Be Devoured by Darkness!!
(Ragna uses the gigantic claw he has as a right hand and attempts to get a better hold of him by lifting him above his head. And in the blink of an eye, masses of dark crimson energy is formed under Ragna, only to then bombard Hazama with hundreds of dark tendrils, finishing with an explosion of darkness from the hand itself.)
Not a fragment will be left… Chew up!
*Gamma chuckles and walks towards the indoor ring, ice trailing behind him*
Suit yourself kitty. Though I warn you, it might be quite a bit more than you bargained for.
Alright. I got a little time, so a quick match should work! *He hops off the bench and follows Gamma*
Wha- Ugh!
*sora almost uses the barrier but sora was pushed too much, almost to the wall*
You are stronger than i expected, But i won't take myself back!
*sora uses a shot lock to make a multiple Meteor Showers, thanks to his final form, after that he rushes faster than he was, like he almost disappeared, he uses Crime & Punishment, which allowed his two of his keyblade held in each hand unleashes powerful magic spells, by this, he uses bizzaga, which he uses one of his keyblade to cast him, which makes him frozen, after that, the other keyblade uses fire to make a huge technical damage thanks to crime and punishment ability*
(Eizen walks into the gym and begins looking around.)
people are still fighting here it seems. I'd almost say the people here are obsessed with violence, but I can't say that I haven't resorted to violence often either.
*Gamma sighs as his persona forms around him*
Oh it'll be quick alright. Shi-
*Gamma stops upon hearing Eizen*
Fantastic, Blondie's here to preach to us just as I was about to get started.
Look, I'm no fan of fighting, but whenever I have to.
*Gamma crosses his arms and grins*
I most certainly won't lose.
[Hazama is sent flying backwards, still intact but injured pretty heavily. Conveniently, he lands right next to the bench where Cait and Gamma are talking. Hazama flashes the two a sarcastic wave, and struggles to his feet.]
Damn, that cat sure knows how to pick 'em.
(Eizen looks at the violet haired boy with a sigh.)
Preach? I have nothing to preach, everyone can make their own decisions. That's the freedom that comes with being your own person.
Dibs on first turn, then. Masukukaja, Black Cat!
*The odd-eyed black cat appears and yowls, creating a green aura around Cait*
*The "girl" slowly opened the doors and peaked inside the gym. After checking it, "she" went inside, hoping no one would notice and sat on the bench, taking out her phone and sitting on the bench.*
"I'm only here because I'm waiting for that tourney to start." she mumbled to herself, scrolling through her photos that seem to be of a part time worker at Leblanc and his pet cat.
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head*
Great, you wasted my time Blondie.
*Gamma casts Hazama a sideways glance*
Welcome back to the land of the living I guess. Been forever since you bothered showing your face.
Shiranui, Ice Age.
*a sheet of ice spreads from the ground beneath Gamma, soon covering his side of the ting, and spreading towards Cait*
Aaaand here we go again! Maragi! *A wave of flames shoots outwards to melt away the ice. The demon grins and charges forward, sword drawn*
(Eizen sits down and just stares at the floor.)
Not a very friendly one are you?
*The Maragi melts a few feet of the ice, seriously slowing its spread*
Yeah yeah, you have fire, big deal. Gonna need to be either a lot bigger, or a lot smarter to do anything with it.
Again Shiranui, Ice Age.
*Another layer of ice spreads from beneath Gamma's feet, it is much larger than the previous one, and quickly overtakes the initial area before..... Stopping as Gamma looks over to Eizen*
Some would call me cold, heartless even. Its no matter to me. I.... All I have to be is true to myself, nothing else matters.
(Piccolo launches a barrage of ki blasts to meet the shot locks.)
Ha! You think that's enough to beat me? Hahahaha-
(Piccolo is promptly frozen and flamed. He breathes heavily.)
Haah...haaah...you...might be stronger than Krillin.
(He lets out a haughty laugh before bringing his right arm up to his head, his index and middle finger on his forehead.)
MAKAKOSSAPPA!
(*Not that one, again.*)
MASAKAKAPO
{*Not quite right there either Piccolo, again.*}
(He shouts in annoyance.)
Fuck you both.....again! SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!
(The beam drill that is a beam and also a drill fires from Piccolo's fingers as he points at Sora's chest.)
Gladly. Fire Dance! *With increased speed and a little luck, five jets of ice fly out from Cait's sword. Three strike the ice in front of him, and two others fly towards Gamma (med fire damage for each strike)*
C'mon, is that really all you got, hollow fuck!?
(Ragna walks towards Hazama on a steady way, his injuries are almost gone thanks to his Drive ability. He prepares his sword to finally get rid of Hazama.)
Get up!!
I'm not done with you just yet...!
*She cringed at the surging edge coming from Gamma's words. Meanwhile she also looked back at Piccolo to see him fighting against Sora, her being about 3 yards away from them now to see them in a much better view.*
(Eizen smiles upon hearing Gamma's resolve.)
Seems we can at least agree on that. Shouldn't follow anyone's path but your own. Freedom is the one thing that everyone truly seeks after all.
*The fire makes a significant dent in the field of ice, melting about halfway through it. Hearing Cait's shout Gamma quickly turns back to him*
Shiranui, Diamond Dust.
*6 spears of ice form in the air around Gamma as Shiranui roars, two of them fly into the jets of flame, melting and quenching the fire, while the other four arc outwards before converging in towards Cait. If dodged these four spears would meet, shattering into dozens of pieces going every direction*
*Unable to avoid the spears in time, Cait slashes a card as he is hit.* Gah! Garudyne!
*Black Cat yowls and creates a tornado under Cait, sending him upwards and towards Gamma*
ooc: does it even can make across the barrier?
IC:
Gah!
*as he was damaged by green guy's beam, he was almost dead, but thanks to second chance ability, he was about to be awake*
*pant* *pant* i think you are stronger than me i guess, but... i can't give up just yet....
*he returned to his normal form, even his keyblade, almost tired, but at this moment, sora noticed gamma fighting hazama, he was surprised at this moment, he felt a strong aura of his darkness to hazama*
Is that.... gamma? who is that guy that fighting to gamma, gamma's in danger.... but....
*he turns his head to the green guy*
i need to finish this guy first...!
*sora prepared himself again*
Come at me! i'm ready!
*Gamma sighs as he looks up at Cait*
That barely worked the first time. Certainly won't work a second.
Shiranui, Maiegaon.
*roughly a dozen tendrils of darkness form in the air around Gamma as he stands there, glaring at Cait. four of them reach towards him in an attempt to grab and slam him into the ice below, while the other eight fill the air around Cait to block off escape*
ooc: wait, is gamma fighting hazama or cait?
OOC: He's fighting Cait..... And most certainly not in danger... Awww.... How cute.
Lemme light that up for ya. Fire Dance!
*In a sudden burst of insane logic, Cait sends out three jets of flame. Two fly out to light up or intercept the tendrils, while the third flies towards Gamma*
ooc: i'll take what i did back, except for standing and prepared to himself.
*two of the tendrils match the jet, burning out alongside them, as the others surround Cait, and close in to grab him... The tendrils stop in mid-air for a moment as Gamma quickly forms a wall of ice to block the third burst*
You really just don't know your place, do you? Oh well, carry on Shiranui.
*The nine tendrils begin to move again, closing in on Cait from all sides and attempting to drag him onto the ice*
Garudyne! *Black Cat, still at ready, yowls again and forms a whirlwind underneath Cait. It pushes him upwards- and with Wind Amp, it just might overpower the tendrils and send Cait up high*
(Piccolo grins.)
Well, anymore than this and you'd be slaughtered. You're tough kid, but you need to know when to fold.
(He walks over to his cloak and turban, putting them on quickly. Piccolo then walks over to Sora, fishing two beans out of his cloak.)
Here kid. Eat this, it'll bring back your strength.
(He tosses the bean through the air to Sora and eats the other bean himself.)
*chew*
Don't dodge that though. Heh.
*he smiled then, then he uses the reflect again*
you felt right about it!
*he point his keyblade into the green guy's chest, which makes a beam to make him asleep, and confusion*
*pant* *pant* did i made him asleep...?
*The tendrils above Cait wrap around him first, slowing his ascent enough for the others to latch on... The tendrils begin to snap, one by one, leaving roughly 6 as Gamma grins and grabs one that is attached to Cait's arm*
Shiranui, Ice Age
*Another tendril snaps as ice rapidly spreads along the one Gamma grabbed, soon reaching Cait and beginning to freeze his off-arm. A sixth tendril snaps, leaving 4 preventing Cait's ascent*
If I use Maragi, the Garudyne will die out... Black Cat, keep it up! *Instead of sending fire at the tendril around his frozen arm, he slashes at it with his sword the best he can. If the tendrils' pull prevents that, he'll bite at it with his kitty teeth instead.*
(Piccolo is promptly put to bed, but sleep flies out of the GYM.)
*another tendril snaps, leaving three, before they stop resisting Cait's wind and instead, simply remain attached as he flies upwards. Cait's sword-arm is now completely free as he chips at the ice on his off-hand, seemingly stopping the spread. Gamma grabs another tendril with his left*
Second verse, same as the first. SHiranui.
