It seemed that the one who intervened had been decidedly been taken care of, she had a problem to deal with. Her swarm had been successful, but now a tree was heading towards her and the champion. In ballform it was an easy dodge, but the human had no ballform, and instead had a tree. She quickly darted over to him as he was on the ground in great pain.
"Hold still Ryan, I can heal this." She began to fly around him, glowing with a brighter aura. Her healing was able to correct his ribs and get him back to being mobile, but an injury that severe would not go away immediately. The problem was that was her strongest heal, and she would be drained for a time. Hopefully there would be no more flying trees.
(OOC: Holy has cooled down, Titania spent her time healing Ryan's injuries. Swarm has 3 posts left and healing is now been set at 6 posts.)

. . .ow
Broken ribs hurt. A lot. Most people don't realize just how painful a broken limb is until they get one themselves. Its agony, like knives of fire being stabbed in to you. It was lucky that Ryan was used to such abuse, otherwise he would likely be completely crippled for the rest of the fight. It was also lucky that they happened to have a fairy on hand who was willing to heal him. As the restorative energies knitted his bone back together, Ryan gave the Fey Queen a nod of thanks for her assistance.
"Use that bow of yours to take down that ally of his, then we can focus our attention on the Black Knight himself. He said, before she flew away With that matter settled, he stood up and drew his sword while starting evenly at the Black Knight, Ryan crossed himself with his sword for good luck, before making a "come at me bro" gesture at the Black Knight.

‘Well at least that’s one issue dealt with…’ Clow thought as he gave himself a moment to admire his handy work. The girl seemed tightly bound, and wouldn’t cause trouble for the small group for some time. And even after the magic had run its course, Clow wasn’t sure what kind of fighting condition she would be in. But now he had to get his head back in the game. As he started to make his way to the current scene of the battle, he was greeted with the Black Knight rushing towards him. Well that certainly saved him a good bit of time, though he had to assume that he was on his own for now, as there was no time to check for the others.
Quickly the Kokiri armed his slingshot, really a rather easy thing to do, one of the few things it had over a bow. He then fired a bomb flower seed, aimed at the knight’s head. While it didn’t quite have the piercing, lasting force of an arrow, an explosion, especially one to the face had its own effectiveness. And with the slit in the helmet for his eyes, and the two being rather close at this point, it seemed like the most effective attack. Finally as the Knight armed his leg, the Kokiri screeched to a halt, firing off another shot.
He had little time to defend himself, or much to defend himself with, other then his clawed gauntlets, so it seemed the successes of the knights kick would be directly tied with Clow’s own attack. If either of his explosive bolts hit, both the force and the surprise may be enough to stop the kick, or at least weaken it force. But if not, it was pretty certain that Clow was about to get a belly full of super powered, armored foot.

(OOC: Finally recovering. Also Toast/Nikita has been skipped twice and ejected.)
As the vines grew tight around the young woman, she would pass out from the lack of air. Immediately after though, the vines would release her, and she would fall to the ground, unharmed but unconscious. She would be fine, she just needed to sleep it off.
As the slingshot was aimed, Dark Link was ready to take action. The little bomb seeds came flying towards him, and with no real effort from the dark knight, his head strafed left and right, avoiding the seeds that were aimed for the little slit in his helmet. So unfortunately for the Kokiri, the kick would strike true, punting the child of the forest and sending him several feet away, which was rather odd. Considering that the black knight had just been chucking trees and all.
As for the Champion that happened to be taunting him, Dark Link held out a hand in disbelief. The words from that one action were rather clear. "...Really?" It was obvious he was just trying to bait him. The black knight had literally just crushed his ribcage. The man would be down for the count if it weren't for the fairy. There was no way he was sincerely thinking he could actually beat the shade. There really couldn't have been more obvious of a trick. Nevertheless, Dark Link approached the Champion, closing the distance to just barely a foot away. The shade stared the champions in the eye. He made another motion. "I'm waiting." it said.

