Pirate Captain:

"Oi! You aren't a Pirate." One of the Men within the establishment Derous was in would say; they all having turn their attention to his strange behavior. He would hesitate at all when question Derous, as no one was to talk to the Marines strung up. That was the only rule around here, but Derous broke that. And even if he didn't, he held a conversation with him. Albeit it being short, he still spoke as if he didn't see the Marine as an enemy. It was strange, well in the eyes of this man along with his partner. He would stand to his feet and begin to approach Derous, something peering over his shoulder, but wasn't really recognizable by Derous. 


"You caught me." Derous didn't feel a need to lie anymore, he was ready for action. Well, he thought he was. As he would place Beki down, or well let it bite into the face of the strung up Marine. The creature letting it's instincts to kick in so it wouldn't hold back when biting into the Marine. No one really cared for this as the Marine was close to death's door anyway, and well the attention was on Derous at this moment. He wouldn't get into a fighting stance at all but stand firm in his place, just a bit shorter than the Goliath of a man. Well, his height, nor weight, would matter anymore. The Goliath, Little Bum, would grab Derous by the shoulder, with astonishing grip strength, and launch him forward. Sending Derous flying through the door, breaking it down, and flying out into the middle of the street, hitting a few of the Steele Pirates; well you could just go back to calling them Marines now. 

"Wow, that was a nice throw. But, the match is mine." Derous would mumble to himself as he would stand to his feet. "Captain! Our cover has been blown, because of me. I apologize, but I couldn't stand what they did to our fallen comrades." Derous would say as he would not look for Steele, but scan his surroundings. He didn't want to be taken by surprise at all,a nd wanted to keep his guard up. Didn't want to be tossed like a ragged doll again. 

"Damn Marine! Captain, I will handle them all. You can go get the others, we might need them." Little Bum would say to his Captain, who was the one over his shoulder. 

"Be safe, Little Bum. We will be back!" And with that it would seem like Big Bum had seemingly disappear. 

Little Bum will walk outside, a large ax within the hand he didn't toss Derous with. He looked at all of the fake pirates and would shake his head, not seeing why they would fake. Being a pirate, to Little Bum, was something you shouldn't try to fake. Ah, but Little Bum was also a bit agitated, and in pain. His first thought wasn't to throw Derous but rather hold him still while he hit him with his ax, to kill him quickly. But, when he had touched Derous he felt a great pain and had to just throw him, to keep him away. And well glancing down at his hand he used to do that, you could see it was no good. Palm burned all the way to bone, almost to the other side of his hand. Just from the brief contact. Little Bum knowing it could've being worse if he held on any tighter or longer. He knew to not make that mistake with that man again. The attack would be canceled once contact with Little Bum had ended, so no one else was hurt. 

ooc: Big Bum will return within three posts, along with the 20 Tier one grunts. 

Deadly Touch
Stamina: 340

Foolish, that is all you can call them. Why? Because they had started, in Little Bum's mind, a war. And, in war the first to act, again in Little Bum's mind, was the first to strike one. Strike. Striking without leaving any room for the enemy to even notice, or well react in time. And, that is what Little Bum would do. As, without any real effort he would swing him might ax, this working just as a skill. No, he wouldn't send out a shock-wave or anything like that, he didn't have such an ability. But, he would physically launch his ax out as if it was an boomerang, it going right in line with the formation the marine's foolishly took. They should've just fire don him once he made his presence known. But, while they were pulling up their rifle, or whatever firearm they held, the ax would begin to make quick work. It taking just mere seconds would tear through give of them. 

Ah, but still even with that attack, Little Bum could be subtle to damage, so he didn't stay in one place after launching it. But, rather he would take off in a sprint to the side. The side that he had launched his weapon. Why? Because look at theses men that tried to kill him. They were piss poor mere fodder, that only had numbers. And due to that they wouldn't be able to take aim and fire freely, well hit, Little Bum as if they held any real skill. So, sadly even if all of them didn't die from the attack, they would be useless. And to specify a bit more, Little bum didn't just run in a straight line. He would run just like he ad thrown his ax, in a arc. Picking up the top half of a dead marines' body, that being if they did take the hit. But, they should, as they wouldn't be fast enough to really react to it, but many things could happen in this world. 

