[atrb=background,http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/696/hiccupmiddle.png] At first, Hiccup flinched at the touch of someone's hand on his shoulder. Only when his emerald eyes flicked to the side did he relax a little. But only a little. Hiccup's breathing hadn't gotten any less audible. He swallowed, trying to keep himself from crying any more than he had before when he was being buffeted by horrible memories, before answering and pointing one shaky finger in Izaya's direction. "Th-that's... that's him." Hiccup said at last. Gods... he felt awful. He was beginning to feel incredibly light-headed. The bleeding from his leg hadn't stopped any, and he wasn't thinking clearly enough to try and use his vest as a makeshift bandage again. He almost felt like he was going to vomit from the amount of pain he was going through. It didn't help that the blood that had come from his mouth when he was being stomped on hadn't gone away. He was too busy taking on the pain in a most unViking-like fashion to even care about wiping it away. ---- Song: I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik Images and Codes belong to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[Xia]

Xia looked at Izaya and rolled her eyes, a cocky demon at that. Great, this was going to be annoying. When he mentioned the date and her not being his type, the psychic laughed. "I'm sorry but I don't date evil incarnates. Not to mention, you're not that cute."

Turning her attention back to Hiccup she nodded, and reached down, tearing part of her shirt. She took the cloth and tied it around his leg a little higher than were the limb was missing. It would help stop the bleeding. "Hang on, you're going to be alright."
---
Ikuto shivered slightly and braced himself against the wind. What he wasn't expecting was the punch. Allowing her to get the hit, he let his face roll with it to minimize the damage. This fairy was pissing him off. As she made contact, he grabbed her wrist before she could pull it back. "This is a war girl," he said, "Get use to fighting dirty." Using her momentum he attempted to throw her into the trees behind them."

[Izaya]

Izaya cocked his eyebrows a bit at the girl. Not many demon hunters were like that, they normally found him incredible to look at and in fact so handsome that they could just stare at him. "You might as well not even try, that kid's not going to make it, or at least his leg isn't anyways." he said looking at his fingers. "That is if the blood from that attack doesn't travel to his whole immune system."

He didn't particicular care what happened to the boy, it was just something that he loved to do. Torture and throw them into chaotic situations, this was just the reaction he had wanted.

---
Dawn was very happy that her hit had worked, however being called down on, being belittled by a demon was something that really pissed her off. Her back hit the tree, sending her falling to the ground. "Don't...treat me like a five year old." she said angrily as she pushed herself upwards. "I am not a child!" With that, she flew towards the demon again. this time with faster speed, ready to send a kick into his chest.

[atrb=background,http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/696/hiccupmiddle.png] "B-Blood?" For that instant and that instant only, Hiccup was able to forget that he was in so much pain. He still lay where he did on the ground, but there was an almost terrified sort of look in his eyes. What had this guy done to him beyond making him endure so much physical and emotional pain? He was almost afraid to ask. His gaze darted from is leg, which made him shudder visibly and caused him to turn a bit paler, and then back to Izaya. "Wha... what blood?" Hiccup asked. Now that he thought about it, he wasn't feeling all that great anymore. Gods... what did he do to me? How the hell am I going to get out of this alive? It was a very terrifying moment for Hiccup. He had always thought it possible that he would die. The thought never occurred to him, however, that it would be at the hands of a demonic boy not much older than him. ---- Song: I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik Images and Codes belong to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[Xia]

"Shit," Xia said under her breath. She looked down at Hiccup and then back to Izaya, "That's low demon." She had to get the kid help from an angel, that was the only thing she could think of. The problem was she didn't really know if she could contact any. She'd seen Proteus earlier, so she shot a call for help off to him. Calm down, you're going to be alright, Xia told Hiccup in his mind, Don't worry. "What's your name demon?" she asked gripping her dagger.
---
Ikuto grabbed her leg and moved out of the way before swiping at her with his claw and letting go, "Maybe if you weren't acting like one I wouldn't." He smirked at her and jumped away.

[Izaya]

Izaya chuckled a little before turning to Hiccup. "I am a demon of mischief kid, i have all kinds of tricks. One of them being, that move that stabbed your leg. You see if i wanted to, i could have made all these shadows out of my own blood, but i didn't." he gave Hiccup a joking smile. "Cuz what can i say, i am just a nice guy."

Placing his hands in his jacket, before contunining. "Best way to destory an opponent is to throw them into a situation like the one you are in just to see your reaction. My blood is now in your body. I would hope that you know that demon blood is posionous, so its safe to say if you can't find something to heal you after this battle then its bye bye."

