Gym: Advent of ⑨
Having tried for a bit to open the door, Cirno finally gives up with a sigh. She places her hand on the door, almost instantly freezing it. Then, in one fluid and rapid movement, she takes her Winner Sword out of its sheathe and breaks the door down with the round edges of the sword.
"Why even bother locking this place up" she wonders, " The owner should know it'll cost him a door every time he does so. "
She then steps into the arena and begins warming up, waiting for an opponent to spar against.
*Gamma walks in, looking at the poor area where the door used to be with a sigh*
Can you go anywhere without trying to break something? Honestly, the door doesn't deserve this.
"It's the door's fault for standing in my way" she answers with sass. "So, are you up for a little round of training? No need to go all out, just a friendly match to see what I can do in this weird world I came to. You never know, things may be different here from back in Gensokyo!"
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head*
Ok, first off, its a door. Not like it chose to stand there. Secondly, weird's not the half of it, but enough talking then. Shiranui, Maeigaon.
*Gamma snaps his fingers as his persona roars into life. 4 tendrils of darkness lash out of the ground around Cirno, aiming to latch onto her and prevent movement*
Wow! You're quick to act aren't you! * She briskly takes her two waffer blades out and throws them at two of the tendrils while a bunch of ice pillars surge from her feet to block the other two* it'd be annoying if you blocked my swordplay with that creepy pervy tentacle stuff!
*She then takes out her large Winner blade and her Watermelon Edge and runs in to close the gap between her and Gamma*
Ready or not, here I come!!!
*The two tendrils from behind are completely blocked by the ice, and soon retract into the floor. the other two stick to the wafer blades, latching onto them and dragging them into the ground*
Quick to.... You're the one who asked me in the first place. Made it sound like you were waiting. A... Anyways Shiranui.... Cirno's an ice fairy, so...
Deathbound.
*Gamma's persona roars again and sends out a wave of force directly at Cirno.*
Cirno, still running towards her opponent fails to notice the force wave speeding towards her in time. She tries to jump over it, but her feet get caught in the attack, making her fall over. However, she manages to catch herself back up by creating a frozen pillar from her hand, which was "raised" towards the ground, to the ground. [this sentence looks pretty iffy....]
Still upside-down, she shouts out, "Alright! Now it's time for me to counter attack!" Ice spawns from the waffer blades, pushing them in cirno's direction. The ice then breaks off, effectively launching the blades towards her.
" Limit card! Meteobalde Rain!" * she takes out her two chocolate edges and throws them in as hard as she can in the sky. She then catches her waffer blades and does the same, the blades glisten in the sky as they keep travelling upwards. She then sends her two remaining blades too.
Having reached the peak of their flight, ice forms on the hilt of each blade, extending towards the other blades. Icy lances then send each blade flying at high velocity towards Gamma.
In a matter of seconds, Gamma gets bombed by a flight of frozen swords.
[think meteorain but with ice swords, or think archer emyia from the fate series's attacks, if instead of firing swords with his bow he fired them in the sky and they then fly towards the enemy from there. Also, keep in mind I come up with these things on the fly, they're prototypes they won't be as such in the final game]
*The wafer blades are launched into the air, only to be dragged back down in short order by the attached tendrils. Gamma laughs as he watches them*
Ha. Nice try there. Afraid those things aren't goi---
*Gamma is struck by the first blade, it is only a glancing blow, and allows him to react quickly to the others. He attempts to parry them with his staff, only for the first one to knock it out of his grasp, and allowing the other two to hit home Gamma is out of breath*
I... I thought you used ice. Where did that come from. Nevermind... Shiranui, Eigaon
*three tendrils of darkness come out of Gamma's sleeve for him to grab. Gamma swings them like a whip at Cirno, lashing out at her handstanding arm*
* She tries to jump up with her hand, but using limit cards is quite tiring, so she fails to avoid gamma's super hentai tentacles. She falls unevenly and lands on the ground next to the pillar she was hand-standing on* Ghhh... * she's still recovering from falling head first on the concrete ground*
*The tendrils successfully attach to Cirno's arm, and Gamma pauses for a second*
Normally I'd send ice, but that's not going to work here.... Better plan
Shiranui, Dormina
*Gamma's persona roars into life, before sending one blue flame down the tendril towards Cirno. Rather than burn or feel cold, the flame leaves behind a slight cool and feeling of exhaustion.*
S-Sleep spell..? * the drowsiness washing over her immediately begins to take effect, so she does the first thing to come to her mind. She forms a frost spear that bursts through her hand, leaving a gaping hole in her right hand* Gaaaah!!! Ugh.... This'll take some time to heal... * she then smirks* but don't think this is over yet... I've still got an ace up my sleeve! As long as I can control ice, my swords will always be under my control!!
* using countless thin, thread-like moveable ice columns, the blades that surround gamme lift off the ground. It's almost as though they were flying. While her Winner Sword makes it's way back to cirno, the two Chocolate edges and the Watermelon edge suddenly launch themselves using thick icy spikes that push them from the hilt, with the blades pointed towards his shoulders*
* Grabbing her Winner Sword, Cirno freezes its edge to make it cutting and hocks away at the tentacle gripping her hand*
*The tendrils initially bend with the blade, before snapping and latching onto the sword instead*
Well, turns out darkness isn't as solid as you'd think, is it?
*Gamma tugs on the whip, attempting to get the sword out of Cirno's hand*
*In the meanwhile, Cirno's swords strike Gamma in the back, causing him to fall over, still attempting to drag Cirno's Winner Sword down with him*
*gripping her sword in her left hand, instead of fighting back, she bounds forward, following the tendril's motion. She runs towards Gamma*
Here's another one! Limit Card: " Froster"
* she jumps up in the air, using the leeway she made in the dark tendril by suddenly rushing forward. she concentrates her ice powers in her blade, flips around to the side and puts her whole weight in the downward guillotine-like movement. Hitting the ground creates a wide frost blast which leaves diamond dust floating all around the room.*
No hard feelings!
*Gamma struggles to his feet, narrowly getting out of the way of the sword, he raises his arms to block the worst of the blast, leaving him chilled, but not particularly harmed. Regardless He seems a little pale*
Alright.... Close... Bit close... Shiranui, Deathbound.
*The dark tendril waves wildly as a wave of force is sent directly into it, it almost immediately connects with the Winner Sword, sending powerful vibrations through it and into Cirno's arm*
wawawawawawa~ * Shaky cirno is shaken. She rapidly drops the sword to make the shaking stop* Stop with the tentacles! It's disgusting! Are you into that kind of stuff?! it's gross!
* she then jumps back* Hmpf, this calls for a spell card! Ice sign " Thousand maws of Skadi"
* placing her hands on the ground, extremely thin yet solid and sharp spikes begin to sprout all around her, encircling her. They start small around her, but grow bigger and longer the further away they get. She uses the general chaos of the attack to get her Watermelon edge back by making it slide through the cracks of the spikes. Having regained a blade, she spins in a circular motion, releasing an icewave that breaks all the spikes, making sharp and pointy ice shards rain all over the room*
Shiranui, Ice Age
*Gamma quickly builds his own wall of ice, some of the smaller shards are able to get through, striking Gamma in the face and arms, before the brunt of the attack is blocked by his own ice. The tendril in his hand dissolves, leaving Cirno's Winner Sword on the ground*
Ok, first off, they're tendrils, not tentacles. Think of them more like cables, or bungie cords. DEFINITELY NOT TENTACLES.
