OOC: I don't have stats for Ryan now... I'll get right on it. But the other two have stats in my profile.

IC: Simon readied his staff, striking out against the barrier. Orpheous also prepared his staff as it quickly lashed against the shield. Who did they think they were trying to hide? It appears that they have no courage. These were most likely the thoughts that ran through their head as they muttered under their breath. Ryan to was preparing a strategy as he looked over the shield as to study it.

Arrika skidded to the ground, her blade scraping uselessly against the barrier. She swore and drew back to strike again, but changed her mind and raised her arm to cast her second fire spell, feeling the warmth powered by her fury at her fingertips.

Seth swore upon seeing Arrika's attack have no effect. His eyes widened in surprise as she attempted to cast magic for the second time, and he wondered if even that would do any good. "Theives are too weak," he muttered. "Sometimes I wonder why we bother at all."

"Aren't you a little grumpy today?" A silver haired woman with sharp eyes materialized out of the air next to the thief with a bright flash of light. She dressed in blue and silver robes and knelt beside him.

"Mirielle!" Seth said, astonished. "What are you doing here?"

"Observing. Don't you dare lose hope, Seth," she threatened him.

"So, in other words, you're just going to watch but and not help at all."

"I don't enjoy getting in the middle of someone else's fight. But yes. This will be interesting, don't you think?" Mirielle said, her eyes flashing coyly.

Seth turned back to watch Arrika and Kasei, ignoring the fact that the witch-mage was teasing him for his inability to have a premonition of the outcome of this fight. He was truly worried about the future for once. "If her next attack has no damage, then nothing she does will help. What a mess..." He muttered.

Sovelis never gets into much trouble at all, He thought with a smile
So this must be some serious business.
Well I can't let him die lets see if my magic can help.

He quickly ran to the group while preparing a fire attack.

"It really is remarkable, all we focused on were the Ganon supporters of course we knew there were more groups scattered around Hyrule but I never expected them to be this powerful"
The mysterious man observed the battle closely upon the rooftops.
We truly were fools. He turned around to his companion awaiting a response.

Salimos nodded
Yes, Garuda has become weak of the greed and malice because of our new ruler. his majesty... replied the man.
But yet I need to follow him for now, please let us pick the right time for your revenge.

Edegar laughed loudly.
It is no revenge it is mere justice! he yelled smashing a roof tile.

"well here we go!" Azador jumped up with a high-speed unleashing scorching fire ball
to the immense barrier. The energy of the spell pushed him down on the ground, although he nearly broke his both feet he came down safely.

The staffs that Orpheous and Simon smashed up against the red shield bounced off, as it they had struck an immobile wall or a tree. The Sempari along the side that the two had attacked smiled from beneath their dark hoods, as if taunting the adventurers on the other side of the great red barrier. As the flames of Arrika's spell surged forward, the shield glowed in response to her magical attack. The fire spell hit the glowing protection, and burst upon impact. Even after this, the shield seemed unharmed and still quiet powerful.

Brother! Look at these people's weak, foolish attempts at reaching us! I don't see why you haven't tried to destroy that weak-minded king and his prissy daughter. BAH! Just the thought of anyone like that makes me want to kill! Mathais shouted at his brother as he attacked Sovelis again, swinging his gilded staff down at the Tempest.(20+4 VS. 15+1) The staff crashed into Sovelis's right shoulder, knocking him off his feet and a few feet back.

Just as Sovelis is struck, Azador's fire spell burned outside the shield, draining a small amount of its massive energy source. "Weak? My friends are not weak! They are strong enough to defeat you all, Mathais." he said, staggering to his feet from the crushing blow to his real shoulder. Dammit...that hurt more than it should have! How did he get so much stronger than before? Sovelis thought, pointing his staff at his evil, maniacal twin. "You wouldn't understand. NOW DIE!" he shouted as he ran at Mathais, and brought his own wooden staff sideways at him.(14+1 VS. 15+4) Mathais nimbly dodges the attack, stepping back as he laughed loudly at his brother.

"Aw, crud," Seth said after seeing Sovelis take damage. Mirielle just looked on, nodding as Arrika attacked.

"Almost halfway there. You can at least feel that, of course?"

"Stop it. It's not working," Seth said, gritting his teeth and ignoring her comments. He couldn't help but smile wryly, though, as Arrika brought her hand back after casting the spell, the momentary glow of the shield illuminating red in her dark eyes. He watched as she backflipped and charge forward again, the wind whipping at her black hair as she brought her arm up to stab the seemingly impenetrable barrier.

