'the bar'

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael nodded.

"I agree... Lets regroup and come up with a plan when there isn't a knife against our throats," Azrael said to Austin.

[Rino]

Rino took the hit to his face with casual regard, before upper cutting Austin to the stomach with all his demonic strength.

If all went well, Austin would fly out through the roof and land outside.

He didn't mind the rest of the Circle dying when the building collapsed (which it was on the verge of doing), but he wanted the pleasure of murdering Austin later on.

Slowly.

[Austin]

Austin spun to evade the uppercut and retaliated with one of his own before barking out some orders
"Right people, move out, i'll hold him here if i can"

[Alucard "Pyr0" Valentine]

Alucard, still on the floor trying to get to the supply box, was burried under some burning rubble.
Well, that sucked.
using the last of his strength, he tried to push off the burning rubble, but to no avail
someone had better have seen that, i could use some help right about now...

[Hope Mêler]

Outside of the bar, Hope had been sitting for several minutes, trying desperately to get up. Her right leg had conveniently decided to die, so at last she had to jump up on the one leg that was 'working'. She considered the possibilities of running away, but figured that the Circle would probably like her better if she joined them.

Looking in the window with the shattered glass, she saw Alucard lying buried under some burning rubble. She sighed, jumped inside and started walking to him by leaning onto random tables and chairs.

"Hope to the rescue," she said cheerfully and grinned as she picked up the rubble and dropped it on the floor beside Alucard. "Wanna get out of here? I believe I heard the boss commanding us to do something like that." She held out her hand and smiled.

[Alucard "Pyr0" Valentine]

"Would be nice, but i cant leave that box here, the contents are volatile to say the least" he said, pointing to a metal container not ten feet away. "And i would be utterly helpless without them. You get the box, ill get myself out."
With that, he pulled himself to his feet, holding his rounds tightly, and climbed out the window Hope had entered by.

[Hope Mêler]

Hope smiled and nodded, but the thoughts going on in her head didn't exactly welcome her new 'mission'. My foot is hurt, there's burning debris everywhere - and never mind about that! I've got to get a box that's going to explode up my face! She shook her head and glanced at Rino and Austin. Rino was busy fighting their boss, it seamed like he'd lost interest in everybody else.

Hope got to the box and looked hatefully at it. Better get that thing, and most importantly myself, out of here.

"OUCH much!" She pulled her hand back and looked at it. Of course, a metal box would be the first thing to get hot in a burning building! I'm going to kill you after this, Alucard. She thought angrily, very well knowing that it might probably be true one day. Maybe Rino would give her the honour of killing him. With that thought in mind she picked up the box and started walking slowly towards the window. She climbed out of it with great difficulty, one hand had to hold the box and she was injured - but there she was at last, outside, breathing fresh air.

"It's getting quite hot in there," Hope commented to Alucard as she put down the box carefully. She looked at the hand that had held the box and sighed. "Austin has got to get out soon, if Rino doesn't kill him the flames, or the heat, or the gasses he's breathing are going to do the job." She tried to look sad.

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael stood beside Austin with his little table leg.

"Order or no order my brother, if this is where you die then allow me to join you."

[Rino]

"Wow. You're all keen on dieing." Rino observed, smirking. "It's helpful, really." He snatched the table stick off of Azrael in one swift movement, and just looked at it. "This is pathetic." He noted, throwing it aside and kicking into Azrael with his demonic strength.

"The great Austin Darkora. Killed when a building fell on him. You people really are laughable."

[Austin]

Austin chuckled
"Unless this building is made of silver it isn't going to have much effect on me, Demon, or did you forget that i'm a Werewolf? All those years of isolation i put you into sure has done wonders for your memory"
he was taunting Rino now, reminding him of what happened when they last met

[Jaden Kalen]

Jaden walked out of the burning building to where Hope and Alucard stood his cut on his side had slit open somewhen in the fighting, he looked at Hope and Alucard. "This is not our fight we have to get back to the HQ, but first we have to get Azrael out of there he's human and will shortly die cause of the smoke and heat. Austin will be fine, Hope you stay here with Alucard I'm going to get Azrael" He said turning and running back into the building his side screaming with pain.

When he reached the others he lifting his two daggers out and stood next to Austin and Azrael. "May I join you?" He asked.

(Rino could you knock Jaden out please. I'm going on holiday again for 5 days and I need an reason not to post so if that could happen and Azrael could help me out of the building that would be great)

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael was a bit annoyed with the table leg being taken from him, but that was all put aside when all he was feeling was pain from being kicked in the general direction of the roof. Upon hitting the floor, Azrael didn't have much feeling left in him... The smoke was becoming too much for him. It should be for Austin too... Werewolf or not, he can still lose conscious.

At the point that Jaden came in, Azrael felt panicky...

"Jaden, Austin, we should get out of here... Fight him outside if you want..." Azrael wqas cut short from choking on the smoke.

[Rino]

Rino's attention snapped to Jaden, and he launched a side thrust kick into his skull, knocking Jaden out clean, before swivelling to face Austin.

"Austin...my dear, stupid, Austin, I think you'll find losing your head is still fatal." He smiled. "Do you really think this building collapsing will slow me down even in the slightest? No. But you. It'll pin you. And before you can do anything....I'll tear off your head and you'll be gone forever."

Rino leapt in a kick at Austin.
"So, this is where you die. Pathetic, really."

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael helped himself to his feet again and rushed to Jaden. Upon deciding that Jaden was only badly bruised and unconscious, Azrael tried to move his body from the burning building before focusing on helping Austin.

[Austin]

Austin dodged the kick and wheeled, returning it with one of his own
"Azrael, get Jaden out of here!"
he yelled over the roar of the flames
