bodies with a hail of bullets as Wrath waited by the side.
In seconds the attackers were reduced to only a few as Sloth and Sin holstered their weapons before drawing forth their melee weapons to finish the survivors off as Wrath crushed them with his warhammer. In all the entire attack lasted lesser than a few minutes as the three black armored crusaders once again fell into a formation through this time Sin was a the forefront, her blade shining in the light.
Returning from his observation of the bays, his eyes looking towards the three crusaders as they slowly moved out of the room into the corridor, stepping over the bodies and limbs lying upon the ground, "They are something aren't they....", turning his head slightly towards Dominique, "...of course you Templar scum really messed them up...", with that he unslung his assault rifle to start walking slightly behind the three crusaders.

Dominique couldn’t help but glare at Leon. It wasn’t for the way he addressed the Templars, but it was the comment he had made. She wondered just how much he actually knew about what was going on with the Crusaders. Looking back at Sin and the others she wondered just how much she actually knew. From what she could understand there was a lot more wrong this picture than she had been told. Cursing slightly she shook her head before pocketing the last disk. She wondered if she should give him the disk, but as she watched Sin and her graceful movements she wondered if her father would use it as an excuse to take Sin away from her. She wasn’t going to allow that.
Turing to walk away she felt strong arms wrap around her. She cried out as she was dragged across the computers kicking. The crash of the computer seemed to alert to another door as it busted down when three more Crusaders came into the room. Dominique struggled with the current one feeling its crushing grip around her. She kicked the desk causing him to stumble back against the wall which didn’t leaving her without any foot room or the ability to touch the ground. She reached for her guns finding it difficult to draw them. She cried out as she felt her bones cracking causing her to cry out. With fear running through her she continued to struggle, and she had to force herself to calm down enough to think. Her mind running wild with what she had to do.
She looked up as another Crusader was making his way toward her. She cursed as she jerked at one of her guns. She tried shifting enough to grab one of her guns with both hands. She could feel the holster tearing at her belt, and at the last minute she felt it break free of her belt. Dropping the holster off of the gun she pointed up firing several shots at the Crusader approaching causing him to stumble back a few feet. She flipped the weapon upside down shoving it into the area between the armor. Firing a round she felt the arms release her dropping her to the floor. She rolled out of the way of a mace coming down to strike her. She stumbled to her feet gripping the desk to help her up. She fired several rounds into the head and chest of the one that was holding her. As he collapsed she had to roll over the desk in order to miss the mace of the next.
Ducking under his next swing as he tore through the desk. She risked a glance back at the others as more of the Crusaders pored through the door. The last of the three that came from the other direction trying to take on Leon. Looking up she realized where they had come from. “Fall back to the next room. It’s the Counsel Chambers,” she called as she ran out of the way of another swing. She turned firing several shots, but having to dodge another swing caused her to miss completely. She turned to gain a better stance, but instead felt the full force of the mace against her chest. She was thrown back against the wall. She slid down the wall hitting the ground, and feeling the sting in her chest. Still she managed to control herself as she readied her weapon firing from her position on the ground.
The Crusader fell short as he hit the ground with his mace slamming into the ground beside her. She panted slightly as she let her arms rest beside her. The cry of another fallen Crusader caused her to gather herself. Using the wall to help herself us she put her hand against her chest gasping slightly as she looked back at the others. “Secure the door and fall back. There will be another way out in the Counsel Chambers.”

Twisting her head, golden hair fanning out as her eyes focused on Dominique before tearing her gaze towards the unclean pouring through from one of the side doors, yet as she was about to launch herself at this new threat more rushed through the double doors as she twisted around to meet the first with her drawn sword against their blade-the sound of their blades striking ringing clear through the air as Wrath moved forwarded his war hammer a blurred streak as its head smashed into the face of another. Sloth falling back to join Leon as his assault rifle's fire exploded loud in the air, one of the unclean attacking him falling as the bullets chewed through its armor. A spear finishing off another one as Sloth drove the point through the back of its head before it came bursting out of the front, Leon already moving forward his rifle held in one hand to pull the body while Sloth pulled her spear out of the body.
Sin meanwhile could barely spare them a glance as she traded blows with one, a second one already moving in hampering her as she defended. Their swings hammering into her blade, the impacts coursing through her arms as she held onto her sword with two hands. Wrath meanwhile was taking on three at once, his war hammer a blur of movement as he used its pole and its head to block attacks and yet unable to go on the offensive as he was slowly pushed back from the double doors.