Derous, along with Steel and other Marines, that didn't get into the formation would be in a fine position. But, not a great one. Little Bum was massive, yes, but that didn't hinder his speed at all. Only people that would have a real chance of doing any real damage to him would be Derous or Steele, so one of them had to step up. If not. The grunts would not be able to stand a chance at all, even if they had more numbers. Even if they all tried, the grunts, they wouldn't be much help. As, they couldn't keep up with him, even with his size. Honestly, they were just in the way. 

"Captain, pull your men back. Taking such actions would seem right, but the enemies we are facing are just sitting ducks. They think, and one of us should deal with the likes of them." Derous would say as he would make his way over to Steele.  

Little Bum, still moving his set motion, would notice an addition to the line up. But, was that really the smartest thing to do? As, due to the speed at which the ax traveled Steele wouldn't be fast enough to stop it before it caused damage to the others, even if he had moved at his maximum speed, sadly. But, carving cleanly through the fodder didn't lessen the power behind the attack. As, it would indeed be blocked, but at what cost? This wasn't some blunt object but a mighty ax that has cleaved through many foes. And added to the attack having Tier three potential his defense wouldn't be enough. 

Yes, the ax would find it self halted, but not brushed aside as if it wasn't nothing. As it would be lodged into the forearm of Steele. Though, from traveling through a few fodder already the damage had been lessened a bit, so Steele wouldn't lose his arm. Though, it wouldn't enough to sever the arm but, like stated before, would be lodged a few inched deep into Steele's forearm. 

Little Bum, on his travel, also would lift up the top half of a bisected corpse. This to toss into the body of Steele, once he got close. He had already planned to pick up the top half of the fallen, as to keep himself covered from the other Marines not in range of his attack. But, it seemed picking up the corpse would have another purpose. 

"Fool!" Little Bum would mutter as he would make it in front of Steele, unfazed if Steele continued with his initial attack. The corpse enough protection for his upper body, but not much for his legs. As, he would suffer damage there, but that would only slow him down, and not fully stop this Goliath. But, once the distance was closed, Little Bum would toss the body forward and and reach out, with his now free good hand reach to grab the handle of his double sided ax. 

'I should help, but I won't. That guy is fighting with one hand, so he shouldn't be that tough for Steele. But, jumping right in the way, or trying to was dumb. Yes, there would've been more casualties, but that was inevitable. I explained this before, I think, many of us will die today. That was just how it was going to be, no way around it. For us to administer JUSTICE, there must be sacrifice.' Derous would think to himself as he watched the fight, well kinda. As it was fast paced and he also was checking out his surroundings, as he regain his energy. As, he seemed to be the only one to notice that something had left Little Bum's shoulder. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it wasn't good. Something was going to be coming, he could just feel it. 

Just a few feet away Little Bum was from his ax, and this would cause him to launch the corpse forward at the face of Steele. Though, he wouldn't be enough to stop what would follow next, as he would seem to lose his footing. Not on the bodies on the ground as he could easily, as he already has, step on them like nothing. No, it would seem the ground would shake ferociously. And, without thinking, Little Bum had tried to use the hand that had been destroyed by Derous earlier. He didn't feel pain from doing this as the hand was completely numb. It did though prevent him from pushing off the ground like he planned in order to not fall. But, he wouldn't be able to muster any strength with his hand like that and would fall forward. And this is where he would met his end by having his neck snapped and crushed.

'Steele would've been in trouble if I hadn't hurt that guy, but whatever. We have bigger problems now.' Derous would say as his attention had been called elsewhere, to that of the small force that was rushing toward the group. The group of around twenty pirates didn't really interest Derous, but rather the guy that lead them, or well came first. As, it's speed was magnificent and something would cause Steele trouble, if he fought him. So, Derous would have to deal with it, as no one else her would be able to.

"Get ready t-" Derous had turned his attention over to the grunt that was beside him, but would find himself wasting breathe. The grunt he was talking to was no more, well his head wasn't. And looking behind it he could see it, the culprit. The little guy's mouth dripping blood.

