((I don't really mind some combat scenes but it's not really my specialty as far as writing goes. I'm not entirely certain that something as violent as loss of limb is allowed in the forums, anyway. ))

Keeping his hood up, Malik trailed after the strange woman that he hadn't bothered to ask the name of. As soon as the turmoil had died down, he would be leaving anyway. The Order didn't take kindly to any of their inner fold not returning and he had no intentions of getting cut down himself.

"I don't see what the drama is all about," he remarked as they entered the seedy brothel. Malik barely gave the women a glance, his eyes only lingering slightly longer on the half-naked men. It was familiar enough of a setting to leave him smiling, though he never did relax all the way. And likely, he never would.

"This kind of place suits me well. I may even spend some gold while I'm here. As long as you don't ask me questions, I won't ask you any either." After all, there were likely all sorts of illegal dealings happening this very second. Not that he could care less.

As a guard that was secretly following the group enters the alley, he steps up to the door about to knock before being impaled through the chests from something above, his final moments being painful and him not even able to call out for help as on of his lungs had been pierced in a low gravely voice i say "No one can hear you your screams are silent and your pain is eternal" i said as i withdrew my arm from his chest cavity with a long blade where my hand should be, as i chuckled to myself only t be stopped by a woman's scream breaking through the silence as she screamed about the moster killing a guard as she ran bringing more guards to the front of the ally way

(Sure )

In the alleyway a skeleton is found and doesn't seem suspicious. Except for the occasional white dots that appear.

((sorry though if it isn't enough))

A shout sounded from outside, leaving Malik freezing, turning back to the alley they just exited. "Something happened." He stepped over to the door when an even louder wail broke the silence that had fallen. Malik slammed a fist into the wall. "Damnit! It's going to draw attention this way if that keeps up. There's no way we were followed so why are guards getting killed now?"

Gritting his teeth, he considered investigating. It really wasn't his style to put the greater good or someone else's safety first. He should just hole up or find another exit, but a tiny bit of curiosity had him propping open the door, curious to see what he would find.

As i finish of half of the guards there the others ran into the bar shouting at everyone "To barricade the doors and hide!". I laugh to myself as they try to run thinking they have a chance, as i start towards the door i step on a bone snapping it, thinking it was from a dead rat. As i neared the door hearing it was dead silent and the as the my dead metal face although not movable, seemed to be smiling with vicious intent as i slammed my hand into the door holding back. Knowing i could break it down but wanted to toy and stress out the meat bag's inside as i heard a shriek, i then stabbed the door multiple times with my bladed arm laughing as the screams got high and louder.

Drans assembles herself, "Sir I am going to have to tell you to stop the racket, for if not, I'll have to snap your mechanical spine." Drans notices her arm bone is broken, "I'll have to get a new one then."

As the door is almost about to break from the repeated stabbing i say in a low gravely voice but with humorous tone "Alright meat bags i'm done playing" as i kick down the door and the barricade. With the guards awaiting this event with their swords swinging at me as i catch two and snap them, but 3 still hit me "oh ho ho I was going to make your deaths quick but now your gonna get slow and painful" i said before dashing straight ahead behind the two guards with broken sword, and i quickly slice off their heads with my bladed hand, then grabbing a broken sword sending it into the leg of one of the others who hit me, then kicking it and slicing off most of his leg with barely a inch of tissue holding it together as i stab my hand in and out of his stomach the leaping onto the next and popping his eyes out, then ripping his throat out before he could scream as i then rip off the next guards arm and stab him in the chest with the broken bone multiple times.

"stop using parts of me as a weapon!" Drans is furious now, summoning a singular blue bone through his entire body, "if you move then you'll get hurt, now why are you killing the others?" Drans also puts a blue bone in the other guards and people nearby.

As i rip the dead guards bone out of his body i looked round at the carnage i created the dead guards body parts all over the floor i looked at the frightened people faces, them knowing that they couldn't do anything but pray i spare them "Come ooon Screeam Bring me more guards to kill hehehehahaaha" i said as i skeleton put bones in the dead guards for some reason, and muttering about using them as a weapon when the only bone related weapon i used was the guards arm bone "shut it bone bag" i said as little black balls of smoke shoot out of me and envelope the skeleton clouding it then chains shot out of the ground chainign it into the ground dragging it deeper into the dirt.

