Re: Fan Rp - MAlec - THE DEATH OF CLARY! (c) Cassandra Clare

[RippedNose]

Magnus laughed slightly, despite the situation. She had much more say in this than Alec did at this point. "Good" was his only response to Alec's answer. He would have been extremely surprised if they had some without. "Hmm, well that depends on what we're up against. Since we have virtually no idea, I think I'm going to leave that decision until the very last minute" he said, running his fingers through his hair. Maybe that was a bad idea, but it made sense. Kind of. "Alright, let's get this over with" he said, heaving a sigh and walking into the cave, which may or may not hold certain death.

[Nyako-Chan]

Taking a deep breath, having no idea what awaited the trio, Alec and Isabelle proceeded with Magnus. Alec wondered if they'd get out of this alive, but he had a feeling that whatever happened, Magnus would try to make sure at least Alec did because he played favorites with the Lightwood family. Maybe if he asked he'd try to get Izzy out first. Leaving it to the last moment to decide if Alec could fight kind of meant if something happened in the spur of the moment, Alec might need to fight anyway for self defense. How many people were going to fight here? Jace and Clary? Valentine? Did he have any Forsaken on him? Any other minions?

"Magnus, what do we do when we find them?" Alec asked, looking around the area. It was kind of open, so they needed to be alert in case of a surprise attack. Alec and Isabelle ran on instinct, usually, to survive.

[RippedNose]

Magnus scanned the area as they walked in, only glancing back to make sure that they were following him once. He was nervous and slightly high-strung, only nervous really because of how much Alec could be in danger. He had no idea how this was going to go down, but if they needed a quick escape, Alec was going first, hands down. No arguments. He glanced back at the sound of Alec's voice. "I'm hoping just get the two of them back and run without a scene, but it's probably not going to work that way. There may or may not be another warlock there, or Forsaken, or any number of demons. We have no idea what we're up against" he said, sighing and hoping it wouldn't be too bad. He hadn't had an all-out brawl in a long time, and he was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

[Nyako-Chan]

((buddy might need to play Sebastian since I'd be played as Clary and Jace and Isabelle))

"No kidding," Alec breathed, scanning around quickly, Isabelle doing the same, as their instincts told them. "Valentine, as we believe, is controlling them and us with another warlock, maybe, so we'd possibly have to fight them, and this potential warlock, and whatever else is there." Were they gonna make it out? Unscathed, impossible, even if Magnus had a portal ready, they'd be caught by surprise.

"We're going to bring Jace and Clary home, and everything will go back to normal, won't it?" Isabelle asked, "assuming we eliminate Valentine or the warlock he might have present."

Alec stopped in his tracks when he heard something. "Hey, Magnus, wait." He listened closely, the runes he had enhanced his hearing. "Sounds like...footsteps." Someone was approaching?

[RippedNose]

((thats fine ^.^ i dont know how well ill do it, but ill try))

Magnus nodded, keeping his gaze primarily foreward, knowing that the other two would be undoubtebly watching out, but he couldn't help a few glances around. "Let's just hope it's only Clary and Jace. Valentine will most likely be there, but you never know" he sighed, glancing up at his colourful hair and wondering if anything was going to happen to it. He wouldn't be very happy if his hair was damaged too much in the fighting. "Well normal isn't exactly what I'd call your lives" he commented dryly, "But yes, it should" he shrugged. As soon as Alec stopped he did as well, turning to face him quickly, not having heard the footsteps coming. "Footsteps?" he asked, listening closely, and faintly able to hear it. His ears weren't as good as either of the Shadowhunters', but they were better than the average human's. "Crap. Alright, I'm sure I don't have to say it, but be ready, troops" he turned to the direction of the sound, wondering who it would be.

[Nyako-Chan]

"Don't need to tell us twice either way," Isabelle commented, her whip no longer a bracelet on her wrist. She was ready to fight, she scanned the area, thinking of possibilities that could be pulled off given certain conditions. Alec was doubtlessly doing the same thing, assuming he was allowed to fight. Magnus might not even think about saying no if they were attacked right away, not that she was wishing for something like that to happen, but Isabelle had a feeling they'd need as much help as they could scrape up for this. Call it a hunch, or Shadowhunter instinct, either way, it told her they needed all three hands.

Alec hadn't quite expected to see both Clary and Jace walking together, or at least he didn't think Clary would be awake. They didn't look very dazed or possessed, they actually looked quite conscious, even serious.

