GYMsona 4 Arena!
A young woman in green wanders up to a large building, she'd look up at the sign reading GYM with a grin on her face and go through the doors/
"Ahh, it's been a while since I've gotten into a real fight! All that training is good and everything, but I need to get back into shape and fight an actual person again!"
She runs into the building with a loud shout and looks around... Dang, the place is entirely empty for now. Oh well, she'd walk up to a punching bag and begin kicking it, a graceful flurry of blows dancing from her feet as the woman shouts "Hiyah!" and "WA-TAAAH!"
(Suddenly, right in the middle of the gym, a 7'3 snake centipede hybrid comes from the ground, looking kind of annoyed)
ALRIGHT, WHO THE HELL IS SHOUTING THINGS LIKE ITSSS THE END OF THE WORLD??!
(edited by Reperzel)
A tall man with an eye-patch and Dark Silver hair walks in being acompanied by a female figure with green hair and a purple dress in a steampunk fashion and both of them look around the interior of the GYM as they walked in
P:And that is why we don't rely on just one map my prince.
"Okay! You were right pandoria, Question on my mind is where are we now...."
P:That i cannot answer.
*Cobalt appears and leans against a wall.*
Too loud.
(He'd casually looks at the horribly dressed girl...and the two...future looking ppl, and sigh)
...this is gonna be a werid one...
Chie glances at the... What the hell kinda monster is that!?
"WOHA! ARE YOU A SHADOW OR SOMETHING!? I'LL KICK YA RIGHT TO THE MOON PAL!"
The woman would turn toward Rep and assume a fighting stance, she's clearly expecting to get attacked by the... Snake centipede hybrid? What the hell even is that thing? How would make such a being, or what... The arrival of Zeke and his friend would go barely noted, as she's a bit too focused on the strange creature to greet them.
(I'm actually not very sure how my character would fight)
A blonde, smug-looking man appears through the doorway, and smiles as he looks around the place. He also gently closes the door, what a nice guy.
Oho, and what's this er...GYM place? I don't see a whole lot of workout equipment, but I DO see a pretty big arena. I see, I see. I wonder of there are any swordsmen or women around here. Would certainly be a good experience.
(His eye'-s widen from the sudden yelling to now wanting to Beat the shit outta him...well, ain't his first time)
....look, mate...fuck you, I dont wanna fight
(edited by Reperzel)
"I am a swordsman! The legendary Zekenator! the most powerful driver of tantal!"
Zeke shows his weapon known as the "Big bang edge" being a massive odd looking sword,As a grin of cockiness shows on his face and pandoria gets into a stance as a blue beam appears from her chest and goes to the big bang edge like a power supply
*Cobalt smirks.*
Zekenator? Self-given nickname. Obvious. Slightly Pathetic. 37% chance you are a loner or a loser.
(edited by Cobalt)
The man smirks, whether that be in amusement or some form of recognition of this man, it's hard to say.
Oh? Legendary are you? Tell me, what is a Driver?
He turns to Cobalt, and smirks, placing a hand on his chin.
Oh, and who might you be hm? You look like the cranky type, what's got you in such a foul mood, eh?
Chie rubs the back of her head and laughs, oh so he's not a Shadow then? Well, that works fine for her.
"Oh! Sorry about that... You uh, well look a bit like the kinda thing that normally kills me on sight honestly. But anyway nice to meet you! I'm Chie Satonaka!"
The girl's voice would carry through the building as she shouts in a cheerful tone, with that she'd then look around and spots the guy with black hair and a huge sword shouting at some blonde... Hmm.
"Oh! Did you two come to fight too? I'm not exactly a swordfighter, but I can hold my own anyway! So, who wants to go up against me!?"
Then there's that dark broody looking one... He exists to be sure, but she's not entirely sure what his deal is. Either way, she's here for a reason and it's not to just chat!
(He rolls his eye, and digs some of his tail into the hole)
...next time, if ya see something that ain't human, don't go all apeshit...thats racist..
"My companion, Pandoria is my blade. She go's where i go, And is essentially endowed me with power and the weapon i am carrying as we speak."
P:And to mention he has a bad luck streak hehe..
As pandoria chuckles a bit to what she said zeke tries to keep his cool from such embarrassment and humiliation with his ego
"Yes....I had some misfortunes time to time...."
False. I'm not in a bad mood. I'm pointing out possibilities.
*Cobalt observes Seofon for a minute.*
59% chance you are a provocative ego driven child who enjoys fighting. Someone who pretends they care little about anything but is in fact very picky about lives details about does not like being insulted or things not going their way.
(edited by Cobalt)
*Soon a young teen with black hair and red eyes who had a dull colored shield and sword on his back. The teen would smile as he saw all of the people in this GYM*
"So this is the GYM. smell great in here. Well time to train myself, and see if I get into a fight"
*The teen who is known as Brycen walks over to a dummy and starts doing some basic punches to warm up*
(He'd twist his head a full 360 at cabalt)
...well, thisss guy can read ppl like a book, full front and back
(edited by Reperzel)
Zeke looks at Chie in response looking at her then grins.
"I guess me and pandy can go a round to spar with someone...."
P:Yep that sounds good enough to me! lets rumble then!
Both are in agreement in there response to Chie and get ready to battle as zeke gets in position wielding the Big bang edge and pandoria provides power to it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHOVDqCeStI If anyone cares for fight music
The man smiles at the pair, and rubs his chin.
My oh my, quite the jovial pair indeed. That sword looks rather unique as well, consider my interests piqued.
He turns next to Cobalt, his smile still not fading.
Hmm, yep. You're a cranky one alright. Fighting is a side project for me, I'm a weapons lover at heart, you see. I don't sweat details or anything, and neither should you. Otherwise, I might have to kill you.
His glare turns serious at the last bit before his jovial expression returns.
Just kidding!
Lastly, Chie.
Less fighting, more examining. I'm a bit of a...weapons geek if you will. Swords especially.
Well....pretty sure two fights in one....and here I am...in the background....ugh
A modest looking girl dressed in a red outfit entered the GYM, looking around.
Hmm... Is this really a gym? Well, as long as I can burn calories here...
Seeing a lot of people in one place made Yukiko a little wistful. She missed the inn at times... It was so nostalgic that she could swear she could even see Chie.
...
Wait, what!?
Yukiko had a lot of emotions going through her right now. She wanted to run up and hug the girl she had been closer to than anyone... But not in front of so many people. How would she even greet her after all this time? Yukiko, unable to contain her tears, walks closer and says that treasured name:
Chie... A-Am I dreaming?
The woman grins over at her foe and nods happily, that sword looks pretty painful to get hit by but well what's there to do about it?
"Alright then! Uh, are both of you fighting though? Not that I can't deal with it... But well sounds a bit uneven if so. Anyway, I'll make the first move!"
Chie begins darting across the room and rushes at Zeke, if the man looked down he'd note a pair of metal greaves on her legs. As soon as she reaches him, her right leg would blur upward and aim to slam into his lower chest. Just as quickly as that happened, she'd then plant her leg on the ground again and attempt to stomp on the man's left foot with a vicious snap of her left leg. Seofon's response causes her to shout over toward him, eyes not leaving her foe for a moment.
"Ah, I see! I'm more of a martial arts person myself! Weapons are nifty and all, but I just love getting up close and personal!"
Upon hearing Yukiko's voice, however, the woman would quickly look toward her. Any awareness of the fight utterly lost for a moment as she just stares at her friend in silence for a bit... Huh, so she's around here too? Chie gives Yukiko a joyful shout in reply."