*Another wave of ice spreads along the tendril attached to Cait's right leg, Causing ice to spread there as well*
Now for part two. Maragi! *Black Cat and the Garudyne fade as flames surround Cait. They're dangerously close to his body, but it should be enough to melt the ice and possibly weaken the tendrils around his body*
*sora uses curaga to heal himself, and heal the green guy*
phew... it was exhausted....
*notices gamma*
huh... isn't that.... gamma, fighting with the cat heartless?
*goes to gamma*
*Gamma sighs as Cait burns through the remaining tendrils, as well as melting most of the ice, causing him to begin falling*
Very well then, Shiranui, Dormina.
*Gamma's persona roars and then rushes straight towards Cait, if it connects giving Cait a feeling of exhaustion*
*yawn* i feel sleepy now...
*sora raises his keyblade, opens the light portal and goes in, the light portal closes*
*Oh, hey, the cat's asleep now. Nice. He wakes up when he gets the ground, obviously, but he gets a few solid seconds of rest.*
*Shiranui, Ice Age.
*Cait lands on the ice, which promptly begins to spread up his limbs as Gamma sends another wave. With ice to build upon already this wave looms over Cait and threatens to engulf him completely*
Maragi! *Flames surround Cait once more. However, the resulting dome of ice blocks him from view. Is this game...?*
*Gamma sighs and continues the spread of the next wave, until the entire arena is covered in ice*
I don't know if you can recover from that.
*Gamma shrugs*
But since you're a demon I guess you'll probably just reform from the aether or whatever. So its not like I killed anyone.
*A pillar of fire rises from the dome of ice. Cait leaps out... or at least, he attempts to. Something tugs him back down...*
...My cape is still stuck in there, isn't it. Well, either way, I'm doomed. Congrats! *He blasts a quick Maragi at the inside of the hole and climbs out*
Good game. See ya! *He waves and runs off, nearly falling on his face because of the ice*
*Gamma sighs and walks off to the side, sitting at a bench, the indoor ring still frozen solid*
I guess that went better than expected for him....
Not that it matters of course. He's a demon, he'd just come back anyways. No issues, none at all.
(Eizen perks up with the fighting done.)
Not bad, I'd say your a pretty decent fighter for one so young. That's a interesting style of fighting you got there.
*Gamma looks up at Eizen and chuckles*
For a moment I thought I froze you by accident.
As for my fighting style, its pretty simple. I use the ice to keep them far away.
*Gamma looks at the ground between his feet*
As long as no one gets anywhere near, its practically impossible for them to hurt me. Basic strategy really.
(Eizen smirks as he slips a coin in his hand into the air before catching it and looking it over. The side the coin has landed on shows the face of a reaper.)
Whatever it takes to stay alive. In the end of a fight, that's all that matters right. As for myself, I've made it pretty far with only my fists as my weapon. May not sound like much but let's just say I don't have the best luck in the world exactly.
*Gamma looks at Eizen out the corner of his eye*
So you pretty much just punch things. Respectable
*Gamma sighs and takes a solid metal rod off his back*
I don't actually have reason to use this thing much anymore. But it is my weapon of choice. Was never strong enough for boxing or anything, so I needed a little edge. But it felt... Meaningless, to use anything complicated. So I go with what basically amounts to some extra reach... Probably pretty out of practice by now..
(Eizen looks Gamma's weapon over to size it up.)
A blunt weapon? That could be pretty useful, maybe I'm overstepping my bounds since we just met but wouldn't it be wise to be well practiced in close range combat. The ice you use is effective if you can keep components away as you've said but what happens if someone finds a way to close that distance?
*Gamma sighs and looks around at the otherwise empty GYM*
Normally I'd probably laugh you off for such a suggestion. But it has been a problem in the past. I could use the ice again if I make skin contact, but if they're close enough to prevent me from concentrating, without letting me touch them... Well I will admit, it would be problematic to say the least.
(Eizen crosses his arm and looks at Gamma.)
Well, you do have potential, that much I could tell even from far away. If you want I could teach you a thing or two about close combat but only so you could defend yourself. I'd hate to see a kid with so much potential die easily.
I don.....
*Gamma stands up and sighs, looking around the gym, arms behind his head*
Very well then Blondie. I won't deny there are some problems. If you're serious about trying to work through a few of them, then be my guest. I... I've never been the fastest learner though.
Still, I guess its better than nothing.
(Eizen nods at Gamma before smiling.)
Alright, but you should know I won't go easy on you. A serious battle is a life or death situation after all and holding back would only be a disservice.
*She happily walks into the GYM*
Hey guys!
*She waves at the only two people currently in*
My best friend wanted to see so fighting so here I am!
Don't mind me i'll just be watching.
*She takes a seat on the nearest chair*
*A snake perched on her shoulder watches with ruby eyes.*
*Gamma waves at Ene and the snake before turning back to Eizen, scratching the back of his head*
Well, sorry I kinda ruined the ring, but if its just close-quarters we shouldn't cause to much destruction anyways.
*Gamma slowly draws his staff and stands holding it, legs shoulder-width apart*
Go ahead, show me what you can do.
[Hazama shrugs, chuckling despite his injuries.]
Turns out getting your soul ripped out can mess you up, who would have guessed. I guess I'm still not at my full strength. Whatever. I'd love to stay and listen to you prattle on Raggy, except I want to be doing literally anything except that. So, I'm outta here. Toodles!
[He slashes a hole open in the floor, and leaps through it. It Quickly closes behind him, leaving Ragna without anyone to yell at. Except maybe Gamma. Fuck that guy.]
(Eizen's smile fades as he takes on a serious expression and prepares his fists.)
Alright, then let's get started.
(Suddenly, Eizen rushes forward with a burst of wind as punches at Gamma with his right hand aimed at his staff.)
*Gamma is taken back by the sudden burst of speed, before he lets go of one end of his staff and lets it get knocked back by the punch, with the staff now horizontal Gamma attempts to shove the end of it into Eizen's chest*
*Tonight, Migrant WALKS into the GYM.*
Ah, so much better than last night already.
*She claps with joy at the spectacle*
Looks like the battle started off fun Snake-chan!
GET BACK HERE YOU SNAKE BASTARD!!
(Ragna tries to stab Hazama with his sword, but the rift is closed before he can even get to him, ending with him piercing through the floor.)
Damn it!
There he goes again, how did he even do that!?
(Ragna sits on the floor, right next to his sword and crosses both arms with a expression of annoyance.)
So Terumi and the Susanoo Unit are here too...shit, this is not good.
(He then lets out a loud sigh and stands up, taking his sword and placing it behind him. He tunrs to look at the fight for a moment before walking out.)
Anyway, not my problem.
(Eizen backs off from Gamma by pushing against the ground to avoid the strike to his chest.)
Not bad. Well now that I'm done sizing up what you're capable of...
(Eizen once again rushes forward with a breeze of wind and strikes at Gamma left side first before following with a swift left hook.)
*Kalib walks downstairs with a yawn.*
Hyaaaaah~! What's all the hubbub?
*He moves behind the counter and grabs a bottle of water from the fridge, his eyes still adjusting to the light.*
*Gamma momentarily looks up at the sound of Migrant's arrival, resulting in him getting struck in his left. Brought back to the fight Gamma swings at Eizen's left hook, but is much too slow to meet it.*
H.... You must have been doing this for years...
*instead of stopping Eizen's left hand, Gamma attempts to wedge it between his hip and his staff and twist Eizen's wrist*
Hey Kalib, some folks are fighting I guess.
*She waves at Kalib*
Hiya friend!
I'm just here showing the little guy some fights.
*She pets Snake-chan's head at this*
Now that he is a year older he wants to learn how to fight.
(Eizens winces in pain from his wrist getting twisted.)
Not a bad tactic but you're left wide open.
(Eizen reels back before striking at Gamma's stomach with his right fist.)
*His eyes adjust immediately upon hearing Ene's voice, je tries to keep his cool as he opens his bottle of water and takes a sip from it.*
Ah! Hey Ene! The little guy wants to get stronger huh?
*He leans against the counter and gives Mig a wave before returning attention to Ene with a warm smile.*
Can he do anything? Like outside of snake based stuff. Maybe I could help train the him?
Psh, love. *grins a bit* Go get it.
So, anyone here looking for a fight? I'd like to give my Shaigis-repaired leg a workout.
*Gamma's breath is knocked out by the right hook, he lets go of the staff and tries to grab Eizen's arm*
S... Shiranui...
*Ice slowly begins to creep from where Gamma made contact, aiming to freeze his arm*
*Kazuya sighs as he stands in front of the GYM. "Not really a place I frequent, I don't like fighting all that much but..." He thinks, being hesitant at first. But then, he just smiles at himself.*
It'll be fine, just saying hi to them.
*Kazuya then decides to enter the GYM and looks around, although still with some anxiety.*
*She thinks for a second with her eyes raised to the ceiling*
Umm I think he can absorb abilities or something like that.
*Snake-chan tilts his head up and whispers to her*
*She instantly rubs her head with embarrassment*
Oops he actually negates abilities not absorbs them.
Weird for some reason I thought he did the other thing.
*Kalib takes another sip and looks at the snake.*
And let me guess, his eyes are the key to this ability?