Uh-huh. And my sword is definitely not a watermelon ice cone. * she picks up her various swords, placing them back in their respective sheathes* But that was a good match! Thanks for training with me! * she extends a hand to shake his*
*sigh* whatever.
I guess it was pretty good. Definitely a change from your usual.
*Gamma accepts Cirno's handshake with a smile*
My usual? you mean the old me is here too? Heh, it'd be weird meeting that dumb kid... But anyway. I have to go. I'll see you around Ice Man.
Later Cirno....
*Gamma leans against a wall with a sigh*
Oh great, more time shenanigans. Just what I needed in my life.
*A nervous child wanders through the door... He looks around at the empty gym, before walking over to a punching bag and hitting it a few times*
*Wanders on in, still well dressed from the stop at the Cave earlier.*
Hmm.... I wonder...
*Raidou walks through the door...hole and looks around the building with a nostalgic look on his face. It has been bit since he's visited, after all. The summoner walks over to the fridge and pulls out his usual addiction, Gouto meanwhile sits down not far away from Kuudere and wags his tail.*
"Not bad there kiddo, but hitting a sandbag won't help you much in the long run. You got yourself a sparring partner?"
*Kuu looks around occasionally as he exercises, soon catching sight of Migrant, he steps away, hiding his arms behind his back*
O... Oh. H... Hey kitty-lady... H. How long have you been here? I mean.... Not like I was doing anything.
*The child glances nervously at his feet, occasionally looking up at Migrant or the small arena*
*Kuu jumps when Gotou walks up to him, he looks around for a moment, before actually looking down at them*
I... WEll... No... I was... I mean... I wasn't doing anything... W... Why do you want to know?
Heh, looked like you were practicing.
Got a big jealous of the rest of us? *heh heh*
*The cat chuckles a bit, and hops up onto the counter next to his partner. Raidou himself isn't really interested in the conversation, and seems to be reading through a case file.*
"Nothing wrong with wanting to get tougher kid, nothing at all! No need to get flustered. Say, you know what we mainly use this building for, right? Why not find yourself a sparring partner? You'll get way further doing that then you will hitting a sandbag."
*Kuu blushes, and looks around a bit, before nervously looking at his feet*
M... Maybe... B... But I know I'm not supposed to do that sort of thing, so... Um... A... Are you mad kitty-lady?
*Kuu looks over to Raidou, and shifts his weight between his feet.*
I... Well... I couldn't.... I couldn't really ask anyone here to.... Um... "Spar"... Or whatever... B... Besides... Well, um... Y... You probably don't wanna see me fighitng.
{A blonde man would enter the building through the hole where a door should be. He'd approach the group with a wave upon seeing a familiar face.}
Hey Migrant! What are you all talking about?
{He crosses his left leg in front of his right and puts his arms behind his head.}
Oh no, not mad at all!
Actually, like this, we could probably fight and it wouldn't be weird.
*Waves to Cloud* Um.... hey there. I guess we're planning for a fight?
*Gouto springs off of the counter and onto the boy's head, pawing at his nose.*
"Aw come on, I'm sure we could figure something out, you'd be down for a quick match, right Raidou?"
*The summoner looks up from his reading and shakes his head no, before going back to work.*
"Come on Raidou don't be like that, you gotta train them while they're young. Why, just look at you! Besides you've been pouring over that for weeks. A break couldn't hurt."
*Either out of not wanting to argue with a cat, or maybe thinking he was right, Raidou closes the case file and stands up, stretching. He finishes, and nods to his partner with a smirk.*
"Alright, it's settled then, Whaddaya say, kid? Want to go a round with a Devil Summoner? Actually, with four people here, why don't we shake things up? How do teams of two sound?"
*Kuu nervously looks around at all the people gathered, hands behind his back*
W... Well.. Um... I ... Well... I don't know the most about fighting. B... But. I... Well, if none of you mind... I... Um... I guess I could...
*The child eagerly glances at the arena, but refuses to budge an inch*
{Staring at the hole for a moment she hesitantly walks in}
Umm hello i'm new here and would like to know if this is the book pit I was told about earlier. All the places around these parts oddly look the same.
*Kuu nearly jumps at the sound of a new voice, he quickly looks over to Alaina, before hiding behind Migrant*
U... H.. Hello... P.. Pretty lady... I.. I dunno anything about books here I'm afraid... I think this is used for exercise in stuff.. B... But well, we were about to start something.... I... If you wanna watch... I guess.
A fight huh?
{Cloud stands up straight as he brings his arms to his sides, looking at the other potential combatants. He shrugs and turns to Mig with a frown.}
One of them is just a child? What could they possibly....
{Cloud eyes Kuu once more as he pulls out a yellow orb from his pocket. Clutching the orb in his hand, he is surrounded by a yellow light as surprise washes over his face.}
Nevermind, that child...is something else!
{Cloud walks over and bends down to eye level with Kuu and reaches out a hand.}
What do you say we team up pal? My name's Cloud, Cloud Strife.
Hmph, I see I'm treated like what I normally am here. Oh well, I can have that weird cave-cafe fawn over me. Anyway I'll fight you, sure thing!
{She frowns at Kuudere's reaction and takes a step back}
Thank you for the offer but it appears I have made you uncomfortable. I'll just continue on my search for the fabled pit. I wouldn't want to fall behind on my studies after all.
{A nervous laugh escapes her lips as she makes for the door}
*Kuu steps out from behind Migrant, and waves to Cloud*
Um... J.... Just a moment... I... WEll.. I....
*Kuu runs over to Alaina and tugs on her sleeve*
S... Sorry miss.... I... w... Well... I've never been to good around people. D.... I'm not scared of you just.... Honestly this thing is still new to me....
*Gouto wags his tail triumphantly, and bounces off the boy's head. Raidou gives the newcomer a polite bow, as he goes and exchanges his usual bullets for the provided non-lethal variant and his metal sword with one of Kazuya's wooden training swords. "He won't mind", Raidou thinks to himself."
"Alright, so blondie over there is going to take the kid. Guess that leaves you with the cat over there, Raidou."
*The summoner nods, and gives Migrant a bow as well.*
Aww man, I've never done a two versus two before....
Hope I'm better at this than solos.
{She looks at Kuudere with surprise}
Oh I was not expecting this kind of reaction to my departure. There is really no need to apologize to me child i'm also pretty horrible with people.
{She blushes a bit as she look away from Kuudere}
I am also kind of new with people so I guess you lucked out with having to deal with me.
Aincrad walks in, sees the commotion and walks to one of the seats and watches. "Well this'll be interesting."
*Kuu looks back at the others then to Alaina*
W... Well... S... I... I would like to know you a bit better.... B... But I think kitty-lady and the big guys are waiting for me... Would you....
*Kuu looks down at his feet, before glancing back to Alaina*
S... Sorry... a.. Actually you probably don't wanna see me fight... I... Well... I'll stop bothering you....