[Hiccup]

[atrb=background,http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/696/hiccupmiddle.png] Rather than actually listening to Xia, however, Hiccup's brain was more focused on what Izaya had said. Demon blood. In his body. Emerald eyes grew wider still and, as the pain rushed back to Hiccup, he began to freak out. It didn't help his breathing at all. Oh gods. OH GODS. That's it. You're dead, Hiccup. DEAD. There's no way you're going to get back to the castle in time. You won't be able to find Rapunzel. You. Are. DEAD. That's it, it's all over. I hope you enjoyed your life, stupid, because now you've gone and thrown it away. Why didn't you listen to me before, Hiccup? WHY? You wouldn't be in this situation if you had actually listened to me. But NO. You just had to get come out here looking for time alone. You just had to pick the very time when a big battle started. Hey, you're on your own kid. Figure this one out for yourself. Once he had finished going over the facts in his mind, namely by having his brain basically chew him out for being an idiot, Hiccup lost it. Freaked out Viking was freaked out. One thing was very certain. He was going to need a miracle to get him out of this situation alive. ---- Song: I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik Images and Codes belong to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[sakura]

Sakura flipped backwards as Astrid tried to bite her, however what caught her off guard was the blonde wolf's other move. The pain errupted from her shoulder. 'No!' Sakura thought through gritted teeth. 'You will not win, i can't lose.' she glared up at the wolf and swung her legs out onto the wolf's underbelly and pushed, hard, hoping to send the wolf into the air.

The blood from her shoulder rushed down onto the ground. That blood, despite it being her own, made her feel more hungry, more ready to fight anything she could. "You really shouldn't have done that wolf." she snickered. "Now you've really made me mad!"

---
Dawn's eyes narrowed angrily. "If you weren't acting like such a jerk and a cocky arrogant cat then i wouldn't be yelling at you." she snapped as his claws made contact with her shoulder. Dang it. That was going to leave a mark. Placing both hands on the ground, the blue haired fairy did what musa had taught her a few days ago.

While it wasn't her best, the ground below her suddenly errupted into a shape. An ice bird, its wings flapped with great might before exploding into tons of raining icicles. It was not her trump card but it was one of her best, and soon she would be able to make any shape she wanted. However, it came with a price. It took out tons of energy.

---
"My name?" Izaya asked turning to Xia. "I am surprised you care. After all since when do demon hunters really care about the victims they kill?" the black haired demon smirked at Xia. "How many innocent humans have you killed? Why would you want to know their names? To put us out of our misery? Ha! Don't make me laugh!"

[atrb=background,http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/281/musamiddle.png] Her eyes narrowed as he dodged her attack. He was fast, that much was evident. Of course it only became worse when he attacked the wolf, biting down on his leg. She winced, that must’ve hurt. But still…something seemed off about him. Though it didn’t seem to matter to him, he went straight back to fighting. Someone’s a determined wolf she thought to herself as she watched him head-butt the dragon. Perfect. While the demon prince was distracted with the wolf she’d make use of her powers. “Stereo Crash!” She yelled. A thick ray of lavender energy shot out of her hands, decorated with various music notes. She wasn’t going to lose this fight; she wasn’t going to allow herself to. The fairy was revenge bent, full of adrenaline, and just plain pissed off at the demons, and right now she was using whatever means to vent her anger out. She knew she’d drive herself crazy if she kept letting Giselle’s death and the war get to her, but she was too busy to notice in the slightest right now. From her spot on the ground she realized she was vulnerable, and should fly, but she’d rather face him head on, anyways. ---- Rather startled by the vampires sudden attack the fairy princess wasted no time flying in the air in an attempt to avoid Odette’s attack. “So Blondie’s got a temper?” she mused to herself. “Well, so do I.” One of the many advantages of being able to summon her fire but not control it was the fact that in times like this, when she didn’t care about controlling it, she could still use it. “Fire Phoenix!” She yelled, keeping with the tradition of calling her attacks as she’d seen her sister do. No more throwing fireballs around willy-nilly. This was a move she’d been practicing for about a week, but it was risky. It took almost all her power, and she didn’t want to exhaust herself before she finished the battle, but the headstrong fairy would cross that bridge when she came to it. Her arms were spread out and her head was held to the sky. Fire began to form behind her, taking the shape of a large bird which she would then try and send towards the vampire. However, as soon as it left her side she felt her energy draining. Slowly but surely, she landed on the ground, head in her hand as she tried to stop the inevitable wave of exhaustion from coming. Please don’t be for nothing… she though desperately. ----- Song: Change by Taylor Swift Images and codes to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[Chase Young]

Chase certainly did not see that coming and was thrown backwards due to the blast. If the fairy wanted to play dirty then he would play dirty. After all, she seemed stronger than the werewolf. It was always in his best intrest to fight someone who could relatively take him on as an equal. The fairy queen was just that.

