"Your kidding right… this makes twice today alone." Dillon complained as he pulled his claymore from its place at his back.
Nathan shrugged "Its inconsequential wipe them out quickly so we can get on with matters of importance."
The yoma sprung and all four of the warriors moved to attack their targets. Nathan slid through the yoma like a whirlwind, slicing in every direction as he ripped past a knot of them. Sydney sliced through one yoma at a time leaving each in multiple pieces on the ground as she cut her way into their midst. Dillon slashed his way through with his left hand and with his right hand he grabbed any Yoma close and threw it onto its fellows letting him slash through the several distracted yoma with one blow.
Ray moved quickly and conservatively slicing the heads off any yoma that got close. A yoma tried to hit him from afar by extending its claws but Ray jumped over the attack stabbing threw the same Yoma's head one the way down and bringing his blade back up through a second Yoma. One yoma leapt in at him from behind, Ray twisted but didn't avoid entirely and the yoma grazed his back. Ray stopped moving and turned slowly to the yoma that scratched him.
"You dare… to spill… MY blood!" he screamed his voice changing in mid sentence from his normal one to that of his other mind set. The Yoma seamed to explode as Ray sliced it apart leaving chunks no bigger than his fist.
"Ray regain control now! You know that using yoma power isn't permitted while hunting a target!" Nathan shouted as he sliced open two yoma coming in from opposite sides letting them fall in half as they fell while he engaged the nearest yoma.
Ray turned and glared, his eyes had turned gold and his pupils had thinned and elongated like a beat's. "Make me" Ray hissed in his other voice.
"Dillon keep Ray out of the fight! Sydney make sure no Yoma gets to close. I'll finish this quickly." Nathan growled.
"Nathan! You just said that…"
"No time Sydney! His energy is already at a much higher lever of release than mine. And I need to finish this… Now."
Nathan's eyes took on the same golden color and the same cat like shape as Ray's. Nathan's motions blurred until he was almost imposable to see coming much less block or dodge. As he reached each yoma he whirled slashing through multiple yoma in one spin. In seconds it was all over, yoma lay about scattered all over the forest floor.
Ray stood up slowly as Dillon let him up from the ground where he had been pined Rays eyes had returned to the normal silver color. Dillon stretched is right arm. "Man I almost had to use my dominant arm as well to keep him down as well as my right."
"Shut-up Dillon, your useless comments aren't appreciated. Nor is your frivolous attitude. Keep yourself alert, I would have hoped our encounter with the yoma this morning would have taught you that."
"That's a little harsh...it wasn't entirely my fault." Dillon muttered. "Come on we will be able to sleep tonight if we make good time." Nathan called to the others.
"Eh? Only if we make good time. We've been marching for three days now and we didn't have a break this morning. Even our bodies tire eventually." Dillon said with an air of sarcasm and annoyance while shooting a sour glare at Nathan.
"Your getting more annoying by the second stop your griping or I'll stop it by force."
"Sydney!… now is not the time. Dillon we are going to a specific spot to rest its not far and we can still make it before the sun sets if we hurry but we aren't going to be stopping any were else tonight."
Nathan explained. "Come on lets go." They all sheathed their claymores and moved off after Nathan.
