Aiden's eyes widened, assassins. That made her beyond worried, she was not a fighter. Besides, she wasn't very strong, quick and agile maybe, but strong no. Nervous she bit her lower lip, but Kuro was her friend and if he needed help with these assissins she'd stay. Goosebumps were popping up on her soft and lightly tanned skin, and not just from the cold. Her hand went to her dagger, the one at her hip. It was her only weapon, but she could use it. "Well, maybe they got the wrong day or location or.. changed their minds?"

"Nothing in particularly, I was simply planning to have a simple drink in a public house actually. After my hard labor at Rauru."
"Which hard labor?...You've been sitting on chair the whole day!" The mysterious voice echoed through his mind.
The man did not mind his companion, occasionally making a fuss out of nothing.
“and I was going to continue my search…ah...yes...Could I ask you something?
You see I am looking for a good friend of my, and he's said to be staying here in Hyrule, his name is Azador Greenfield.
He’s about 25 years old.
He has short brown hair.
Blue eyes and ussually has this icy stern look, as he spents most of his time thinking.
He's slim and a bit on the short side.
He usually wears a purple cape under is leather armor.
And is magician just like me....except the fact that he does not have a fine taste of clothing like myself… Have any of you seen anyone that matches such a well made description?"

OOC: Note: Edward is a bit unique character I hope you don't mind his attitude...

"Azador? Never heard of him," Kuro said. "What about you two?" he asked, turning around to Kon and Kurita.

"Nope," they replied at the same time.

"I don't think they would forget about a chance to kill Kuro and Kurita," Kon explained to Aiden. "For some reason those two and Hiruma are wanted dead by the assassin's boss."

"And the day and location is definitely right. One of their messengers told us to be here at this time. I don't know why they're late though..." Kurita said, his voice trailing off as he wondered why they were late.

Aiden hadn't heard of the man in question either, maybe he wasn't all that well known? Then again she was still new, although she was meeting tons of people. With a heavey sigh her eyes went back to Kon, a determined glint. "Maybe they're plotting still. Wait- where is Hiruma? If he's a target shouldn't he not be left alone?" Her tone went from soft but serious and calm, to more of a panic.

To lose your parents is one thing, but to lose your brother as well? That was too much for anyone person to have to deal with. The muscles in her calves were taunt as if she would run all the way to Hiruma and bring him back herself. Her whole body was quivering from the cold, but she barely noticed.

"I don't think you need to worry about Hiruma," Kurita answered with a grin. "He's not the primary target. Besides, he always travels in the company of warriors."

"And them plotting isn't likely. From what I hear they're more headstrong than Lance is. They'd rather plan strategy as the battle ensues for the most part. The best way to explain their tardiness is just to make us miserable," Kon explained.

"A pity that is...Hmm Azador is such a tomboy, finding him doesn't seem like an easy task, he could be anywhere right now. His adventurous nature has not died even after all these years...but I believe mine is slowly fading away." The shine in Edward's eyes disappeared for a brief moment, just like his mind was completely somewhere else for such an short time.
"At any rate...It seems I'm not well informed...what exactly is your business?
And who are all those people you are talking about?
If you are planning on assassinating anyone do not think I will let you!"
His personality suddenly changed, sounding far more serious than just a few seconds before.

"Well, we're actually here to meet a few people," Kuro explained. "We'll most likely have to fight them though." Kuro hoped they wouldn't fight. These people were supposed to be able to kill in under a minute, but Kuro didn't believe that. Or did he? He wasn't sure what to think about these people he was about to meet. He didn't even know their names.

The wizard simnply nodded after hearing Kuro's explaination.
"He...you sound just like Kaluuk. "The man whispered to himself but his voice suddenly rose as he asked another set of questions.
"Why would you ever go intentionally meeting people that you are certain to have a brawl with? Or is this some personal conflict? If that's the case I would better not get in involved...as an outsider to the matter."

Aiden frowned, something hardly seen on her face. It made her look small, older, and scared. The frown turned into a thin line, neither a smile nor a frown. Dripping wet she looked her age for once, normally people assumed she was younger, but that was normally because she was so chipper and excitable like someone younger. With a sigh, something else she rarely did, she put her hair up. A high pony tail, curls still wet, but now out of her face. A lone spiral framed one side of her face.

She dropped her shoes and slid them on, then began to remove her shirt. For an instant the group would see her slender and taunt stomach, the little divit that was her belly button, her ribs, a bit of her bra, and an odd birthmark or scar, maybe mud, it was hard to tell in the rain, but with a squeek, she pulled down the shirt she had under the hooded one. Throwing the hooded shirt into the muck she straightened out the tank like top she wore. Black in color the top was tight fitting, and clung to her every movement, it was short and covered her ribs but not further, her stomach was exposed, and the back was made of thick strappy like laces. The sleeves were two more thick straps, that slid off her shoulders, the only loose part of the shirt.

Next she shimmied out of the capris revealing short shorts underneathe. They, like the skirt, just covered her bum. Leaving the capris and shirt in the mud she might Kon's gaze with a determind look, "Let's kick butt." In this outfit she was more comfortable, and able to move faster and be more flexible, although she was colder.

OOC: Okay, so technically it's a week from last week when I said we would begin the fight in the next week (in other words, we're gonna start the fight). I've changed my mind on the whole RP instead of stat battle thing because RP battles can drag out way too long and get pretty one sided. So I'm gonna need you guys to PM me with your stats and abilities so we can actually get this going.

IC: Kon watched as Aiden changed into her battle clothing and smiled at her comment. "Yeah," he said. "Let's win this."