*Kuu runs back to the arena, waiting for the others*
*Heads on to the arena.... a bit nervously, summoning a properly-sized saber!*
*Raidou sizes up his opponent as he walks to the arena, the Blondie looks tough, but he really wouldn't feel right summoning demons to fight a child. For now at least, he'll stick with just his weapons. Gouto plops down in the bar stool Raidou was occupying previously, almost as if guarding the case file the detective was looking at before.*
{Her eyes trail Kuudere as she nervously taps her fingers}
I could possibly stick around and watch this battles. For academic research purposes of course. Watching a fight would be pretty different for me.
{She frowns in contemplation}
I wonder if they will use just use their fists or some type of cheap prop like in the movies.
{Cloud offers a wave to Aincrad and Alaina before turning to the arena and walking towards Kuu. As he gets to the arena he approaches Kuu.}
So what's your thing kid? Black Mage? White Mage? You don't look like the type to be a monk, but you seem bare handed.
{He shrugs as he looks down at the kid before taking the Buster Sword off his back.}
This is my bread and butter, the Buster Sword. However I also use....
{Cloud grabs two orbs from his pocket, one yellow and one red, and puts them into the slots of his sword.}
...Materia, knowledge of the Ancients and the easiest way to use magic!
Umm... W... Well... I don't do much of anything really... B... But well... I guess... We should get started?
*Kuu seems filled with energy, a different sort from his usual nervousness as he calmly walks towards Raidou*
Aincrad waves back and leans back smiling. "Hmm so I get to see what he does. This'll be nice."
*Raidou is a bit unsure of what to do exactly. The kid is most certainly calmer before, and that's a little worrying. He shrugs and decides he'll just do what he always does with his problems. So, he draws his revolver and fires three shots at the kid, keeping his feet firmly planted where they are.*
{She takes a seat and curiously watches}
Is this some sort of role playing thing they are about to do? Whats with all this talk about magic and stuff.
So, two fighters and two casters, huh?
This'll go okay.
Aincrad slightly turns to Alaina. "Some of these guys hail from dimensions where magic does exist and varies from person to person. Odds are if someone here says they have it, they aren't making it up."
(Homura walks through the doors with a grin on her face and a cheerful air about her... As usual really)
Oh hello everyone how's it going!? Looks like an interesting match over there...
(She over hears the newcomer and giggles at how obviously new the girl is)
So you've never seen anything like magic before... Well I can't really blame you! I've only seen it recently myself honestly.
{Cloud smirks at the boy before putting his sword on his back. A yellow light shining around him as he puts his arms out, aiming at Kuu.}
Alrighty, Enemy Skill: Big Guard!
{A large diamond and sphere cloak both Cloud and Kuu before fading to be invisible. Along with the shapes comes a clock above their heads, the hands spinning wildly before the clock also disappears.}
{Magic Defense Up! Defense Up! Haste!}
*Kuu suddenly grins as the bullets come towards him, with the enhanced speed from Could, he is able to strike the rubber bullets with a covered part of his arm, swatting them to the side, as he rushes Raidou. His voice is still childish, but there's a creepy undertone to it.*
Come oooonnnn.... I just wanna play.... hehehe... I know you've got more...
{She lets her head drop into her hands and groans}
Figures that I would mess up bad enough to somehow end up in the magical land of magics. I would prefer any of the magic I experience to be in books thank you very much.
{Her eyes betray pure curiosity as she says this}
First magic then what pegasi? Actually wait none of you answer that.
Okay then... Okuninushi!
*Nothing....*
Okuninushi!!!
*Still nothing...*
Ah forget it, then.....
*instead of using her Persona, she instead seems to cast a spell! Dropping fireballs from the ceiling upon Cloud and Kuu!*
"Nah nothing that insane. What land do you think we live in? A fantasy medieval one?" He waves his hand in a dismissive gesture at her and grins. "Just talking cats, half cat people, and demon children." He then gestures to Kuu. "Hence why I have an inherent distrust of little kids willing to fight now."
*Raidou grimaces a bit, "What the hell?" he thinks to himself. He shakes his head and gets low, aiming a kick at the boy's ankles, and if it connects, follows it up with an upward slash from his sword. The slash isn't packing as much power as it could, seems he's trying to open the boy's defenses up to get hit by the fireballs.*
{She casually gets up and makes for the door}
Yeah nope I am out of all this crazy. I am just going to go back to looking for the one normal thing I can rely on. Books!
{She leaves quietly shutting the door behind her}
(Homura sighs at Aincrad's statement and looks over to him)
Great so you scared the poor girl off... And I certainly hope that "little kids willing to fight" doesn't include me too you jerk! First off I'm not a little kid, and also I'm not scary either!
(She rests her hands on her hips and smiles at Aincrad... Though it's only mostly friendly)
{Cloud grins as he looks up to the fireballs.}
Whew! This outta be good!
{He takes his blade off his back and leaps up to the flames. He'd push the fire back into each other, forming a single large orb. He winces at the heat as the sphere begins to crack ever so slightly.}
Take this!
{Still in the air with the orb of flame, Cloud pulls his sword over his head and strikes the ball of flame, attempting to spike the fireball onto Mig. Leaving Cloud to fall to the ground and landing and taking a knee, however he is left open as he goes to stand.}
*As soon as Raidou strikes Kuu's ankle, the child's hands seem to elongate, he is struck by the slash, and a green claw attaches to Raidou's sword-hand..... Claw? The child's hands are gone, replaced by two, wicked green claws. The child begins to dig into Raidou's arm, and he can feel his energy leaving his body*
hehehehehe.... Come on... Its like you're hardly trying..
*The nervous child can hardly be seen, as Kuu reaches towards Raidou's off hand with his left arm with a wicked grin*
Oh boy, oh boy, oh crud!
*She attempts to summon up enough water, or ice, or both to nullify out the fireball! She's able to lessen the damage from this method, but still gets knocked back from it. Her nice new outfit looking a bit singed.*
You're gonna pay for that!
*She focuses again and now drops lighting from the sky, through the roof, and toward Cloud!*
He looks over at Homura smiling back. "Don't get me wrong, I'm just being truthful. Yeah you aren't scary but," he points at Kuu, "you want to tell me that you pictured him like this back when he was nervous and stuttering? Sorry but that's terrifying. I rather not take any chances with anyone."
*Caught completely off-guard, Raidou panics at the boy's sudden change in demeanor. He twists his own body, and aims a harsh kick at the younger male's gut, hoping to give himself some space.*
{Cloud frowns at his partner as he stands, before looking up once more.}
I knew I sensed something off. However...
{Cloud brings his sword above himself to help blocking the lightning, however it does little to stop the torrent of electricity as more and more cracks appear in the sphere around him.}
Ha....haah....phew, tough customer, but not tough enough!
{Cloud dashes forwards with his enhanced speed, aiming directly for Mig.}
Take this!
{Cloud turns his blade backwards and rushes Mig with a heavy horizontal strike from the blunt end of the blade, aimed right for her side.}
*Tries to block but her small weapon is no match to the buster sword. She gets hit on the side with an almost audible thud as she topples sideways...*
Okay.... guess this weapon won't help....
*In a burst of light her weapon is changed out for a..n elaborate micstand staff? Yup!*
Let's try this, then!
