((What, no Tonks yet? I thought she left the wedding with Ally and the rest.))
"Good to see you, to, mia colomba," he replied fondly, actions conflicting with words as he viciously slashed at a person in front of him, removing their head.
The arrival of Jared signaled the beginning of the end of the battle in the hallway. Soon, they were regrouping and getting their breathe back before joining the downstairs battle. Jared, to his credit, seemed unruffled and calm as ever. Leo would have to find out how the mute managed that.
Downstairs, Ally joined Sophie and Gabe in fighting while Gabe parried, blocked, cut and hexed. The entire time he did this, he carefully, secretly, watched over Sophie and made sure to protect her back. She clearly didn't handle a sword often. She tried hard, but looked almost humorous when compared to Ally's fluid grace.

((She's slower than most.. plus she keeps tripping..))
Lianna tossed her head back, how long was this going to last? She was last to get down the stairs, although they looked like they didn't need her help. She sat on the landing and watched everyone. "Go team." she said drawing a circle in the air with her finger, she'd had her fill of action, now she was tired.
Sophie kept the sword in her hand then fell on her butt, she winced from the pain but got back up this was harder work than she had to do with death eaters.. She held the sword over her head to block any head attacks and shot about ten stunning spells with her wand. "How do you guys handle this stuff?" She asked.
Tonks was outside trying hard to keep everyone who was advancing on the place out. She really wanted to help but she was expecting duels, not sword play! She glanced around, why in the world were they trying to destroy this place? She hadn't really been paying attention when it was said, she was too busy thinking about where she wanted to go for a honey moon.. Spain, America, South America.. So many choices with beaches!

Leo laughed softly and turned his attention to the slowly thinning mob downstairs. He joined Gabe, Ally, Jay and that other woman he didn't recognize in attempting to thin out the crowd. Their degree of effectiveness was debatable, but it looked like the situation was gradually improving. He wound up at Jared's back.
When Sophie fell, Gabe smoothly moved in front of her and disarmed one of her attackers. That same attached was promptly cut nearly in half.
"Practice. Training. Breeding...all of the above," he decided.
Noticing a man about to attack the other Metamorphagus (her hair color was a dead giveaway), Pyre decided to use the sword in her hand like a javelin. Her aim was good, better than usual that night, and he was brought down. She caught the wrist of her next opponent, took the sword from their hand and threw them off of the roof.

Remus was really surprised when he arrived, finding pszople wielding swords. Remus was sticking close to Tonks helping make sure people who were trying to get in stay outside. Remus was using his wand, until some kid from nearby, tossed him a sword. He picked it up, not really knowing how to wield it, blocking blows and firing his wand when he could. No one would hurt his wife or family. He was so clumsy with the sword, but it was easier to block people attacking him with one so he just went with it.
Teddy was fighting like crazy, and upon learning that this would be a... Sword fight? Teddy quickly managed to disarm someone after a few spells he had up his sleeve, forcing the sword out of their hand. After a bit, Teddy discovered he sucked with a sword, and so he thought, 'Screw this', throwing the sword towards an enemy deciding to use only his wand.

Pyre was backed up by one of the attackers on the roof as she began to tire out. Finally, he succeeded in sending her over the edge.
"SHIT!!!" she shrieked, twisting around to catch the edge.
Ally, hearing her cousin's shout, whirled around to find little Pyre dangling from the edge. Much as she wanted to save the girl (No...not Pyre...), she found herself surrounded and unable to help her. She sent up a silent prayer that somebody else managed to save Pyre as she returned to the battle. Of Pyre did die, though, she would make sure to keep Jared away from his sister. He didn't need to see that.

Remus was doing terribly. He didn't know how to use a sword and really felt he wasn't helping very much. However, when he saw the girl, who Remus knew was on their side, as she attacked one who attacked his Dora, Remus hurried over to the edge, kneeling down, offering his hand to her, "Grab my hand, I'll pull you up." He really didn't look like he was ready for a fight in his tux, though it was quite messed up by this point. Hey, he just came from his wedding, thank you very much!
Damn it all to damning hell! Teddy thought this as a thin red slash got him in the chest. Teddy then retaliated with a hex which effectively made the attacker unable to attack for a long while. "That's what yoi get for ruining my tux! It's a rental," Teddy shouted at his attacker, applying a simple healing spell which made the cut not bleed at least. Teddy began fighting once more.

