Zack begins to draw glyphs int he air his eyes glowing purple. He frowns and wipes away his work. "No, no that wont work." A few more attempts all wiped away before he sinks back into the chair. "Hm....well lets see here. There is gonna need to be a psionic component, some sorta mental block to stop you from just sensing for or recognizing an energy signature. But mental manipulation is difficult with you. While outside manipulation has always worked to an extent direct manipulation of your thoughts all ends sooner or later. Your too stubborn to be mind controlled. Application is a problem your doing it willing it keeping them in place." He sits moving to the edge of the chair and starts again. "A reapplication of the trigger wont work, not fully. The chances of you unraveling it are too high. Maybe a self set trigger created from your own magic." He wipes away another set then starts again. Slowly and hour passes then another a one point he rose from his chair and wandered the halls of the old storage library before returning with a stack of old papers. Flipping through the stack he finds what he wants and continues drawing the glyph once more. Another hour passes before he finally stops and sits back Zack snaps his fingers and his clothes change. "time for some food."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lee's eyes are glazed as he endless lines of text scroll past him. Budgets, project updates and other such morning news streams before him when suddenly a papers magic's itself onto his desk. "What the fuck?" Lifting he page reads it once before going over once more. "Well aint this a son of bitch." Bringing up a holo-communicae he sends a quick message to one of his secretaries. On a different display he starts an inquest on a Jace's account activity.

"Two to the mile!"
He waves his hand in a grand flourish that would generally open a portal but nothing appears.
"..Please!"
Guest List: Chaos Gang Their kids Significant others
Rules: None outside of killing.
~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing from Jace himself since his death, few purchases from Ace on Jaces name notable as they are done electronically, Providence used Jaces account before, this one had a delivery to the Final Mile

"Sealed all teleportation magic it seems."
Rising from the chair he flicks his wrists and a glowing blue portal opens next to them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Typing on the digital keyboard Lee sighs and closes the display.
"I guess its time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zack steps through portal into the Last Mile Tavern. The creaking of the hard wood floors is the only noise in the empty bar. Light filters in from the glass ceiling through the pool above. The pane glass windows allow for view to the mile off border of Greya's Wood and the edge of the Grasslands to the east.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slowly releasing his breath he pulled the rifle snug against his shoulder.
"Sniper's Eye. Wind Wall. Steady Hand."
The magic envelops him in waves as each enchantment is applied. The marksman readjusts his aim as his vision enhances giving him clear sight of the 5th floor through the large glass windows. 10 miles was a far distance the bullet would have to travel. It would make trip the magic would assure that but the travel time would mean that his target could move before contact. Every variable must be accounted for that was the rule to trick shooting and it applied here too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Zack approached the unattended bar did he finally see another living being. Well hidden from his sense and magical warnings the man seemed to only be noticed when he wanted it to be so. With a groan of age the man lifts him self from his chair. "So it seems you have lost a few steps. In the past you would have had this place scouted before entering." The man speaks his voice warm and low, he brushes a strand of azure hair out of his face before reaching back and tying the long locks into a bun. His hair and goattee are peppered with grey and fire burns in his eyes. He is dressed in a robe that hands open showing his toned physique and sword pendant hangs from his neck and loose slacks cover with their hem bare feet. His hand grips the hilt of large two handed sword that lies on the table picking it up he rest it against his shoulder.
"Jace I hard my son gave you a run for your money a while back. I bet if he would have stuck to his training he would have beaten you. We all know Strith has never been your true rival." He shoots Zack a glance and a smile. "It about time a real opponent steps up." Chang Gorgano shifts his footing and points the long blade at Jace. "Blackblade. Blackguard." Both the blade of the Vandread and Chang's left arm become completely black.