*And then she takes this turn to get back up.*
*The child does nothing to protect himself from Raidou's kick, taking it full force, however with help from Cloud's shell, he's only slightly knocked back, Kuu takes Raidou's wooden sword with him, and stabs one claw into the leg used to kick him, draining energy from there instead*
heheh.... I... Is that it? I wanted more... No matter...
*Kuu looks into Raidou's eyes with a cold glee*
You're bright enough anyways
*Quickly losing stamina, Raidou decides to take off the kid gloves, and blindly draws a tube from the harness on his chest. It glows with a green light, but whatever demons waits onside won't be out for a turn. With his free hand, Raidou levels his revolver at the shoulder connected to the arm draining his leg and fires twice, hoping the close proximity will make up for his admittedly shaking hand.*
A microphone? Heh! Hahahaha! Let's jam out then!
{Cloud mounts his sword once again as he clears his throat, a yellow light forming again.}
Enemy Skill: Frog Song! Don't croak, ya hear me?
{Cloud then begins to belt out sounds that no human should make. A mixture of ribbits and cries escape his mouth as physical manifestations of the sound are sent towards Mig and Raidou. If the notes connect then they are afflicted with frog and sleep.}
*Raidou's shaky arm works out in his favor. One bullet hits its mark, bouncing harmlessly off the claw, but the other one manages to strike near the kid's eye, causing him to drop Raidou and cover it*
T... That's not exactly fair.... H... Hey!! Come back here you!!
*Kuu lunges forward in an attempt to grab Raidou's arm and begin draining again*
*Mig's reflexes from fighting Brave betray her as she attempts to dance to the beat!
.... She's turned into a frog, and a sleeping one at that....*
Aincrad just looks upon the chaos in the arena with pure bewilderment. "I... Well.... But...." He shakes his head and forms a ball of holy light and starts tossing and catching it. "Nope. That's too weird even for me to wrap,y head around."
*The tube concludes it's long process, and Belial emerges with a roar. The demon flies forward, grabbing Kuu by the head, and attempting to ram him into the ground. Raidou lunges forward as well, both in part to pin the boy to the ground, and to dodge the frog note and avoid Mig's fate.*
(Wrap my*)
{Cloud sneaks behind the sleeping Frogrant and readies his Buster Sword as if it were a wedge. He gauges the distance to Raidou using his rifleman training and readies his stance.}
I wonder if this will even work...normally the frog has to attack on its own, but this will still be priceless.
{Cloud brings the flat end of his blade to Frogrant before raising it back with a twist and slamming it back down, attempting to strike the frog and send it careening towards Raidou. Cloud would then lean against his sword as the speed buff runs out for him and Kuu.}
*Kuu is surprised by the demon's sudden appearance, getting knocked into the ground. Rather than resist, he stabs the demon's arm with his left claw, draining a little of their energy. The child laughs excitedly*
Here we go, here we go.... This is so much better.....
*noticing Raidou's attempt to help pin, him, Kuu gets irritated and points his right claw at him. A small disc can be seen in his palm, glowing red*
I don't care about you anymore, back off.
*A jet of flame shoots out of the disk, directly toward's Raidou's face*
*Goes FLYING toward Raidou.... this is officially comedic. Also still asleep for this turn.*
*Caught between a frog and a hard place, Raidou throws his cloak over his head and rolls to the side, having no choice but to leave Belial behind. He hopes that his now frogified partner won't have a run in with a certain bloodthirsty child, but there's no way he's touching that. He might look silly, but his cloak is at least flame retardant. Didn't stop his face from getting pretty badly singed, but hey at least he isn't dead. The summoner breathes heavily, putting his cloak back into it's usual position. The summoner mumbles to himself, at a loss for how one kid can be so godamn bloodthirsty. He stands up, drawing a second tube from his harness, and looking serious. The green light is particularly strong this time, and it envelops the entire arena in it's haunting glow.*
*Hits Belial and..... does exactly what she should do. Wake up, freak out, and try attacking the nearest thing. Probably Belial or Kuu....*
Aincrad raises his hand. "Sooooooo any chance that we can not be about to kill each other? I'm very worried as of now. And frogrant isn't really helping the comedy.... Okay yes she does but that's not the point."
*Said bloodthirsty child seems to calm down a little as he continues eating away at Belial's lifeforce, he slowly gets up, using the demon's own strength against it to push it do...... Belial is then touched by Migrant, suddenly transforming in the hands of the child..... Who is then touched by Belial... Turning into a very jumpy and confused frog*
"I.... Take back everything I just said. Please. Continue."
{Cloud looks on at the chaos he unleashed and stifles a laugh as he looks around at the strange aura around the arena. He lifts his blade up and charges towards Raidou.}
Hey pal! Heads up!
{Cloud would leap into the air and swing the blunt side of his blade down at Raidou.}
*Raidou looks up at Cloud, and throws the tube into the air. It's summoning concludes mid-flight, and an elaborately dressed skeleton wielding a red cape in his off hand and a curved sword in the other clashes with Cloud midair. A shockwave erupts across the arena as the blades clash, and Matador's cold, almost lifeless breathing is enough to send shivers down even the most hardened of soldiers. Given a brief moment of respite, Raidou walks over to the two frogs, and picks up his wooden sword. Taking a pretty decent golf stance, he takes a swing for the frogified child, hoping- no, praying to get him out of the way and fast.*
*The Frogrant, upon realizing the power it has, attempts to hop toward Cloud and hit him as he's landing from that strike!*
*Kuu, disoriented by his sudden loss of height, among other things, stumbles around dazed for a moment, before being struck by Raidou and flying directly towards Aincrad.*
{Struggling against the creature in midair, Cloud swallows hard as he is covered in a yellow light.}
Sorry pal....I'd tell you to block your nose but...you seem to lack one...try this, Enemy Skill: Bad Breath!
{He grins as he takes a deep breath and exhales a nasty spray at the creature inflicting any mix of poison, confusion, sleep, silence, small and frog.}
Haha!
{Cloud leans out of the clash as he falls to the ground and is caught off guard by Mig and is turned into a frog himself.}
Aincrads eyebrows raise as he sees Froguu flying straight at him. "Eh?" In less than a second it was over and Aincrad now hops on the floor, a mini top hat on his frog like body.
"RIBBIT!"
*Seeing his now frogified opponent, Raidou calmly returns Belial to his tube to recover, and does the same with Matador. It doesn't seem to be immediately feeling the effect of that breath attack, but he's seen better days for sure. Raidou then squats down next to CloudFrog and levels his revolver at him. he makes a "bang" noise with his mouth and pretends to fire it, as if to say that's game. he stands up, brushing himself off a bit, and leans in the sword, attempting to look like Cloud earlier. Unfortunately, a wooden katana is much less sturdy than a giant hunk of metal, and the blade snaps in two. Raidou twists one of his sideburns nervously, and pretends to walk away like he had nothing to do with that.*
*Froguu flops around, uncertainly, before attempting to find his way back to the arena.... With this new perspective he has no idea where that is and just keeps going in circles*
{Cloud grumbles a low croak as he hops towards Kuu and gives him a high-five, causing the two to return to their human forms.}
Well that blew up in my face something fierce.