As Sin managed to at last break through, one of her foes falling to the ground; yet she barely blocked the remaining one's swing, which caused her to stumble backwards as two others swiftly joined the one that she managed to finish off. Behind her she heard the clang of metal falling to the ground and then the swift sounds of an assault rifle before finding Sloth standing by her side, her spear lunging forward through yet its point only hit the armored shoulder of the crusader but it was enough to stagger the unclean for Sin to move in swiftly her blade detaching its head before she had to twist to deflect the mace of another, Sloth using her spear to defend herself as they started to move backwards.
With a mighty heave Wrath flung to the three he was fighting before also falling back to join Sloth and Sin, the sounds of Leon's rifle blasting in the room as he fired into the approaching mob. Pulling back Sin moved beside Dominique her sword already sheathed as she wrapped one arm around the woman's shoulders before helping her towards the doors that led to the counsel chamber, Leon filling the gap as he fired another burst from his rifle, its rounds eating into the armor as Sloth and Wrath used their weapons reach to push them further back before making a dash-Leon sliding into the room followed by Sin and Dominique.
Sloth following close behind as Wrath took one more swing with his war hammer striking several and sending them to collapse into their fellows before he finally dashed into the room, Sloth slamming the door shut before engaging the lock as the door shuddered from the blows of the unclean.

She was glade when Sin helped her into the room. Leaning up against the wall she couldn't help but grab her chest again. It was screaming at her, and in a way it made her realize how weak Sin was in the woods when she first met her. When she was struck by her mace it never hurt nearly as bad as it did now. Her kevlar armor was suppose to absorber impacts as well as bullets, but no where near like her actual armor did. She knew she would have to get rid of this armor once she was out of here. It had taken the max punishment allowed for it over the past week, and it would take time for the new kevlar fitting to be made for her. Though as she looked at Sin when she stood beside her she could help but wanting to find out more.
From what she had seen on the disk she knew there was still a lot more about the Crusaders that she didn't know. An yet there was a lot of things that the Templars didn't seem to know about the Crusaders. They were changing, and it seemed for the better. Showing sutle emotions or hiding those emotions for others. Their bond seemed stronger than normal. Even without Sin being the leader they seemed to follow her out of respect more than following her because of command. They were just like anyone or anything else. They grow and adapt to their situations, and being embedded with a virus seemed to make them adapt even quicker.
Letting out a breath she looked around the room seeing the chairs at the front of the room. The red curtains surrounding them and many times she could remember watching her father and the Counsel members walk behind the curtains. She always thought that there was just a room back there, but from Pain had informed her earlier there was more back there. She pushed off the wall trying her best to straighten herself up as she moved across the floor. Her right hand holding pressure on her chest as she moved. She knew she hadn't cracked anything which surprised her considering how hard she was hit, and how hard she hit the wall. What hurt was the fact she could feel the bruising, and it was hard to breath.
Still she had to gather herself. Even though her general mission was over with, and they could exit out of the main doors she had something else. "This way," she called over her shoulders as she walked behind the curtain. She looked around finding the room that she figured was back here. It was a simple room with a large table in the room surrounded by chairs and nothing else. Though what caught her attention was the open door leading down into a stairway. She walked over to the door realizing that it was suppose to be a hidden door. Looking back as the others approached. "I'm going to sound a bit dumb here, but it seems that our glorious Counsel knew more about this attack then they are letting on."

"More than you could ever know little girl...", from the door Dominique found came a voice that was both feminine and yet unnerving, though what unnerved the most was when a female sized creature walked out. It was vaguely human shape but it stopped there as the light fell fully upon the creature, the flesh like hair that draped down one side of its face, the feline like eyes to the arms that ended in foot long claws. The truest punch was the remains of black armor that still draped portions of its body, yet from behind its back whipped out a tail that speared towards Sloth who intercepted the attack with her spear, the appendage wrapping around the haft of the spear before pulling the woman even in her armor towards the creature who jumped further back into the room beyond the secret room, further down the stairs.
"f**k Sloth..", yelling at the top of his lungs, his young face twisted in fear as he unslung his assault rifle before barreling through the door, his booted feet echoing as they struck the metal of the stairs. Sin moving to slow to stop him as her hand missed him by a few inches, "Leon hold...", yet he was already gone as she motioned for Wrath to follow him.