*He flashes a grin and winks at Ene.*
Seems to be the way things around you work!
(Ice begins to slowly cover Eizen's arm but he remains calm.*
Sorry, but a bit of ice won't do much to me...
(Eizen takes a step back as he firmly places his foot on the ground causing it to crack and shake, as the earth beneath Gamma begins shaking and trying to throw him off-balance.)
The key to fighting in close combat is to be adaptable, you froze my arm but those aren't my only weapons...
(Eizen rushes in to try and knock Gamma down with a swift sweep of his legs.)
*Kalib catches sight of Kaz and waves him over, wearing a concerned smile.*
*She vigorously nobs her head while Snake-chan narrows his eyes at Kalib*
Yep all this cancelling business is in the eyes!
*She then poses after setting Snake-chan on the chair*
We can't help having fabulously powerful eyes!
*After finishing her pose she then notices Kaz*
Oh hey friend!
Have you come to admire some excellent fighting as well!
*Sees Kaz and glares....*
*Gamma nearly falls over as the ground shakes*
Adaptable you say, like go with the flow...
*rather than attempt to stand his ground, Gamma allows his legs to be swept from under him, moving forward to tackle Eizen*
*Kalib finishes his bottle of water and tosses it into the recycling bin before looking back to the snake.*
So, eyes are important. Got it. I'm assuming the opponent would need to look him in the eyes for it to take effect, correct?
*He smiles at the snake, staring back at him.*
*Kazuya looks at Kalib's expression and smiles at him, although with some shame at first, quickly dismissing it into a much more warm smile. He waves at both Kalib and Ene.*
Hey, it's been a while!
And...well, I wouldn't say "admire", but more like...spend some time with people.
(Eizen watches as Gamma moves forward to try and tackle him.)
Exactly.
(A green circle covers the ground where Eizen is standing.)
Malak Art: Wind Lance!
(A burst of air in the shape of a cone comes forth as Eizen holds up his left hand in the direction Gamma is lunging at him from.)
*He grins at Kaz and offers his hand.*
I've missed ya buddy! A lot has been going on and I've been worried...but I'm glad to see you're fine!
*Naoto enters the GYM and sits down, watching everyone silently*
*Gamma is unable to dodge the burst of air as he lunges forward, so it knocks him back on his rear, Gamma scratches his head*
Geeze, I thought we were just doing hand to hand. How do you channel magic that quickly?
*Blinks at Naoto for a moment before waving*
Hey there. Uh... nice hat.
*She suddenly feels a bit dizzy as Snake-chan avoids Kalib's gaze in favor of meeting hers*
*She slowly takes a seat and begins to awkwardly laugh*
Well I can't really tell you that.
*Her hands moves in a silencing motion*
A lady has to keep all her secrets close to the chest.
*She then quickly turns to focus on Kaz*
Well i'm glad to see you again!
Thanks, Miss. Nice...everything.
Yeah, I guess my time hasn't come yet, and because of that, I'm happy.
*Kazuya accepts his gesture and shakes his hand with his usual smile.*
And you're not lying, way too much has been happening as of late...it's been kind of tiring too, in a really weird way, it takes me back, you know?
*He lets out a small chuckle and turns to Ene.*
Still, I'm more worried about you guys than anything, or myself really, any virtual world we must go through again, Ene?
What was that with the..."snake"?
(Eizen gets up and extends his left hand to Gamma.)
Well, you did freeze my arm. Might have been able to tell by now but I'm not exactly human. Magic already naturally flow within me so it's not that hard to channel it as long as I've already got the adrenaline in my system.
Wait.... did you just compliment my everything?
*seemed downright surprised!*
W-well then, I suppose we owe each other names.
I'm Mic--er-- you can just call me Migrant. The best Idol in the Nexus!....dontgolisteningtoitsukislies....
And pretty good fighter. When I'm not short one leg thanks to Yu...
*he opens a Rift to outside the GYM, he scoffs as it looks old and rundown but thinks on how appearances being decieving he steps inside brushing off his trousers*
I was told that Kalib was here. I wish to speak with him.
*Gamma accepts Eizen's help getting up*
Yeah, sorry about that. The ice is kinda reflexive by now. Guess routines like that are bad though, right?
*Gamma catches sight of the commotion around Ene*
Sorry Blon.....
You know, I feel like we should actually introduce ourselves sometime. Can't call you Blondie forever. But I should probably get going.... Looks like there might be trouble over there.
*Gamma walks over to Ene, Kaz, and Klib with a smile*
Gee, what a lovely little reunion we have here, isn't it? Still, I feel like I could cut the tension with a knife. Loosen up a little guys.
Nope no more virtual worlds I can promise you that friend!
*She suddenly shakes her head*
I mean Kazuya!
*Her hand reaches out to gently pet Snake-chan*
Nothing much of importance about my friend.
*Snake-chan's eye open just a bit to watch Kaz*
He just wanted to watch a few fights but now he suddenly feels tired.
*Kalib steps back from the counter and nods.*
I can understand that, sorry for prying a bit too much Ene.
*He bows his head to her and then to Snake-chan.*
You too buddy, sorry.
*He raises his head again and looks to Kaz with an air of confidence.*
We always get through it though Kaz! You just need to believe in yourself and the friends that believe in you!
*Kazuya points at Gamma with a deadpan expression.*
You can smile?
*The strange boy extends his hand to Mig*
My name is Naoto Shirogane. The pleasure is all mine, Miss Migrant. I only recently got here, so this is one of the only places I know of.
*Kalib turns from Gamma to wave over NotIgor.*
Yo! That's me!
(Eizen looks over to the group.)
Lot of people gathering around. Might be better for me to leave, wouldn't want anyone getting hurt because of me.
(Eizen slowly begins trying to make his way to the door without anyone noticing. He casually flips his coin and catches it in his hand while looking at the result and smiling sadly.)
*Gamma's smile quickly fades as he gives Kazuya a cold glare*
Its called trying to relieve the mood. Sorry if you've never heard of it. You may not remember, but I AM somewhat involved here, regardless of what I say.
*Gamma looks back at Ene and the snake and smiles*
Sorry about all the commotion, perhaps it would be better to meet somewhere quieter next time. I gave you my number so it should be easy to arrange if you so desire.
*Kazuya turns to Kalib and nods.*
You're not really wrong, but still.
*He covers his face for a moment, hinting at "stress" from his part. But after this, he lifts up his face once more, smiling. Although that changes for a moment when he notices the Brawny man.*
Is that Boss...? What is he doing here...?
It would seem we are partners in the upcoming tournament. I thought it wise to introduce myself. My name is Frederich Inorgto. A pleasure to meet you.
*he extends his hand for what seems to be a handshake, his hand holds steady ready to use the shake to display his strength through the firmness of his grip*
Kalib-san, after you speak to him, I'd like to take you up on your offer.
*She slightly smiles at Kalib*
It's fine friend.
The two of us are just holding back a few things to win for once.
*She then turns to Gamma with a thumbs up*
Don't know what your talking about but i'm fully relaxed!
Wow, I wasn't expecting your Persona this early.
*Kazuya laughs for a bit before mimicking Gamma's expression.*
Shiranui, Ice Age.
*And after laughing for a bit, he calm down and sits in a nearby chair.*
Oh well, at least no one is trying to kill me here, that's good!
And you know my name so that makes things quick. I look forward to fighting alongside you. And welcome to GYM, my establishment.
*Sensing the notion behind the handshake, Kalib focuses all of his strength as he meets the man's hand withhis own. His grip not seeking to crush the man's hand but to put on display his own level of power, trying to reach a mutual trust through this act.*
*Gamma sighs as Kaz walks away, before looking back at Ene*
I know you flourish in these kinds of environments, but I'm not so sure about your friend.
*Gamma briefly glances to the snake, still smiling*
After all, its important to take care of him too.
I never got the chance to thank you both for the party.
*he chuckles at Kalib's grip*
I see we will have no trouble getting along! Before we go past any further formalities, call me Igor. It's a name I've often used.
*Takes the handshake offered*
Well good that this is one of those places you know. There's a lot of crazy and honestly scary places around here. But this is one of the good ones.
Walks and sits down yawning watching the ring. "What's up people?"
Sounds good to me Igor! And agreed, I can only anticipate our camaraderie on the battlefield to be nigh unparalleled!
*Kalib laughs confidently before turning back to Ene.*
Win? Wait, did you enter the tournament too?! Awesome!!
*Naoto chuckles*
Duly noted, Mig-san.
So I will fight you guys no matter what, I see.
*Kazuya laughs for moment.*
The one who wins will have their wishes granted, tell me, what is it that you wish for guys?
*Snake-chan slithers onto her lap and whispers once again into her ear*
*She then turns to Gamma with a brilliant smile*
The little guy says he was glad you came.
He especially liked this offer of yours ...
*She walks over to Gamma and quietly speaks to him*
But he is a bit shy so he can't talk to you about it now.
He knows just the place for another meet up but it would have to be for another day.
*Her eyes seem to take on a yellow tone as she lets out a dramatic sigh*
*Snake-chan's eyes appear to glow a bit red*
We wouldn't want to raise any suspicions now would we.