"Nope! It's really me in the flesh! And jeez I've been looking all over for ya Yukiko! Where the heck have you been up to now anyways huh? Oh well, it's good to see you again! But uh I'm kinda in a fight over here, wanna talk after it's over?"
With that, she'd send one list grin toward the woman in red before turning back to her foe and shaking her head... Might not be the best thing to do in a fight, but oh well, that was important.
(edited by Chie-Satonaka)
I cannot do that. "Sweating the details" as you say is something that cannot be avoided for once such as me. But I will state that there is a high chance that trying to kill me will be the last thing you will attempt to do.
*Brycen after doing some punches on the dummy wounder turn around to see what was going on*
Taking the hit at his chest, Zeke makes gets back up and the big bang edge crackles with electricity and zeke Charges at chie Clearly having a trick up his sleeve and says
"DYNAMIC SPARK SWORD!"
Zeke then swings the Huge sword conducting who know's how many volts of electricity at chie with a smirk on his face as pandoria keeps supplying power to the big bang edge
P:You asked for a "Shocking" Surprise now!
(He'd quickly drills underground, and re-appers, right in front on brycen)
...ay
He sighs, placing a hand on his hip.
Oh come ON! I said I was kidding, lighten up will ya? Killing isn't my thing, like I said, weapons expert. Though, if you DO have a sword on you, I'd be delighted to see it.
He smiles at Chie, turning to watch the scuffle she was now in with that Zekenator fellow.
With the clatter of rails and the screeching of steel, a steam horn sounds off outside the establishment of GYM. Should anyone peer outside, a large green locomotive has positioned itself before the door, but it leaves ample space for new arrivals to enter. One such arrival is a strange being clad almost entirely in a black cloak. The only noticeable features being some green strewn here and there, and a golden mask with emerald eyes.
"Ah... It's QUITE good to get out every now and again! Of course save for shopping, but that's just as much a chore as it is an excursion! Now... Where have we landed now...? Whoopsie! I mean I..."
The being holds his hand to his head in some expression of shame, or embarrassment.
*Cobalt turns his attention to the fight.*
I have been ordered to observe. Combat abilities, including apparatus including swords and kunai, have not been approved for usage unless I am defending myself. As such, you cannot see my blade. My apologies.
D-Definitely! I'll cheer you on from here, like you always cheered me on... Next time let's do it together!
Yukiko wiped her eyes and took a seat on the bleachers, watching the battle with a new light in her eyes. Everything else seemed to stand still for her. This was a good day...
So that woman is a power source for his weapon... Well isn't that something, metal isn't going to block this attack so that's right out. And it seems like she hasn't got any choice but to get serious.
"COME! HARAEDO-NO-OKAMI! AND COVER US IN FROST!"
A tall woman in gold and black samurai armor forms in front of Chie, she carries a large two-bladed weapon made of red energy in one hand, the other one empty as she raises it up in a blur and suddenly causes a spike of ice to shoot from the ground in Zeke's path. The Persona would rush in front of him, assuming her ice didn't stop his charge she'd aim to slam her own blade into his and lock the man in place.
"Phew, I wasn't expecting to have to do something like that so quickly! You aren't half bad I guess, but let's see how you can deal with my Persona!"
"Gah!"
*Brycen would get scared thanks to Rep's sudden appernce infrount of him, Brycen would summon a small fireball and trys to hit Rep with it*
(The fireball would simply wither off of him)
....well, that happened
"What the?! Pandoria! You're up!"
Zeke passes the big bang edge to pandoria and pandoria grabs its handle and is not holding the sword but the handle alone like a wand and points it at Chie and the ground by manipulating the electric currents in the building making bolts of lightning zap almost everything and zeke recieves the big bang edge from pandoria after the series of indoor lightning strikes stop
"PRETTY CLEVER BUT THAT WON'T STOP US!"
The man frowns, and decides to just watch the fight.
Disappointing, but that's your decision. Do what you will.
Not my decision. My orders.
*Cobalt continues watching. He glances at Brycen attacking Rep.*
Water is wet.
*Brycen sighs, soon just walking away from rep and going to a chair to sit down. Brycen would look at Cobalt*
"Hey, it was my first reaction to him coming out of no where"
Blasts of lightning, like Kanji... Maybe more like Yu in terms of power. She's not fast enough to dodge them after they've already shot off, but she'd evade a good number of the shots by ducking down to the ground and making herself as small a target as possible. Her Persona, on the other hand, uses another plan, expanding the icy spike that had shot up in Zeke's path and expanding it, by the time she's done the thing would have formed an entire wall covering her front that absorbs the attacks.
"Pretty good! I've fought others who use this kinda stuff though so it's nothing too shocking for me!"
Chie leaps off the ground and runs toward Zeke in a blur, her Persona pushes its hands toward Zeke. As the woman reaches her foe, the wall of ice would suddenly break down into hundreds of tiny shards that fly through the air in a huge circle rushing toward both Zeke and Chie. The green-clad woman, however, is unaffected by her own element and would begin releasing a flurry of kicks aimed at Zeke's legs and chest even as the tiny daggers rush through the air.
*Cobalt gives Brycen a side glance.*
Water. Is. Wet.
Uh-uh, don't care, see ya
(He then drills underground. And suddenly appears right by yukio)
....ayyyy
A surprised look covers zekes face trying to keep up evading the luckily using the big bang edge to almost all of the kicks a few landing on him in success
"Bringer of Chaos, ULTIMATE LIGHTNING FURY SLASH MAX!!!"
Zeke swings his weapon into the ground and a symbol glowing and cracking with electricity crackles everywhere as zeke swings up at chie with it as both the volts of electricity and the force of the big bang edge hit her combined as the power being supplied by pandoria becomes stronger now
It was a good time as any, and so Kazuo figured that it was enough of a reason to go and check the GYM once more. It had been a few days since his last visit but when that happened, he met a particularly unique individual. Trains as some kind of power never ocurred to him, so maybe, just maybe he could find something even more amusing.
"I wonder what I will learn today, perhaps something new to use."
He said, and as soon as he realized there were people fighting already he...felt a bit happy. Not only could he see their techniques but it was also another proof of how diverse this cast was.
"Might as well."
Looking for anything to sit on, he finds a seat next to a quite sturdy wall.
"You will protect my back, won't you miss wall?"
The woman would leap backward with a dance-like move, despite the blade not slamming into her dead on the blasts of lightning are still an issue... An issue which sends her flying back and causes Chie to groan.
"Gah... Okay I'm gonna need more power than that, LET'S GET READY!"
Her Persona spins its blade around and a green light covers the thing, Power Charge to be exact but Zeke hopefully doesn't know that. Chie herself simply takes on a defensive stance, preparing to block whatever comes her way next.
"This is quite the workout and actually impressed right now....PANDORIA YOUR UP AGAIN!"
P:Got it! Electric circus!
Zeke hands the Big bang Edge to pandoria and instead of what she did before she uses the wand to lift the blade of the sword and swing it around it being lifted and spun around like a helicopter blade through the electric currents
Well...there's nothing to do...but imma still be here
The figure quietly mumbles to itself.
"So it's GYM again... it's a lot louder than last I was here. At least... I THINK it's louder."
*Brycen started to clean his sheild*
The currents rushing toward her annoying at best, Haraedo spins its blade once more. This time the light that covers them would be multicolored and raise all their stats as the pair begins rushing toward Zeke again. Thanks to their boosted speed they're able to evade most of it, but a few bits slam into Chie and her Persona and slow them down enough that they're unable to strike as of now.