Titania wasn't exactly sure what Ryan was planning. Trying to bait someone with clearly superior skills wasn't exactly her idea of success. But if it was what he wanted to do, she wouldn't stop him.
She opened her mouth to protest, but decided that he could learn by example. In the meantime she could sit and wait for an opening, though that didn't seem likely, as this guy, as she originally thought, was not natural.
Instead, Titania took a vantage point above the battlefield. About five meters off of the ground, she had enough space to avoid any attempts to melee her, and the knight didn't seem to have any ranged weapons except for the ability to throw trees. She began to hold her holy magic, waiting for a moment when he was in combat. Hopefully Ryan's swordplay was in fact competent.
(OOC: Swarm at 2, heal at 5. Flew above the fight, waiting for Black Knight to be sufficiently distracted.)

Well, someone had to keep Ryan out of trouble, and it was probably better it be him. What better way to draw trouble from someone else than by being an even bigger troublemaker? There wasn't a way in his mind, so here he was waiting within the trees for an opportunity, to give Ryan a nice little opening with some breathing room. Taking the crossbows from his back, he charged a bit of wind magic into each of them and fired at the armored opponent.
The bolts of wind, arced through the air in wild and unpredictable patterns, aiming for the spot that they had been aimed. The soft spots of the armor, while the rest of it was solid, those soft parts were weaker, and with the piercing power of those shots, would hopefully cut right through into the flesh. Staying hidden til the closed in, he dropped to the ground, keeping the crossbows steadied on the opponent.
He'd give Ryan some long range cover and offer up a bit of distraction when needed, he did have the necessary items for that. A little bit of fun was in store on that front, he'd have to try warning the others a bit, if he could.
Summary:
Fired off two shots of Windsheer Shot towards the soft parts of the armor, to try weakening the opponent. Keeping his crossbows trained on the enemy fighting Ryan, has fun surprises waiting.

Oh, Maverick was here. That was a nice coincidence.
The big man usually liked to make an entrance, but it seemed that Maverick was learning the value of subtly. Ryan was so proud of him, after all that time trying to impress upon Maverick about the values of tact, it seems that some of it had finally gotten through. There was hope for the man yet it seemed, hopefully that potential wouldn't be cut short by the Black Knight.
Anyway, waxing aside, Ryan followed up on Maverick's surprise attack with an underhand swing, hoping that the unorthodox maneuver would land him a hit. So far the Knight had proven himself to be a highly capable fighter, they would need to be tricky and sneaky if they wanted to take this guy down.

(OOC: Clow, strike 1.)
It seemed that this had indeed attracted attention. Even if the hero himself didn't show up, he was certain that he would at least hear about it. It would be something that would hopefully set the guy off on his journey. Yes, that was the case. Now that he had fulfilled what he had come to do, he figured he could probably leave soon. Even if it meant standing up the newcomer. Though knowing how these people were, they'd probably take any sign of retreat as a heroic victory that bards should weave into song. Ah well, he figured he could let them have their little celebration. Bought him more time.
The shade could pick up on the howling of the wind bolts as they came towards him. Twisting his body sideways, the bolts sped past the weak points of his armor, heading towards Ryan. However, because of their wind element, the fog dissipated for a brief moment, showing again a glint of gold on the shade's arms. As for Ryan himself, Dark Link immediately noticed the fact it was an underhanded swing. He mentally grinned, he loved getting to do this trick whenever he got the chance. Granted, it was never as satisfying as when he did it to the Hero of Time, but it was fun nonetheless.
Moving his legs at just the right time, Dark Link made a small hop, landing right on the edge of the blade, not even taking damage from this. As the underhanded swing continued upward, the shade used the momentum to launch himself over the Human Champion. Granted, with the Hero, he took a cheap shot, but he figured that his job here was done, so there was really no point to stick around. This incident would get around, he knew that much.
Having successfully dodged the assaults, the Black Knight looked back at his adversaries, gave a casual shrug, a taunt of sorts. With that, he turned his back to them once again, and started to casually walk away.
He was curious though, would they really think to pursue? Or would they just let him go, resigning themselves to the fact that he was someone that probably couldn't be killed as they were at this moment. Plus he was certain the people of Ordon, and the Hero would hear about this. He had heard about the Champion's nature to an extent. If they didn't whisper about the event amongst themselves, the Champion would likely alert them to this new threat anyway.

