*he walks up to Owain with dust staining his white and gold armor* Hello there sir. Do you know what is this place?

*Owain straightens his back as he addresses the person speaking to him. Oddly, compared to normal, he talks like a regular person.* This is simply a vast desert, something I've called home for many a year. What business have you in these parts of hell on earth? Certainly you're not... searching for anything, are you?

*Comes from under the sand* Hey nerds, whatcha doin?

*his cubic ghost appears in a flash of light* Ghost: Not what I expect from home. All this sand is messing with my optic. Breaker: I've heard from scouts that a Shard of the Traveler is here... if they specified it.

*Owain immediately puts his worn scimitar to Pika's throat.* Don't play with me, fleshrat. Run home, or I'll cut you down where you stand. *Owain then turns back to Titan, glaring at him.* Give up your search. Nothing you seek is here. If it was, you'd have been dead long before you got here. *A little ways away, a rock seems to be almost glowing from beneath. Owain has yet to notice.*

Hehe, look pal, I just came to see what you guys were doin! I meant no harm! Oh wait, *Pulls out whiskey bottle and drinks it all*

Death never looms over me. But... *he walks over to the glowing rock* Must be the shard.

*Junpei rolls in on a skateboard up to the sword hand, if he could, you see, its hard to use wheels in sand so he's kinda stuck there, perpetually as he calls out YO DUDE WHAT'S UP???

HEY DUDE! I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE AND CAN YOU GET THIS KNIFE OFF MY THROAT THANKS! *Drinks more whiskey*

*Owain immediately notices the shining of the rock once Titan approaches it, and he rushes over to him an an oddly high speed for a regular human, leaving Pika not at blade's edge. He pulls a second sword out, putting the bound object from before into a pocket in his coat, and stands between him and the object.* Back off, or else this'll get messy.

SURE MAN! IM KINDA STUCK HERE THOUGH! IM GONNA NEED SOME HELP AS WELL! *It appears that Junpei is standing on a skateboard slightly submerged in sand, trying to move it

*Slaps skateboard out of the sand and follows Owain in a cardboard box*

Listen, I'm here to get the shard. No need for violence.

I assure you, this is no shard. Now back off before I seperate your head from your torso. *Owain crosses his blades in an x pattern, staring down Titan even further.*

Alright, hell almighty... *he steps back* What is that rock anyways? Ghost: Picking huge dark magic in it. Best to not touch it.

HEY DUDE! CAN I GET SOME HELP MAN? WE ARE BROS RIGHT? *Junpei continues to shout at sword hand, desperate for someone to help him heelie from his feelies

*Crawls over in cardboard box and touches the rock* See? Nothing bad ever happened!

Junpei... look around... we're in the middle of the fucking DESERT!

*Owain glares even harder.* Don't ask. It's nothing you need to know. Now get out of my sight. *The light from beneath the rock glows even brighter. The light almost seems alluring, making those who see the light want to know what exudes it. Trying his best to ignore Junpei, Owain immediately lashes out at Pika the moment he touches the rock, his sword barely missing Pika's hand.* I said go away, rodent! *When Pika touches the rock, he can feel a massive amount of holiness coming from it, almost attracting him to it.*

OOC: I'm in a cardboard box. I'm invincible! IC: WOAH! That rock felt really weird! *Drinks whiskey inside the cardboard box*

OH THAT'S RIGHT! *Junpei then hops off his skateboard and picks it up, putting it on his back as he walks up to the group, So! What do we got here? That's a pretty cool sword man! Where did you get it? You gotta tell me! *Junpei then puts his arm around Owain, acting like a total bro, bro, like bro, bro.

Ack, get off me, fleshbag! *Owain pushes Junpei away from him before attempting to roundhouse kick him in the back of the head.* Ugh, you people disgust me... I should just kill you now before you become a problem... OOC: Pretty sure sword cut through cardboard, Pika.

OOC: But this is Metal Gear technology!

*he picks up the rock This must be the shard of the Traveler. Wonder why my commander needs it.

Oof! *Junpei then falls backwards onto his back, diving into the sand and being dazed for a while

*Once the rock is picked up, the light bursts out from under it. The object in question underneath the rock is another bound object, very similar to the one Owain was carrying before. The light it exudes is might more faint than before, yet is still alluring.* Now you've done it... *Owain immediately attempts to slash at Titan with both swords, the scimitar in particular looking extremely deadly for some reason.*

*Smacks sword out of Owain's hand and activates tank cannon on his cardboard box*

What even is that?

*Surprisingly, trying to hit the sword out of a hardened warrior's hand is ineffective at best. Owain's grip stays firm, although he now glares at Pika as well.* What kind of creature do you think you are, trying to do something like that? I'll kill you twice... *Owain looks back at Titan, almost smiling a little, despite the anger in his eyes.* Well, I suppose I can tell you, since you're fated to die anyways. This is a piece of the corpse of Jesus Christ. And I suppose I may introduce myself as well. My name is Anubis. I am a Stand inhabiting this scimitar after my user passed away. This fleshbag I inhabit is named Owain. Now, prepare to die! *Anubis once again goes for Titan, one with his left vertically downward, and a follow-up with his right at a slight angle to the right.*

*Shoots cardboard tank cannon at Owain*

*he opens his Phalanax shield and bashes Anubis* I knew something is up with you!

*Owain slices whatever Pika shoots at him, but gets thrown backwards by Titan's bash.* Arg, damn you, fleshbags... Alright, here's something for you! Astra! *Anubis immediately turns to the Pikatank, and his swords begin glowing blue-green. He quickly performs 5 strikes at the cardboard tank, aiming mainly for it's cannon shaft and treads, assuming it's actually a tank.*

*Sets cardboard box with tank cannon to self-destruct, jumps out, and pulls out a M60 and starts shooting at Owain*

*he strikes the ground and reveals him to be on fire and holding a fiery hammer* If you want to challenge a Iron Lord then you get one!

*Anubis moves away from Pika's fire, slicing any bullets that come towards him.* As a Stand, I possess heightened senses and physical abilities... As if a simple rodent like you stood a chance. *Anubis approaches Pika the best he can, before going in for a slash across his tiny torso in order to get him out of the way as he fights Titan.*

*Jumps out the way and pulls out a smoke bomb, then smokes the area*

*in a blink he dashes and strikes Anubis in the gut with his Hammer of Sol* Don't think you're a stand I will kick your ass!!!

[A gunshot is heard from closeby, the shot seems to have been aimed at Pika.]

*Anubis is smoked out, yet he remains perfectly calm. As Titan attempts to strike him in the gut, he quickly hops over the hammer.* Tsk, as if you're a challenge either. I can see perfectly without my eyes! *While the smokescreen is still up, Anubis quickly runs over to where they found the corpse part earlier, and picks it up. It turns out it was just a large glow-stick wrapped in toilet paper.* W-what? This cannot be! Grr, damn these fleshbags for wasting my time! *Anubis quickly dashes off, heading away from them. By the time the smoke clears, Anubis is nowhere to be seen.*

(So is there like, gonna be any sort of reply?)

(Oop, proved me wrong.)

*Digging and metallic sounds*

Anubis, let go of Owain or face the might of the Iron Lord.