*he looks over to Kaz*
You already know my wish. To set things TRULY right. I should hope my partner wishes for the betterment of all as well. Or at least a nicer Gym. This place could use some reinforcement, what with these powerful trainees.
*Gamma smiles and steps back a little, still looking at Ene*
I'm glad to hear it, though I'd rather you not step so close. No need to be so worried about me, I'll be just fine on my own.
I hope to see you again soon.
*Gamma glances over Klib, Migrant, and Kazuya*
Though considering what a lot of people think of me, it would probably be a good idea to go somewhere more private.
I look forward to hearing from you.
*Kalib looks at Kaz with a shy smile, his cheeks growing flush.*
Oh uh...I don't know yet! Haha!
Oh you will Gamma.
Soon.
*She offers Gamma one quick smirk before the yellow tinge in her eyes is gone*
*She then faces Kalib with her usual smile*
Yep!
The two of us are going to fight for some awesome prizes!
*She tightly hugs Snake-chan against her chest before raising him up*
I can't wait!
*Sigh*
My work here is done. Goodbye Mig-san and Kalib-san.
*Naoto leaves*
*Gamma yawns and stretches before looking around, noticing the lack of Eizen*
Well then, I think I'll follow Blondie's lead and head out. Have fun fighting each other or whatever kids.
*Gamma walks to the door, briefly waving at the group*
Okay. Hope to see you again sometime! *waves to Naoto and glances over at Igor for a moment.*
*too caught up socializing with his new comrade he doesn't notice Migrant's gaze*
Ah, I feel as though I've enjoyed this place for quite some time. Perhaps another me once had the freedom of training for trainings sake.
*He glances momentarily at Gamma and shrugs it off, returning to his happy demeanor.*
Well I hope to see you both on the battlefield! If we do meet, don't hold anything back!
*He smiles warmly at her.*
You're right Boss, and my "wish" is similar...well, more like along the lines of everyone.
To be honest, just winning this tournament at all will make my "dream" true.
*Kazuya laughs awkwardly and rubs the back of his head.*
.... Perhaps the current you can, as well.
He sighs and jumps up to the ring. "Anyone want to go a round? Honestly I'm bored to death right now and just generally feel like shit. Who wants to come add to that?"
*She returns the wave with an overly eager one of her own*
Bye Gamma!
*She then turn to huff at Kalib*
Of course I won't hold back!
This time we are going to win and show everyone our power!
*She makes for the door as her gaze turns cold*
No one will ever underestimate us again.
*Then as if the gaze never happened she offers a warm smile of her own and leaves*
(Eizen makes it to the door and sighs in relief.)
Time to leave before the Reaper's curse causes something bad to happen to this place. I'm surprised it's still in one piece with me being here so much.
He he! Don't count me out!
*Aitome then walks in, curious from the commotion, jumping into the ring, pulling out dual short swords spinning them in the air before entering a combat stance, eyes red, smiling smugly
I aint holding back this time Mr.Carnival!
*he grins turning to Kalib*
Do you have anything to drink? Training without hydration is a terrible idea!
Smirking he pulls out his Urumi with his free hand and leans on his cane with the other. "Oh dear me, seems Korumi wants to play. Whatever shall we do?" Leaning against the side ring he yawns. "So are you just gonna stand there and quiver in your feet? Or come and get me?"
En-...
*Kalib goes to call out to her but stops himself.*
Never mind....she needs to be alone I guess....
*He leans against the counter and hangs his head.*
Hey Kaz...am I doing something wrong?
(Eizen looks back at the people who have just entered.)
Another fight? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to stick around for a little while longer.
You will train, Boss? Huh, I haven't even seen you fight before, and to think we might have to face eachother in battle...?
*Kazuya laughs and turns to both Kalib and the Brawny man.*
This will be really tough and difficult.
*Kalib hears Igor's request and tosses him a cherry vitamin water from the fridge.
Catch!
*Then, he stands up and walks towards Kalib, with a curious look on his face.*
Doing something wrong...?
What do you mean, is it about her and all that stuff about feelings?
*he grasps it from the air before fiddling with the lid*
Next time let's make it carbonated! But this will do just fine!
*he looks around quizzically before setting his eyes on a bench press*
That will do nicely
*he loads 1,000 kilograms onto the bar 500 kilos on each side and begins rhythmically lifting it up and down effortlessly*
I haven't used these in a while so gauging my strength is a must!
*Kalib sighs and stands up straight.*
I just...don't know...I've been gone for awhile and it looks like she's buddy buddy with Gamma. She isn't using my name either...
*He crosses his arms and looks down.*
Maybe I'm just jealous and overreacting.
*bursts through door with breaching charge* Hey I would like a gym membership.
I just thought you might like to have the first go! Or are you afraid of a girl?
*Aitome's eyes then go pale again, expression normalizing
Sheesh, and you said you wanted to make friends Korumi... at any rate here we go, don't hold back.
*Aitome then runs towards Mr.Carnival, swinging his left blade at Mr.Carnivals body while using the right one to do a vertical downward slash
*Blinks at Pikadaboi and gives finger guns*
I like you already.
*Kalib pulls his trident off the mantle behind him and eyes the newcomer.*
What did my door ever do to you?
*He presses buttons on the register.*
That'll be ten thousand yen for the month pass.
*Kazuya smiles and places one of his hands on Kalib's shoulder.*
Calm down, just try to talk with her, and if you can't, then I can do it for you if possible.
He grins and fakes kisses. "Please me and her are already besties." He lifts his cane and blocks the strike from the right and steps toward the left blade and turning to the side, the downward slash just missing my body. "Oooo how fun." He knees Aitome in the gut and backs out and away from her.
*He smiles at Kaz.*
I'm worried though. Something is off...it seems like we're on the cusp of another big incident. Again, I might be reading too deep. I'll talk to her, Kaz!
Ten thousand yen eh? How does 50 million sound?
*Pulls out gold plated briefcase*
So how long until the next renewal?
With that much? Don't worry about it.
*Prints off a plastic pass for the newcomer.*
The name is Kalib by the way. Welcome to GYM!
Oh really? I can hear alot of muttering in my head right now actually.
*Aitome then gets hit in the gut, stumbling back before jumping up, eyes and hair going red,
Alright! Let the master of close quarters take over this Aitome! You should really stick to using us as persona!
*Korumi then dashes again, slashing away at him multiple times, keeping up the flurry of unrelenting blows,
Thanks mate. Name's Pika.
Pleased to meet you!
*Picks up the briefcase and brings it to a safe in the staff room. He comes out shortlyafter.*
Feel free to use any of the facilities you see here.
"Ta-ta. Korumi, you really shouldn't overestimate yourself. If you say your the best, the someone is going to come and claim that title from you." He jumps back and starts swinging his Urumi around his head. "Personally I don't really want that title but I'm bored. Let's take it." He blocks as many of the strikes as possible but takes a few and starts striking as much as possible with the sword-whip.
*heads into the gym to start working out his almost nonexistent stubs he calls arms*
You'll have to beat me first! And I wont go down easy!
*Korumi then switches to the defensive, using the swords in attempt to block the strikes, a few get through lashing away at her arms but no severe damage is taken, she then jumps back, sheathing the left blade
Hmm! Change of plan! Let me at em Aitome!
*Korumi then fades back, eyes and hair going pale again as Aitome takes a card out, crushing it as a nine-tailed white fox appears running towards Mr.Carnival, claws at the ready, reflecting light from the razor tips before pouncing at Mr.Carnival, swiping at him with both fore paws
*examines tense battle going on in the gym*
Hey Kalib, is this normal?
(She walks through the doors a curious look on her face)
Hmm hello everyone how's it going tonight? Anyone feel like um... Sparing?
(She shrugs and tilts her head)
I'm not really sure what to call it but yeah I need to fight if I'm gonna get any better.
(Homura looks at Kalib and smiles)
And it's nice to see you again Kalib-kun, has anything happened that I missed?
(She looks down and her voice goes a bit lower)
Oh and I guess if you still want I could tell you about Witches...
Aincrad grins and points his cane at Korumi. "Time for a showstopper. Come on out Hephaestus." He grins and watches as Shadow forms in front of him in full giant mode.
"Ello little fox, meet my hammer." Shadows voice deeper then ever. As Korumi's claws sink into Shadows ribs, he swings his hammer down into her main body while Aincrad tosses his cane at Aitomes feet leaving it sticking out the floor.
"Your turn."
*grabs popcorn and a phone to record the battle*
*He grins at Pika.*
Sparring is natural, however things do get hectic sometimes!
*He waves over to Homura with a warm smile.*
Welcome back, and nothing really strange...well nothing overly out of place.
*He nods and speaks quietly.*
I would like to hear more in fact.
*9-Tailed Fox then gets his hard, jumping back at the sudden strike, the fox then raises its hind legs and lowers its front legs, getting ready to pounce
Alright, alright. I'm usually a magic user but that isn't exactly an option at the moment. Let's see here...
*Aitome then picks up the cane, throwing it at Onii-chan to try to distact him as he runs up, trying to grab ahold of Mr.Carnival and throwing him into the air for the Fox to jump at,
Shadow grins and grabs the cane, tossing it off to the side while Aincrad side steps Aitome and kicks him in the back of his knees. "Me thinkth you distracted the wrong person, especially if you wanted to grab me." Shadow then looks at the fox and shrinks down to his human size this time with a pair of gauntlets on. "The only thing the fox will be saying after this is ow."