(OOC: Swarm 1, Heal 4)
Titania watched from above as the black knight avoided all of their attacks. From above, she got a glimpse of the shine of gold on his arms. Very intriguing point to notice. As the battle raged on, the black knight went and...left? Just like that? What an odd thing to do. As he walked away she came down to the ground and reverted to her human form. She looked to each of the three before her and shook her head no, though she expected her council to fall on deaf ears.
"Let him go. There's nothing that can be done here. Besides, it's only a matter of time before he has to pass through Faron province. Another time people, another time." She struggled to let him go, but the decision was easy to make. He had bested them, there was no doubt. She looked over to the other girl, passed out in the field. That was certainly an odd one.
(OOC: Took option 1, tried to convince the party to do the same.)

So, despite having the tactical edge at the moment, the Black Knight decided that he would flee the scene. interesting. It was clear that his goal was not simply bloodshed, but in fact something else entirely. Exactly what it was or if he had completed it or not was unknown at this time, but Ryan was going to find out sooner or later who this individual was, and how much force it took to put his head on a pike.
"Agreed, considering how he has assaulted two Leaders, the man has just signed his death warrant. There will be bounties all over Hyrule now, with this man's highly distinctive armor on it." Admittedly, they didn't know what the man looked like under that armor, but since it was highly unique it was unlikely that he would be able to go very far. Even if he chose to ditch or sell the armor, it would just give the scryers a sympathetic link to trace him. Either way, his days were numbered.

It seemed that the attacks had been pointless, but then the enemy broke off its attack and fled from them. Narrowing his eyes slightly, something seemed strange to him about the whole situation. Walking over to the others, he was far too bothered by the fact that the enemy ran away to even let his natural instincts take over. Right now, he was in battle mode, so it would be hard pressed to get him to be his old, goofy self for a bit.
"That's assuming he keeps wearing it like he is now. He stashes it somewhere, well, there's not a lot we can do." he shrugged slightly. If the armor was up on the posters, it'd be great for spotting someone IN the armor. If they stashed it somewhere, then they would need to find it would be pointless searching for it.
Putting the crossbows away, he glanced back towards the direction the armored foe ran off in. What the hell did it go running off like that for? That would be bugging him for a while now.

(Quite sorry for the delays, the holidays took a bit of a tole on me xD)
The Kokiri fell back ways, clutching his aching body and rolling on his front in a violent pant. He had his strategies, as well as a fighting spirit, but he was undeniably fragile when compared to most others. Trying to pick himself up, he coughed rapidly, sounding far worse than his actual injuries entailed, though a bit of blood still stain his small hand, as well as the grass bellow. He looked up at what was left of the combat, and was shocked at what he saw. The enemy was retreating rather casually, and the others were doing nothing.
Glancing down at his crimson stains and looking back at the scene in front of him caused his blood to boil. This wasn’t some sort of gallant battle for the day, for honor, or justice, not for him. Clow wasn’t in this to groom his ego, or even for the good of the town. If that was the case, he would have been fine simply being able to remove one of the opposing forces out of the fight. No, Clow wanted answers. This figure, of unknown origins had pure come out of nowhere, and began to just stir things up, for seemingly no reason. That was not enough for Clow, he had to know why. Not only that, but with his feral instinct’s coming to the surface his rage was reach an apex abnormal for him in everyday life. The knight may not have desired further combat, the kokiri did, and he was out for blood.
Getting to his feet, snarling, he shrugging off his injuries and had a distinctly chilling look in his eye. This most likely more so as he maintained the appearances of a child. Then with no warning, he made a mad dash, far faster than before. He was no longer rational by any means, no tactics, no clever ideas, but in exchange, he had speed and strength he couldn’t match before hand. It was his last ditch effort, his finally skill to perhaps surpass the weaknesses he was born into. He was about to unleash all he could on the shadowy foe, trying to so smugly walk away from what he had started. Full of momentum and power, he swiped his claws at the glowing marks. He wasn’t sure what they meant at this point, but they were different, and on utter display, instinct simply told him to claw, and gnash, until the thing before him stopped moving. Whether it was wise or not, the kokiri was determined, and now too far gone to retract his assault, and for now he didn’t care in the least.