{Cloud shakes his head as stretches and grabs his sword, putting it on his back.}
*Keeps hopping after Cloud, expecting him to do the right thing here.*
*as he
Aincrad ribbits and tries to jump onto the seats but over shoots and lands in the next row. He tries again and after a few attempts lands in front of Raidou. "Ribbit..." He hops towards him and tries to place a webbed foot on Raidou.
{Noticing the still hopping Frogrant, he digs through his pocket for a Maiden's Kiss and tosses it at Mig.}
Catch!
*Catches! And returns to normal! Woo!*
Blegh, yuck.... I swear if I ever fight you again I'm bringing some Amrita Soda.
I need some fish to make up for this....
*Kuu takes a few deep breaths as he returns to normal... He steps back from the others, and hides behind a sandbag*
I... I.... I'm sorry.... I... Well... I told you it was a bad idea....
Aincrad turns to the group and looks up at them. "Ribbit?"
Another one? I am never using that spell again....
{He tosses another Maiden's Kiss at Aincrad before walking over to Kuu.}
Hey, ya did good kiddo! Just got a bit too heated is all!
{He offers a warm smile and holds out his hand.}
It was a pleasure working with you!
Yeah, you were fine, Kuu. Just... maybe a bit over the top for a friendly fight. But in a life or death one, I'd pick you any day.
Aincrad jumps up at it and catches it, transforming mid jump and landing flat on his face. "Can we please agree to never speak of this again?"
*Kuu doesn't come out from behind the sandbag, he seems content to stay mostly out of sight*
I... I know, I,... I go a bit overboard... But I can't help myself.... Its always so bright when you're out there...
{Cloud retracts his hand and cocks his head to the side.}
Bright? What do you mean?
*Kuu shakes his head, looking around*
I.... Its nothing much, but well, its kinda like you people glow. A... and so I tend to go a little... Well, far when I see it.
{Cloud shrugs.}
Never heard of an ability like that, but it can't be all bad.
{Cloud begins to walk off but turns.}
Just don't fly too close to the sun, kid. I'd hate to see ya burned.
{Cloud offers a sincere smile before exiting the building.}
[Hazama pokes his head through the door...hole, looking around curiously.]
My my, this place sure hasn't changed much. I wonder how everyone who frequented this place is doing. Not that I really care, I have something to take care of.
[The slim man strides in casually, and starts poking around as if looking for something.]
*The arcstrider guardian transmats into the area whistling "Stand by me" Looking around* Let's see....
*Tatsuya walks through the... Fuck you bastards breaking his doors, he's bloody sick of this crap but he goes inside regardless of that*
What a... No evening is lovely who am I kidding? Nope i *the man spots Hazama skulking about as sneks are waiting t to do*
Well if it isn't my old pal captain Hazama... So then what brings you to this fine establishment tonight? *He raises an eyebrow at Haz, clearly expecting an attack at any moment*
*I whip out the sunshot hand cannon and spin it around* Anyone home?
Aincrad walks in still in a half state of shock, stumbling into the gym and into his normal seat. "What... Did... I... Just... See...."
He shakes his head and looks around finally noticing everyone. "Well devil arrives tonight. One reason why I shouldn't arrest you on the spot Haz."
He then nods to Tatsuya. "Heya bud, sorry about the door."
[The snek-like man perks up, and turns around to look at Tatsuya in the eye.]
My my, if it isn't my partner Tatsy. Well, since that little thing with the NPC has wrapped up, I suppose we aren't really partners any longer, are we? What a shame. Anyway, I simply came here looking for something of my own, I figured I might have left it lying around here during my last visit, no biggie really.
*My ghost scans aincrad* Ghost:An interesting attire!
Oh, if it isn't the pest. You can act righteous with me all you like, but if memory serves you refused to send a serial killer to rot in the slammer where it belonged. So, you're not in much of a position to talk.
He waves at the ghost. "I know it's awesome."
He then focuses on Hazama. "And pray tell, what is the logical conclusion to that? She ends up killing more to defend herself? No. The best way for that situation was the one I took. She's integrating with society. Learning. Making friends. And I'm happy for her."
*My ghost scans hazama* Ghost:psychotic behavior detected and weapons detected
(A large robot appears behind Aincrad as Hazama speaks.)
I knew I sensed Evil Energy....you, scoundrel! I implore you come quietly into custody for being an accomplice to a serial killer!
(The large robot reaches his larger arm out to Aincrad.)
Or I shall have to remove you with force. Killing is a serious offense to be tried inthe court of law before a judge and not a jester like yourself!
... So then care for a match Hazama? I just realized after all this time we've never fought have we.
*Tatsuya walks over to a ring drawing his chainblade and staring at Haz*
I'm not really sure about what happened to Setsuna or anything, and honestly? I'm not here for personal shit Hazama. Just came to train... So if you can agree not to try and kill each other then... Whatever I'm game.
*My ghost scans tatsuya* Ghost:You really like red.
Oh come on, I haven't even done anything! Besides, getting onto me for carrying weapons in a "world" such as this is like getting onto a farmer for killing rodents.
[Hazama then turns his attention to Aincrad, smiling.]
Go ahead and justify yourself however you like, but in the end YOU broke the law because you didn't think it lined up with your little friendship agenda. Now then, I have work to do here, so if you'll excuse me...
[The man's voice trails off, as he listens to Tatsuya's proposal. Under any other circumstance he'd say he hates violence or some crap, but with the pests here and his reason for coming in the first place...this is just the out he needs.]
Why, of course I could engage in a little sparring match! Anything for my good buddy Tatsuya! Come on, let's go have a friendly little competition!~
Aincrad looks at Hazama grinning at first. "Ha! See? Even he could sense your mal-"
He stops startled as the robot reaches for him. "First off, no. Nononononono. I helped stopped the killings. You want an accomplice?" He points at Hazama. "He brainwashed the kid."
He steps out of the robots reach. "Second, I know I look weird but I'm no jester." He points to the tophat. "I prefer gentleman."
He then leans on his cane. "Third, how does a normal prison or court deal with supernatural occurrences without several deaths. Answer me that."
He then turns to Hazama and Tatsuya. "Care to make it a three way? I just saw some shit and honestly need to let it out. Otherwise I may just go insane. Oh and btw Hazzy, I'm not as innocent as I act. I know that. It's called trying to be an example."
*I summon my arc empowered staff wanting to be involved in the challenge* Mind If I jump in?
[Hazama is already walking toward the arena, and turns to the two others.]
Get in line kiddos, Tatsuya asked first. Besides, I really doubt I could go five minutes with the uh, "gentleman" over there without trying to kill him. I hate hypocrites, ya see.
Yeah good luck putting me down pal
(The robot begins to change color in favor of a blue and black motif with lavender around his helm.)
Firstly, I sense Evil Energy in the air and you admit to assisting this woman. I shall punish him once he is weakened.
Secondly, a true gentleman doesn't impede the law.
Thirdly, this world isn't normal....I myself am proof of that. So I have no doubt that a defacto judicial system could guage the severity of supernatural crime.
(His large arm takes on the shape of a fabled dragon, Shiranui.)