(She leads him over to an empty corner before speaking in a hushes tone)
Okay Kalib-kun I'm going to trust you with this... First is the basics, they're supernatural beings made of "curses", to sum up they kill humans for one reason or another either by luring people to them or using magic to make people kill themselves.
Witches also have familiars, they're mini witches and if allowed to eat enough people can even become another Witch... You follow so far?
(She looks down at her feet and sighs)
Now congratulations Kalib you know what Incubators tell every Magical Girl ever...
(She pauses before holding her now light filled soul gem out to him)
You want to know why I said what I did before though... That's because when this thing goes totally black I or any Magical Girl would just be another Witch.
(Her eyes water a bit before she wipes them off and smiles sadly)
Of course it's not totally hopeless, as long as I can keep killing Witches and getting Grief Seeds then I can keep myself human... Mostly. So anything else?
*He takes a moment to process the information the young girl is giving him.*
Hmmm....I think I got it. A double edged sword to be sure.
*He brings a hand to his chin, seemingly lost in thought.*
Oh. I do have a question!
*He flashes a confident grin.*
How can I help? Clearly you helping me the other day took some light from your gem, so I want to help fix that!
*Aitome falls to the ground but rolls away, switching into his thief outfit, the Fox disappearing as Aitome takes off his mask, crushing it in his hands as a giant black Cthulu monster takes it place, dark mist seems to emit off the creature
Sheesh! You don't mess around do you, im pretty useless in physical combat but how about this. Tormention, Endless Pain.
*Aitome then slams his fist into the ground, Tormention copying the motion and sending a wave of ice at Mr.Carnival and Onii chan, upon impact with anything it explodes, leaving behind nuclear energy to add insult to injury
*refills his popcorn and grabs a fresh cold coca-cola*
The two stare at the black Cthulhu monster jaws agape. "... That what does the fox say joke was awful." Aincrad says.
"No duh. You thought of it." Shadow respond fists by his side.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Aincrad turns to Shadow and Shadow looks back.
"Sadly always, and get your mind out the gutter." Grinning the two nod to each other and Aincrad runs towards Shadow and Shadow launches him up into the air. Shadow turns to Aitome and bows. "This might hurt a bit sis. I apologize in advance." With that he disappears after the ice hit him leaving a few wounds on Aincrad, and Aincrad gets sent up and uses his Urumi to whip onto one of the beams then jumps down again aiming a punch at Aitomes stomach.
"Superman punch, AWAY!!!!"
(She laughs and looks at him for a moment)
Oh don't worry Kalib-kun I'll help anyone that I can! I've um already fixed it actually... But I guess I could use help hunting now and then? Madoka is. I don't want Madoka fighting honestly she'd do it but no. That's just not something I want for her.
(Homura blushes a moment before shaking her head)
But hmm I guess maybe I could try and get better at actually attacking... Being able to hurt things is always my issue, (she frowns and looks up at the ceiling) I don't even want to hurt things I know are just monsters.
(She laughs bitterly and turns her head to Kalib)
That's kind of silly isn't it? How even if I'm sure fighting is the only right thing to do I still don't want to...
I likethat attitude, helping people for no reasonother than you can. And if you don't want her on the frontlines then I volunteer.
*He smiles at her and holds her left hand.*
And don't be ridiculous, Homura. These hands were meant to protect, to hold onto, not to destroy.
*He looks away for a moment, before turning back to her.*
I hate the idea of killing, momsters or otherwise...but I'd take out anything that threatens my friends. You just need to look at the reason you're fighting, that'll strengthen your resolve!
*With a warm smile he looks down at his hand. Embarrassed, he quickly lets go of her hand as he looks away shyly.*
*Aitome sees the punch coming and simply stands there, slackjawed at what is happening
Well,I suppose that's an attack, apology accepted Onii chan,
*Aitome then takes the hit hard, Tormention scooping him up with his webbed hands as he puts him back up standing, but just about barely
Damn... shouldn't have expected anything less from ya, you are Onii-chan's other self after all! Let's try my final strike then, Tormention! 9 Tailed Fox!
*Aitome then crushes another card from his heart as 9 tails appears, Aitome jumping onto the Fox, riding it as it begins to jump into the sky, meanwhile Tormention generates a giant orb of nuclear energy, throwing it towards Aitome, the fox then begins to spiral, generating a hard shield of light around it as it falls to the ground, Aitome then shouts out
Here is our finisher! Shining Fox!
*the nuclear energy hitting the shield, covering it as the Fox falls to Mr.Carnival, exploding on impact Aitome picking himself up, both personas disappearing as he falls to one knee, completely drained and unable to keep fighting
Did... Did that do it?
(She grins back at Kalib and nods happily)
Yes that's right! Even if it's kinda scary I can't just let people get hurt... And I certainly won't let Madoka get hurt anymore.
(She giggles and looks up at him)
And wow that's pretty forward Kalib... Just calling by my name like that, (she feigns horror at the "scandal") and oh my holding my hand! If I didn't know better I'd think... You like me!
(She bursts out laughing for a moment before giving him a serious look)
I really hope you don't though... I'm um well you're probably a little too old, but regardless well... Boys aren't really my thing.
(She blushes and looks away from him)
I really hope you don't mind that um you'd be surprised by how many do around home...
(She claps her hands and looks over to a ring)
Anyways though care for a match!? Maybe I won't be so bad you knock yourself out for a change?
Yeah I seriously do not understand how this gym works but it's a pretty cool movie theater nonetheless.
*He blushes heavily.*
I told you I already have eyes for one girl!
*He shakes his head and grins.*
But would it really be me being too old and not you being too young? Haha!
*He lets out a small yawn.*
You know I'd gladly accept the fight, but I'm beat. I hate doing this to you, constantly bailing.
Aincrad grinsand bows, tipping his cap towards Aitome and his Personas, grunting a little in pain. "That punch hurts the owner as well. Damn." Swinging his arm around he watches all three coming at him and stands there with open arms. "Come to big brother sister!" He gets full on and gets blown back to the edge of the ring, and ends up coughing and staggering towards Aitome and taps her on the shoulder. "Me and Korumi share the same attributes and both get nulled against me." Coughing he sits down beside her and chuckles. "But damn does that tormentation throw a hard ass punch. I swear that nuclear move gave me nuclear radiation."
(She shrugs and looks around)
It's fine Kalib... I'm a little disappointed but I understand that you need rest, we'll have to do this some other time! I'm sure I can find someone else though.
(She walks around the Gym for someone to practice with)
*He begins heading upstairs but pauses and turns.*
I'll be looking forward to it! Stay safe, Homura!
*He beams before walking up to his apartment.*
Do not choose the Pikachu who already has experience fighting in a turn based monster taming game and is perfectly suited for this situation
Mm!
*Aitome then gets up, still staggering a bit as he speaks
That was a pretty big problem for me, I couldn't switch to Tormention as hes weak to fire and bless, and being primarily spell based it hindered me alot! Luckily for the final strike the light was more of a delivery than actual damage, you did amazing Big Brother!
*Aitome then hugs Mr.Carnival, smiling
Aincrad grins and hugs back with Shadow appearing behind her and hugs as well. "No worries sis, but you have to rely on your own power some times. Name one time during that fight I actually used Heppys Magic, outside of maneuvering. There's more to fighting than just pure power. Magic or physical. The one who wins, is usually the one who can think outside the box." He grins and Shadow puts on a little fireworks show, with his light power. "That or be batshit ridiculous and never allow the other to guess what they are doing."
*Aitome laughs a bit as he respond again,
I think I've got more of the second part! But you are right, I should learn how to utilize my own fighting style as well as making use of the possession, im actually not very good at combat at all, its all Korumi and Tormention guiding me.
Chuckling he gets up and offers Aitome a hand up. "Well if you need a hand, I could teach you somethings, whether or not learning to be as crazy as me will help is up to fate to see. How else am I supposed to complete my character arc of the wise... Slightly old mentor?" He says grinning the whole way.
Shadow sits beside Aitome. "Trust me, even he doesn't understand what's coming out of his mouth. Being in his head is all kinds of weird. Imagine Deadpool with a moral code. And twice as odd,"
*Happening upon GYM, N decided to investigate the establishment.*
Fascinating, so this is how humans choose to advance themselves in combat.
Ah, if only such a practice was commonplace in my region...
(She looks over to N and hears his muttering about fighting)
Oh um hello there, are you here looking to train? I'm Homura Akemi and if you want I guess you could spar with me?
(She smiles at him and bows)
I'm not really that good or anything but I'll do my best!
(Eizen has his eyes closed as he sits in a chair in the corner of the gym.)
*Aitome takes the hand and gets up, dusting himself off
I suppose that could help, actually learning how to swing a sword would help! Honestly, all my close quarters skill comes from Korumi and my magic comes from Tormention, I simply think of interesting ways to apply it and we've got a solidish team in my head!