"She put a lot of force in that one," Mirielle said absentmindedly. "Probably won't have any effect again."

"Shut up! You're just what Rhyss says; a grey haired pain in the ass that-" At this the witch wrapped her hand roughly around the thief's throat, her long nails digging into his skin. A blue light that seemed to burn the Hylian's skin emitted from the palm of her hand. He froze and glared at her, daring her to really hurt him.

"Rude little brat! Do you really want to finish that sentence?" Her eyes had taken on a fiercer appearance, her own icy glare forcing him to avert her face entirely. "But I'm sure Rhyss and I will have a little chat about what he's been hammering into your impressionable little minds. And he'll probably be pleased to know who brought up the matter in the first place," Mirielle said, her words dripping with false sweetness.

Seth just gulped until she let go, inching away from her and finally sprinting to hide behind another stack of crates outside a Goron's shop.

"Face it brother. I am superior to you in almost every way. I have both my arms, you have one. You have a demon. I have none. You will be the first to behold my new-found power!!!" The Twin of the Tempest yelled as his staff dissolved into thin air. In his hand, he summoned another ball of black flames, exactly like the one he had previously. Except that this time, Mathais now had the intention of using it on someone: And his target was right before him. [Shadow Flames -8SPL]

With an enthusiastic grin, he threw this ball of darkened fire at Sovelis, intending on killing his brother here and now. [Roll:17+SPI:3=Half-Damage] Sovelis raised his arms up in the nick of time, and managed to deflect some of the shadowy fire that burned at him and weakened him to the point of collapse. "So...you are trying to kill me here...then I guess your not fooling around any more, brother. Allow me to do...this!" With a flourish of his hands, Sovelis pulled a scroll out of his burnt sleeve and opened it, running his bloodied finger across it. The scroll rolled closed and ignited, then surrounded Sovelis with a healing light that restored him partially. [Life Lvl1 -8 SPL]

"I carry a scroll around like that, so I can quick-cast a healing spell if I can't speak the incantation, or need the speedy recovery. Do you like?" the Tempest said, Standing on his feet again and facing his brother once again. C'mon...hurry up and break the barrier...I can't hold out very long!

Kamiko, Josh, and Jeromy after a while reached the castle courtyard to see a major fight going on and thought about joining and the regrets of joining.

"We should help them" Kamiko stated

"Not our fight." Jeromy said

"Hey, that guy with the azure hair I think I remember him. We should even though one of us might fall" Josh put in.

"Atleast he's with me!" Kamiko said aloud as she charged for the barrier sword in hand tip pointed towards it and stabed it as soon as she was right at it

"Hey, What's that supposed to mean?!" Josh asked as he threw his fins like boomerangs towards the barrier.(like Zora Link in Majoras Mask.

"Fine! I'll join!" Jeromy said clearly annoyed as he cast a fire spell

Arrika had a feeling she was too weak for her dagger to cause any damage, and was probably right.

"Arrika! Boomerang!" Seth hissed.

"You think a boomerang'sgonna do anything?!" Lack of a better idea caused her to reach for her new boomerang, given to her by Kobas a few days after he'd returned. This boomerang was an odd one, though, and as she drew her arm back and let it loose on the barrier, a small gust of wind followed it...

"Elermental Burst!"

The said spell of Earth rocketed out of the sky towards the magical barrier, followed by the massive form of Burlo as he crashed into the ground feet away from the action. He had obviously used his favorite method of interest, jumping from a far distance to create an impact--Both literally and figuratively. "Don' worry, Stoveless!" He shouted towards his acquaintance inside the magical shield--This wasn't the first time he had rescued the Tempest. However, something puzzled him--He realized something peculiar--There were two Sovelis'. "What de..." He mumbled, then shrugged--Either way, the barrier had to be destroyed if anything was to be done. He just wished he could tell who was winning.

From across the courtyard came the charging form of the mercenary Sabertache, who had undoubtedly been alerted by Burlo and taken action, although his lack of magical prowess made his entrance much longer in coming. He drew the saber in his right hand and held it out behind him, his eyes tinted with brown--Not because it was the color of power or anger; He just had brown eyes. When he reached the barrier, he brought the blade around in a charging spin attack, hoping to crush the barrier by sheer momentum alone.

OOC: This might help Sovelis a bit...

OoC: uhm..L1NK4NDZ3LD4 or Master Link or whoever...I cannot allow all of those attacks. 1) Only your new main character has any stats. 2) uhm....yea...only one reason.