At that moment, as if on cue, three figures appeared in front of the group. The one in the middle carried a spear with him and had black armor that covered most of his tan, muscular body. His hand and head were all that were shown. On one of his fingers was a ring with a red diamond in it. His hair was blue, strait, and covered his eyes. He had an evil smile on his face that made it seem like he was plotting something sinister. He was pretty obviously the leader since he was at the head of the group.

To his right was a female. Her brown hair reached down most of her back and her bangs were brushed aside revealing her bright olive eyes. Her left hand was on her hip and her right hand held a dagger. On one of her fingers was a ring with a blue diamond in it. She had a sinister smile on her face as well, but not as sinister as the leader.

To the leader's right was a man in a black robe that hid his features. There was something about him that just felt weird to Kuro. It might be the glowing blue orbs that were his eyes, or it may have been what he said. "Heh heh. So, you're the ones we have to kill, this should be fun." His voice was sinister. The tone contained nothing pleasant, just killing intent.

"I guess you're wondering our names," the man in the middle said. His voice was deep, and didn't sound strange at all. "I'm Shuhan, the leader of this fine group."

"I'm Cassandra," the girl said. Her voice had some killing intent, but not enough to scare anyone.

"You can call me X," the last one said. "You don't need to know my real name yet. Maybe before you die you'll hear it."

Kuro bit his lip and drew his sword. "Some help would be great Edward," he said. "Just don't expect anything out of it."

Kon and Kurita drew their weapon's as well, ready for the fight.

"Owh..what have I goten myself into now. Well at least I have the change to exercise a little!" Edward said to himself, he suddenly stepped forward before the group of 'villains'.
"Fear me Mortal souls that clutch themselves to their empty existence...you shall suffer no more of such a pitiful lifestyle! I will cleanse you all!" Edward said, pointing his finger at the group before him. As rage seemed to shine within his eyes.
"Sartuur lend me strength! I evoke the sacred rite that opens the gate to Muspelheim, unleash thy sealed misery upon these sinner souls!"
His hands caught fire suddenly, the flames did not react on the though weather condition nor did they seem to harm it's user.
"Now taste my flame! FIRE!!!"
Edward unleashed a simply fire ball at the leader of the group, Shuhan.

OOC: Edward's status are in my signature so are my abilities.

Aiden's muscles tensed as the group appeared, she was by nature not a fighter. Still, she had skill, a gift from the gods. With a grim smile she watched the group, her bright eyes studying their everymovement. Her knees were bent in a half crouched stance, her dagger out. She held her weapon lightly letting the muscles in her arm relax, so when she striked the muscles would tighten and send her arm out with more speed and strength. The way she held it was not typical for daggers, for she weilded it like a single tonfa. This increased her speed and accuracy.

Squaring off she faced the woman with no fear in her gaze. Her free hand was up by her face, palm facing Cassandra to guard more of her face, but her arm was covering her chest and neck. Her right and armed hand was out in front of her the point of the blade staring Cassandra down. On the balls of her feet and still crouched she was agile and ready to dodge, for she would not strike first.

Shuhan raised his arms instinctively as the fire spell shot toward him. Despite his attempts, he is unable to resist the attack(14 + 4 [roll + SPI]) that does a rather hefty 20 damage and is left with burns on his arms. He charges toward Edward in an attempt to get vengeance and thrusts his spear at him. The attack barely hits(14 + 6 - 1 [roll + AGI + penalty]), doing a massive 21 DMG.

Cassandra's arms raise in the air, and she chants a short phrase. Four shards of ice in the shape of four crystals. her arms hung down as she waited for the time when she could actually use the crystals.

OOC:Just in case you didn't heed my advise and refused to check my profile, you may want to know this:

Crystal Ice Shards-When used, 4 crystals appear that can attack next turn or be used again instead creating 4 new ones. 2 DMG each. Consumes 5 SPL when used. Element: Water.

IC:X rushes toward Kuro with his staff in hand. He raises it in the air and brings it down on Kuro's head. The attack succeeds (10 + 4 [roll + AGI)]dealing 13 DMG. Kuro is knocked down, but quickly stands back up and thrusts his sword into X. The attack barely succeeds (17 + 2 [roll + AGI]) dealing 8 DMG.

Kurita charges at X, thrusting his sword into him as well. The attack is a success (16 + 5 [roll + AGI]) as the blade hit's X dealing 11 DMG.

Kon rushes toward X as well. He thrusts his dagger into X's chest, (12 + 6 [roll + AGI]) but misses.

"ARGHH...You are surprisingly strong... defiling soul!" Edward uttered in pain, he had felt the spear cutting through his own flesh...but the real thing that bothered him was that his fine suit was now even more ruined. His eyes were now filled with rage and with his own blood on his fingers he again pointed a finger at his opponent. "You think high of yourself now you've tainted even my beauty with your brashness. But you must truly jest if you think a simple minded brigand such as you will ever be able to defeat a rich and wealthy soul like mine!" A devilish smile appeared on his face.
"I call forth the power that lays hidden within my glorious bloodline, by my never ending strife for knowledge I made myself worthy of the title of Hylian, know let my pray be heard by the luminous!Favor of the goddesses!
In a flash body tried to heal itself of the wounds.

Aiden's eyes were glued to the shards, her head throbbing as she tried to recall their usefullness. Her ears were listening to the other's battles, she hoped they would fair better than herself, for while she was skilled she was not as trained as the others. Staying readied she smiled a taunting smile at Cassandra, but she was still looking at her body not her face. The most a face could do was chant a spell, which normally caused something to happen to the body, like the ice shards. Any change or movement she would notice.

Swallowing she continued to wait, staying light on her toes, preparing to duck, jump, or roll, from those shards. Her right arm was also ready to lunge out and block an attack even attack back if the oppurtunity was given.