Just as the silent warrior hefted his war hammer, a figure appeared beside him, Sin only beginning to realize the creature was almost like a chameleon as Wrath's hammer flung out, its head sinking into the wall as the creature side stepped the attack as the wall collapsed revealing another room. The creature jumping through the hole as Wrath charged forward, and from within the room came the sounds of smashing.
For a moment Sin stood stock still, realization that the enemy was intelligent, perhaps even more so than them and the idea floating within the back of her mind that they were all former Black armored crusaders with the images of the bays in the other room. "Dominique remain here, I will assist Wrath in subduing his foe and we will regroup to...", her words cut off when they heard from the other room a load screech, as if metal was being torn apart forced Sin to dash into the room they left only moments ago, her sword held in her hand as her eyes fell upon a sight that shook her.
Stepping through the remains of the doors, the metal red hot as well as the metal of the blade of his scythe a creature entered the room. Horns jutting from his head nearly touching the high ceiling of the room, and the the hand holding the scythe was normal if bigger than any normal person's would be his other hand was nothing but claws as he walked forward-the light catching upon the black chest plate that covered his chest, the black armor of his leggings. With his clawed hand he tossed the head of an unclean crusader, a fierce scowl upon his visage as yellow eyes peered towards Sin his face revealing something of pleasure at the sight of the female crusader.
From his fanged lined mouth came a voice that was strange soft compared to the rest of him, "These unclean crusaders they are not worthy of battling, they die to easily...don't you think so as well sister.", as he moved it revealed the other room, all the unclean in various states of dismemberment as he took a step forward towards Sin. "But I believe I have met a worthy challenger to me.", hefting his scythe in one hand before giving Sin a bow before straightening, "I formally introduce myself to you sister, Famine084Z012 the former rank one of this facility and I believe you are Sin the former rank one of the main base in this area.", with a salute of his massive scythe, "I believe we are well met...now its time for you to die.", with that in what felt like a brief second he appeared in front of Sin, his scythe swinging down.
With barely any time to react Sin brought her blade to bear as her blade struck the curved edge of the scythe before feeling her feet leave the ground and she was sent sailing through the air to crash against the far wall. Yet just as she landed upon the ground she barely had enough time to roll away, still clutching her sword as the tip of the scythe slashed down were moments ago her head was, and just as she stopped rolling she was sent flying backwards from a black handed blow from Famine.

She wanted to move, wanted to force her body to move, but as she seen this new BoW many things seemed to come together in her head. The testing that was run in this facility indicated to the manipulation to the virus within the Crusaders' body. The Red armored Crusaders being weak and turning into mind controld puppets who can depict their actions. Each of them willingly obeying an order giving to them. But as she watched the Black armored BoW he was nothing that she had ever seen, and yet all the BoW's within the facility were Black Crusaders. She gritted her teeth as she seen Sin thrown across the room like she was nothing. Sin was a very strong and determined Crusader, but she wasn't even able to get up before she was throw across the room.
She had to do something. She couldn't let the fact that this Crusader was bigger and a lot stronger than her. Sin was in trouble, and if she had a way out she couldn't see it. All she could see was Sin being tossed around like a rag doll before she could do anything. Dominique looked around the room before dashing to the other side of the curtains. She waited until he was under the curtains before shooting out the main line that was holding the entire row. As the curtain fell she rushed forward toward Sin. Her run was short lived as a large sythe cut through the red curtain and straight down in front of her. She had to slide to a stop only to have the pole of the scythe strike her in the stomach nocking her across the floor.
She struggled to her feet as she looked up at the Crusader. He directed his attention back to Sin which seemed logical. She was the greater threat out of the both. But she knew that she had to make herself a threat in order to direct his attention to her. If that was the case then maybe Sin would be able to get an attack in. Bringing out both of her guns she fired on the creature finding that none of the bullets were even piercing the armor, and it barly even damaged the skin. Maybe it felt like paper cut, but it wasn't any worse than that. An yet he continued his approch toward Sin. "Fine," she growled under her breath.
Reaching behind her coat she pulled out a hidden dagger. Running forward she used the chair closes to the Crusader to jump on the Crusader's back. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and her left arm around his neck. With her free hand she took the dagger and plunged it into his chest finding that his skin was a lot tougher than she expected. "Sin!" she called trying to get her attention. She didn't care if she could do anything considering how she had been thrown around she just wanted to know if she was okay. She tried to dig the blade in deeper as she held on tightly.