"You are strong, i will give you that. No wonder why you are queen." he said before lunging at her wings, in an attempt to at least damange one of them

[Snotlout]

With his leg free, Snotlout was able to stagger away from Chase and glared at him all the while. It was only becoming just a little more apparent that something might have been wrong with him. Whatever that was remained a mystery to Snotlout, but he definitely wasn't feeling as stable as before. The werewolf Viking gave a low growl as his ears pressed back against his head, only to pause after a moment to finally lick some of the blood off of his mouth. Only moments after the action was fulfilled did he think it an unwise decision. Chase's blood wasn't anything Snotlout was accustomed to. It was very much unlike the metallic blood of animals... or even Hiccup's blood.

No. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just a little dazed from getting your leg bitten. That's all.

Leave it to Snotlout to not come up with a reasonable explanation. The hardheaded Viking was still convinced he was all right. He backed up a bit further, unintentionally heading in the general direction that Toothless happened to be in, and never let his eyes stray away from Chase or Musa. If Chase tried to attack again, Snotlout wanted to be prepared. If Musa suddenly viewed him as a threat then he needed to be equally prepared. Snotlout was only focused on what was in front of him. What lay nearby behind him, the huge Night Fury, was the least of his concerns at the moment.

[Astrid]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true]

[atrb=background,http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/6900/astridmiddle.png] Astrid was once again lifted into the air, doing spin in the air and landing on all four paws with a barely audible 'oof'. Astrid gave a laughing snarl, eyes glaring at Sakura. "I guess that makes two of us. If your hungry why don't you go suck your own blood?" Astrid growled, licking her maw of the vampire's blood. "And if you can't lose, well we have a nice problem here. I won't loose. Dibs on life and all." Astrid flashed a smile, baring her sharp fangs in the vampire's direction. Better for ripping her apart with. Astrid dove in at Sakura, tearing with her teeth, shoving with her shoulders, and like the shadow of a bird overhead, flitting out into a circle. A hawk circling it's prey, just deciding what moment to strike. Astrid leaped in towards Sakura again, opening her jaws and going for Sakura's calves or ankles, closing her mouth sharply and running, releasing before she returned to the circle. The goal had been to make Sakura fall as was most of Astrid's goals. To fall and to kill, the primal instinct in Astrid's being at the moment. The girl though, had the imagination and stubborness of a viking, making her attacks repetitive but changing the pattern every now and than. Making new combinations finding new spots to attack. The canine flashed in again, lunging and throwing her weight to Sakura's legs before hopping away to the outer edge of the circle. In some ways it looked like a dance, granted a deadly dance with dire consequences. Miss a step and curtains for you. Astrid's tongue lolled out of her mouth and a cold, doggy laugh escaped. 'Heh, heh, heh.' And jaws closed and lips arose. A furious snarl ripping through her throat. Astrid ran in, but instead of the head on attacks she'd used previously, she swerved last second, coming in from the side and letting her fangs slash and bite towards Sakura, before following her own moment to the edge of the ring. Her blue gaze intent on her target and prey. Her lips curled back in a vicious snarl and malicious smile. Concentration. Astrid was fixed on the red haired vampire that had dared start a fight with her. Not to mention the little come back match. A bark of a dog hunting its prey and was getting close left her maw involuntarily, her nose scrunching up a bit more as her snarl deepened in intensity. But it seemed that Astrid's plan forming in her head was not to be. A loud cry was heard from behind her. Agony was plain in the tone and the air. A fist seemed to grab her stomach and hold it tight, while still managing to shove her heart up her throat, constricted by stillness of the blonde's lungs. There was no mistaking the bearer of the loud cry. Astrid's ears went from pinned to her skull to up and alert. Her snarl slowly loosened into a shocked face, pupils widened. Than, without a second thought, Astrid turned tail and high tailed it. Not from the fight but to the red headed viking who had made the cry of agony. A snarl, low and shaky formed in her throat but was promptly stuck with the rest of her constricted throat. Astrid ran on dutifully and desperately. She should've known better than to leave him alone. Only he could find trouble while hiding. Only he would be stupid enough to actually step closer to the battle field than run back home. Only Hiccup was that stupid. Dodging trees and flitting across the field, her paws almost always suspended in the air as she half leaped half loped to the general direction she'd left the viking teen. Her tongue lolled to the side of her mouth, and air rushed to her lungs through her mouth. Astrid quickened the pace. Leaping out of the way of a tree, but still not quite close enough, Astrid saw the teen, a bark and a snarl escaping her mouth. Fury burning in her blood. Her blood had gotten cold at the sound of the cry but was now boiling in defiance. Her icy orbs sought the one who had caused the cry, skipping over the girl by Hiccup, her airs caught the man with the shadows. Her lips curled, and Astrid thrust her head down to speed up. "The gods save you now!!" The teenager roared, thundering towards Hiccup's attacker, snarls ripping from her chest. But fate seemed to have another idea in mind for the furious blonde viking.