"Jace," Alec said softly, wondering if that would break the trance that held the room still. "What are you doing?" Jace had his stele out, and Clary had her mother's in her hand. Footsteps neared from behind, and Alec, being the closest to the back, turned around to see Sebastian, blonde haired, making his way over to them, looking smug. Jace didn't even give off his usual dislike for him. It appeared as though they'd come to some mutual agreement or had joined sides.

[RippedNose]

Magnus knew he didn't have to say it, but he said things unnecessarily all the time. It was what he did. Most of his vocabulary was pointless. He watched wearily as two people approached in front of them, proving to be Clary and Jace, not surprising him. Except that Clary was concious. They both looked, normal though. If it was possible to tell weather they were posessed by a glance. He assumed it was just that they looked more in control. His lip twitched slightly when Alec broke the silence. Electricity crackled up and down his long fingers, blue lightning dancing between them threateningly. He heard Alec turn and he turned himself, wondering what was dragging his attention away from the two in front of them, to see Sebastian, and his eyebrows raised, unable to help himself. Sure, he was in a relationship, he loved his partner dearly, and now expecting a child, but that didn't mean he couldn't appreciate the looks of others. He was sure Alec was still attracted to Jace anyways.

He shook himself out of his thoughts. He couldn't afford to be daydreaming at a time like this. He hooked a finger in Alec's belt loop and tugged lightly, encouraging him to move a bit closer, unable to help himself. If anything, he was just worried about Alec here. He caught Sebastian's raised eyebrow and slight amused smirk at his actions, but he ignored it. He had no idea how anything would proceed. "Look at this, such a touching reunion. What the hell's going on?" his voice took on a slightly harder edge at the latter sentence.

[Nyako-Chan]

Alec didn't let himself stumble backing up even when he had expected it least and it had also made him jump when Magnus pulled him back a bit by his belt loop. Alec turned to look back at Clary and Jace since Magnus had his eye on Sebastian, however odd that appeared. "Jace, Clary, what are you doing?" he asked, brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you doing here with Sebastian? He works for Valentine if you can't recall."

"We know," Jace replied, "and so do we." Clary by his side nodded stupidly, looking determined, if not a little hesitant. Or scared. "He's our father, and we work with him now, even if that means we have to work with this twat, too." Sebastian had no reaction to the last part of the comment.

Isabelle made a noise between a choke and a scream hearing that. "What! Jace, you and Clary are both idiots, we know, and you must have inherited that from Valentine, but you forget he's our enemy! He's been brainwashing us, or mind controlling us! He's evil!" Her whip crackled dangerously as her wrist flicked it. "You aren't coming back with us, are you?" she asked a little disappointed.

Jace sighed, as if expecting this. "No, Isabelle, we aren't. But who said you guys were going back anyway?" Jace drew a sword that they hadn't noticed before. Clary brought out her own sword, though she wasn't very good at holding it.

"Why?" Isabelle asked, her whip at ready. Alec had his sword ready, and he knew Magnus was more than ready to fight.

[RippedNose]

Magnus sent a glare at Sebastian as he listened to the conversation, not interjecting for once. His glare was answered with a mocking smile. He glanced over his shoulder quickly, reluctant to keep his gaze off of the blonde he was watching, but he needed to see what their expressions were like. They both looked serious. Clary didn't look as sure of herself as Jace did, but she rarely did. Besides, he was sure she wouldn't leave Jace to do this alone anyways. She stuck to him like glue, as stupid as that was most of the time.

Murmuring his agreement to Isabelle's little tyraid, Magnus looked back to Sebastian, who was casually looking at his nails, looking rather bored now. He obviously thought he had better things to do than listen to heartfelt arguments between the rather disjointed family. As soon as Jace spoke of them not going back his fingers crackled again, the blue light a bit brighter this time. He saw Sebastian pulling out a sword now and looking animalisticly pleased at the idea of killing them all. He was partial to the idea of 'jump through a portal since it's a lost cause', but he knew that the other two wouldn't go for it. Already thinking ahead, he turned around and his gaze locked on Jace.