Sin skidded across the table, her armor carving deep gouges into the wood before sailing over the side to rest up against the wall bordering what was once a door. Somehow Sin managed to retain consciousness but barely as she laid upon the floor her body one giant wound it seemed as she watched dazed as Dominique tried to reach her before being swatted away by Famine. I have...I have to get up...protect Dominique.., grasping the thought like she was drowning, just to beat away the darkness that was threatening to overtake her, Sin managed to lever herself off the floor enough to rest her back against the wall. Yet even that effort brought renew pain throughout her body.
Breathing heavily, her hair falling about her face as she gritted her teeth as she brought the sword point first to the ground, using it as a lever to push herself up against the wall till she regained her feet. Aware that Dominique was attacking the monster, it was the only thing she could term Famine as she wearily got to her feet. Gritting her teeth she pushed herself off from the wall as she lifted her sword, the action almost causing her to fall face first to the ground before catching herself as she stumbled till she caught herself upon the edge of the table.
I will protect...Dominique..., wrapping her free arm around her midsection and using the table she started moving towards Famine and Dominique, the tip of her sword dragging along the floor.
With a snarl, his voice more annoyed than hurt, "Begone pest...before I send you to your father with at least one missing limb.", with that Famine reached up to grab Dominique by the scruff of the neck, pulling her off him as if she was an over eager puppy before shaking her for moment. Scowling, his yellow eyes glinting dangerously, for a moment he debated at least knocking the woman out so he could finish off Sin with some ease, though he was disappointed that Sin hadn't proved as much of a challenge, but he did admit she lasted longer than most would have.
Yet, before he could do anything with Dominique he felt a searing pain in his leg, his hand opening dropping Dominique to the ground before twisting around to see Sin standing behind him. Her sword streaked with blood as his eyes trailed down to see that she had severed his tendon that would slow him down before he could heal. With a roar, filled with both pain and rage he twisted around to grab Sin by the throat, lifting the woman by her throat before tossing her through the air, her form smashing into the wall causing several cracks to form before bringing up his scythe to bear as the woman even though dazed still managed to get back up to her feet.
I will give her that...she is a stubborn one..., his rage subsiding when the realization that Sin had managed to wound him and in a place that would hamper his movement, he grudgingly respected her for that and so he would finish her in one stroke instead of prolonging the fight.
With some difficulty his severed tendon forcing him to limp towards Sin who now rested against the cracked wall her sword held limply up as he hefted his scythe.

Dominique lay on the ground dazed for a moment. It was no gentle shake that she was given, and then to be dropped to the ground didn’t seem to help the fact either. She put her hand on her face as she pushed herself to her feet. She looked around the room for something to use before her eyes fell on the center Counsel man’s chair. The chair her father sat in and it seemed to click in her mind what this Crusader had said. She looked toward him as he approached Sin his movements a lot slower than before. How would he know about her father she had never even been to this facility before, and she was pretty sure that he never even spoke about her to others unless it was to turn her down for things she wanted.
His drive wasn’t to get rid of her, but to go after Sin. Just like her father wanted. They must have been failsafe if Sin had gotten this far. Gritting her teeth she looked down at her guns that were currently empty and sighed a bit. Even full they were useless against this person, and there was no other weapon she could use. Though for her using a weapon would also be pointless she didn’t stand too much of a chance. She had to help Sin . . . she had to prove to her father that he wasn’t going to take Sin away from her. Her eyes fell on a shield that was hanging on the wall. It wouldn’t be able to take much damage, but maybe should at least be able to stop this one attack.
Running forward her jerked the shield off the wall without looking weather it actually came off the wall. She slid in front of Sin raising the shield. She knew that the shield wouldn’t be able to take the damage from the blade, but coming up she allowed the blade to pass over the shield but the staff portion hitting the edge of the shield. She held her breath seeing how close the blade of the scythe was to her, and in order for the shield to be effective she had to be close to her arm. That posed a problem and as she was quickly down to one knee struggling against the blade. "You will have to go through me to get to her," she growled. "I wont let father killer her." Feeling the blade cutting into her arm as the end rested against it. Struggling she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep this up. “Sin, get your footing. You can beat this creep now that you've managed to slow him down."

Falling further back against the wall as Dominique blocked Famine's attack with a shield, the blade slowly cutting into her arm Sin wanted to move, to attack but her body refused to respond-the sword feeling so heavy as she struggled to remain standing on her feet. Dimly aware of Dominique's words, something about her father aiming to kill someone as she slowly slid down the wall her body sapped of strength finally as the blows she took finally began to tell on her body. Perhaps she might have been able to withstand the attacks but over the night her body had attained so many wounds and with such a short amount of time to recover it was finally costing her as the sword finally fell from her hand to rest against Dominique's foot.
