"Kerion, still rings no bell, but it sounds like that was another life." He motions for his guards to carry on, they object, but he insists and like good soldiers they obey and continue marching into battle.
"You must be the gunman the Aristocracy hired, I'd say ye joined the wrong side, but money is money, is it not... comrade?" Connolly looks at Kerion, coldly and calculating, the mark of a unwavering officer. "So ya going kill me here? In cold blood? Or do I have a bit of chance?" His accent though makes him sounds almost mocking. "Well best make it quick, don't want to be standing here all day."

::He aims at him:: "This wasn't about money, at first. But now I got no choice but to do their dirty work." ::He pulls the hammer back on his revolver before spining:: "But I'll give you a chance. I had only two bullets in this revolver, only one left after I fired to get your attention. I'll aim for a kill shot and fire, if its empty, you'll be free to go. If it isn't, you'll know what happen. ::The barrel stops, but he spins it again:: I'll leave it you to tell me when to fire."

"Spin once more then fire." Connolly tilts his head slightly as he speaks. "Whenever you're ready."

::He spins one more time before it stops:: "No regrets." ::He pulls the trigger, the bullet flies out of the barrel, aimed for his heart. The bullet hits it mark, Kerion walked to Connolly's fallen body and knells down nextto him, knowing the guy didn't have much time left now:: "Why did you turn your back on the people? There's a lot still in the police that thought highly of you."

Connolly remains motionless on the ground, looking up to the dark, fire-lit sky. His eyes expressionless as Kerion hovers over him. Then, Kerion hears the distinct sound of a hammer being pulled back and a sharp jab into a spot just below his ribs. It's clearly the barrel of a pistol pressing against him. "People's values change over time." Connolly springs to life, his face shooting Kerion a sneaky smile as his other hand reaches over and unbuttons his uniform, exposing underneath crude but effect body armor and there, over his heart, is the flattened bullet from Kerions revolver. "Never play games on a battlefield." *Bang*
The round throws Kerion back as the tide of the battle turns against him. Connolly jumps back to his feat and stands above Kerion, looking down at him with a small pistol in hand.
"That's the difference between a man like me and a man like you. You're just a man with a gun, no convictions or honor. You play with your enemy like a cat in a sadistic little game, a soldier has the mercy to just kill them and be done." Connolly holsters his gun. "Sooner or later, your conscience is going to bother you. In the end, you have to choose whether you're going to live as a soldier, or just another man with a gun. That's why I'm letting you live, cause I want to find out what you choose."
Connolly turns around and walks away, beside him are more of the Red Dragoons as they muster around him, having watched the ordeal from the side-lines and soon he is swallowed up by the others as they march off into the night to carry on the fight.
((Sorry, but Connolly has to live for story purposes.))

::Kerion gets back off the ground, his armor took the full brunt of the gunfire. He looks as Connolly walks away:: You're wrong. He thought. Unlike you, I don't turn my back on people that need me. When you joined those terrorist, you turned your back on the people you vowed to protect.
::He ran, hidding hismelf before the LPA found him.::
I'm fighting to prevent your group form taking anymore innocent lives. Your conscience is going to bother you long before mine does, allowing innocent people to die just to overthrow a leader, corrupt or not.
::He hears them coming closer before he pulls out his Punisher, loading the ice round::
You'll learn that terrorism will only lead you to your grave.
::He comes out of his hiding spot, firing ice at the ones that fallowed, freezing them in ther place. While they taken cared of, he ran and dissapeared from sight::

Josh!
::Connoly's attention is called by something above him, not as visible in the night sky as it would have been earlier. Iole swoops down and folds her wings into her back. Kyran remains on her shoulder::
I just got back from recon. The Regent's troops are pulling back now.
::She starts searching the group for two faces she doesn't see::
Where's Ollie and Sid?

"I swore to protect the people of this city-state, I vowed to protect the flag that means life to me. Believe of me what you will, There is a duty that I'm sworn to do. You know nothing of my life or death."
A large explosion goes off in the distance, several blocks up and a couple buildings over. With barely a nod, its obvious who is behind the blast and Connolly doesn't even acknowledge it.
-Few blocks away-
Clives bomb has caused another building to collapse , barring the way for the Regent's troops to continue further into the Crest. For now it seems, the LPA have secured their sector against the onslaught, but at great cost.

(OOC: By Clive I assume you mean Oliver)
::Iole's only reaction to the explosion is a slight turn of the head::
I guess that answers my question. Should I go get them then?

::Kerion stopped running as he hid, hearing some footsteps approaching. He pulled out one of his hand guns and readied it. As soon as the person got into range, he jumped out and aimed, but saw it was one of the police:: "What are you doing here?" ::He lowers his gun::
"I got seperated from my squad." The guy replied.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"Fallow me and I'll show you where we have set up the base camp."
I smell an ambush coming. Best to play along. "Lead the way."

Connolly nods. "Yes, we're setting up a forward command. Orders from the top... retaliating and not stopping."
((All i got right now, brain tired. Going to set up a new thread and get this back in order here tomorrow.))

::The soldier leads Kerion away from the major fighting into a building:: "This is it?"
"Right inside."
::Kerion still has his doubts:: "You first."
::He nods before entering, showing him nothing was wrong. As soon as he steps in, all guns are trained on him, the people were indeed LPA:: Just as I thought, it was an ambush. ::He reaches for his Punisher, but the sound of guns cocking stopped him::

"Right, drop it. We don't need anymore killing tonight."
States one of the LPA soldiers, who appears to be leading the other small band. They look like they're a mix of several LPA divisions, probably separated in the bombings. In the corner is the body of a possible police officer, his uniform stripped off. Obviously where the LPA got the uniform for the trap
"Right, see, we were thinking that more of you Aristocracy dogs would be wondering out around here. So-" The leader says as he taps his forehead with the barrel of his pistol. "I was thinking of a little spider trap, you walked into it. Put the gun down and maybe you'll see the morning."

::He does so, unstraping the gun and setting it on the ground:: "And the others as well."
::Kerion sighed before removing his coat and tossing it infront of them, the crash it made made them wonder how many weapons he was packing. His hands were behind his back, holding a flash grenade he smuggled out of his coat before he tossed it:: "Satisfied?"
"Very. Hey! Hands were we can see them!" ::A smirk is seen on Kerion's face as he moved his hands behind his head over his ears. The sound of something dropping behind him caught their attention before they noticed the ring from a grenade on his middle finger:: "Oh shi-"
BOOM!
::The flash and sound from the grenade made the LPA members staggered back from blindness and deafness. Kerion took the chance and grabbed his overcoat and gets it back on. As one of them started to recover and fire, he turned back to let his coat take the gunfire. When the guy stopped to reload, Kerion grabbed his Punisher and stepped back as they started to recover:: "Ice Shot!"
::Each person in the buildings floor was frozen in ice as it fired out of the barrel. He took their now frozen captive and ran out:: Close one. ::Looks to the officer as he ran:: I swear these officers really need to learn to be more careful.