(He'd quickly turn his head to deneb, and hisses at him violently)
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....
After taking the rapid strikes zeke falls down making an attempt get up while the electric currents grow stronger now. Dispite the pain zeke chuckles a bit thinking something is funny or something entirely else.
"Hey.....That was pretty impressive......"
"You thought that was good? Well then look out for this one!"
The Persona and user rush to Zeke's front with inhuman speed, suddenly they're like two mirrors of each other, moving totally in sync as their legs rush upward.
DUAL FINSIH! DOUBLE GALACTIC PUNT!
The woman and her Persona shoot forward like bullets, Chie on the left, Haraedo-No-Okami on the left. Both of them would lash out with inhumanly fast kicks that rush toward their foe faster than any move they've made up to now, assuming Zeke was struck by these strikes he'd notice that they happen to be a great deal stronger than anything they've done up to now as well. He'd most likely be sent flying backward, and given the speed of the strikes, they'd hopefully take him off guard. Finally, if their attack hit true Chie would slam her fist into her Persona's and grin.
(As he slithers closer and closer to deneb, his hiss would get louder)
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...
Deneb keeps focused on the battle at hand, watching with anticipation.
"What's that noise...? Do they have a leaky pipe?"
*Brycen would look up, and looks around seeing nothing really going on that is worth his time or that no one wants to do anything with him, he went back to cleaning his shield*
After taking the pain of the Double galactic punt zeke falls flat on the after the big bang edge falls on the ground with a partially unconscious zeke and a pandoria rushing over to assist him like a real person would
"That was a pretty good one....."
P:Well your alive so that's good.
Pandoria sighs for a moment and sends a small current to Chie for a last laugh
(His hiss would stop when he gets face close to deneb)
...if it issssn't you....remember me? The tall man you beat the shit outta for no reason, broke my sword, and you where the reason why I was sent to those piece's of shits, those shadow ops...
Deneb's expression doesn't seem to change, but his demeanor becomes quite confused.
"Em... I don't quite recall doing that to ANYBODY really... I did accidentally break some fellow's sword, but he was trying to destroy the place! Other than that nothing else of what you said seems to ring a bell... Sorry!"
OH DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT!, I KNOW YA REMEMBER, AND I WAS TRYING TO DESTROY THE PLACE?!?!, I WAS JUST TRAINING!, HOW DID YA NOT NOTICE THAT!
Yukiko smiles as she watches Chie in action. She's gotten stronger... Meanwhile, she's stagnated ever since those days... Maybe with Chie's help, she could get back to where she was as well.
She claps in applause, showing... unnatural enthusiasm.
Bravo, Chie! woohooo! you kick ass!!!
Deneb bows apologetically.
"I'm quite sorry, but I really do not recall! All I remember is some fellow destroying the establishment, and you'll need to forgive me but that isn't how you train!"
The woman is struck by the current, too busy staring at her downed foe to properly dodge. As for her Persona, it vanishes and she breathes a sigh of relief.
"Phew! You two were pretty good, but I guess all that training I've been doing lately as paid off! Heh, I think the bond between myself and my Persona has grown even greater... But anyway, good match see ya around sometime!"
With that she'd wave at the two and runoff, rushing over to Yukiko with a cheerful grin on her face.
"Heh, yeah I've been training a lot! But it's not like I haven't had reason to... Well, long story short I just barely lost this one fight a while back, and it kinda reminded me that I needed to keep going!"
She'd then go quiet for a moment at that... Geez, kinda silly of her to do something like that around all these people... Regardless, she'd smile and lean into Yukiko, hugging the other woman and sounding far calmer than she generally does. For once, her voice is fairly low and it's unlikely anyone else would make out what she's saying unless they were next to her.
"Geez though, where have you been? Honestly, I was starting to think we'd never meet again ya know... Well, either way, that's not worth worrying over since you're here now. And don't go missing on me again got that? I'd be... Wouldn't quite know what to do, honestly."
Chie just sighs happily, utterly oblivious to any shouting matches involving a snake thingy as she holds onto her friend.
A giant green humanoid monster walked into the gym with a sword and shield and when he saw Rep, it gave him some serious flash backs where it made him really angry. He goes up to Rep, grabs him by the end of his tail, slams him to the ground repeatedly, and slams him to the ground one final time. He walks out of the gym before looking back at Rep and screaming at him.
Puny bug..
A teenage boy wearing a knightly garb would open the doors to the GYM and walk inside looking around as if everything was strange to him. He's scratch his head for a moment before looking at everyone around. The appearance of Deneb and Rep, in particular, would stun him for a moment.
"A-are those monsters? Or maybe familiars? They don't seem hostile but..."
He'd reach for his sword just in case but he wasn't about to jump to any conclusions in a strange place like this.
Kazuo claps for a few times, obviously amased by such display of absolute and terrifying might. This one girl; who he didn't know; and her "spirit" were in complete synch all the time. He began to wonder the nature of this power. Perhaps it was nothing but a spirit that agreed to help her, or rather a possession of sorts. Maybe it's a part of her, he didn't know exactly what it was, but he wondered if he could manifest something similar.
"That may be helpful, and from the look of it the spirit is able to be touched, or at least touch external beings."
He would then keep looking at Chie with curious eyes, and then at the newly arrival.
"Huh, I guess others are far more impressionable."
*Brycen finishes cleaning his shield would look up to see Alto, he would wave to the teen just to say "Hello there"*
(edited by Brycen)
Deneb looks to the young arrival, and bows in greetings.
"Greetings!"
Alto would wave back to Brycen with a smile. It was nice to see people here were friendly as well.
"Hello there, I'm a bit new here but it's nice to meet you. My name's Alto. I'm a royal knight of the 9th regiment but, uh, I guess that wouldn't really matter here."
He would then turn to Kazuo after hearing the comment. He'd take on a more curious expression as if trying to make sense of his statement.
"Impressionable? What do you mean by that?"
He would look back to Deneb. He seemed a bit less nervous now that he's aware that Deneb can speak.
"Hey, I'm Alto, uh, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you? I don't think I've seen anything quite like you before. Maybe, an Angel or something?"
(edited by Alto)
Yukiko blushed. She looked around at the other goers of the GYM and suddenly, her inhibition disappears; she hugs Chie tightly and giggles in her typical goofy way.
I missed you so much, Chie! I-I thought I convinced myself that I was fine without you... But... I really did miss you a lot; I've been a bit lost... But, now that we're together again... I wanna get stronger with you, just like old times!
When I ended up here, I was kinda confused... I thought I sleepwalked into the TV at first, because it was like Tokyo but... Weirder. I looked to see if I could find you, Yu-kun or anyone else, but I found myself pretty alone... No friends, family, it was kind of...
Yukiko shakes her head and hugs Chie tightly.
But now we're together again! Where are you living now, Chie?
After the fight Zeke and pandoria leave the GYM. Possibly going be to seen Again for another day.
That means I'm done for the night.
(A 7'3 man in a behemoth of a armor, all red and blue, with a giant lance and a shield with actual fire in it, walks in, with lots of clanking)
....well, guess I'm back here
Before too long a young schoolgirl, after peeking in the door. Wow, sure is crowded tonight. After taking a bracing breath, Sayaka heads into the GYM, smiling and waving to those in the area
Been a little while huh? Nice to see some fresh faces.
among the crowd, there's only one she'd recognize.... Well, one person anyways, with little else to anchor herself, Sayaka waves to Kazuo
Hope you're still doin' well, had to leave rather suddenly last time.