"Forgive...me...I-I've..failed..you..", her voice straining to get the words out as darkness finally enveloped her as she sagged to the floor fully, her chin resting upon the black metal of her armor.
With a smile, Famine watched as Sin finally fell to her wounds; though he disliked the idea that he fought her after hearing what she had gone through the night before, Famine was satisfied that it would now only take a single quick stroke to finish her off. Of course he now had to deal with this infuriating young Templar that he was forbidden from harming, well at least nothing life threatening at least.
With a snarl he drew back his scythe as he noticed the blood now soaking its blade as he reached out to tear the shield from the young woman's grasp, her strength no where able to compete against his own as he tossed the shield away. "Do you think such a wound would prevent me from finishing off her, even you must admit that is a far flung hope with the wounds she has sustained that even I can see she is not even at her full strength.", brushing Dominique to the side, his hand grasping the shoulder pad of Sin's armor before lifting her off the ground, her body hanging limply from his grip as he brought he dropped his scythe to draw forth a dagger.
"Now I shall finish this warrior's life and be done with this business...it has grown not as enjoyable as I would have hoped.", with that said he drew his hand back, the blade of the dagger gleaming in the light.

Dominique stumbled back as she was swatted away like nothing. She growled slightly as she seen the sword. She growled slightly as she seen the sword. Her eyes growing wide as she realized she had something in this fight. She threw off her coat, dropped her kevlar padding, and dropped her gun holster. She was fast on her feet, and faster without the weight. Sin had slowed him down enough for her to use what she was good at. Rushing forward she could feel her body moving faster than it normaly did. She was never strong growing up so she had to find something else to be good at. Something she could keep up with those who were stronger than her. She picked up the sword as she passed by. With his scythe down for the time being all she had to do was get Sin out of his hands.
She didn’t have the strength to cut through the armor, but he seemed to have enough body exposing. She couldn’t get to his arms, but the center of his back was easly reached. Jumping up she drove the blade of the sword into his back. Unlike the dagger the blade was longer, and she knew it would at least get his attention. An the moment she felt him jerk she knew that the blade was effective. He shook trying to shake her off not wanting to let Sin go. She had to do more. Planting her feet on his back she gerked the blade to the side feeling it cut through something. She watched as he let go of Sin in order to reach behind him to pull her off. Instead she used that to pull the blade free and flipp back. Landing on her feet near the shield she picked it up again.
Still he re directed his attention back to Sin. “Come on,” she growled as ran forward. “It doesn’t seem like a being of your stature would be one to listen to orders,” she called out as she drove the blade of the sword into his undamaged leg. She pulled the blade out and raised the shield as he threw a punch. She cried out as she forced herself to stand her ground, but her feet slid back. She felt the cracking not only in the shield but her arm. He seemed to turn his attention toward her this time. “Really? If that’s all it took I would have done it sooner.”
“You are becoming a nuesence. I will deal with you before dealing with your friend.”
“I thought you couldn’t kill me,” she said with a grin. “My father would be very upset about that.”
“I have to give you back alive . . . not in one piece,” he said as he raised his dagger to strike. Dominique quickly rolled out of the way bringing the shield back up to block a backhand. Though the shield took the blunt of the strike she was throwin back against one of the chairs in the room. The chair fell back, but didn’t give her enoug time to think as Famine’s fist came down. She rolled back just as his fist hit the chair shattering it. “You may be missing an arm or two when I am done with you.”
“How about I plunge this blade through your neck.” Famine only laughed in her response swinging the dagger again she used the shield to block the attack. Instead of the shield taking the full blunt of the damage it cracked and bent allowing the dagger to pierce it. She could feel cutting through her arm, and the tip digging into her shoulder. She held back a cry as he pulled the dagger back. She dropped the shield only to have her feet taken out from under her. Her head hitting the ground before he pulled her into the air. She dangled in front of him as he walked back over to Sin. “You really are pathetic . . . allowing a weaker vesel to control you.”
“You should be glade I follow my orders or you would be dead already.” He stopped just above Sin before looking at Dominique. “How do you want to go back to your father?” He let go of one leg and started squeezing the other. Dominique cried out as she felt the bone cracking in her leg. “I think I’ll break every bone in yor body.”
