I turn into a mist then re-appears behind Brutus and say "But that's no fun"

Please have him introduce himself elsewhere. And join, for now, in a more passive capacity. Not to be rude, but jumping into a battle like that can be very disorienting.

"What'd you miss?" the girl asks. "I don't know what to tell you as I don't know who you are. Lady Crescent mentioned information about a 'Shadowulf,' a 'Miscreant,' a 'Vault,' a 'Philote' and a 'Zaleramancer.' So which one are you? By the way, my name's Suzu."


(Note to Bug: Crescent is replacing Dryad so Crescent only knows of recent events and Suzu is her Head Maid)

"Ok"  I say as I turn into a puddle of water and flow away and then retake my shape near bug

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I told him it would be fine. Don't worry about it Shad, Hummunculi's a cool dude. Let's just get back to the fight between me and Brutus"

[Humunculi]

"Well I had to do something when they were trying to hurt my best friend"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Suzu smiles, "I see. Nice to meet you then. Actually, to be blunt, how often do fights like that happen. The maids under me  would probably like some exercise once in a while."

She points to the fight between Marv and Brutus.

[Philote]

"Greetings"

[Humunculi]

"Well me and the many others me's are pleased to meet you to"

"I don't know exactly what my power would be, I can just change any part of myself into anything I want at my will." As I transform my hand into a flame " Although depending on what I transform into tends to also bring out the others that are inside my head"

Brutus flies back with a cry of wild outrage.

His body sails helplessly through the air, and as though the wall were made of legos, it readily gives way under Brutus' body, leaving behind a smoking crater.

Indeed, the mess of the impact is rather impressive.

Though, the look on Brutus' face, as he rose shakily from the smouldering wreckage, clothes torn, reflected something other than approving amazement. Red-faced, though barely bruised, huffing as though after only a vigorous jog, he simply dusted off, and raised the Greatsword Babaraina again.

"You want what I got?" He growled, his eyes glinting red, "That can be arranged."

At the tip of the sword, bright red glint flashed. Then, again it flashed, as a hateful and strangely-distant star. Then closer it flashed, and became apparent as something similar to, but far fiercer than fire. Raw emotion, most likely. And knowing Brutus, it was rage.

Though, only Marv would know for sure, as Brutus raced toward him, pulling a smoky trail of red glittering stardust in his wake. Feet away, he swung the blade around, and time seemed to slow as its energy coalesced into a beautiful deadly ribbon, a roaring red aurora, of pure unmitigated savagery.

"HEART OF ARES!"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"It's nice of you to ask, but really I'm not all that impressive in comparison to Lady Crescent." Suzu replies. "However since you do ask, I'll answer. First off I can control the ki that is within me to increase my speed, strength, defense, etc. Second, my blood is highly acidic and as a result, I'm virtually immune to harm from acids. Third, I can use almost any magic item without bad side-effects. Those are the main things, but I do have a few others that I'd prefer to keep secret."

Suzu: "Your's is quite-"

Crescent comes up behind Suzu and puts her in a quick headlock while looking at Bug, "So then Suzu, why don't you introduce me to this one eh? I just finished a food eating contest over there."

Crescent points a thumb towards where a very content looking werewolf is sitting at an empty table, "The name's Shigemoto, Shigemoto Wen Mei. I tend to go by Crescent though."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

For the first time, since the transformation into my new form, my smile fell.

"Shit, this might hurt....."

With no time to move out of the way I throw up my arms in a cross to cover my face as the rest of my body braces for impact. The green bands tattooed into my skin glow like emeralds lit from within and a flow of crystal spawns from their depths, sliding over every inch of my frame. The crystal freezes me in place, just as Brutus' rage fueled blast impacted.

The heat and light where searing as the force snapped me from my position and hurled my crystal frozen body backwards with meteoric force. chucks and shards of crystal snapped and fragmented off in the horrific barrage, tumbling through the air like snowflakes. It was almost beautiful, though I had little time to appreciate it as I plunged into the ground a moment later.

As the dust cleared the crystal flowed back into me. I staggered to my feet slowly....a grin growing on my face.

The chunks of crystal that had fragmented froze in midair and began to glow green as the revolved in place.

"That was some hit, I think you broke a rib or two..."

The crystals, spun faster becoming balls of green light.

"...yes, it was very impressive, but so is this...."

the balls of light stopped and dimmed to reveal dozens of cartoon-like bombs complete with rope fuses hanging in mid air. A large green M painted on each one.

"Let's start round 2 with a BANG!"

The bombs exploded into emerald fires of shrapnel and heat all across the battlefield.

I sit down like an innocent child and watch Marv with my big innocent eyes and I go "OOOOO!!! pretty colors!"
