Valeri scowled to himself when the preacher mans goons discarded the robes and advanced. He raised his hand, two fingers pointed at the one goon, and muttered a line from his book. A mixed spiral of fire and lightning flew from the fingers, lancing right at the nearest unengaged gas masked soldier. It had taken a little longer then he liked, but he had pieced together enough to know where he stood. The Harmonixers, he hadn't had a chance to speak or even see one in ages, considering the blood lines were practically dead. Some were corrupt, some were not, but this one didn't appear corrupt, although the two's aura's were different. He would of spoken with the man, but he had more pressing issues to handle, such as Nicholai and his men. He prepared his defenses, turning to more explosive spells, while watching the others reactions to the turn of events. He had a lack of trust for Nicholai and his servants, and an attack on the Harmonixer proved his distrust. The man on the roof tops had come to a similar conclusion it seemed, firing as he did. He raised his palm at the whole group in general, which could of led to any sort of unpleasant spells in their direction.
"Well, going for a Harmonixer then? I have not seen any of them in quite some time, considering they are almost dead as it is. And just because said Harmonixer has a demon taking residence in part of his soul, does not in fact prove that he is a demon in nature. While it is not the most tasteful way to gain power, it can be used for purposes other then evil, dark, unholy, whatever word fits. Perhaps you should explain why your auras are not a holy mans, more a sheer power similar to the Harmonixers? For those who are not so well informed as I. Or shall I have to get peeved, suddenly and violently and all over the place?"

Milly gripped the handle of the sword. The child inside wanted to unsheath the sword in a second and run as quickly as she could towards Nicholi without bothering to listen to his explanations of why he was acting like he was. It seemed that Valeri was right about the priest and anyone that pretended to be a man of god deserved to be punished. However, the adult side was fighting against the child.
Forget maturity. She finally decided. Her eyes slanted and, while John actually started attacking, Milly chose to stay slightly defensive. She quickly unsleathed her sword and placed a foot behind her, in a running position. When something came at her, she would start running with her sword protecting her body and attacking the target, whether it was Nicholi or the others around him.

Nicholi looked around at the ones he had recruited to help him in his endeavors, and it made him angry to no end. He looked around at the group, seeing the man on the roof with the gun as the biggest threat at the moment.
“Slaughter them!” He snarled to his men, whipping his hand up toward John and firing a burst of fire from his palm at the armored man. The rest of his goons ran at the group, some from in front and some from behind. Xanthira already had two ready to attack, Valeri and Milly having the better part of 20 goons coming up right behind them. The man in black ran forward and jumped into the air short of a goon and spun, connecting his foot to back of the man’s head. The goon fell to the ground and laid still.

Xanthira ran forward growling as she did. As the two men attacked her she jumped into the air tackling one man to the ground. Her teeth going for his mouth until she heard something. Her ocean blue eyes glancing to her right as the second man swung his weapon toward her. She jumped back avoiding his attack. Shifting on the ground she jumped through the air at the second goon that had attacked her. Her claws slicing across his chest causing him to stumble back wards. Moving quicker than the injured man could she jumped from the ground once more, her teeth sinking into his neck as she planted her four paws against him, and as she jumped off of him she tore through his neck causing his blood to spray the walls.
She cried out as she felt the blade of the first man cut down her right front paw. She let out a furious growl as she turned toward the first man. As he raised his sword up to strike she was already making her move. Jumping forward her teeth sinking into the same arm as the one holding the sword. The man cried out as he dropped the weapon. She growled as she pulled the man throwing him against the wall. Xanthira walked up to him snarling as she did. She placed one of her paws on his chest, and reached down with her teeth once more wrapping them around the mans neck. With a quick jerk snapping it and killing him. She then turned and made a full charge toward the priest, jumping in the air to tackle him to the ground.

"Ah hell."
The fire blast hit John square in the chest plate, knocking him flat on the roof, his gun dropped from his grasp to the street below. Two of the assassins scaled the walls using their claws to get up to him when Nicolai gave them the go ahead. Using the edge of the roof as a jump point they dove claws first at their prone opponent.
John shook off the dizzyness in time to see the attack, rolling to the side to avoid the two. Their claws jammed into the slates as he swung a leg back to trip them, one bowling into his partner and knocking him off the rooftop.
Both opponents regained their footing before acknowledging each other again, the 'priest' making a lunge attack whilst John used a left jab, his gauntlet hitting the blade square on and shattering it, continuing the punch into the mans hand and following up with a hook to the stomach. As the man collasped gasping John took the opportunity to leap to the ground below, best to find his gun and try to finish the fight quickly, maybe the others would surrender once Nicolai was in danger.