Jace smiles and puts up his hands.
"I am only passing through Chang. Not here for a brawl, but a drink. Though if you insist"
Jace reached for the Fang, twice, the realization then dawns on him and he sighs.
"right.. No Swords.."
~~~~~~~~
(time shifting an opening for this unless you have a reason not to)
Ace walks into the mile and sees Change ready to de-throne his father, teleports in popcorn.
"I knew it was impossible for you to have friends"
~~~
Julia sits in her and Claudias old apartment, She made it this far but hadnt decided if she was going to join the rest of them, across from her sat Daemon who smiled when she looked at him.
"You dont have to wait for me"
"I wasnt invited"
"You are technically a child of of them, half of you is raised by my father, the other half molded by him and Created by Fox."
"Tell your father of technicalities and lets see what he thinks"
~~~~
Thorn looks at his watch a moment then the hellish landscape around him because, well he was in hell. or rather were he ended up after being killed, There wasnt any torture, just told to climb a tower. He had won some dual and his time was approaching where he would have a brief window of being alive again.
(little did he know)
he looked at his watch again and seems to fade and appear in the mile, he saw Chang and Jace then looked at Ace for a moment.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"

Chang flash steps sending chairs spinning and tables rocking. With arm level to his shoulder he stabs forward at Jace's chest. "Your gonna make this too easy."
Zack leans against the bar ready to watch the fight when he notices that he has been encircled by floating metal spheres. The Bits glow faintly the each fires a concentrated laser at Zack. Quickly he raises a hand and erects a barrier. A Fox teleportation gate opens behind the bar and Lee steps out. Dressed causally he has a shotgun resting in the crock of his arm. The advanced weapon modified to fire old gunpowder shells, plasma bursts and burning rays. wrapping his fingers around the grip of the gun he lifts it from its resting place and levels it at the back of Zack's head. "Lets get to it huh?" The "Diamond" erupts spitting fire and lead pelleting into Zacks barrier.

Jace looks down as the blade just pierces his skin he vanishes whats left is a multi colored gem on the floor, he comes up from behind the bar next to Lee*, Moves to slam the mans head into the bar in surprise.
"Hey Lee did you get my order? I could really use one of the blades right about now."
Jace grabs two bottles, takes a swig from each, grimaces at one and nod to the other, He chucks the bad one at the ceiling with enough force to shatter it and bats the glass at Chang as it rains with the other.
*Flashstep for the quick move, gem is pretty much magic hologram/tower trinket.
Ace laughs until Jace locks eyes with him and starts to pull the corbra, easily dominating his own sons will.

Sliding to a stop Chang kicks the gem and swings his blade about. He stabs the floor, his right hand gripping the hilt and the black colored left hand pointing his index finger at Jace behind the bar. "Black Rock Skewer."
Lee's head hits with brutal impact its casing gives in and collapses in Jace's hand, lifeblood spurts out to cover Jace and the bar. As mechanical pieces drop from the androids destroyed head. 3 more teleportation gates open scattered about the barroom and from each a Lee steps out. "Pretty life like right? RND spent a pretty penny getting the real skin feel." Each Lee levels its own Diamond plasma shotgun at Zack. "Now Jace we drew lots please keep to your own opponent."
An elongated version of Chang's sword blade erupts from the floor under Jace's feet. Shrapnel of jagged black stones are created with its arrival. Each stone encases a gravity spell that will trigger when the strike a living target with each spell trigger increasing the targets weight 10 folds.

Jace Vanished and appeared across the bar where Chang kicked the gem that was previously on the ground.
He slammed his hands together and Ace followed suit dropping down next to him, he placed his hand out and closed his eyes for but a moment Ace again mirroring him, Thats all it took for the red and Silver dragoon spirits to appear in Aces hand, then fly to Jace, the moment they touched his skin there was a nova of energy revealing Jace in the silver armor, the cannon replaced by a red gauntlet and the sword from the red spirit and the silver else, he kept the wing from coming out due to the close range.
The majority of the red spirit being suppressed the sword glowed with excess energy.
Jace looked at Chang and smiled.
"Much better"
He swung the swords and let loose blade beams at Chang, then felt a burn he hadn't in a long time as each attack and very movement in the armor took stamina and mana from him.

"Sable Sky Slice." wrenching the blade from the floor Chang'e Sword releases a black crescent of energy that collides with Jace's first Blade Beam it splits into two crescents, one staying at the contact point stuck in face off with the Blade Beam the other colliding and splitting with its opposing Blade Beam.
"Midnight Magma lash." Chang's Black Bladed Vandread begins to bubble and hiss like molten tar. A drops falls tot he floor and begins to brun through the wood. 'The silver spirit was unaspected, I wont be able to adjust to a strong element but the Red that I can deal with.' Chang's thought raced as he adjusted his footing preparing for the next strike.
Zack traces a pattern though the air with his fingers and his barrier shifts no longer a perfectly smooth globe but now hexagon'd polygon. The hexagon making his shield concave forcing the laser's from Lee's Bits to deflect away. Zack adjusts his rune adding and erasing pieces with each change the lasers slowly start be be angled at the 1 of the three Lee's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miles away the sniper had pulled the trigger sending his first bullet at its target in the bar.

'Jace' darted forward for Chang both blade held in an X before him the fires raged from the red sword as the X broke at the last minute into both blade sweeping in a figure eight to meeting again at the X in a slashing arc, during which the entire chest was exposed.
While this happens Jace flashes again to the gem behind the armor now moving autonomously. Flash steps around the back of Chang if not seen move to drive the rapier into his left lung between two ribs.
~~~~
Julia enters the bar sees her brother standing like a statue, everyone else fighting and sighs, she walked to the bar almost dancing around the fights "Ocelot added it to my tab!" she grabbed three bottles and poured herself a cocktail.
Daemon entered, he took one look at ace and poked him then pushed him over before Joining Julia at the bar.