Activating Dragon's Breath module. Now then, fiend, you shall alsobe tried for your crimes. And I will bring you to justice with the powers I've gained in this world!
(He aims the dragon faced cannon at Aincrad.)
Last chance, villain!
*A silver revolver appears in Tatsuya's hands as he darts at Hazama with his usual inhuman speed, the thief clothes he barely remembers forming over him as his steps speed up a bit more. Bullets flying from his gun aimed right for Hazama's chest intended more to wound or annoy than kill*
Alright then let's have some fun buddy! *He laughs a bit still continuing the charge and firing one more shot this time at the right leg joint* Obviously I'll take the first move yeah!?
*atone not aslobe jfc
Bastard!
[Hazama holds his hat in place, and a familiar green and black chain appears in front of him, blocking the bullets aimed for his chest. He tries to whip his leg out of the line of fire, but the bullet unfortunately still grazes his leg. Blood trickles out of the wound, it isn't deep, but it probably didn't feel good.]
Damn, you edgy red-wearing types never give me a chance to get ready, do ya?! Venom Sword!
[He throws one hand forward, and two green spikes of what appears to be magic fly about two feet in front of Hazama. From the looks of things, it's more to give himself breathing room and open Tatsuya up then to do damage.]
"Okay, at what point did I say I assisted her?!" He looks at Duo his flaring.
"I specifically said I stopped her killings and brought her to a level where she doesn't kill! She's safe now! Making friends! Havin- you know what? Fuck it. You aren't gonna listen? Fine. But I'm not about to have a massacre within the justice system and the prisons because people think they are ready. Prove it to me little robot. Prove to me this justice system can be trusted to hold super criminals." He points his cane at Duo. "But I am not going to let you just stand there and try to arrest me for reintegrating a damaged and broken person into society, instead of trying to erase the man who broke them. So come at me you lame excuse for a toaster oven!"
THE WHEELS OF FATE ARE TURNING!
OOC: Have a special battle theme. Ragna and Tatsuya are similar enough...right? This totally isn't an excuse for me to use this mashup, not at all.
You may have stopped the killings but she has yet to be tried. And that is where heroes come in! To keep criminals in check!
(The maw of the dragon cannon opens wide.)
You shall also face justice! You're too lenient and that shall be your undoing, fiend! And I am a lot cooler than a toaster oven, I assure you!
(From the cannon comes a beam of ice aimed at Aincrad's legs.)
*Tatsuya bats one spike away with his gun, the other landing slightly painfully in his left arm. Though it's more annoying than hindering for the "edgy red wearing type"*
Like you wouldn't do the same if I hadn't Haz!?
*His eyes glow with what looks like fire before he makes one final dash, darting about 15 feet and closing melee. In a burst of heat Apollo Appears behind Tatsuya, roaring flames spreading from his other self as the man smirks at Hazama*
Let's see if my anti Gamma tactic works on you too Snake Guy!
*The burning air combines into a small 10 foot high 15 foot round dome of flames, the heat simply washing over Tatsuya as his gun vanishes and he dips a fist into the fire, sending a quick blazing jab at Hazama's face with a look that would unnerve any sane person... I'm sure Haz is fine though*
*A dark figure walks into the gym with a twisted smile as he watches the robotic hero attack Aincrad.*
It's a good thing we have heroes of justice like you to take down such evil and heinous villains. I'd be really worried if psychopaths like that roamed around freely.
From the tip of his cane flames start spewing out at Duo, specifically meeting the ice head on and turning it to steam. "Heroes aren't so black and white you arse. I weighed my options. I played by the rules until they seemed to be unfit for the situation. So I decided that she gets the chance to try to reintegrate. Try her when she's ready to be. When she's not a risk to the people around her. Let me play out what would probably happen if she got tried right away. She gets sent to a mental institution at best, prison at worst. She gets threatened and because she is not properly ready for that, she initiates her powers to attack everyone. She escapes and goes on the run. Is that really what you want?!"
(Oh this is going to be a long long night.)
[Hazama flips a knife out, and slams the bladed edge into Tatsuya's incoming knuckles. The flames singe the man's fingers and bits of his hair with how close of a call that was, but he doesn't seem to mind the pain aside from a slight grimace.]
Neat trick, you trying to burn my suit? That's playing dirty, Tatsy!
[He leans forward a bit, and aims a hard knee wight toward his opponent's stomach, while also trying his best to keep Tatsuya's hand in place with his knife.]
Shadow forms beside Chaos and grabs his wrist. "That's enough out of you. Need I bring up the events that took place during the festival?"
(He changes color once more in favor of a red and black motif. He frowns at Aincrad.)
Who are you to decide what is lawful and what isn't? A criminal broke the law, simple as that, and you harbored said criminal!
(The dragon head is switched out for a large flaming spear.)
Spartan Spear module, activated. Heroes are black and white, murder is wrong you buffoon!
(He brings the spear to the side of the cane.)
And they would be dealt with appropriately using guards that have equal power. We seek to rehabilitate, just as you do. But she must pay for her sins and her crimes.
(The robots eyes flash.)
More Evil Energy...this place reeks.
(He'd nod to the white haired man.)
Worry not citizen! I have this under control!
*Chaos suddenly frowns and looks to Duo.*
Help! This dangerous criminal is using some strange powers against me! I think he's going to try and hurt me!
*Tatsuya rips his hand backwards with a grunt of pain, blood pouring from the wound and burning away in the air. As he does so Hazama's knee slams into Tatsuya sending him backwards... Rather than try and stop he rolls with the blow vanishing into the fire for a moment*
Nice block there buddy, I'm seriously impressed with your skills so kudos...
*A longsword made out of fire appears in his hands before Tatsu steps out of the wall darting at Haz with a vicious stab aimed for the upper chest*
You might have dirty tricks but so do I!
*Suddenly before the stab can connect his blade brakes down into a beam of flames and Tatsuya leaps back to the edge of the ring away from Haz*
"No duh murder is wrong! But if one solution only leads to more of it, is that solution truly needed?! Also ever hear the phrase shades of grey?! Look it up, you might learn something!" He presses the cane against the spear nullifying the flames before jumping back. "And there are no guards of equal power! In this universe, the citizens and police force are not ready for this power. If they had the same power as you, maybe, but even then it might not be enough. I come from a universe where there are no monsters or robots or powers, and if that was the case, no duh I would bring her in. She would be normal! But special cases require special attention. Attention that the system here just couldn't bring!"
Shadow looks at Chaos then at Duo. "Please continue your useless fight. In the meanwhile I'll just monitor this criminal." He steps back and sits watching Chaos.
SCOUNDREL! UNHAND THAT MAN!
(He takes on a black and silver motif with yellow highlights.)
Creator's Truth Module activated!
(His spear retracts into an Izanagi-esque face on his arm.)
I'll be stopping you now! And we would have young heroes be the guards, not normal humans! Fool!
(He raises his arm to the sky as the mouth opens on the Izanagi-esque cannon. Multiple bolts of lightning are tossed into the eye before descending on Aincrad and Shadow as rings of electricity. They'd aim to ensnare them and zap them into submission.)
[Hazama was fully prepared to block the sword strike, and takes the beam straight through his chest. Hazama grits his teeth, grabs his chest and glares in Tatsuya's direction.]