"I get pretty boy" he muttered, only loud enough for Alec and Isabelle to hear. He wasn't biased, and would have no problem killing Jace if he needed to. In fact, he would love to. Payback's a dish best served cold, but Jace would have to deal with it hot. "How about we all discuss this over tea? I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding" he said in a slightly mocking voice. He could tell by now that they weren't getting out of here with a fight, but whatever happened he was getting Alec out alive, weather he got hurt in the process or not.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle, being closer to Clary than the other two in her party, went for her with the whip, giving a shrill cry as she lunged at the clueless red head. The whip cracked as it missed the girl falling over in surprise. Isabelle tsked and went at her again, only giving her the time to pick herself back up because Clary couldn't be all that bad. "What are they promising you if you work for them?" she demanded from the other female, and Clary looked worried and struck with a sword she handled better than Isabelle had seen her handle one before.

Alec went after Sebastian since Magnus had Jace occupied and Isabelle had gone after Clary. Sebastian was gone before he could turn to him. Alec stood ready, positioned to fight. Sebastian was no ordinary Shadowhunter. He was better than them all combined, he was even better than Jace. How was Alec going to do this? He had to stay alive or Magnus would bring him back and never let him be a Shadowhunter again.

[RippedNose]

Magnus acted as soon as Isabelle lunged, hurling a ball of blue fire at Jace, closing the distance between them to be close enough for his magic to do more damage, but just out of reach of his sword. He was well aware how fast Jace was, and how well he could fight, but he was hoping to have the upper hand, being the High Warlock of Brooklyn and all. Plus, he was very good at being distracting. Although Jace could easily rebuttle his remarks while fighting as well. This one would be interesting.

Sebastian saw the eldest Lightwood child coming for him and moved, running away, not cowardly, but plotting. He had no doubts about winning this fight. He was sure it wouldn't even be a challenge to kill the Shadowhunter. Moving up behind Alec silently, he ran the blade of his sword along one arm lightly, enough to draw blood, but not hard enough to do much damage. "Father told us not to kill you, but that doesn't mean I can't rough you up a little bit" he said softly, smirking and sending a look at Magnus who glanced back at the pair quickly, obviously trying to keep an eye on his boyfriend.

[Nyako-Chan]

Clary shrieked loudly as Isabelle's whip tightened around her neck, at any moment Isabelle could chose to tighten just enough to cut her air supply off.
Thinking fast, Clary used the sword to cut the whip, leaving Isabelle hissing at her in fury, the whip sizzling to the ground as it was severed. The other girl still had a decent amount of fighting length to use though. Clary didn't believe she could win. She never did, as she was never trained, but she still had to try for her mother.

Jace had dodged the fireball Magnus had tossed his way, but in doing so, he had allowed Magnus to get closer, close enough to fight him and maintain the distance to stay out of his reach from the sword. Jace knew how Magnus fought, and because it took only just a split second longer to get the spells after him, Jace was that much faster at planning out his attacks and preforming them. Jace danced around Magnus, just as Magnus avoided close contact. "You're going to die if you keep getting distracted," he commented when Magnus checked Alec and Sebastian. Their plan was working perfectly.

Gritting his teeth to keep from making a sound as the sadist Sebastian drew the first blood in their battle of two. That was expected, Alec thought, but he'd hoped he could have avoided that longer. The wound stung, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. Over time maybe it would affect his battling, slowing him down, weakening him as he continued to bleed, but they couldn't kill him. Alec pressed the sword behind him, hoping to either get lucky and strike the blonde, or at least get him away from him.

[RippedNose]

Magnus ignored the scream from Clary it sounded like, taking it as a good sign at this point. He had no idea how this fight was going to go. He was hoping he could at least knock Jace out. Then it would be easy to kill him if needed. He could always use the spell he had that rendered people unconcious, but that only lasted a few moments. "I'm not going to die at your hands, Nephilim" he replied, tilting his chin up stubbornly and throwing more fire at him, hoping to at least catch his clothes on fire. That would prove to be an advantage. He knew if he kept getting distracted he would be in trouble, but he couldn't just leave Alec to fight against Sebastian without any help. Hopefully Isabelle would finish Clary off soon enough and be able to help her brother. The two against him should at least be better.

Sebastian chuckled darkly as he parried the blow of Alec's sword, which looked like a rather pathetic attempt to get him away. In his eyes at least. He pushed against his opponent's blade lightly, but he took a few steps back, and then darting around front. "What's wrong Shadowhunter? No noise? Cat got your tongue?" he thought of the oddly shaped pupils of the High Warlock, which in that sense the jibe could be taken a few different ways. "Or are you just a masochist? Because playing with a masochist is never fun. They don't give the satisfaction of letting me know how much I can make it hurt" he dipped back behind Alec, not striking but waiting for Alec to take initiative and attack him first.