The first goon charged him, swinging a horizontal slash at his head. He ducked, and slashed upwards with his knife, slashing his throat and spilling the blood. A sickly green aura encompassed his arm, and leapt into the dead goon, and as he fell, he recovered and attacked the one right behind him, dead but serving Valeri. This immediate threat handled, he flipped to a page with spells designed to alter materials in mind. He found one that was an interesting one, turning metal into a material of his choice. He jabbed his ring finger at the next goon, turning his mask into a flesh mask, dead flesh, and possessed the dead flesh with a minor spirit, causing it to clamp down and start digesting the goons face. A gurgling painful sound was all that was heard as he collapsed, and a third foe tried to slash his throat from behind. He stopped the claws with his knife, forcing enough breathing room and pocketing his book before spinning low, throwing the enemy back and facing off.
The goon came with a double slash, being locked with the knife and having his throat collapsed by a straight punch into the throat. Thinking fast, Valeri made the decay gases increase rapidly, causing the body to puff up and, when it was about to pop, Valeri jumped on it and the minor explosion threw him up and onto the roof. From this vantage, he began raining various destructive spells on the goons yet to enter the fray, determined to blow holes in them before they had any real chances. A second Zombie goon had joined the original, and were fighting in one direction, towards Nicholai.

"God, give me strength for what I am about to do." Milly muttered before completely unsleathing her smallsword. She was trained in fencing and it was now time for her skills to really be put to use although she almost wished that it really didn't have to come to this.
One of the goons behind her reached for her. Whether or not the goon was able to notice the threat the girl would be was a complete mystery but in seconds, Milly turned around and, with a quick swipe, sliced off the hands of the goon. It let out a horrified and painful scream which lasted only a few seconds before the sword was lodged into the goon's heart. Blood from the goon spilt onto Milly's cheek and some splattered onto the hem of her dress.
This didn't stop her.
Milly ripped out the sword and took a deep breath. When that was done, she ran at another nearby goon and shoved the sword into his stomach before it could even think about grabbing her. The attack assured her that it would die within a minute. She removed the sword and looked for another potential target.

Goons dropped like flies at the combined assault of the group. The combination of magic or martial skill from the individuals was too much for the weaker force to handle. The numbers soon started to diminish, but the Goons were not ones to give up.
Nicholi was tackled to the ground under the large form of Xanthira, holding up his arm in a defensive motion under her throat. With his free hand, he pushed against her stomach. A magical force lifted her into the air and slammed her into a nearby wall. He got to his feet and surveyed his situation as he picked up his saber, dropped when he had fallen. Seeing his men keeping the wizard and the child busy, he slammed his hand foreword at John. John felt himself leave the ground and shoot backwards, slamming into a wall with enough force to crack the stone.
Nicholi turned his attention to his main target, the man in black, as he was finishing a goon. The goon fell to the ground after having his legs kicked out from under him, killed with a quick snap as the man in black stomped down on the goon’s neck. He turned in time to see Nicholi a mere feet away, see the glint of the priest’s sword cut the air. With supernatural power, the blade parted flesh and bone, cleaving off the man in black’s arm at the elbow. No blood left the wound, and the man in black seemed unaffected as his other hand flew foreword. It connected with Nicholi‘s jaw, knocking the priest to the ground.
The last of the goons, seeing their leader fall, did the opposite of what could have been expected. They grew more exuberant in their attacks. Milly found herself flanked by two on either side of her. Valeri saw his zombies be cut down and watched as the goons seemed to get better at dodging his spells. A few even began scaling the walls to attack him. John and Xanthira, both still on the ground trying to recover from the impressive force of Nicholi’s spells, each had two goons coming to deliver the coup d'etat.

Xanthira stumbled to her feet staggering as she did. Her head was ringing and her body was screaming. Not to mention she was already feeling the drain on her powers. It wouldn't be much longer before she had to switch to either her kitten form or back to her human form. Either way it was going to be bad, because at the moment she couldn't fight in either form. She didn't even have her armor or her weapons on her at the time of their meeting. Xanthira turned toward the goon that was making his way toward her.
She growled slightly as she hunkered down. Her eyes glaring at the man, before she charged him. Slamming full force into his body with her own. Her teeth trying to reach for any part of the man's neck or anything she could possibly get ahold of. Her claws taring at his clothes as she attempted to pin him to the ground.