Due to Ryan's inability to get out of the way, Maverick's two wind shots slammed into the Human Champion. Honestly, Mav probably would've been better off shooting from the side, but noooooo! He had to do what everyone else thought to do and shoot from the back, and thanks to that, Ryan had gotten shot. Twice. Great job, Mav, way to go.
It seemed like they were going to be smart enough to let him go. Though he had to admit, he kept an ear open for their words. "Dumbass..." Dark Link thought in response to the Champion's words. Apparently, the Champion had forgotten that the way this entire fight started was due to him attempting an assassination, with the Fairy Queen tossing white magic at him. To the shade, if anything, then Ryan would technically be the one with attempted murder, and the Queen with assault. Unless defending yourself against a leader was some kind of crime, or something.
And then there was Maverick's suggestion. Truth be told, Dark Link didn't really need to worry. Dude could shapeshift, and he was tempted to show it off right there. But no, he didn't, the shapeshifting was a card that if he could keep concealed, would aid him on an unrivaled level. Rather, he'd just get the others annoyed with Maverick. The Black Knight spun around, pointed at Maverick, pointed his finger back at his own skull, and then gave the guy a thumbs up. The translation? "Thanks for the idea!"
However, it was a good thing that he did turn. He saw a Kokiri rushing towards him, in rage. It was the same Kokiri that he punted. Inwardly, he sighed. He knew for a fact that everyone would suddenly be overwhelmed with VALIANT, HEROIC COURAGE TO SAVE THE WEAK and would start round two. Nevertheless, he had to fight back somewhat.
So the Black Knight easily moved to the left to avoid the Kokiri's brazen and frenzied assault, and brought his right arm swinging at the Kokiri, with full strength, aiming to slam his arm into the Kokiri's gut, hoping to knock the wind out of the little guy and break a few ribs.

Titania felt no such urge. Rather than defend the weak, she thought more to punish the foolish. The battle was over, they had lost the fight, there was no need for a backhanded swipe like that.
Facepalming and sighing, Titania could merely stand there and watch the fireworks display. Poor kid went way over his head with that one.
"Well somebody had to be the rebellious one" she said in jest as Clow charged at Dark Link. It would only end poorly for Clow, and she'd be there to heal him when he was sufficiently bloodied.

So, here Maverick had thought that Kokiri were generally intelligent creatures. Well, this one seemed to want to prove his thoughts wrong as it went charging after the dark knight, only to not even make contact. Really, why was that little runt so damn gung-ho about fighting this knight? Was there really something that important that this idiot wanted from this?
"Honestly, I say we let him take the lickings, but it's up to you Ryan. Feel like stirring up some more trouble?" he turned to his friend. They were both known for doing some pretty stupid things themselves, but hey, at least they were formidable as a team. So, if there was going to be trouble again, might as well have it be from the two biggest troublemakers around.
He crossed his arms, though really, he was just putting his hands on the crossbows once more that he put away. He could offer the role of at least some ranged support if Ryan wanted to go rushing in. Either way, he had ideas of what he could do.