*Aitome then shrugs at Onii chan, sighing a bit
Not sure how to feel about that! Also whos this Aliveground? Never heard of em before, im still kinda wrapping my head around the fact that your Mr.Carnival's persona
*N's wonder and amazement seems to vanish as he addresses Homura.*
Ah, you speak to me? I'm afraid I myself am very new to combat, only having to defend myself on rare occassions. I did manage to pick up some skill with a Bow and Arrow, however.
*He take a bow off his back, admiring it for a moment before returning focus to Homura.*
If you still find me worthy, I cannot decline your offer.
(Eizen opens his eyes and looks around.)
Seems things are getting noisy again. At least there are fewer people than before.
(She nods cheerfully as a light flashes around the room and her uniform is replaced by a black dress with a white coat over it, along with a mechanical shield bearing an hourglass in the center on her right wrist)
Yup I can do that! So um I'm guessing you're not immune to bullets and can't regenerate most of your body or anything?
(A shotgun flashes into her hands from the shield)
I'm only going to use rubber ammo so um don't worry it shouldn't hurt you too badly... Oh and I can heal you so it'll be fine!
(She smiles at him and steps back to the other side of the arena)
Oh before we begin do you have a name? It's a bit odd just calling you... You.
Aincrad grins. "Just think batshit insanity times ten, and let's see first what do you prefer in a weapon? What type of damage, range and any accessories do you think is needed?" He shrugs and hands his weapon, the Urumi, over. "My own personal baby this, and it's useful for more than just fighting. Find one that fits at home for you, or I can try making one for you. Well designing, we can get Star or Em to forge it."
I see, you use false ammunition in order to reduce bodily damage, therefore allowing for more focus on the combat itself rather than simply staying alive...
*He think for a moment.*
I accept your challenge, milady. You may call me N.
Ah, should I also replace my arrows with a less lethal equivalent? It only seems natural.
(She thinks for a moment before shaking her head)
No. I'm not really even close to normal... Things like that can't hurt a Magical Girl much, not even a weak one like me...
(She watches him closely and pushes her glasses up)
I'll let you take the first move then... Let's see how this goes!
I think my arsenal works out for now, I usually use my short sword, Korumi prefers to dual wield but she's Korumi, I can create swords out of ice and fire as well, I suppose the one thing I need is a gun, I don't have much ranged options except for magic.
Very well... I trust your judgement. Let our truths be tested!
*N simply stands for a moment, eyeing down his opponent, before quickly nocking an arrow and releasing it straight and true towards slightly above her left ear, aiming to harm her glasses.*
"Eh alrighty just let me know if you need any help then. Imma go lie down." He sighs and tosses himself on the floor. "It's surprisingly comfy,"
Th-the floor? Wh-what? Um... Well...
*Aitome simply blanks out, utterly confused before shaking his head
Well you do you Mr.Carnival, I'll be heading out now! Looks like I'll need to head to a gun shop and buy a gun, I wonder what I should get,
*Aitome then walks out, stepping into the distance before disappearing
(The girl darts her head to the side in an inhuman blur scraping the arrow against her left ear causing a bit of blood to pour out)
Hmm not bad N-kun, but you're definitely human... I'm not much for fights but I can say I've fought much worse!
(She darts towards him in a rush of speed before taking a shot towards the man's chest after getting to about 30 feet from him)
I'm very sorry if this hurts N-kun! (Homura glances towards him in concern still holding her gun up)
*N quickly right rolls to dodge, however is still scraped by the rubber ammunition.*
Indeed, I am but human. Yet I have lived knowing more pain than such a device can bring to me. You, however, are so much more than myself, I feel. However, I shall not back down!
*Nocking another arrow, N releases it head on with Homura's forehead, before quickly nocking and releasing a second one to her left, attempting to catch her in her dodge.*
(The girl sighs as the hourglass spins on her shield)
Geez I'll have to use this... I hope it's not too much magic.
(The arrows and everything else in the area bar Homura grind to a halt as she darts past them towards N time resuming before trying to smash her gun into his chest, the light of her gem dims a bit looking about 15% black or so)
I guess you didn't know about my magic then, well most people don't. Pretty impressive isn't it? Can't keep that up long though...
*N quickly tries to use his bow to block the attack, but misses his chance and ends up tumbling backwards, before catching his fall.*
T-teleportation? No, you wouldn't have been able to attack me like that if you'd simply moved from one place to another...
...
Perhaps I can't keep up now, but if I can understand your power, I may have a chance.
*N picks himself up, before picking 2 arrows out of his quiver. He nocks 1, before releasing it towards Horuma, not aiming anywhere in particular*
(The girl watches the arrow curiously before simply aiming her gun at N and sending another blast towards him)
I'm not sure if shooting Randomly is the best plan N-kun... But um it's very perceptive of you to notice, most people just believe it I tell them I teleport
*N smiles a little.*
I've been naturally gifted, what can I say? It's how I was created.
Now, perhaps I should stop testing the waters.
*N once again releases an arrow straight towards Homura, and grabs two from his quiver, simply nocking them, and aiming her down.*
OOC: Ack, forgot about the gun.
Eh, he can take it. He's dealt with worse.
(She raises her shield up as a purple energy forms in front of her blocking the arrow before she snaps her fingers and jumps backwards her shotgun replaced by a sniper rifle)
Yes I agree N-kun, I'll have to try and fight properly... Hmm what would Kyoko do?
(She points the rifle at his head with a pondering look on her face as she holds her breath and aims)
*Upon seeing Homura pause, N quickly releases his 2 arrows, one launched at Homura's trigger finger, while the other flies in a path which would simply graze the left side of her head if she didn't move.*
(Homura pulls down her finger and a round from her rifle zips towards the center of N's head before the arrow flies into her finger, the girl winces in a pain for a moment before the other cuts across her left cheek electing a gasp)
Ahh that hurts! (A switch seems to flick in her mind as she moves her right arm up pulling the arrow from finger and tossing it back at N with stunning strength and speed)
Of course it only hurts if I allow it to, which would be a silly thing to do right N-kun?
(Her wounds begin closing up as the blood flow stops and her gem is about 30% dark) Geez regeneration isn't my thing...
*The rubber round hits N straight in the forehead, causing him to fall backwards, avoiding the arrow completely. He soon stands up, leaving his weapon on the ground.*
My apologies, I should've used the false arrows from the start. Despite your power, I simply cannot do with harming you in such a manner. Either way, I believe you've won. In a normal scenario, that bullet would've easily killed me. Congratulations.
*N extends his hand in friendship, offering a handshake.*
(She smiles at him and shakes his hand)
Heh I guess it would of... I'm used to Witches and Magical Girls, people like me?
(She shakes her head)
No that shot wouldn't kill us.... I'd offer to prove it but well just because I can Doesn't mean I should ya know?
(She smiles sheepishly and looks him over)
But geez N-kun you're really very new to fighting huh? I mean I haven't seen it all or anything, but it's almost like you picked that up a week ago or something.
(She laughs as her clothes shift back to normal and her gun and shield both vanish)
But that's just silly right? I mean who'd just go out and fight so quickly?
*N chuckles a little.*
Well, where I'm from, there's unfortunately very little need for one such as myself to learn any form of combat training. Once I arrived here, it seemed to be something I needed to do, as I wish to not endanger my friends further with trivial matters...
*N walks over to his bow, placing it onto his back.*
I've only been practicing for a week or two now, actually. I happened upon these by chance, and set myself up a small practice range similarly to one I remember seeing at home.
I do hope I'm improving in my skills. I simply wish to keep them out of danger...
*N holds a small red and white ball, his hand shaking a little.*
(She looks at the balls curiously and tilts her head in confusion)
Um what do those have to do with friends N-kun? Though I definitely understand wanting to learn how to fight to protect those you care about... There's someone I don't ever want fighting too actually.
(Homura sighs and frowns a bit)
Of course that person... She'd never let me go it alone anyways so I guess I'm stuck just trying to keep her safe.
(The girl snaps her fingers and smirks at N)
Oh and before I forget, I'll tell you how my power works, it's not teleporting but actually the skill to stop time! That's why I could just vanish and suddenly be attacking.
*N puts the ball back onto his belt.*
Ah, so it was time control after all. I actually had a suspicion that it was.
And... some of my friends happen to be contained w-within these balls. Save for one.
*N looks to the sky, and sitting atop the battleground's outer wall is a large white creature with large wings. It had been watching over their match the whole time.*
Reshiram is a good friend of mine. We have a goal together, and that is to free all Pokemon from captivity. My truth...
(She looks over at the great beast in awe before turning back to N with a smile)
Huh so that's what you want? Mine... Haha it's not very lofty like yours N-kun, but I guess my truth is that I'm going to protect Madoka Kaname and all my other friends if they show up.
(She happily waves at Reshiram)
One of these days you guys will reach that goal I'm sure! Just like I'll reach mine too. (She smiles to herself determinedly)
*N smiles, before waving to Reshiram himself, before the legendary Pokemon begins to descent to the ground, looking N in the eye. N laughs a little once more.*
Reshiram said he hopes you reach your goal as well.
I suppose I might need to leave now. It's getting a bit late, after all.
I'd certainly wish to speak with you more. While I do enjoy a conversation with my friends, it's good to speak with my own species every once in a while.
*N hops onto Reshiram's back, before waving to Homura.*
Take care, friend.
*The tail of the Pokemon begins to glow red with flames, before it takes off into the distance.*
(Eizen gets up and nods.)