Pyre grinned brightly and accepted the offered help. She hadn't been expecting it; she had to admit that she was pleasantly surprised. She didn't recognize the man, but she assumed that it had been his wedding that Lady Cassiopeia and Lord Aurelius were attending. Once back up on the roof, she stretched and took a deep breathe, wincing when a few injuries reopened (she sucked at healing and therefore left them alone).
"Grazie! Congratulations on your wedding by the way! I'm terribly sorry," she cut herself off to turn around and kick an incoming attacker in the chest, catching his weapon easily before continuing. "About all this."
Ally noticed that one Metamorphagus struggling and moved to help him. She couldn't help but wish that her siblings were there to help as she hacked and slashed a path clear.
"Don't bother trying to leave them alive!" she called to the boy in the tux. "They'll just be executed for treason later, anyway!"

"Thank you, and I am happy to help," Remus said, firing a few curses, including a particular green one, "Here." Remu wasn't the best on healing, but he knew a good few healing spells. Especially in the last few weeks, he had made sure to learn more after what happened with Teddy. He preformed a few healing spells which wouldn't heal her wounds completely, but at least help with them. "Better?" Remus asked turning, barely blocking a hit with his sword, sending a curse after the attacker.
"I don't kill!" Teddy shouted back, not even thinking of wanting to actually kill someone, "I let the system take out people like this!" He wasn't going to end a life. "Plus, they might have infomation of use," Teddy added. It was something Uncle Harry liked about him. He was able to bring them back alive and get information from them without Legimacy or the truth potion.

Lianna watched the fight, oh how she loved to watch the macho fight while she sat back and watched. She thought she heard something and looked over her shoulder. She stood up and took her knife from the floor. She walked toward the sound of shuffleing feet.
Tonks had no chance... these people were faster, stronger and had a lot more practice at all of this. She kept shooting off spells, stun after stun. They just kept coming. "Who are these people again?"
Sophie kept going, she had to keep fighting for Gabe, for her brother, she didn't even know if her brother had been there. She had to do this though, she just had to.

"Ah...si, grazie," she thanked him happily.
The next person that came at her caught a bone-shattering roundhouse kick to the side of their head. She watched the man's hold on the sword and realized the problem.
"Hold it like this!" she called, demonstrating the proper way to hold a sword before smashing the pommel of her sword into another person's face.
A loud pop and a familiar green curse hitting the invader beside her caused Pyre to turn around. When she saw the source of the curse (who had most certainly caused the sudden retreat; any Italian worth their wand avoided conflict with the Demon of Rome), she smiled widely.
"Mama!"
Ally growled softly and rolled her eyes, driving the side of her blade into the side of an assailant. These damned Brita and their morals...
"That's not how it works in our homeland! If you don't kill them, they'll kill you!" she reminded the boy.
When she heard several loud pops and a distinctly female laugh, she turned to find that her brother and younger-sister had Side-Along Apperated to the Salla. It had been her sister that laughed; Lore had always been confident.
While Lore helped their newly-appeared aunts launch a counter-attack and drive off the enemies, Alistair apparently decided to give the boy a quick lesson in handling a sword.
"You hold it like this," he stated, demonstrating. "Block like this and attack like this and this..."
She turned her attention from Al's impromptu demonstration to the interior of the building. Her leg hurt like hell, and she probably had a concussion, but she didn't want to leave the rest to flounder in there.
Meanwhile, Gabe jumped when somebody tapped on his shoulder and turned to find his mother standing in front of him. His other aunt and a few of his cousins began driving back the suddenly scared intruders that had seen his aunt Marisol.
"Your sister's here. Go get your injuries checked out," she commanded before vanishing out the door after the attackers.

Lianna continued down the hall, where was Shep? She got to Leo's room and looked in, he was sleeping now? When did that happen? She turned around and gasped. She took a step back and then remembered she did have a knife. She used it to try to get them back out into the hall but they got her by the throat. She choked and gagged she had to get away.
The person chuckled, "Any last words, Marie?"
She spat and cut their arm and ran. She got back to the landing and wasn't going down into all of that, she could get hit with a sword, or get hit by a mis-fire spell. Standing at the top of the stairwell she screamed, "LEO! LEO UP HERE!" she turned around to find her attacker down the hall. She was losing patience. "Leo, if you don't get up here now I am going to die." she took a step down keeping her eyes on the Auditore. In her head she prayed, prayed for peace after death, prayed that Leo would find someone she'd like him to have, prayed everything would be okay. A few tears fell from her eyes, she really didn't want to die.
Sophie fired off a few more spells, why did they seem to be getting closer than they had been? "Gabe, now would be a really good time to run.. Its sometimes a good thing to run with your tail between your legs and I think it would work now." she blocked with the sword, but it wasn't a very good block, "I can't kill these people, I hardly know them and I don't have anything against them!"
Tonks tripped and hit her butt again, she just couldn't win.. She stunned someone and then recieved a nice cut on her arm. Wow did it hurt. She stood back up and her hair was the color of fire. "You. Cut. Me." she glared. She looked kind of like a demon. She made devil horns grow out of her head and made them fly back into about three more people then went back to looking like an angel with a bleeding arm. She bit her lip to hide the fact that she was ready to cry again.