"You guys killed Little Bum. I... I will devour you all for this!" He would spout out as he would then begin to take off in a blur. And in as if in a instant the other two Marine grunts that were around Derous would fall. Large holes within their bodies, as if a cannon ball had been shot through them.

'Yea, I won't be able to do anything out here.' Derous would say as he would be the only Marine not following Steele's orders to regroup. As, the only reason he didn't die like the other three was because he could, kinda, keep up with the dwarf's speed. But, not that much. As the dwarf seemed to speed past and not stay into the open buy burrow into the ground, as if it was some creature. It doing this by just eating everything with it's way. An annoying little fellow. Scanning around Derous was going to have to pick a new place to hold this fight, and he was close. As this town had many building, not large and glorious, but what you would expect a village to have. 

So, he would wait for his moment to move. And soon it came, as the dwarf would come from underneath in an attempt to eat Derous from the bottom up. Only way Derous was able to know the attack was coming from their as the ground beneath he would shake a bit. And as the Dwarf went upward Derous would back peddle, until he would reach the steps to the building behind him. And, once he did, he would turn around and jet inside, running right through the wooden swinging doors. Yes, Derous could've attacked while the dwarf came up, but he didn't want to. Or, well he didn't think it was wise. He didn't know what ability the dwarf had to do such things as eat cleaning through someone. 

Now within the building he would scan around, seeing that it was abandoned. An old place not much going on in the interior at all, but a few chairs and table here and there. 'Okay, now how should I deal with him. I'm extremely larger, but his speed is far past my own, sadly. So, that leaves only one thing I can do.' Derous would think to himself as he was on guard. From inside this building he could barely hear the fighting that was taking place outside, but that was good. That mean he would have less distractions and things he would have to keep track of. 

"Don't." Derous would hear the voice within the building but not know where exactly it came from. 

"So, you are in here with me? Man, you are really fast, didn't even know you entered." Derous would comment as he stood his ground, seemingly making light of his situation. 

"Fuck, you. You guys killed Little Bum! So, I will devour you all, and make that other one suffer. " Big Bum would say. His voice not coming from the same direction it came before. 

"Oh, but I can't allow that. He is my Captain, after all. But, I want to ask you something. What is your aim?" Derous would ask, wanting to keep talking. The sweat aroma escaping his mouth as he spoke more. 

"To hell with you!" Big Bum would say as he would come out from the rafters above and fire down at Derous., graving him. Not much though, as Big Bum only got Derous' clothes. Yes, Derous was alerted by Big Bum scream at him before attacking, but Big Bum also was going slower. 

"Almost!" Derous would say. 

Skills:

"Hey, can you just give up?" Derous would ask Big Bum, as their fight wasn't entertaining, at all. 

"No, I...I will fucking kill you!" Big Bum would decalre with confidence. But, he would miss again at his charge, and by a lot. Derous didn't even move to dodge this time. This was all because of the poison Derous had let out withint he building, that Big Bum failed to and still fails to esapce from. As, by now, it would make the vision of Derous' foe see double. And attack what he thought was there. That was really one of the reasons Derous brought this fight inside, as this poison doesn't target just one person, but anyone that breathes it in. So, he couldn't keep it from the others of his crew, as he knew how the fool Steele would react to it. Not, in attacking Derous, but rather trying to always use Derous as if he was just a pawn. Like he did with those pets of his. 

Derous would watch Big Bum as he stood up, no longer asking him questions. As he knew the guy wouldn't give up anything, sadly. And that would mean that Big Bum had no real purpose in living anymore, and he could just be killed. No need to even keep this fight up, no point. But, how was Derous to do this. Should be bash the little guy's head in? As, he was little, and physically Derous was superior. But, he only needed to touch him for a second, as his coated hand would only need brief contact with the small creature.

It was over, as the poison would kill Big Bum. No, not instantly, as Big Bum would suffer, but it would burn away everything till nothing was left. So, as Big Bum wallowed in pain Derous would begin to make his way out of the building, but just to the porch. As, he would watch everyone already down the road. Retreating, well in his eyes.