"Ow....glad this thing comes with padding."
John pulled himself out of the indent he'd made in the wall during impact, dusting himself off. The two goons approached crossing their blades and taking defensive stances, looking like they wanted him to make the first move. He buckled down and decided not to dissapoint, charging straight for the one on the left and tackling him. The second sliced John's suit across the back as the first started trying to cut through his helmet. Skidding to a halt John released the goon letting the momentum throw him against the wall, a swinging fist knocking the second aside.
"Let's wrap this up. Y'know, before the war ends."
He drew his revolver and fired at the goons as they started scaling the walls to dodge him. With only six rounds in the gun he aimed carefully, trying not to let them get to any vantage points.

(I got permission to skip Rosetta's turn)
Milly barely had time to see the two goons on her side and she didn't have very much time to think, so she ducked to the ground to avoid being hit by the goons. It sort of worked. The goons were able to kick her sides but were not able to do any real damage. She had to be quick to make her next move. The goons could wise up and give a fatal attack on her as a revenge for taking care of their allies. An idea came to her head suddenly.
The girl crawled up to her hands and feet and quickly in between the legs of the goon to her left so she was behind him. It was something she'd done for as long as she could remember and she was now thankful that she remembered how to crawl quickly. When she stood onto her feet, she turned around quickly and looked at the goons. No longer were they covering both sides and one was very close to her.
She said nothing, but gave a quick stab towards the back of the nearby goon.

For all the instant motivation the goons gained out of nowhere, it did them no good. Xanthira caught hold of the neck of one of them, ripping through his armor and flesh like paper. He fell to the ground, blood spurting from the wound. John’s well placed shots tore into their bodies, their armor not enough to protect them from the high caliber rounds. As Milly crawled under one of the goons, the other stabbed at her. His aim off, he impaled his friend. Milly’s sword found its mark as well, and the henchman was gone. In a twitch of his arm, he slashed up. In a stroke of bad luck, he sliced a lethal gash across the torso of his friend.
All the goons laid on the ground dead or dying now, the only one left alive and able was Nicholi. Even he was on the ground, trying to recover from the blow to his jaw. It looked as though the battle was won.

Xanthira let out a vicious roar as she approached Nicholi. She staggered slightly before stopping. Her eyes gazing looking toward the sky knowing well enough she had stayed in the tigers form long enough. She regretted the thought as she knew she was just in her evenings dress, and not her armor nor did she have her weapon with her at the time. Cursing inwardly as her tiger form slowly took on the form of the young woman that everyone saw in the church. Her long teal dress taking form to her body, and she stopped where she stood. "Give it up Nicholi your out numbered here and your men are nothing but blood stains among this great war we all fight. You may be a priest, but not one I will condone doing business with anymore. Demon or not you ask before you attack. This man could have been a mer mortal among us, and you went right out accusing him. All the priest I have known would not have done such a thing . . . End it now while you still have a chance."

John walked over to the prone Nicolai and stood on his wrist, just enough pressure to keep his arm pinned and not crush it under the weight of his suit. He opened the chamber of his revolver and let the empty casings drop out, taking more bullets from his belt pouch one at a time to reload.
"and let's not see any of your hocus tricks Nicky, I'm willing to overlook your organised assault on a kid, myself and..." He looked at Xanthira "Maybe cruelty to animals, I'll have to decide how that writes up. Point being, now we get some answers about your real quarrel with this man, without throwing around 'demons' 'blasphemy' and 'thou shalt not suffer a witch', I have little patience for high and mighty."

(Again, I got permission to skip Rosetta's turn)
Milly let out a small deep breath after she pulled her sword from the body of her target. Blood covered the tip of the sword, drops falling onto the ground. She kept the sword out of the sheath and turned her attention towards Nicholi. Nothing was going to come back to life and attack her from behind so she had no reason to worry about the goons attacking her although she felt some sympathy towards the ones she managed to kill.
The messages from Xanthira and John pretty much stated what she wanted to say to Nicholi so she didn't dare to repeat most of her message that was going through her mind. Instead, with spite in her voice, she said, "May God punish you with the evil you have brought upon the innocent." She put herself in a defensive position to protect herself if and when Nicholi tried to put an attack against her.