"Oh ok," Remus said adjusting his sword the way she said. If they were going to help some other time, then he would need a lesson in how to wield this sword correctly. However, just holding the sword correctly made it much easier. He didn't understand why it looked some were retreating. And then he felt bad for not even paying attention to Dora. He quickly made his way to Tonks when she had gone ballistic and looked like a sort of demon hitting someone into three others. That was scary, but he was discouraged. He was there when she calmed down, wrapping one arm around her and defending with the sword in the other hand. "Are you ok, Dora?"
"Yeah, but not here!" Teddy shouted in response. Hey, he valued life of even those who wanted to end his life. When Alisrar taught him how to use a sword, he grudgingly accepted it and actually began using the sword. "Ok, I'll give it a try," Teddy replied to Alistair with a smile, turning his head towards the enemy that wasbeing driven back. The thing was, he couldn't use his wand if he used the sword and he couldn't use the sword if he used his wand. Deciding he might as try just a sword, he attacked just as the Alistair guy said. His enemy attacked him with a side swipe, so Teddy ducked, slashing at their feet, and being parried. When the enemy made a jab for Teddy had it stab right through his hand, holding it with his now pierced throught hand, managing to keep it still, before stabbing a non-vital place, causing his enemy to fall, and Teddy to bleed on his hand. Yeah, whatholding the sword through his ever, it wasn't anything that really hurt him anyways.

When Leo heard Lia scream and saw his sister Apperate into the battle at the same time, he bolted. He was up the stairs faster than he'd ever been in his life and yanked Lia behind him, glowering at the Auditore. It was a young man that he recognized as being Piero Auditore. The little asshole had been following him everywhere he went since he visited Sardinia (where the Auditore were supposed to have no power since the island was the homebase of the Cavaliere).
"Come on, then, boy," he growled.
Pyre smiled at Lupin brightly before going back to the fight against ever-thinning numbers as news of the arrival of the adul Cavaliere and Mich Angeli (who had a fearsome reputation in her own right) spread. She didn't see him go to his wife, but that's what she guessed he did. That's what she would've done if she were him.
When Marisol noticed the surrounded married couple (the Auditore were clearly trying to get in their last laugh), she decided to help them out since she recongized the man as being the one that saved her daughter earlier. Faster than the enemy could've noticed to prevent, she cut down two of them. When the others noticed her, one of them shouted "il Demonio!" to raise the alarm before they Apperated away. Hn. So the flee-on-sight orders regarding her and her siblings from the last civil war were standing. That was interesting.
With the murmur of the previously shouted two words spreading through the crowd, even more opponents started vanishing into the night. Alistair, Ally and Lore ((Talon=Lore's other nickname)) met back up along with the boy Metamorphagus. Al eyed the boy's hand.
"You should get Seline to look at that," he suggested.
Gabe heard the words il Demonio spreading through the crowd of Auditore like wildfire. Many of them simply abandoned the fight and left. The ones that didn't were panicked and easily taken down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his aunt Maria helping Sophie. Well, at least this was all nearly over.

Tonks shook her head, "No one of them cut me, and it hurts like crazy!" she said willing her tears not to spill over. The crowd around them was leaving, that meant something good right? Like they were winning? Although it still looked like a six to one fight, atleast they were leaving!
Lianna took a deep breath, she was sure she was dead. She pulled out her wand and said, "Protego!" and Peiro went flying, "Thank you for helping, I was sure I was dead, and I think he shot my Shep with a tranqulizer. Poor puppy's passed out on your bed." she pouted, "Don't leave though, I think there's more hiding up here and I didn't kill him." She pointed at the body that was now getting up.
Sophie did a quick change and barked rabidly. If her brother heard her, bonus, if not oh well ateast she scared a few more back.

"It's ok, it's ok," Remus sighed, pointing his wand at her arm. He casted the same spells as he did with Pyre, making the pain supressed and the cuts heal slightly. He was no healer so he wasn't the best to be doing all this healing. He turned seeing some woman whom people seemed to run from. He sure hoped they were ok. He really felt like they were getting in the way, but that was probably just his imagination.
"I'm fine, she can worry about healing someone else," Teddy said with a smile, cursing at how much it hurton the inside. He heard barking. So familiar. Teddy turned and saw a dog he knew very well. He ran over to the dog and hugged it, with his bloody hand and all. "I thought you were going home."