[atrb=background,http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/696/hiccupmiddle.png] "The gods save you now!" That singular, all too familiar shout pulled Hiccup out of his 'oh my gods, I'm going to die' state rather quickly. It was enough to put his mind on something else beyond the immense pain he was in, and he found himself stunned when he finally caught sight of Astrid bounding toward Izaya. He almost couldn't believe it. Almost. He had thought for sure that Astrid wouldn't have cared all that much if he had gotten himself into trouble, but there she was dutifully running to his aid. "A-Astrid..." Hiccup wanted to say more, he really did, but two things stopped him. 1) The pain thundering down upon him from his horribly injured leg had been brought to light again, forcing him to silence himself before he could prove to be too big a distraction for his would-be savior 2) ...If he was being perfectly honest, he was beginning to feel more than a little nauseous. It might have simply been the fact that his body was so scrawny and twiggy, but there was no doubt in his mind that the toxic demon blood was starting to take its hold on his body. It was a struggle to simply keep himself anywhere near consciousness without having to worry about puking his brains out at the same time. Regardless, Hiccup was relieved enough by the fact that Astrid had come to his aid to let his eyelids droop just a little. A vigorous shake of his head remedied that, and also caused him mild discomfort from too sudden a movement, and kept him focused. He had to stay conscious. He just had to. No way was he going to let himself faint - or die - without knowing what happened to Astrid. ---- Song: I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik Images and Codes belong to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[atrb=background,http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/281/musamiddle.png] Musa yelped in surprise as the dragon demon lunged for her wings. She tried to dodge, though she only succeded in falling down, though it may have saved her from taking more significant damage to her wings. Nevertheless there was a good sized tear in her left wing now. So much for flying. There'd have to be a spell for that, but it'd have to wait until later, for now she was completely grounded. She got up, wincing at the pain from her sore wing. Damned lizard-thing. Her body ached from her fall, but she ignored it, like she ignored a whole lot of things lately. She tried to steady her breathing in an attempt to calm herself. Inside she was freaking out, as it donned on her that she may very well lose this fight, but she wouldn't let it show. "Complimenting mein an attempt to gain mercy won't work." She said smugly. She knew he was only trying to distract her, but she may as wel las some fun while she was facing danger. Musa had always beenr ather reckless, becoming queen didn't stop that, only toned it down. "Disc clash!" She yelled sending another attack the demon's way. ----- Song: Change by Taylor Swift Images and codes to their rightful owners Table made by Rapunzel Don't Steal!

[Toothless]

Pale lime hued eyes flickered towards the werewolf. He was nearing close to him, as well as attacked a fellow demon. From what the Night Fury recalled, he was actually the prince of the demons. But he wasn't 100 percent sure on that. Thus, he believed that he had his target in sight. The majestic ebony scaled beast had his target. The side of mischief in him took it's place in his battle tactics. Sneak up on the werewolf to frighten him. Sure, there was a chance that the dragon would also get beaten up a bit, but if it got to the point of him bleeding, then it would harm Snotlout more than him. There was something... familiar about the wolf. But what?

Probably nothing. The Night Fury demon cast the thought aside, his back arching up, taking slow cautious steps towards the werewolf before leaping in for a pounce. If he were lucky, he'd have gotten the wolf at least knocked down. Hopefully, luck was on his side. If not, this fight may actually be a bit difficult to handle.

~~~

Spirit. The kid had spirit, Scarlett would give her that much. A smirk stayed on her lips, as if permanently stuck there. As if blood dried on her lips to the point it was painful to drop that look on her face. "You've got guts, kid. I just hope you know you won't be leaving this fight a winner." she spat back at the witch, crimson eyes narrowing down at her. Her military experience was something she was extremely thankful for. Without it, she may be dead at this point. Well, in the ground, anyways. She was just walking dead status at this point.

With a hiss that revealed her pearly fangs, she attempted to pin the other down by tackling her down.