[Nyako-Chan]

Fighting with weapons, Isabelle had decided, was a little unfair when Clary was your opponent. That's why she had tossed her cut whip to the ground and dove for the red head, who was caught off guard and hit her head on the floor with a loud smack. Hollow sounding, just as Isabelle suspected. She wrestled the sword from Clary's grip no problem, using the hilt to knock her out cold. She smacked her head once more for good measure, even though it did make her head bleed. She removed herself from the girl, brushing hair out of her eyes before calling to Magnus, "Help Alec, I'll take on Jace!" Clary wasn't necessary to kill. Not right now. Jace, on the other hand, was harder, near impossible to subdue. She was going to kill her half-brother. She ran for him, intercepting the fireball throwing and greeting Jace's sword with the one she took from Clary.

Alec spun around to try to meet Sebastian behind him. He was a lot slower with reflexes than this inhuman Shadowhunter. He struck with the sword, but knew it was futile as Sebastian was too quick. Always, always too quick for any of them. Alec could hear Isabelle finishing with her battle and taking on Magnus' so the warlock could assist him instead. He was glad to have some help with this fight. He needed it. But he didn't want Magnus dead. Sebastian could kill him.

[RippedNose]

He was sure he heard a hollow smacking sound, like that of someone's head hitting the floor, glancing at Alec once more to make sure it wasn't him before advancing on Jace, only to pause when he heard Isabelle. He backed away quickly, turning to his precious Alec and his attacker once Isabelle's stolen blade met Jace's. He tossed a fireball in Sebastian's direction, careful not to hit Alec with it or anything, but he was sure that the super-charged Shadowhunter would dodge. At least he could keep Sebastian occupied? Or at least be there to stop Alec from getting hurt. He was thankful of Isabelle taking over, as nice as it would be to smash Jace's face into the ground for all he'd done to Alec.

Sebastian heard the hollow sound as well and deemed it as Clary right away, not even having to look. He growled slightly, seeing as their ranks were falling already, but Clary was the weak link, his sister or not. His sword met Alec's and he knocked it aside easily, grinning. He loved being a demon bi-product sometimes. At the call from Isabelle he rolled his eyes, dodging the fireball, half hoping he could shove Alec in front of it and see the warlock's face then, but even he wasn't fast enough by the time he had the idea. "Two on one? I don't see how that's fair" he mocked, ready to attack the warlock now, since he was allowed to kill that one.

[Nyako-Chan]

"One down, two to go," Isabelle growled at Jace, sword meeting his as they spun and dashed and cut at each other. All the days spent training were helping and hindering each other, because they knew the strengths and weaknesses of each other. Isabelle wasn't as good at the sword as Jace, but she could hold against him, and if she got lucky maybe outmatch him. She could play dirty too, if she had to. Magnus was helping Alec, so she was on her own, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Alec was a little surprised by the sudden fireball from Magnus but didn't show it. He had the upper hand now, technically. Technically if Sebastian were normal, they could win. But he wasn't, so it would still be near impossible to win unless Magnus put something on him to slow him down. Alec wanted to keep the other boy's attention to him so Magnus didn't die, because Magnus was allowed to, and so was Isabelle.

[RippedNose]

Magnus shifted through spells in his mind, trying to see what he could pull up that would be useful now. Something to make his feet stick to the floor! It was only temporary, but it was definitely worth it. He grinned in slight satisfaction when the blonde turned a glare on him, croching down slightly to brace himself and be ready to dodge while not able to move his feet. It would only last a minute so he and Alec had to take advantage of it. He stood beside Alec so he knew he wouldn't hit him by accident and threw more fire at him, hissing as the Shadowhunter still managed to get out of the way, the fire sailing over his head. Sebastian laughed, shaking his head. "Really, can't even hit me when my feet are stuck to the floor? What kind of Warlock are you?" he asked, getting a hard kick to the shins from Magnus's combat boots in response.

[Nyako-Chan]

Alec could hear the battle taunts going on behind them from Isabelle and Jace, shouting at each other, swords clashing and clanging, and he heard the play of words with Magnus and Sebastian. He saw that Sebastian was stuck fast by Magnus' spell, and after his warlock had missed the fireballs, Alec took his turn to try to run his sword through Sebastian. Could he avoid something at what was basically point blank range? Alec would follow through with a horizontal slash if Sebastian dodged his thrust.