Chang does not take the bait instead of striking at the obvious opening in Jace's flourish Chang circles about to the left swinging his sword in his right hand at Jace's right leg. The black crescents of Sable Sky slice dissipate releasing the two Blade Beams allow them to proceed forward right into the positioned Dragoon Armor. Chang snatches the rapier's tip from behind his back with his Black colored left hand yanking to the side so that it misses striking him. Where his hand holds the sword-spine it burns, freezes, melts, crushes, quakes, shocks and tears. Turning he faces Jace. "Sneak attacks now? Starting to fight like me."
The stone shard that were launched earlier from his Black Rock Skewer each embedded accross the bar and ceiling after having missed jace dislodge themselves and strike now at Ace. "As I told your father. Lot were drawn already take your armor and keep out."
Glass shatters as the heavy sniper bullet breaks through one of the large panel windows of the bar. The subsonic projectile is targeted at Ace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ocelot leavers the bolt on his rifle expelling the empty shell as another is fed into the chamber. He adjust his aim from his perch in the grassy field 10 miles off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laser fire tears through what is revealed to be another Lee android-decoy. "You know Lee, these are neat weapons you decided to lend me." One of the two remaining Lee's clicks his tongue and the Bit's disengage flying away from Zack and being to orbit around the two Lee's. "Still a cocky shit arn't ya Zack." Zack drops his shield then reaches down as if drawing a blade from an invisible sheath a sword of crackling void energy forms in his hand. "En-garde?" "Allez" Both lee's heft their Diamonds beam bayonets igniting from under their barrels.

The bullet passed over where Ace had been standing before he was pushed over, straight through where his heart should have been. It flew forward and shattered the drink Julia had just poured.
"Mother fucker! Really!?"
She got up and wiped herself down before turning toward the window, seeing the hole she growled low.
"CHANG! Do I Kill Ocelot!?" It was the only man she could think of to take that kind of shot. (thinking he aimed at her glass to piss her off)
~~~
Ace stood as the armor was blown backwards until the blade beams dissipated, in a flash there were two flanking him and Wind racing the 15 mile arc to hopefully not be seen by the shooting assailant.
~~
Daemon looked at the mess for a moment then turned and looked at the chaos, he had an odd taste in his mouth for ham and maple syrup, when the bits flew back to lee Daemon snatched one out of the air and started to prod it.
~
A figure draped in tattered red with long black hair sat on the room, he lit a cigarette listening to the hell inside the building. He pulled out a thermos and took a hit from it before looking out at Ocelot and waving, knowing the man could shoot him but having the speed to dodge it if he tried.