Deneb scratches the top of his head, but works up the nerve to explain.
"I am an Imagin! It's rather difficult to explain, but Imagin make contracts with humans to go through time! Of course, I'm one of the exceptions, but it's rather possible! Imagin can possess humans, but if they have a strong will or happen to be a singularity point, we can be kicked out! It's quite an amazing experience! An angel is far from what we are, but I believe I'm the only one of my kind that you'll find in this place!"
"Nice to meet you Aito too... im Brycen..."
(edited by Brycen)
(He looks around, And notices many ppl in the gym)
....hm, well, not surprised, anyways, now I gotta figure out what this place has, sense last time, I was barely able to do anything...
"I say impressionable because you seem awfully wary of these people. I can understand why however, they have some pretty strange powers and summonings after all."
Kazuo covers his mouth in surprise and tries to laugh it all off, almost as if he realized he said a bit too much.
"I'm sorry, maybe it's too much information? You can think anything you want."
After this, he extends his hand to the newly arrival.
"My name is Kazuo Fabian, by the way. It's nice to meet you, sword guy."
He would then turn his head to greet the girl he met the other day, Sayaka, and waved at her with his other hand. He was happy to see someone he knew something about.
"It's been a while, how have you been doing, blue haired girl?"
(edited by Kazuo)
Eh, better wait then.
(With that, he walks to the arena part of the gym, and sits in the middle, eating some sortta red nut)
(edited by Rep-the-hunter)
"Sorry, Yukiko... I can't believe I left you alone like that, and geez you didn't find Yu either? I actually met him a while back, see him around now and then so that's some bad luck there."
Chie would then break the hug and laugh, geez that sounds pretty bad, to say the least, but well, they're here now so it shouldn't be an issue anymore.
"As for where I'm living, well it's not exactly the nicest place or anything but uh I've got an apartment. Been trying to find an actual job, but well the cops around here don't seem to be hiring. And I haven't quite figured out where the Shadow Ops are... TV still pays though so there's that! Not the usual guy, but I found a blacksmith who'll buy Shadow parts."
Wait though, why's she asking about something like that... The woman would blush as she considers the implication.
"U-um, if you need to stay with me or something then, of course, you're welcome Yukiko. What are friends for right!? Anyway, I guess I'll introduce myself to some people, been a while since I've been around ya know?"
With that, she'd walk over to... Hmm, blue hair, sword guy, and uh whoever that third one is. Plus the metal one? Either way, she walks over to that group and waves casually at them.
"Yo, Chie Satonaka and uh it's nice to meet you all! I haven't seen a single one of you guys around here before, but well I've been away for a couple months so I guess it's not too shocking?"
She'd then look at Kazuo directly, he seemed to have been muttering something after the fight ended and she's a bit curious what it was.
"And um, were you wondering something after seeing my match? I might be able to answer it if so, though uh I'm not the biggest into magic and stuff I know a thing or two."
Alto would look over Deneb once more as if trying to memorize what an Imagin looks like. The time concept was a bit strange to him as the most he's dealt with is those with the ability to freeze others in time.
"Yeah, that is pretty different from what I've seen angels do. Not sure about that singularity point stuff but it seems pretty interesting too. I'd like to maybe learn more about Imagin sometime but only if you'd want to teach someone like me about that stuff."
Alto would turn back to Brycen again to respond to them.
"Good to meet you Brycen."
Alto would turn back to Kazuo and take his hand with a smile.
"I can see why you'd think that. I'm more wary of monsters and familiars. Familiars means a witch might be nearby and that could either be a very good or very bad thing. It's kind of my job to be aware of things like that.
Anyway, you've probably already heard myself introduce myself to others here but I'm Alto. I'm a royal knight from somewhere very far away."
(He continues eating the red seeds, and sighs)
Hm...useally, ppl would love to fight from what I've seen
(edited by Rep-the-hunter)
*Brycen got up and puts his sheild away. Brycen took a moment to look around and take a deep breath soon walking to the group, not pretty much knowing what to say*
"Alto, the royal knight. That means you are good with a sword, right? I've been trying to use sword lately but I can't seem to grasp the technique very well, so I would love some pointers."
After letting go of Alto's hand and making his request, he turns to Chie and smiles, extending his hand once more.
"My name is Kazuo Fabian and it is nice to meet you! And I was wondering about your spiritual companion, what is it?"
Sayaka smiles and leans against a nearby wall, it doesn't take long for Sayaka to shout back to Kazuo
Doin' great of course. Pretty much just got done workin' so I figured I'd swing by.
Sayaka stretches against the wall, reaching up towards the sky. Like always its tiring, but in some ways exciting too. Regardless, Sayaka nods to acknowledge Chie
Name's Sayaka Miki, pleasure to meet you. I'm probably about the closest thing to normal in this place, but I guess that's not saying too much.
naturally Sayaka overhearsa bit of Alto's conversation with Kazuo, but it seems like the new guy is getting a bit swamped at the moment, probably best to leave him be for now
Sigh...well, better get ready just in case
(With that, he pulls out his giant Lance, and opon closer looking at it, it has a trigger like a gin. And a big barral, like a tank, then, he pulls out what looks like a fin. And sharpens the lance)
...I need a new whetsto-
(But, he accidentally pulls the trigger, send a giant, shotgun/tank like explosion, and a loud one at that, and this send rep all the way to the end of The arena)
OW, FUCK, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN!
Oh that, easy enough question to answer.
"She's a Persona! Think of them as... An extension of the user, not so much an actual spirit at all, but rather a manifestation of my own soul! They're actually really common around here, so I'm kinda shocked to be explaining how Personas work."
Normal huh? Heh, somehow Chie finds that unlikely but well she's not one to judge.
"Sayaka-chan huh? Well, it's nice to hear that I guess, I'd call myself... Maybe not normal, but at the very least I'm pretty much sane! And hey if ya need any help dealing with monsters or something I'm always willing to do what I can!"
There's an infectious cheer as the woman speaks, a bright smile crossing her face as she glances at the younger girl.
*Brycen sighs... it was about time to meet everyone who was in this building who he did not know which was pretty much everyone but Aito*
"Um... hello"
Nidus walks into the Gym while a massive war hammer is on his back, and two kunai pouches are on the outer most part of his thighs.
Some new faces... and that guy...
Alto would wonder how much he could actually show someone. He's been in plenty of fights already but he hasn't actually been a knight too long. Most of his fighting experience comes from hunting in his hometown for somewhere around 3 years.
"Well, I learned most of what I know from my commander Klaus and from hunting beasts in the woods near home. Besides that, a sword's always felt pretty natural in my hands. I think I could still give you a tip or two but it would mostly just be what my superiors told me when I was starting out."
(He gets up, shaking his head a small bit, but, when he hears nidus's voice again, he grabs his "lance" and runs to the other part of the arena)
AY YO, FUCKER, HOW YA DOING?
(edited by Rep-the-hunter)
First of all, you don't have to yell, second of all I am here to practice my Crushing Ruin stance with my Fragor Prime hammer. The third you have to cough up some platinum because you blew up my entire body except for my head. And lastly I have a gift for everyone because I am a man or golem of infested flesh of nature despite Oberon and Titania sees my view on nature to be... off.