IC:
The sword thrust from one of the newcomers was a unexpected assault to the already taxed barrier, and the shield bent in slightly where Kamiko had stabbed at it with her wooden blade. [8 DMG] While the attacks of her companions seemed not to even touch the glowing, pulsating shield of red energy that they had been aiming at, and so intent upon destroying.

On the other hand, the boomerang that Arrika had thrown seemed to be able to connect with the barrier with much ease, and the curved piece of wood spun like a small whirlwind, leaving a blur in the vision of anyone who looked at the speeding projectile. The wooden weapon struck the Sempari's shield and hit with enough force to crack the shield in that spot...slightly... [10 DMG/ not sure how to caculate ranged damage]

The powerful spell that had been cast at the shield hit with a deafening noise, almost as if a small landslide had been thrown at the shield. Even though Burlo was known as a drunken bum, he seemed very adept at the spells he knew and practiced. This time, the barrier rippled at the point of attack and caused the spell to shudder under the pressure of the Earth-based attack. [18 DMG -6 SPL] As Burlo's spell waylaid into the side of the red barrier, another attack hit the weakened shield. The Tantari Mercenary had rather good timing it seemed, and his strike was just as accurate as the rest of the groups attacks that had bombarded the powerful spell that separated them all from Sovelis and the Sempari. [10 DMG]

"Mathais! This is absurd! These people shouldn't be able to do this! This barrier is one of the strongest kinds that I can conjure...and they have almost broken it!!!" Ishmael shouted, looking over his shoulder at the Sempari leader. " It doesn't matter! All that matters is the plan! When they get through the Barrier, I want you all to leave me and our new toy behind to deal with these simpletons!" the twin said, not taking his eyes off of his brother. Suddenly he lunged forward, a gilded sword gripped tight in his left hand, a hand that was so unlike the one his brother had instead of flesh and blood. The Sempari thrust his sword forward[11+4 Vs 15+1 (Roll+AGL vs DEF+AGL)], aiming at Sovelis' chest to end this as quickly as possible. The Tempest Spun to the left and narrowly missed being impaled on the Gilded Sword that his brother wielded. "Mathais...your not going to be able to hit me if that is the best you can do. I can see your sword a mile away, as if time has stopped." Sovelis said, stepping back slightly and bringing his staff up, aiming at the face that looked like his own.[15+1 Vs 15+1] Sword meet staff as the brothers faced each other, neither one backing down an inch as the battle raged closer to its climactic end.

"Good! Good! I expected no less from you Brother!" Mathias shouted, leaping away from Sovelis and stopping next to the hooded Swordsman. But lets add a little spice to the mix. Sovelis...I'd like to introduce my newest minion....Shadow Link..." Those words rang though the air inside the barrier like the sound of death itself. The man pulled back his hood, and showed Sovelis that his brother was not lying. The Legendary Hero's own Shadow was here...and he meant Business.

As Hurin ambled towards the courtyard he saw a curious red glow emanating from it's center. Curious he made his way closer to the crimson orb, leap frogging from one empty barrel to the next. His young eyes grew wide as he realized what was really going on. Loud crashes and intense heat reached his face while the furious battle played out in front of him. Peering beyond the barrier, his hand shot up to his mouth with the sharp intake of air. Sovelis! he whispered to himself at the recognition of his robot armed friend.

It appeared that Sovelis was under attack, and in fact was injured, but he knew he was too small to get involved. As the others warriors both strange and familiar alike pummeled the shield, Hurin thought frantically for some way he could help.

His head spinning from the stress of the situation, one clear thought rang out. Lyos, I need to get Lyos! But would he have the time to go all the way back to the Hostel to get him before his friend perished?

Taking out two solid wooden mallets he tapped on the empty barrel sitting next to him. With a faint *bonk* he confirmed that it was in fact hollow and pried off its stubborn lid. He began to strike the barrel with both mallets, alternating in a steady rhythm that was slowly accelerating. It was a trick his brother had taught him, if he could only find the resonate frequency...

Suddenly, a loud WHOMPH sprang forth from the barrel's vacant lips. Smiling to himself, he renewed the discovered tempo, but this time in earnest, each strike using more of his little arms' strength than the last. As the cascading harmonics undulated forth, the sound quickly filled the surrounding courtyard with such sustenance he knew would easily carry for many miles.

Please, Lyos. Hurry!

OoC - Aight, I'll take them out of battle.

IC - "Back down! I have a fealing your attacks won't hit!" Kamiko shouted at her commrads as she stabed the barrier again in the same place as before.

"Kamiko,are you sure?" Jeromy asked abit quizzicly.

"Her instincts are almost never wrong" Josh answered for the sheikah.