An interesting clash of wills. It seems you all have a clear goal in mind. It's good to follow goals but it's also important not to be too attached to those goals. Restricting yourself to one kind of thinking is never good.
(The girl walks out the doors with a smile on her face and a spring in her step) Hmm where to next then? I've got no clue really but I'm sure I can think of something!
(Her clothing bursts into magic once more before Homura begins leaping onto a rooftop and dashing across the city)
*Geralt enters the gym*
This place is still alive?
* walks up to the place* Is this a.. dojo? I wonder if anyone's here? Maybe I could learn a new trick or something!
*Magilou strolls by, arms behind her head. Soon she catches sight of Bartz and walks up behind him*
Oh deary me, whatever brings you to the far outreaches of our fair town you poor, lost vagabond. If I didn't know better I'd say you had some nefarious intent.
Nefarious? me?! Oh please now! I'm just a wanderer wandering about! Nothing nefarious about me! But tell me, do you know what this places is? It looks like a dojo, but it seems pretty empty right now.
Why this little ol' place?
*Magilou runs up between Bartz and the gym before gesturing towards the building with a large wave*
This is the GYM, where warriors of all caliber participate in fierce practice matches.
*Magilou hugs herself and pretends to shake*
The thrills, the chills, ph I can hardly stand it.
*Sam comes out of a backroom, dusting off his hands*
That's the self repair system finished up. You can break this place up like everyone else.
the Gym huh.... Sounds fun! * he materializes his brave blade in his hands* I'd love to give it a try! Oh but... there's only the two of us here.
*Magilou looks around before stepping away from Bartz and Sam*
Oh you two go on ahead.
*Magilou pretends to swoon*
A delicate little flower like me has no place on a battlefield.
*Magilou straightens up and turns to the side*
I'm sure you two big, strong men are more than willing to let off some steam in such a horrible, brutish manner.
Well, I don't mind honestly. I just feel like putting my skills to the test!
Seems I've gotten myself into something. What a pain.
Hey, you don't have to if you don't want to!
*Magilou claps before trying to drag the two into the indoor ring, then rapidly stepping to the side*
Very well then, I, the Great Sorceress Magilou will judge this terrible battle.
*Magilou stands up straight, hands on her hips*
And you two wonderful little warriors can fight for my amusement.
Ready? GO!!!
No, it's fine. Need to test some of my new toys anyway.
*Sam leans against his cane, smirking*
No holding back now. No running away either.
Heh, a worthy opponent! Let's do this then! * he Switches to his knight job, donning crimson armor and a large kite shaped shield in addition to his brave blade* C'mon! Show me what you've got!
A class changer, eh? You're data will be useful in my research.
*Sam snaps his fingers, causing lightning bolts to fly in Bartz' direction*
* blocking with his shield, Bartz is unable to react in time to the lightning bolts* Guwaaah !
* having fallen from sudden muscle failure, he stands back up* Hey! You could've told me you were a mage! Ugh. Change of plans ! * he changes jobs again, this time wearing a turban with a gem and some pale armor. His shield is gone but the Brave blade remains* And now for some magic of my own!
*readying his sword, he begins chanting an incantation*
*Sam's cane glows slightly. Sam's form flickers slightly while smirking.*
Barrier module: Flare
*Sam is cloaked in a crimson shield for second. The shield then fades. Resistances changed*
*Enters* It's been a while.
I don't know what you just did, but this'll put an end to your magic shenanigans! * the blade, now coated in a white, dull glow, is pointed at Sam as Bartz runs towards him*
This blade has been infused with mute magic! it's the bane of every sorcerer out there! You won't be casting anything once this hits you! * he runs up to Sam and delivers a well aimed blow* Heyyah!
Heh.
*Sam vanishes, leaving only the cane. A blue cage of electricity appears around the area from the cane. Sam come out of the back room.*
I am surprised about how many people fall for such a simple trap. The walls are made of electric. I'm gonna enjoy this.
*The walls start closing in on Bartz.*
Heh, you think I'm caught, but this job is specifically made to deal with mages! * As the electricity of the cage sizzles, a green, mirror-like shell covers Bartz's skin* You didn't think I'd be dumb enough to simply rush at you without a plan did you? * he slices the cage open and goes back on the offensive* let's give this another try!
*The cane flashes. The cage repairs itself.*
And you think I wouldn't have counter measures? I'm more prepared than you give me credit for. Admittedly, the reverse is also true.
Ugh, this is getting annoying. But no matter, i have another trick up my sleeve. * in a flash of light, his clothes change into what looks like blue pajamas made for cold weather. His brave blade turns into the Gaia Bell. His insulated clothes allow him to come in contact with electricity without any problems* heheh! I bet you never saw it coming! * he rings his bell, agitating the electricity into the cage and making it his own. With a smug grin on his face, he sends Sam's own electricity back at him !* How about a taste of your own medicine, eh?
*Sam absorbs electricity*
A nice try, but no dice.
*With a snap of his fingers, his cane boosts out of the ground, back into Sam's hands. He leans on it.*
Come on then. No tricks this time.
Yeah right! What fool trusts his opponent's words mid-battle? I'll come at you with this job's specialty! * He rings the bell, louder this time and crosses his fingers behind his back. Whispering, he says* c'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Don't fail me gaia bell !
( one dice roll later) * suddenly, sharp and pointy rock pillars surge from underneath Sam* Yes! Hahah! how'll you fare against an earth quake! * the whole arena shakes as more and more of these pillars appear, attempting to skewer the mage*
Haven't gotten around to implementing earth into my barrier module. This could be bad.
*Sam is knocked around by the earthquake, losing his footing and falling to the floor before being knocked into the air by one of the rocky pillars.*
This is my chance! I'll finish this! * suddenly, three stars appear above his head* the wind... IS WITH ME !!! * brave blade in his left hand, Excalibur in his right hand, he infuses the left weapon with flare magic and the right weapon with holy magic* The four essences.... * he chains up a barrage of four powerful slashes with both his weapons, slashing through sam with everythng he has* FOR A SHINING WORLD !!! * on the last slash, the magic now contained in sam explodes for a firework like finale ! *
*Sam hits the ground hard.*
You...suck
*Sam has been defeated. Battle over.*
*Magilou begins rapidly clapping from the sidelines*
Bravo, bravo. You two looked like such lovely little brutes.
*Magilou holds both of her hands over her heart*
I can rest easy knowing there are soooo many fierce protectors out there.
Don't worry! Everybody has a bad day! * he extends his hand to help sam stand back up* You sure gave me a run for my gil though! If it weren't for that lucky earth quake I got, we'd probably still be fighting!
Well, at least I know my trap cane works.
*Sam raise himself to his feet.*
And I got some nice data. Next time, I won't go so easy on you.
Interesting... *Writes down in his notebook*
Sure * he gives you a bright smile* I had fun too!
And Magilou, I'm glad you enjoyed the show!
*Sam's drone heals him to max health*
Thanks, Marietta. So, are you and Rom gonna fight now, kid?
Wait, I was just passing by.
*Magilou looks at Sam in shock*
Oh dearest, do you mean me? Why, I'd never do anything so Brutish as fighting. Why, the mere thought of it.
*Magilou seems to faint*
I meant Bartz, witch girl.
*Magilou immediately bounds back up and dusts herself off*
Oh my, how cruel of you. What kind of cruel, heartless person would let me believe such a terrible, terrible thing.
*Magilou turns to the side and plays with her hair*
If I didn't know better I'd say you did it on purpose.
Are you blaming me for your misunderstanding? How could such an idiot be able to use magic?
Nah I'm good. * the three stars vanish, as does his cape* Using my mime job is pretty tiring. It's kinda my ace in the hole you know!
*Magilou holds one hand to her heart and the other outstretched dramatically towards Sam*
Oh dearest, first this brute tries to lead on a poor, innocent little maiden like me, then he has the nerve to insult them.
*Magilou pretends to swoon while grinning*
However can he make up for such terrible, terrible things.
Wow, if I didn't know any better, I'd say your job is " actress"!
I don't care for you, witch girl. I hate drama queens like you.
*Sam leans against his cane*
*Magilou's eyes light up as she spins around before gesturing dramatically towards herself*
Well well, what can I say? I'm a natural for performance. Perhaps you should come to one of my shows
*Magilou stretches out her arms as though presenting something*
The great Sorceress Magilou's Menagerie, the greatest sight in the world. A wonderful set of tricks sure to delight all who see it.
Well that does sound fun! Where is it, and when should I come?
I am not delighted. More bored than anything else.
*Magilou bows to Bartz before looking up*
Why, as a traveling performer the show can happen anywhere there's enough of a crowd. I'm sure a wonderful explorer like you can find me. It'll be a joy for all.
*Magilou crosses her arms and plays with her hair as she gives Sam a sideways glance*
Though there's no accounting for people without tastes.
I care for skill, witch girl. Flashy tricks means nothing to me.
Now now, let's not infight like this! * he switches to his bard outfit, holding a harp in his hands* Tricks can be just as useful you know!
*Magilou raises her hands as though in surrender*
Oh is fighting all you horrid brutes ever think about?
Even if I wanted to fall for such obvious bait, there's one teensy tiny problem. Care to guess what it is?