*He takes out the Fragor Prime, covered in gold liveries and porcelain parts*
A swordsman huh? But not one who knows too much... Huh, too bad Yu isn't around to give the guy some tips.
"Swords eh? I've got a friend who's really good with those actually, but if you want some practice in general fighting well I'm always willing to help out with stuff like that!"
She'd raise her fist into the air and shout, she's more than happy to help out with these things after all. Besides, she's curious to see what he can do too!
AY, WHY DO I OUTTA PAY YA?, JUST CUZ I KILLED YA, CUZ YA ALMOST KILL ME TO?, ALSO, YA ALIVE, SO I THINK THATS A BETTER PRICE THEN MONEY!
I simply scared you away because from the what you called "monsters" told me that you go in, kill everything that you see and harvest them into weapon. And besides this body costs two hundred and twenty five platinum! That's almost a whole prime weapon set with that much. And the Juggernaut is gentle giant if you don't piss it off.
(edited by Nidus)
*Brycen had no clue what was going on now... all he wanted to do is meet some people and maybe make some friends... who he will die for*
LISTEN, MATE, ITS EITHER THIS RACE DIES, OR THERE'S, AND THOSE MONSTERS CAN KILL AND DESTROY ENTIRE TOWN, HELL, EVEN SOME CAN CHANGE THE ECOSYSTEM, OR EVEN CHANGE ISLANDS, ITS OBVIOUS THERE THE BIGGER THREATS!
"A...Persona? I've never heard about something like that before, but if they really are that common then I should either be careful or..."
He thinks on a single idea for a moment before placing his hand over his hat. This could change everything at once, even if he was already very capable, an extension of one own self was tempting.
"Perhaps I could get one? If they are that easy to obtain then maybe I could...or perhaps it's inherited? In which case, then it's helpless."
After his, he would turn to Alto and nod, thanking him in silence. Soon after, he would clap his hands together as a white aura cover his surrounding area, along with calm, silver fire.
"Imaginary 3.0 - Executioner."
A single blade would appear from a black, void vortex from the ground. It was very similar to the sword Alto was carrying, at least just in appearance and materials. Kazuo then tries to mimic Alto's every move.
"Ready when you are, Alto."
Then he hears Chie and smiles at her.
"I want to learn everything I possibly can, so any kind of fighting or technique is well recieved on my end."
Sayaka laughs for a few seconds. Sane is good, we'll gladly take that.
Gee, thanks for the offer and all, but don't worry about it. I can take care of myself just fine. I'm sure you've got plenty to think about.
That said, Sayaka closes her eyes and sticks out her left hand for a handshake, silver ring gleaming on her middle finger
Glad to meet you Chie-san. You'd be surprised how rare "sane" is around these parts
Deneb stands idly by, but makes a run for the counter at a breakneck speed.
"Do not mind me!"
He reaches the juicebar, and vaults over the counter. He begins surveying the area he has to work with, but sighs, defeated. He walks calmly out from behind the counter, content to just watch.
"No shiitake..."
I hear human greed running from that fleshy mouth of yours... similar to some PARTICULAR empire! You wanna fight a big threat? Then here.
*he tosses the hunter a worn down Orokin derlict key*
Go fight Lephantis. Giant "monster" that you speak of that can terraform land and assimilate life.
EH? SAN!?
"U-um please no need for all that formality! Geez, you're making me feel old here ya know. I'm only..."
Well, 23 isn't that old right? I mean come on.
"Well, twenty-three honestly. That's not that old!"
Regardless of her complaining, the woman still shakes Sayaka's hand... Huh, that ring is pretty.
"Where'd you get that ring anyway? It's pretty neat looking so I'm kinda curious!"
Eh, what can I say?, gotta fight ya way to the top
(He says as he grabs the key in mid-air, and puts it in a bag)
....hm, new elder dragon ay?, I'll check this out with the fleet...
*Brycen sighs guess no one wants to talk him. Brycen went to one of the chairs soon taking out his sword and stated make it look shiny*
Alto himself would pull out a dark looking blade from its sheathe. Within the blade's hilt would be two orbs that glowed with a mysterious light. Both the lights seemed to be a vivid red and the color from one of the orbs seemed to be subtly surrounding the blade.
He'd bring out his other hand as well and focus for a moment.
"Allegro, sound surround me!"
A flaming orb would appear in his hand for a moment as something in the air seemed to swirl into it. He'd close his hand on the orb as it disappears and symbols resembling music notes seemed to fly around him before vanishing as well.
"Sorry about that. If we're going to be practicing then I wanted to try and gather the sound from this area as well. That might not make much sense but, uh, it's kinda another part of my job."
You gotta need some guns to fight it. That's all the tips that I am giving to you.
*He turns to Sayaka and bows to her with respect*
Eheha.....well, see ya then, ya creepy looking mother fucker
(With that, he sits back down, and eats some red seeds, waiting for someone)
(edited by Rep-the-hunter)
Sayaka giggles again, she sure got uppity about it, might be fun to tease this Chie a little
Good, I'm not too fond of formalities anyways. If you're SURE you're not old I won't question it.
hearing Chie's question though, Sayaka quickly draws back her left hand, almost accidentally slipping the ring off only to have to catch it in her right
It was.... A gift. Nothing major really, had the ring for so long I kinda forget about it sometimes
Kazuo would then dismiss his apology with one hand wave. He laughed as well but seemed more interested in the ability itself than the guy in front of him.
"It's fine, Alto. The things I can do are fairly limited so go easy on me~!"
His aura and flames stay there as he takes a fighting position, holding the sword in reverse grip using his left hand, while his right was in front of his body in a protective stance.
"Whenever you are ready, don't limit yourself at all."
That's a super dodgy answer, but she's not going to bother Sayaka about it too much anyway.
"Oh, that's a shame Sayaka-chan, I was hoping you could point me to where you found it... Kinda thinking about a gift for someone actually, but ah well I'll figure something out!"
Geez, this girl seems the type to mess with her but eh. Not like she can't deal with a bit of that anyway.
"Anyway though, not being formal is good with me! Besides... I've got the sense we might see each other around some ya know? Something about the fact you came here tells me you've been in a few fights, right?"
It's just a wild hunch on her part, but this girl has the air of someone who's been in a few dangerous things... Might even go looking for em, which would make her all too much like Chie herself really.
Well...this is turning out awful
*Brycen puts away his sword as he got bored... maybe he should fight someone... but who*
Alto would nod with a smile as he grabs his sword with both hands briefly.
"Alright, then I'll start with this!"
Alto would rush forward with a horizontal over-head swing with the blunt side of his blade. He was aiming to strike at Kazuo's head but not with too much force in case Kazuo couldn't dodge or block the attack.
(He grabs his small bag, and pulls out another pack of those red seed's, and eats them)
(edited by Rep-the-hunter)
phew, dodged a bullet with that one. Sayaka takes a deep breath and slips her ring back on, best to keep it close. The young girl grins back at Chie
hope so. Barely had a chance to hang out with much of anyone in a while I'm afraid.
does coming here really make fighting that obvious? Well, its probably a safe guess at the very least
Yeah, you can say that. Like I said, I can take care of myself, so there's no reason for you to worry about me, y'know?
*Brycen looked around, soon looking at Chie and Sayaka and just does a friendly wave*
"Imaginary 1 - Highspeed Alloy."
Without moving a single inch, the black vortex would appear once more at his right side as his right arm transform into that of another person. Pieces of metal and gears would then shoot out of the vortex and towards the sword, hoping it would be strong and fast enough to knock it out of his hands. If this doesn't work, he might just be getting hit on the head, open for another hit.