[RippedNose]

Sebastian watched the two carefully, his body tense and ready to move as best he could when the attacks came. The kick to his shin had hurt, but it was nothin he couldn't handle. He was used to the pain. He saw the flash of Alec's sword and he tried to shif to the side and down, but he wasn't fast enough for once, and felt it peirce the skin. He hissed slightly and could almost hear the smirk that he knew would be on Magnus's face, which when he looked up, sure enough, was. The warlock grabbed his hair and sent jolts of electricity through hihs body from the fingers touching his scalp, causing him to see start, but only for a moment. Then that moment was over and he grabbed that arm, twisting it and swiping one of his now-freed legs under the warlock's, satisfied when he heard him fall, cursing slightly. Still in the same motion, he turned and aimed a kick at the pregnant Shadowhunter's gut, knowing that was a cheap shot, but what did he care for that? It wouldn't damage the child. His father would kill him if he did, but it would sure as hell hurt, he expected. If he landed it that is.

[Nyako-Chan]

The last thing Alec had expected was the blow to actually land, and Magnus took another attack after Alec. Alec had turned briefly to see if Magnus was okay, only to find when he turned back Sebastian aiming a kick at his midsection. Alec stumbled back, falling, glad his perfect balance rune hadn't worked right now. Following instinct, Alec rolled out of the way of Sebastian, in case he had a follow up attack. Both of them couldn't be down while fighting, Alec jumped back up, ready to fight.

[RippedNose]

Magnus growled as he saw the kick connect with Alec, having no idea how much power had been behind that. If it hurt him or his child seriously Magnus would personally rip Sebastian apart bit by bit. Alec seemed alright, rolling and jumping up, but Shadowhunters were tough, and seemed to not show it when they were really hurt until it was too late. He got to his feet, flinching back as a sword was swung in his direction, barely missing him. He had no idea that Alec wasn't allowed to die here, not having been within hearing range at the beginning of the fight between the two of them. His gaze swept the room for a moment when Sebastian stepped back, apparently waiting again. Jace and Isabelle were fighting well, and then his gaze continued to where Clary had been lying on the ground. Except that. . . she wasn't?

[Nyako-Chan]

Only slightly sore from the kick that had made contact to him at the last minute, Alec tried to keep Sebastian occupied with him, getting as close as he dared and getting back quickly enough. It probably wasn't all the affective in the long run, because Sebastian could beat him in speed and strength any day. Alec just had to keep his attention away from Magnus. Where ever Magnus was looking, he'd be better if he were focusing on the battle between the three of them. Alec failed to notice Clary picking up Isabelle's dropped, cut whip and heading for him. For all he knew, she was still out of it.

[RippedNose]

Magnus glanced back to the less matched fighting pair moving back to fight just to catch a glimpse of something red. His head snapped around as he saw Clary, Isabelle's whip, broken, in her hand. He had no idea what had happened to the whip, but he didn't care at the moment. Alec didn't know she was there, and he couldn't be distracted while fighting Sebastian or he was dead. He conjured up more of his blue fire and moved closer to her, growling before he pretty much shoved it into her body at point-blankl range. He heard Sebastian's hiss and felt the bite of a blade on his back, just a slash, but he ignored it other than hissing in pain.

[Nyako-Chan]

Clary was dead, which was something Alec could totally wrap his mind around. Clary dead, sure, she was a friend, but he could live without her, and Jace must have been prepared to lose her when they decided to switch sides. Jace, as far as Alec could hear, said nothing. No one said anything about Clary's death. Just Magnus hissing and the sound of Jace and Izzy dueling. Alec went for Sebastian's neck with the sword, let down with himself because he had failed to keep his attention away from Magnus. Alec hadn't even known Clary was near him. His turn to save Magnus then.

[RippedNose]

Magnus looked from Clary's dead body up, and his eyes widened slightly at the face that met his vision. Valentine stepped into the light in the cave-like room. "Come on boys" he said, voice ringing clear, eyes passing over his daughter dead on the floor and the warlock standing over her. "Wrap it up here. Let's go" he said, jerking a thumb into the darkness behind him before stepping back into it and leaving. Magnus turned just in time to see Sebastian grinning manically and sheathing his sword. He grabbed Alec's wrists and spun him around, letting go of the hand that didn't hold the sword to wrap one arm around his waist. He pulled Alec's back right against his chest, and Magnus would have been jealous if he hadn't been freaking out over the turn of events. But of course, Magnus Bane didn't freak out. At least not on the outside.