Cute.
[The Ouroboros appears, coiling around it's user. It flies toward Tatsuya quickly, before turning straight up at a ninety degree angle and flies instead right through the dome and toward Tatsuya's other self.]
I know YOU can take a beating, but let's see about your little friend here, why don't we?
Shadow rolls his eyes and dissipates yawning. "You really are a damned fool."
Aincrad sighs and activates his speed booster in his cane and rolls out the way. "And yet another example of you being manipulated. If it was this easy for people to manipulate guards we would have at least ten prison breaks a month." He shakes his head in dismay. "By the way have you noticed something interesting about this fight yet? A few things really."
Ours or theirs?
(Duo looks at Aincrad cautiously, before taking on a black and white motif with purple highlights.)
Witch's Grief module, activated. Explain yourself.
*In a blur the dome breaks down... Or rather forms into a small circle of flames on the ground that darts about before going under Haz, and suddenly rushing upwards as a towering pillar of fire below the Snake's feet*
I'd say... He can take a bit of one actually!
*The chains slam into Apollo's head leaving bruise marks on Tatsu's and causing him to stagger a bit... He slowly reaches for his chainblade having only enough time to get ready rather than actually move or attack himself.*
Of course that's gonna slow me down so good job there Snake Guy.
"Ours obviously. Theirs I'm not paying attention to. First off, notice what that 'random bystander' came in and said. Really think about it. If I was the psychopath he claimed I was, would I have let him live in the first place. And even then, according to you the majority of us here have powers to defend ourselves with. So then why is he sounding so helpless, when all my persona did was grab him? Second off. What have I been doing this entire fight? Honestly think about that for a second. What have I done?"
*Chaos begins looking scared as he looks at Aincrad.*
I'm just an average citizen here...
I don't know anything about strange powers. Wait, isn't that one of the guys who was at that product expo that got attacked! He was using strange powers there, too! He's part of the reason why the economy is suffering from all the property damage!
Psychopaths would agree to take the side of a murderer, least that's how I saw it. And I've never seen that man, but anyone caught in a vice like that would be rattled! And as for what you've done....well...
(The robot shrugs.)
You ignored me in favor of attacking a bystander? Commiting two crimes in the process; resisting arrest and assault.
(The head of Izanagi turns back into his hand as he crosses his arms.)
You aren't making this any better for yourself by pointing out the things you've done.
Woah woah woahwoahwoah!
[The man jumps backwards mostly out of instinct, just barely avoiding being roasted alive. The tail end of his long coat wasn't so lucky, and Hazama panics a bit as he pats it out with his hand.]
Geez, people using fire to fight sure is a hassle. I can't really take the heat, so I hope you don't mind if I get outta the kitchen?
[Hazama throws the Ouroboros to his right, zipping through the air and landing roughly fifteen feet away, wanting to get as far away from that flaming pillar as he can.]
He sighs once more. "Here I have an idea. Catch." He brings out his phone and tosses it at Duo, now on a video of what happened during the product expo. "Oh and Chaos, quick note, I always have a video and voice recorder on me. It helps a lot when I need it." He then leans against the wall. "Second off, no what I have done, or more accurately haven't done, is fight. All I've been doing is nullifying your attacks and dodging them."
https://phansite.net/forum/topic.php?topic=10695
*Tatsuya and his Persona both focus on the flames rather than letting them die, the pillar transforms into a large snake that rushes straight at Hazama, it's jaws jutting open and spraying even more fire towards the man and leaving burn marks across GYM before it's breath stops and the beast tries to coil around Haz and heat up further*
OOC: Alright, I'm done writing villains if people are just going to literally bring in plot devices to get there way. It's over, I don't care anymore. Have fun with always winning.
(You want to beat me? Fine. Out think me. All roleplaying is is a battle of wits. Here's what you could've done, for example. Duo is a robot. Scan me. All my abilities and weaknesses are for show on my bio. Everything I do is there,)
OOC: Did this nigga just...yknow what, whatever.
IC: Why do I feel like this is some sort of jab at me?! Ah, whatever. Get a load of MY snakes, Tatsuya!
[Hazama leans backwards, and throws both of his arms out to the side. Three green snake-like creatures shoot forward, clashing with the giant fiery snake. They push against one another, and despite looking aloof, Hazama does seem to be sweating quite a bit.]
(If you expect me to just kneel over and admit defeat, you're wrong. I'm sorry but you are. Have Chaos be smarter. Use disguises. Duo is still hell bent on bringing me in right? Do what you did with Hazama. If you want to create these villains, go ahead. I love villains. They are the ones who are supposed to plan ten steps ahead. Do that then!)
( I mean it would be great to have a battle of wits but it's fairly challenging to out-think someone who constantly uses OOC knowledge. )
(He catches the phone and watches the video before tossing it back.)
Hmph. Parlor tricks and doctored footage. And you've been dodging my non-lethal moves used for incarceration. Congratulations. But if I were to get serious then you'd be in real trouble. Like this for example!
(Duo raises his large arm as the world grinds to a halt. He swiftly leaps over Aincrad and prepares a hefty punch with his large arm as time begins to move once more.)
OOC: Funny, didn't know I was every character. Neat.
(Here's what I want. You want complex stories? So do I. You want even matches? So do I. But I want villains worthy of it. Think about it this way. And I'll use Batman cause everyone knows his rouges. Best part, I'm not even going to use the Joker. Let's talk Bane. Bane is a fucking genius, and if you want to create villains that are more smarts then anything, start with him. He figured out who Batty was, infiltrated his lair, broke him mentally and physically, and has repeatedly outsmarted him by using his brain, only resorting to brawn last, and never relying on trickery.)
*The burning beast roars and continues to struggle against Hazama's snakes, Apollo keeps focused on it reaching out to heat the flame further as the snake shifts to a blue color and seems to glare*
Heh. I can see that sweat dripping down your face Hazama... Almost like this is working a bit or something!
*Tatsuya's face lights up with a dark grin as he draws a block of C4 from his coat, leaping into air and tossing it down at Haz. He attempts to detonate while it's still airborne causing the blast wave to slam into Hazama's head... But he may have pressed the button too soon either greatly lowering the effect or at worst causing it to go wide*
(By using Hazama I meant ignoring it like he just did. That works. He's dedicated to the extreme, This line I think sums it up best.
Villains are supposed to be the extremes of their fields. If they weren't, then what challenge to they pose to the heroes?
Also Nexus, how am I using OOC knowledge? I have everything listed up on my bio. You want to hurt me? Bring in new factors or find ways to stop the factors I have. Break my bow for instance, create an emp. One of the plot threads I've been hinting at that I may take my character is to find what happened to the nexus version of him and his family. It's okay to bring in factors like that. It's what other villains do all the time.)
Aincrad looks around before noticing the world has become a hell of a lot more darker and barely sees him in time to react. "Oh son of a-" he raises his cane up and quickly activates an ice shield but it only slows Duo down slightly and he still gets hit, and sent spinning. He comes to a halt and spits out a wad of blood along with a tooth. "Okay owwwwww. Also whys the world spinning?" He shakes his head and looks at Duo, pointing his cane at him and fingers on the shield buttons. "Neat trick... That actually friggen hurt..." He wipes away the blood now trickling down his chin. "Funny... You've actually hurt me more than I hurt others..." He chuckles a little and smiles a now broken grin at Duo. "Show me more daddy!"