"It's time to apply what I've learned."
*The door to the GYM swings open normally and Marie enters.*
The arena again. I wonder if anyone is fighting.
*She then notices the blue-haired girl and her ring.*
Oh hello there. Are you a friend of that--
*It was at that moment Marie realized she'd never gotten the name of that girl from the expo.*
Well any delinquents? No, wait, hold on that sounds terrible! Dammit!
(The 7'3 man continues to wait in the arena, waiting for a fight)
....uuuuuugh
*Nidus bows to Marie in a form of hello*
Greetings.
*he turns to Chie to ask her*
Do you know where are the training dummies? Because I have to practice my Stance Crushing Ruin.
Sayaka looks up to find Marie yelling in her direction. Least, sounds like its directed at her. Might not have been. Better to play it safe, so Sayaka turns to Marie and waves
Uh, hey there. I'm not friends with any delinquents.
it briefly occurs to Sayaka that she doesn't actually know where one of her friends gets their money. The young girl scratches the back of her head nervously
At least, I don't think so anyways. Why are you asking?
*Brycen got up and left*
Why.is.this.taking.so.long
Alto's blade wound be knocked away from hitting Kazuo but not out of his hands. He needed a moment to recover from the sudden force that moved his sword away so he would step back a bit.
"Seems you've got some interesting abilities of your own. Ok, I'll pick up the pace a bit."
Alto would try to move to Kazuo's right side and strike towards his arm specifically, once again hitting with the blunt side of the blade. He would be using much more force than before as the red aura seems to flare with his strike.
Yumina walks in the GYM
Ooh~
So this is where everyone practices.....
You don't? But I saw another girl with that same ring. It looked expensive.
I said delinquent because she had some fake cigarette and was hiding out in an indoor alley. Ring any bells?
*She couldn't remember the girl's name, or her code name. But the fact she was taking such notice of a ring meant nothing, right? Just some fan of rings, right? Besides, what kind of person would be able to tell that ring is magic at just a glance, anyway?*
Kazuo recieves the strike to his arm and whinces in pain. Soon after his arm goes back to normal, and its original form. After this, he takes one step back and nods with one eye closed.
"It's a bit unfair to call them my own, however..."
He stabs his sword into the ground. He takes a quick look around from his place before clapping his both hands together once more, although he chuckles for a bit. Two void vortex appear on top of him and drop two swords with different shapes, one that looks much more european, and another similar to a chinese sword. He takes both swords in a reverse grip, stabbing the chinese one into the ground.
"...I'll take them to the next level, come."
Sayaka raises an eyebrow, another girl with a ring like this? Hopefully not. Can only think of two, and neither of them are likely to use some novelty like that
Sorry ma'am, don't think I can help you. I do hope you end up being able to find them at some point. Othe-
A faint buzzing goes off in Sayaka's bag, alerting her to the business of her phone. After turning off the alarm, Sayaka sighs and scratches the back of her head
Sorry about that, I've gotta get going. Maybe we can catch up some time, ok?
with that, Sayaka waves to both Mariko and Chie as she runs out the door, wide smiles all around
Oof....
Yumina moves out of the way as Sayaka leaves, walking in and watching the fight
I'm sure If I watch enough people fight, I'll see a skill I can learn.......
Chie would look over toward Marie and... Wait what the hell!? She's here too!? She'd walk over toward the woman with a smile on her face.
"Yo! Marie-chan that you? Or maybe I'm just going crazy... Hard to tell in this place ya know?"
She'd laugh at that, geez what are the odds she'd meet someone who looks exactly like Marie and yet isn't? That's just silly.
"Anyway, how ya been doing lately? This place is pretty crazy if you ask me, but it's always good to see someone I actually know!"
Alto would step back for a moment until he would be a few feet away from Kazuo. He smiles before looking towards him sharply.
"This next attack might hurt if you don't dodge or defend against it. There's really no good way for me to do this without a possibility of hurting you."
The red aura would finally flare up before rounding Alto's body. Energy would flow through his body as his strength and speed would raise for a moment as he brought out his next attack.
[Charge Slash]
He'd take one step onto the ground before stepping forward. The ground under him would crack a bit for a moment as pushes off the ground driving his body forward through the air. He'd hold his sword outward in a thrust as he approached Kazuo. The attack would be aimed at his side in order to avoid hitting any major organs.
I see... how odd.
*She then ears Chie call out to her and turns to see her.*
Green? You're here too!? First Yu, then Teddie, now you. I've been alright here so far, though something strange is going on. Something evil, probably.
Wow.....
That skill.....
I don't use a sword though.....
Dangit......
Something evil? She just sighs and shakes her head, of course, it's something evil. When isn't there something evil going on? Like that whole Nyx deal, or whatever else is going on around this madhouse.
"Yeah sounds about right, we had Nyx late last year so at this point, not too much shocks me... Wait do you even know who she is? To be brief, she was a goddess of death that threatened to wipe out mankind and all that jazz."
And wait, Teddie's around too? Along with meeting Yukiko tonight. Geez, maybe they'll find the whole gang!
"I've met Yu, but I had no idea Teddie was around. Oh, and I saw Yukiko tonight too! That was pretty great! Anyway, if something evil happens I'm sure we'll kick its ass!"
*Nidus looks at Chie and Marie and back to Chie*
You two know one each other?
"Woah!"
With one quick movement he can barely avoid the attack by moving to the side and trying to redirect the incoming sword with his european one. This fails however and he stills gets a cut on his side.
"But you did get closer, I don't know if I can take something like that again."
His european sword in now damaged and basically useless, a proof of his strenght indeed. He takes one quick step back and thrusts it into the ground, and then repeats the process one last time by making appear another sword, this one is a katana.
"Come."
With his left hand, he covers his injury.
Oh, another Goddess of Death, huh? Well in this case someone is apparently giving out "Reverse Personas." I was hoping to find Yu here, actually. I figure this is something he should know about.
*Though hearing that Red was there was certainly interesting. Maybe they would end up getting the whole gang together. Hopefully that didn't mean.... she would be back, too. However, she turns her attention to Nidus' question.*
We do actually know each other, from a number of years ago, now.
Casually walking through the front door, N smiles as he takes in the senses from being inside GYM.
Ah, it's been so long... And, I must say, it's as lively as ever.
Heading over to the arena, N stands and watches the fight at hand, following their movements with his eyes.
Interesting. So something interest me which is this "goddess" of death which made me think of Nekros as a girl which is such so much NO...
*Nidus shakes out the chill in his infested spine*
Hm?
Yumina notices the green haired man that begins watching as well
Are you trying to learn new things by watching too?
Reverse Persona? That sounds like something she's read about... But she can't quite recall what they are, no doubt that the Shadow Ops would know though.
"Reverse Persona eh? I'll see about digging up some Shadow Ops files if I can ever make contact with them that is. I'm almost sure I've heard the name flung around by em at one point, but I don't quite recall what it means."
She'd then look over at N with a curious grin on her face, haven't seen that one before has she? Well, might as well speak to the guy.
"Yo! Chie Satonaka here, so you come here to train or something pal? I just got done with a match a few hours ago, but I'm still feeling pretty good despite that so if ya feel like it then I'm game!"
She'd then glance at Yumina, learning by watching? That can work to an extent, but it's not the ideal method if you ask her.
"Watching is great and all, but to really master anything you have to put it to use for real! Anyway, I'm sure you heard my name but uh even so, nice to meet ya!"