I then jump into the crowd blades out of my hands, beginning a slaughter among'st them as i sliced and butchered the villagers ripping out their spines and slicing their throats as blood sprayed the tavern, as bodies upon bodies littered the ground as the screams began to thin out and the thuds began to cease and the blood to start dripping violently only leaving a few amount of people scattered around hiding for their lives, thenn noticing a group of people not hiding one of them dressed like a knight. I laugh as i send out my blades and began to start moving towards the group.

Malik had to pull his head inside quick as guards flooded the alley, some facing off against some monstrous thing while the rest shoved themselves into various doors along the path as if to keep the various occupants inside. About five of them rushed into the brothel, leaving Malik stepping hurriedly back.

"What the hell is that thing?" he hissed as the screaming intensified from outside.

A guard shook his head. "We don't know. That thing just started killing people. And on the day the mayor was assassinated too!"

They all jumped back as the monster's arms started to slice their way through the door but there wasn't even time to run at this point. It was chaos inside as the enemy annihilated the guards, the crooks and wares of the brothel running about in a state of panic. At one point, one of the young male prostitutes cried out from the table next to him as a blade pierced through his chest. The man fell forward, landing in Malik's arms. This wasn't...this was too cruel even to a killer.

He whispered a short prayer, leaving orbs of white light ghosting over the other's wound before Malik set him down.

"Monster! Do you have no inhibition at all? No one here is good or clean but I have no fondness of senseless massacre that's going to bring attention to me. If you're not going to stop, then i will make you."

Flicking his wrists, Malik shot his blades into his hands and stabbed both into the monster's lower leg before jumping away again. "How about you go back to where you came from?!"

the heck why can't I see or move? It isn't the first time I've been stuck in the ground before and I'll come out and wait again... though I've got to stop the demon... thing. But I need to trap them, how though... Drans teleports out of the ground and into an alleyway, and walked into the street, no one seemed to care at the moment that she was there, let's hope I can find him soon.

the smoke now appearing angry that the skeleton has left it, makes a high pitched screech sound before growing bigger now with the rusty chains breaking out with cracks of super heated metal start latching out and on to things now covering the doorway leaving no entrance .The chains then continue spreading and start snaking along the alleyway walls enveloping the alleyway seeming to search for drans.

as Malik stabbed his blades into my leg... somewhat they only go in around and inch-inch and a half and greatly dull and bend the blade tips, Malik then trying to pull them out but failing i grab him by the throat and lift him up. blood reddish yellow-Orange eyes seemingly look into Maliks without pupils i say with a humorous tone "What are you getting at peasant? stabbing a metal robot with knives!?" i said before letting out a rumbling laughter, no more like a demonic giggle erupts from my head before slamming Malik into the bar.

Crap, his magic is trying to follow me... Drans' sighs, "I'll have to find a way to lose them... maybe if I find them again, I'll have a blaster ready, hopefully." Drans starts to prepare a blaster, I'm not native to this timeline so I'll have to be careful. Drans activates her illusion in order to look like a human.

Malik gasped as the creature grabbed him around the throat and tossed him down onto one of the tables. It split from the force of the throw, leaving him rolling away with a grunt of pain. This was not good. He lost his weapons in the attack and it didn't even seem like it did much of anything. Even the front door was blocked with some kind of chains. This was, without a doubt, a losing battle. He knew better than to stay and die himself so he staggered to his feet and took off for the back rooms. This was a brothel after all and it had many nooks and crannies to hide oneself in and most certainly another exit.

Fear fueled his run so even if his arm felt bent wrong and his hip twinged with each step, he managed to tear himself away from the fray and started opening up doors. Ah, there! With a last lunge, he threw himself out onto a street busy with chaos and let himself disappear. It was the one thing he was good at and if that monster was good for one thing, it was winning him an escape. Now, he just needed to return to The Order and forget that all of this even happened.