*Magilou leans forward, cupping her ear as though listening for something*
No one? None at all?
*Magilou stands back up and shrugs*
Without that good-for-nothing traitor around I'm stuck doing parlor tricks.
Traitor? who're you talking about?
Heh. Figured out I was taunting you into a battle, did you? Not bad. As for Velevet Crow, I'm sure she'll turn up sometime. People always seem to.
*Magilou turns to the side and begins playing with her hair*
I couldn't care less about little-miss-therion.
It's that no good traitorous brat who turned me in to the exorcists I'm after.
Another traitor? Heh. How interesting. Who would that be, pray tell?
I am sooooo lost right now.
*Magilou grins and casts the pair a sideways glance*
It's nothing for you to worry your little heads about. Though if I didn't know better I'd almost say you know him blondie.
*Magilou shrugs and makes for the door*
Not that it matters, my long, arduous journey continues on.
What a wierdo. I'll be off then. Ciao
*Sam leaves.*
*PK crashes into the GYM, riding on two swords as he zips in, crashing into the wall, getting a bump on his head before getting up, the swords transforming into twin Jack Frosts, one with a P and on with an S on their foreheads
Ow! Looks like I need more training! Come on Pancake and Syrup! Lets go get some protein!
*suddenly appears* ahh...time to watch people fight...
*The trap investigates where the sound came from and sees a broken wall. He decided to investigate it because...that's the least reasonable thing to do. He sees a man who looks like Akechi so he decided to hide behind a wall and go into his metaverse look, and proceeded to walk inside. He gripped his parasol tightly as he got closer.*
"So ummm...are you Akechi? You look similar to him after all..." he said a little nervously, in his very feminine voice (due to a thing called vocal dissonance) and french accent.
Ooc: Shit wrong account.
Ooc: Just ignore my failures.
Oh hello there! In fact! My name is not Akechi! I am Pancake_Knight! At your service!
*PK then bows at the new person, smiling as he cracks open a cold protein shake, downing the entire thing as if it was nothing and making another while talking
So! Are you here for training! Ill spar you!
"Oh, well then I worried for nothing then, Je ne peux pas croire que je le fais..." he said, the french part he mumbled to himself.
"Well, if you're here to spar, I can oblige. I do have some free time to spare. My name is Malloryn, by the way." he said to @Pancake_Knight, doing a curtsie with his dress.
Well alright Lady Malloryn! I won't be holding back! If I do I won't get any experience! You may have the first go!
*PK then jumps into the boxing ring, drawing a laser sword, with Pancake on one side and Syrup on his other, grinning as he awaits the attack
"Oh ummm. Well, I'm glad you're excited. I guess." she said, walking to the ring.
*After that she places some traps around the vicinity of Pancake_Knight (Because she doesn't need to move around to do that.), and proceeds to summon her persona.*
"Viens, Moréchal!" she shouted, summoning what appeared to be a heavily armored knight equipped with two greatshields.
"Now, God's Hand." she said not that enthusiastically as Moréchal proceeded to try and strike Pancake_Knight with his shield. Though the attack was easily dodgeable, that's what she wanted.
*PK being the idiot that he is barely notices the strike, barely dodging it by a miracle, tripping on his own feet allowing him to barely move out of the way,before picking himself up
Woah! Close one! Let's not let that happen again! Waffles Fusion is a go!
*PK then opens a rift behind him, P+S being pulled inside, blue lightning cracks from the Rift as a giant knight clad in golden armor and a spear walks out, standing next to PK
Here we go! Tetrakarn Waffles!
*Waffles then slams the spear into the ground, covering PK in a pale barrier as he awaits the next strike
"This is not the outcome I was hoping for..." he said in dissapointment as he stares at PK. "Eh bien, je vais simplement le faire?" he mumbled in french to himself.
"Moréchal, use God's Hand again." he said loosely, as the knight began to run at him with his shields together to ram PK. When the shields get reflected, she then uses the bear trap to clamp him and uses Limbo's Peak.
Ooc: Limbo's Peak: Heavy Ice Damage. Always hits.
*PK gets hit with the bear trap and yelps in pain from the ice,
Whew! Alright! Looks like im gonna have to avoid these traps! Waffles! Hit me with a head riser!
*Waffles then concentrates again as PK is surrounded in a cascade of colors, increasing his speed strength and defense, as he then jumps ontop of Morechal, drawing a crossbow out from his back as he fires a shot at Lady Malloryn
*She then grunts as she catches the single arrow and throws it back at PK, to make him get fall off of Moréchal and proceeds to trigger a swinging axe, hammer, and an anchor infront of her side of the field. All while planning more traps.*
"I guess this is a time for my own buffs then. Ok Moréchal, use Heat Riser." she commanded as he buffed their stats.
Woah! She's fast!
*PK then falls off and gets struck by the hammer, being dazed from the strike he doesn't dodge the axe, however he narrowly dodges the anchor
Okay! Change of plan! Let's get nice and personal! Breakfast Blades fusion!
*PK then opens another rift, sucking in Waffles as lightning cracks and whips the air, then 2 swords seem to fly out, PK then jumps on top of them as they fly towards Lady Malloryn, PK slashing when he gets close with his laser blade
*As Malloryn stood there, Moréchal shielded him from the Breakfest Blades to reduce the damage. After that, she decided to slash back at Pancake Knight with her parasol, poisoning him before proceeding to use Painful Ascension.*
Ooc: Painful Ascension: Severe Wind Damage, high critical hit rate.
*PK gets thrown back at parasol strike, the Breakfast swords helping him to avoid the wind strikes by catapulting him towards the air,
Woah! Your pretty tough! I ain't done yet though! Jack Bros glove fusion!
*PK then opens a rift while in the air, the swords flying into it as it crackles with light, glowing as a pair of gloves fly to PK, he then rips off his regular clothing, revealing a Gi and Black Belt, putting on the gloves as he lands next to Lady Mayllorn, giving her 2 quick jabs, an uppercut, and finishing off his strikes with a right hook
As a friend would say! I've been waiting for this!
*She gets caught off guard by the outfit change and the new style, but then blocks the right hook and sweeps him off his feet. After that he leaps forward, and backflips and slashed at him mid jump. As he lands, he repetitively shoots at him, bullets coming from his parasol that adds to the poison, still placing her traps.*
"Why did you decide to change your style to close quarter combat again?" he said as Moréchal decides to use Debilitate on Pancake Knight.
Ooc: Am I doing good so far?
*PK gets sweeped up and falls to the ground, getting slashed up before shot to pieces, he barely stands up, the poison sapping away most of his energy before smiling
Okay, im almost out of energy! Time for the finisher!
*PK then runs towards her, Waffles fusing behind him, casting Thunder Reign on himself when he's close, shocking both people with severe lightning, luckily for PK the energy goes into his laser blade as he begins to slash multiple times with his laser greatsword with one hand, meanwhile Waffles fuses into Breakfast Swords as they strike her back, after a few seconds PK then grips the swords, fusing them into gloves for a final rising uppercut, falling to the ground exhausted
Whew! That's it for me!
*She gets up from the finisher PK used on her with about 25% of her hp left, with an angry look.* "And here I thought you were pass out from the poison. Really should've expected more." she said before she yawned. "I'm tuckered out. Nice fight whatever your name was." she then changed back to her normal look and walked back home. Albeit, slowly because she was limping.
Whew! Looks like I'll have to get stronger!
*PK then casts salvation on himself, healing him of all wounds before walking over with P+S, all 3 of them eating a meal of pancakes and syrup unsurprisingly
*Em once again walks into GYM, looking for a fight. Taking a seat in a chair, he begins to nod off after a while.*
*Alice finds her way inside as well. With how often she shows up here it might as well just be considered her usual hang-out spot. Perhaps a tad morbid considering everyone comes here to hit each other... She lays eyes on Em.*
It's rather quiet tonight, don't you think Em?
*Awakened by Alice, Em suddenly jolts up from his chair.*
Ah, Gods! Don't scare me like that, Ali...
And yeah, it is pretty quiet here, isn't it. This place has been packed as of late.
So, are you here to train for that tournament? I saw that you entered.
How observant of you, that's exactly why I'm here. I don't often mind losing a battle, so long my life isn't on the line, but this tournament isn't a battle I can lose. I can't speak for the others but those wishes are invaluable to me and would provide an immense amount of relief, so I'll just leave it at that. Anyways, shall I look elsewhere for a fight so that you may go back to your nap?
Ha ha, very funny. You know I only come here when I'm looking for a fight.
So, you want a rematch? I'm game if you are.
*Em begins to create balls of light around himself, smiling.*
*Alice takes interest in the balls surrounding Em.*
I am actually. Say, what are those things are you? is that what you'd call "magic manipulation?"
ooc: things around you* fucking kms
Yeah, these are balls of pure Bless magic. I can compress the light and...
*Holding a ball in his hand, it takes the shape of a shortsword. It faintly glows with a white light.*
Ta-da, instant sword. Although they're somewhat easy to break, and unless you're really proficient with it you tend to lose that energy you made it with when it happens.
*Throwing the sword into the wall it shatters, and most of the shards return to Em, fading into the other balls of light. The rest simply disappear.*