(edited by Chie-Satonaka)
Alto would look over the situation with great care as the red aura that was once around him begins to settle. He would take a step forward holding his sword in a ready position.
"It seems as though your instincts are pretty good already. I was always told that my attacks were too simple or generic when starting out. It's important to keep your opponent guessing. That being said I'll be pulling out something a little unconventional as well now."
[Gale Slash: Half power]
The red aura would now focus on the tip of Alto's sword as he slashed the air in front of him quickly and formed an X pattern. The aura seemed to linger and condense in the air to form the X as Alto brought his hands back before trying to push the blade through the X.
The blade would seem to slowly move through the X as if a massive amount of pressure was being exerted from it before Alto finally manages to get it through. The moment the blade pierces through the X a funnel of condensed air would extend forth aiming to target Kazuo's chest.
If the air was evaded it would continue traveling until hitting the wall causing it to crack slightly but not enough to do any more than crack the outer layering a bit.
Oh.
Hello.
Yumina gives Chie a polite bow
I'm.... Uhh....
She points above her head, where her gamer tag appears as YU-M1N4
Yu-chan
Or Yu if you don't mind.
As for actually fighting....
..............................
She looks at the people in the arena
I... uhh.... I think I'm a bit too low leveled to do that.....
He turns to Yumina, intrigued by her interest in him.
Ah, no, that's not exactly it. I simply find the natural ability of the people here fascinating...
Where I come from, there are no such people who possess skills such as the ones found here. All us humans can rely on there is the power of Pokemon... But not all people are kind to them. Some treat Pokemon without respect—like tools solely to be used for their own gain.
That's why I like it here so much. There are so few who treat other beings with such animosity! We all share such a mutual respect for one another, and I'm ever so grateful that I came here.
He laughs a little, giving her a smile.
I apologize, did I perhaps talk for a tad too long?
N then looks over to Chie.
Ah, yes, I suppose I did. Although I won't exactly be fighting on my own. I have a partner.
Would that be acceptable to you?
Ah!
She smiles in surprise when she hears the word "Pokemon"
Yeah, same with me.
We don't even have Pokemon.
Just people and normal animals.
And we too have problems with animal abuse....
So this kinda stuff is incredible to me too.
Are you two gonna fight?
Can I watch?
Shadow Ops? Yeah, sure.
*She'd then look at Yu-chan after she reveals her name.*
You're not the Yu I'm looking for, but you are a weird person. Why's your name up there anyway?
Pokemon?
"I have no idea what a Pokemon is! But I'm always willing to take on a fight! Last guy I fought also had a partner of sorts too, so I'm all warmed up for this!"
She'd then glance at Yu-chan, god that is a weird thing to be calling someone other than him, just Yu at all is...
"Yu-chan it is, I've got a friend named Yu Narukami so it'd be pretty weird calling you that. And sure you can hang around!"
She'd then dart off to the back door, walking outside so as to avoid getting in the way of Alto's battle.
Oh...
Looking up at her Gamertag, she laughs nervously
I... uhh, came here while playing an MMO.
So technically.... I guess I'm actually just a game character here?
That's why its there, that's my Gamer Tag. Not my real name.
Sorta like.... uhh....
A semi-transparent, pink menu appears in front of her
Like, this is my menu, and I can open a map.. or my Inventory.
She taps the window a few times and a pair of pink fox ears and a tail appear on her
My accessories....
Stuff like that....
Kazuo covers himself with his arms and doesn't even try to evade the incoming attack. He knew it was his best chance right now, although didn't take into account how powerful it actually was. He is sent flying back into the wall, from where he falls to the ground. He slowly stands up as blood comes down from the side of his face.
"That...really hurt. But I'm far away enough now. I'll show you what I've been setting up by taking their powers to the next level!"
His usually calm voice becomes awfully intense out of nowhere. His expressions darkens and becomes a furious frown. His white, silvery energy then turns into a void, jet black version of it.
"Imaginary 2.0 - Deep Transmigration!"
He claps his hands together and red markings begin to cover the trail that he made by thrusting the swords into the ground. Not only that, but the pieces of scattered metal and gear would levitate and move towards this trail.
"I call upon your name, bearer of the mark. Manifest fear, confront it with a heroic will!!"
The red markings would then begin to leave the ground as they take a long and elongated form. The metal and blades fuse together, becoming many different and unique parts while the many gears join together with each part of it.
"Imaginary 2.31 - Deep Alloy Serpent!!"
Finally, after a blinding light covers the arena, it appears. All the metal and gears took the form of a gigantic, metallic snake with red markings all over its body, very sharp and ancient textures. It's mouth was nothing but a mess of blades, just like its scales.
"...bow to my will."
The serpent then lets out a massive roar, uncharacteristic of a snake.
N smiles to Yumina.
Of course you can watch. Now, I'll follow your lead, Chie.
He follows Chie through the back door to outside, stretching his arms and legs.
Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is N.
And a Pokemon is a sort of animal. My partner happens to be a fairly powerful one, in fact.
Now, come, Reshiram!
A roar can be heard from above, and a streak of white and red flies across the sky before it descends down to them. A gust of wind throws dust into the air as it flaps it's wings, before landing with a heavy slam to the ground. It stands tall, looking down at Chie from across the field.
This'll be a simple sparring match. I suppose we can keep track of our own stamina, and call it to an end when we feel it's necessary. Are you prepared?
Alto would wince for a moment at the roar causing him to step back a bit as well.
Alto would just look towards the creature with amazement. He had never seen such a skill used before. This serpent was much larger and more complex than even the mud dolls the earth witch could produce.
"Woah, what exactly is that thing? Is that some kind of familiar? Either way, do you intend for me to fight it here? I have no problems doing so but not sure how much you'd learn from watching me do that."
Chie would just stare up at the Pokemon for a moment, holy crap that thing is big! Almost as huge as Izanami's true form in fact...
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be I guess! Now then... I wonder what kinda stuff this thing uses?"
The blasts of wind blowing against her would cause Chie to raise her hands up, bracing her feet to evade being sent flying backward.
"Now then, I guess I'll take the first move here so without further ado... POWER CHARGE!"
A blue card takes shape in front of the woman as she spins around and smashes a foot through it, a woman in gold and black samurai armor with a red double-sided laser blade would take shape in front of her. She spins her weapon around for a moment and a green light engulfs them and vastly raises their physical strength, at least the next time they strike.
You got this, Green!
*Marie would grin to herself as she also joins the watching party for Chie's fight with.... N and Reshiram. This world was truly crazy.*
Hmm... Power Charge? Sounds like something that'd bolster their attack, based on the name and what it did... Like Swords Dance possibly?
N looks to Reshiram, and the two nod at each other.
Reshiram, Noble Roar!
Reshiram brings it's head back, before letting out an intimidating roar, and a blue light surrounds Chie before falling to the ground, which lowers her offense.
Now, we brace ourselves.
(edited by Natural)
"I wanted you to make me get a bit serious for once, since normally that's difficult for me..."
Kazuo takes a deep breath, and so does the serpent. It keeps glaring at Alto with its small, inexpressive eyes, that still manage to invoke a very particular sense of fear, danger and anger.
"I am a learner, driven by my own desires, dreams and goals. So you could call me ambitious."
He quickly moves towards Alto, and the serpent disappears in a black vortex.