Dominique bit her lit as she tried to hold back her cry. She could feel the bones cracking in her leg, but could also see her way of defeeting him. Reaching out she could barley touch the dagger that was still imbeded in his chest. It was just out of the way if she just reached for it, but she knew what she had to do. She swung forward gripping the blade. As Famine realized what she was going after he pulled her back only to pull the dagger out of his chest. Dominique didn’t give him a chance to thin about what she was planning. Instead she flipped the dagger around and threw it at his face the blade cutting into his eye. He dropped Dominique and reached up grabbing his eye. When he staggered back he stumbled over his scythe falling to the floor.
Forcing back her urge to just lay on the ground she staggered to her feet. Feeling like crap she stumbled toward Famine as fast as she could. If he got back up there was no wining this fight. As she moved forward he was working on getting up. Taking the blade she drove it down into the bend of the arm supporting him causing him to fall back. “Nothing . . . my father does will succeed,” she panted as she reached his head. “I will not let him take Sin away from me . . . she is my partner.” She raised the sword up driving it down into his neck. Pulling it back so she cut through his neck, and as her blade cut through the neck allowing the blood to poor out she staggered back collapsing to the ground.
With her good hand she pushed herself to her feet limping badly as she moved toward Sin. She kept glacning over her shoulder to make sure Famine didn’t get back up. She had dealt with BoW’s before after you thought you killed them they got back up to attack. She couldn’t take another attack if he did. She dropped the sword near Sin as she collapsed as was by her side. With her good had she shook her trying to wake up. “Please Sin wake up,” she said lightly. “Please be okay . . . I am so sorry this has happened.” She chocked back the urge to cry as she thought about what her father had done. “Please wake up.”

Sin fought, a voice, a life line as she fought back to consciousness and with a groan she opened her eyes to look up towards Dominique hovering over her, eyes filed with worry and tears. "S-orry...for failing...Lady...Templar.", it was a struggle to get the words out, her breathing still shallow as she fought to a more seated position before letting her hands drop, one touching the warm leather of the sword, her fingers reflexively tightening around the hilt as she rested her head back against the wall. Yet, despite her attempts she couldn't lift herself any further, the wounds had taken their toll through out her body and now she was unable to draw the strength.
"The sword...Lady Templar...the others....if their foes...foes, defeated them...you must defend yourself...I can't...", having to stop as she caught her breath, the aches of her body vying for dominance and instead she tried to lift the sword yet only able to lift it a few inches before it fell back to the floor.
"That won't be necessary, the assumed hostiles have apparently fled.", walking through what remained of the doors, Leon stopped to look upon the giant body of Famine laid out upon the floor, a pool of black blood growing swiftly around it. "Of course...this f**ker might have a reason as to why they left so quickly.", shrugging his shoulders before walking over to examine Dominique and Sin, Sloth and Wrath appearing a few seconds later, though they showed signs of minor wounds they were in good health as they both stopped to stare at the huge body before making their way over to where Leon stood.
Sin struggled to stand despite her wounds, though Dominique held her down, whispering words not to over do it as she once again fell back to rest against the wall. "You must...must, retreat complete the mission...leave me behind...", it as a heartfelt plea, knowing she would only slow them down, though Dominique was wounded, Sin was unable to gain her feet again, her wounds having sapped her strength finally after a night of fighting.
"f**k like I will let you play the sacrifice card again Sin, had enough of that damnable tactic last night...Wrath pick her up and carry her...though try to be f**king gentle. Sloth help Dominique she is pretty busted up...", as Sloth pulled Dominique away from Sin, being gentle as she draped Dominique's arm around her shoulders, and Wrath gently picking up Sin in his arms, his war hammer snug along his back before standing up-Leon turned his stare towards Dominique his eyes flicking back towards the giant form of Famine, "I saw the end to this...nice work....for a Templar b*tch...", with a shake of his head, Leon led the group towards the hidden stair case, before speaking again, "From what I can gather from a map I "gained" back in the main base this should lead us to one of the feeder tunnels that connect to the main base...lucky for us the Council planned the set up so well.", his final words dripping with sacrasm as the wounded group set out.
Though Sin did cry out gently when Wrath picked her up, she had remain silent as they started onto the stairs, Wrath being as gentle as he could though she still felt each step of his as she rested her head against his shoulder. She couldn't help but stare at Dominique, her hand clutching the sword that Wrath wrapped her fingers around and placing gently with her.