OOC: I was not aware you somehow possessed the skill to move in stopped time... I'm not really seeing anything that would suggest this in your bio? So yeah not seeing how you could react to that.
( You use OOC knowledge all the time, mostly harmless admittedly, but it's obnoxious, but how about that time you completely figured out what Chaos was when IC you only had very subtle hints. No matter how intelligent your character might be, jumping to that conclusion from the information you had, is quite frankly, insane. You can't use OOC knowledge and justify it by saying you're "smart". Also having the recorder is so much better that you have it on your profile. Too bad you didn't even mention you pressed the record button or something in narration, which would have prevented it being seen as an asspull by everyone. )
Resisting arrest and assault. You're lucky I held back. Now are you willing to come quietly or will I need to give you a complete attitude adjustment?
(He puts up his dukes.)
OOC: Alright, I was going to keep quiet, but I don't think I really can anymore. Look, buddy. The ENTIRE point of Chaos is that he's a manipulator. He lies, and he makes people question themselves. You just single-handedly nullified the entire point of the character because you suddenly have an out to this EXACT conundrum. You can't have an out to every situation and then blame everyone else for not expecting you to blatantly godmode. Hell if you want to start playing semantics then we could argue that you never pressed record, and if it's always recording then it's a little silly that you suddenly can find the exact clip you need at the exact right time, let alone have places to store that much footage. None of this makes any logical sense, and all it serves to do is make sure you win, and nobody else has any fun. If you want to have a smart character then that's fine, but play them smart and don't rely on asspulls to make them work. That's my two cents, now back to fire snakes.
IC: W-what the hell?!
[The C4 detonates right above Hazama, distracting him and causing his snakes to vanish. The fiery snake charges toward the green-haired man, and he starts booking it to not get eaten.]
Stupid big-ass snake! Hungry Coils!
[As if a light bulb pinged in his head, and he throws a chain right toward the airborne Tatsuya, attempting to throw him right into the gaping maw of his own creation to bide himself some time.]
(1. Tatsuya, he said he resumed time. And since the speed boost I activated was still in use and he still barely held on. 2. ... Alright that's a fair point regarding the record button. Normally I use the camera as on for all threads... But I can see how that can be regarded as bull shit, so I'll tone that down. 3. As with the hints... Going over it... I'm gonna say... Yeah at some points I might be assuming too far... But when someone drops enough hints, at some point there's going to be enough there... But on the flip side I could also give more information regarding how I came to those conclusions. Is that fair? Cause I'll admit, I'm not without my faults. I am not a perfect role player. Nor will I ever be. But getting learning where it's too much will help me get better, so I need y'all to call me out if I ever fuck up like this again. Is that fair as well?)
*Tatsuya slams into the ground with a groan as he staggers up with a chuckle... The beast still rushing towards Hazama now coughing balls of fire at the man, each one fired making it a bit smaller till it's about half it's former size and the color changes back to red*
Aww geez... I guess my minion is running out of fuel Damm
*He smiles at Haz and dusts himself off before once again training the revolver... At his own creation as bullets of fire slam into the snake leaving at it 3 quarters size*
Guess I'll have to make some of my own then!
HOW DOES THAT EVEN-nope, y'know what? Fuck it.
[Hazama decides he should just stop questioning things at this point and throws a chain directly upwards, flying straight up into the air and once he's several feet off the ground, he launches another right in Tatsuya's direction.]
*The chain slams into Tatsuya as he once again focuses in on his snake... Or seems to but rather is controling Apollo, the Persona rushes for Hazama it's fists blazing before a flurry of punches comes his way. The snake makes one last dart for Haz leaping into air with a final blast of flames rushes at the man's lower half, this naturally occurring at the same time as Appolo's flurry making it rather sticky to dodge both. Though the chain on Tatsu leaves him fairly open should this technique fail*
(Well seeing as I got no answer I'll just take that as a no. Good to know. At the very least I got some help here since I took it too far.)
Aincrad smirks at Duo and forms a holy ball in his hand. "You know something... Toaster oven? I'm sorry I never really caught your name." He tosses it in his hand and sighs. "I never thought helping people would actually end up getting people trying to arrest me." He tosses it to the ground and squashes it out. "At the very least it'll be interesting to see what happens now. Sure take me to your master."
[Hazama cringes as he comes up with an idea. A painful one surely, but an idea nonetheless. He zips right under Apollo, and right through the creature below him. He disconnects the Ouroboros chain, letting momentum carry him toward his target. The man is now a literal fireball with legs, and he;s zooming right toward Tatsuya, screaming at the top of his lungs and slashing wildly in front of him with a knife in each hand.]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The name is Duo.
(He approaches Aincrad as his colors return to normal.)
So long as you're willing to be tried in the eyes of the law, I shall arrange a court hearing.
(A beep is heard from Aincrad's phone.)
That's how I'll be keeping in touch. You don't seem as evil as you did before. Now get going and remember, justice will always find you if you don't comply.
*A burning black figure runs into the gym and joins Hazama in screaming.*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
"Sure it'll be fun. Now if you excuse me I have to find the nearest freaking hospital. I think I now have a fractured jaw." With that he leaves.
(Well it's 2:30. I need sleep. I'll see y'all... I don't know when. But thanks for pointing out where I can improve.)
*Apollo blurs into Lakshmi and suddenly... A wall of rock bursts from the ground standing between Tatsuya and Hazama, if he wanted to kill Haz there would be spikes. But not today*
Desperate move there Snake Guy! If I didn't know any better I'd call this one game wouldn't you!?
[Hazama smacks against the spikes, and slides down them with his face, full-on slapstick style.]
Yeah sure, whatever. I learned what I needed anyway, and it got those pests off my case.
[The man sits up, and cuts a hole in the ground, revealing his own cafe on the other side.]
I'm gonna go take a nap or something, you have a horrible day Mr. Suou.
[And with that, he is gone and the writer is going to lay down.]
(Duo looks on as the green man gets away.)
Well there goes the other source of Evil Energy...tch....Justice will win!
(With that Duo would storm off.)
*He waves at Hazama and speaks before the man is gone*
Hah. All my days are varying degrees of awful so wish granted Hazama! But anyways that was a great match! I get the sense you didn't really go all out and I'm sure I didn't... But still fun times be seeing ya!
*He walks out the doors with a fiendish smirk on his face and his hands in his pockets... Somehow by the time he's gone that God dammed door is fixed yet again*
>From the shadows exits a familiar figure.
"Ohoho! So the mighty Hazama can be fell by a single man."
>He lets out a maniacal laugh.
"FWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, how quaint! This world is ripe for the taking. Rift, Nexus, whatever other worlds there are...they will all know true fear when I'm done with them."
>Security cameras would whir as they have throughout the many confrontations tonight, as if they were scanning.
"Hmph. My 'other' self seems to think he's doing this of his own accord. Truly a rebellious soul I was born with. How I can't wait to crush his friends....one...by....one! FWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
>The figure fades into darkness once more as his shape disappears.