"It's not a familiar, but a being created by a part of the identity of others I've met before. Deep Alloy Serpent was born from me combining their pieces into something new. It looks like it does because it's fear taken shape because of Lowe, its main attacks are the way they are because of Sayaka's self righteousness."
Kazuo would then look at his right arm. With a white, silvery aura in place, his arm turns into something more akin to the claws of a demon.
"It's alive due to the demonic nature of that one demon kiddo, Steve."
His hand goes back to normal as he smiles at Alto.
"And you also gave me something to work with. Charge Slash will be really useful for me~!"
His colorless aura disappears as soon as he says this. After that, he would use a handkerchief to clean his wound, as it wasn't anything too serious.
"The only issue is that I cannot use any of these abilities as effectively as the original users unless I train them."
Huh.....
Power charge....
I wonder.....
Yumina taps on her menu a few times
What would I use to trigger that?
She watches the fight, hoping for inspiration
Alto would look back at Kazuo almost shocked at this revelation. He wasn't sure what to make of copying the powers of others but he felt in no position to judge such a thing considering his own role. In the end, Alto would just smile back not believing there was anything too wrong with what Kazuo might be doing.
"That's...pretty impressive. I didn't think that such an ability existed. I wonder if there's a limit to what you can learn to do. My sword skills are entirely my own but they're not exactly something unique to me. Can you even learn to do something that someone was born with? Something they have without learning it or would that be outside your power?"
The woman smirks, she's a bit weaker than before but that can be solved. For now... Well she's still above and beyond her usual state.
"GOD'S HAND!"
Chie rushes forward, aiming to slam her legs into the Pokemon's own, of course, that's a simple feint. Her Persona would burst toward the Pokemon's head, a glowing golden fist forming on her right hand. As she moves toward it, Chie keeps slamming into the left leg with shocking force, but finally Haraedo would aim to slam her blow right into the foe's skull. Bashing away with strength well beyond what one might expect before the fist vanishes, and the green aura around both Chie and her Persona disappear as well.
"Phew, that one made us a bit weaker but well, Power Charge is one time only ya know! This seems more like the usual debuffs to me so it's not as strong as that effect!"
"Well, you showed me your ability so I might as well."
Kazuo clears his throat.
"I can copy the properties of another being. This means that I can copy almost any kind of ability as long as certain requirements are met. One of them is watching the specific ability happen before my eyes, but this ONLY after the first, and most important step, which I'm not revealing just yet. Then, I "paste" it into my own spirit. This process has to be repeated each time."
He would then raise 5 fingers.
"However, there ARE limits. First of all, it must be possible for my own human body to take it, for example if I tried to grow in size then I would just die. I cannot modify what's inside of me. I cannot copy the properties of another twice at the same time, this means I can only copy one of the many skills they may have, and only hope to get another by deleting the one I had before first. It's impossible for me to copy entire fighting styles, just specific moves. And finally..."
He would then add another one more finger with his other hand.
"I have 6 "Imaginary" slots for any kind of skill that I can take."
Despite the force, Reshiram's leg stands firm against Chie's kick, while it clashes head-first with Haraedo's God's Hand. It gets pushed back a bit, but it growls in return and holds it's ground. N smiles, walking over and putting his hand on Reshiram's other leg.
Reshiram is a tough one. Although I doubt he could've taken that so well should we not have been prepared.
Grabbing onto Reshiram's body, N climbs atop the Pokemon, who then pushes itself away from Chie and her Persona.
Now, Reshiram, grab it by the arm!
Reshiram lets out a loud cry, flapping it's wings and rushing towards Haraedo, going for a bite on it's arm with an open mouth.
Alto would find these rules very interesting. It was an odd power to be sure but his true power was equally as odd. With that in mind, he would begin to feel a little guilty. He didn't actually properly explain his role or abilities aside from his swordplay.
"I guess I should say something about what I really am too. It's only fair since you went into such detail with your own abilities. This sword is my power as a knight but I have another title as well. I'm called a conductor.
What I did earlier, for example, was gathering sound around my body. It actually doesn't do much at the moment but if I were to give that energy to...well...anyone who can sing in general amazing things can happen.
Uh, I'm not really good at explaining this but it really depends on the individual and what's in their heart. Sorry if that wasn't a good explanation, I don't really have a firm grasp on how all of it works either."
Alto would suddenly come to a realization of sorts as he pulls out what seems to be a pocket watch but it wouldn't be displaying the time. Instead, the watch would contain multiple empty panels shaped like circles all around it.
The circles would be either blue or red with the current circle at the top being blue. The blue circle at the top would fade away as all the circles seemed to rotate causing a red one to take its place.
"Oh, I've got to go! Sorry for leaving like this but it was nice meeting you, Kazuo!"
Alto would make for the door seeming to be in a hurry. He would leave the building and begin heading off down the street.
Reshiram is indeed able to latch onto Haradeo's arm.
"Tough indeed, but how do you like this one!"
The Persona roars with rage, spinning the other hand holding it's blade and slamming it into Reshiram's left eye, it would aim to stab the thing straight through as the Pokemon grabs onto its arm, Chie herself wincing in pain as she feels a bit of damage being done to the Persona.
"I can't deny that hurts, but I think it just might hurt him more than it does us."
Kazuo would put his hands inside of the pockets of his jacket. He closed both eyes and smiled at Alto as he left without saying nothing at all. He kept in mind what he said about his powers. Obviously he can now perform the one move he saw, but the thing is that it was based around sound. That alone meant that he would never be able to pull it off as effectively unless he fused it with another of his abilities.
"It should be fine, the only limit, in reality, is my imagination after all."
He chuckles at this and takes a sit on the floor, watching the other pair fight.
"I wonder~"
As the blade swings down, N grits his teeth, before patting Reshiram on the back of the neck.
Now, Reshiram, push yourself away with a Flamethrower!
Flames suddenly burst out from Reshiram's mouth, spraying all over Haraedo as the blast manages to clear Reshiram of the slice. Reshiram continues to move backwards after the flames die down by flapping it's wings, before finally hitting the ground a fair distance away.
I see... I suppose close quarters is a bit of a bad idea for us.
The flames slam into the Persona, the sound of glass breaking filling the air as Chie winces in pain and sighs to herself.
"Fire huh? That's kinda my weakness... And geez I feel worn out, guess that last fight today was harder than I thought, sorry N but um I think we need to call it here. I'd say this one was your win though! Despite how brief it was... Anyway, we should have a proper match sometime when I haven't already worn myself down in another fight!"
The woman would wave cheerfully to him and begin walking off, her usual cheer much more subdued as she exits the building. Geez, she really overestimated herself, or maybe she's just having an off night? Oh well, at least it was a good day on the whole. And with that, the woman's gone from sight.
All right, if you're feeling out of the ordinary, it's probably for the best if we stop then.
It was very enjoyable. Let's hope for another chance to do this! Take care!
N waves as Chie leaves, before turning his attention back to the Pokemon he's atop.
Reshiram, my friend, are you okay?
Reshiram lets out a grunt, looking back at N. N nods, having a clear understanding of his Pokemon.
Ah, good. Now, let's head off! I wonder where the wind will take us today...
Reshiram roars, and it's tail bursts into flames. It gains some height off the ground with it's wings, before blasting off into the sky.
Deneb snaps awake, but the first thing he notices is his solitude in the GYM. He looks around, growing more and more fearful.
"How long was I asleep...? Where did everyone go? This doesn't happen often... I suppose I shall just wait and be the first to greet any new arrivals. Hm. Hm."
Deneb nods to himself with confidence.
