How incredibly useful! Would you mind teaching me about this before we start? Perhaps I can give it a whirl while we fight and not get my face rolled for once. *She'd approach Em. Whether he accepts her request or not she'd rather not yell across the room at him.*
Sure, why not. Well, it's a bit odd to explain. Basically, you need to draw on your Persona's power without summoning it. It takes a lot of energy at first, but over time you get used to doing it. I think the proper procedure is to try and use the feeling you have when using magic with your Persona to draw it out. *Em focuses, creating a small ball of light in his hand, which quickly grows to larger than his head.* Is that good enough? Once Kalib returns, he'll probably be able to go over it for you better than I can.
I see. So then it'd be kind of... like this? *With that said Alice holds out her hand. She tries to replicate Em in creating the ball of light but all she's able to do at first is create a tiny flash. Taking another crack at it she'd be able to conjure a small, dim light that looks more like a bouncy ball than anything else. She's already proven that her persona is more in-tune with magic as it typically spams Kougaon so it's possible that she'll get the hang of it at some point.* Hmph, I guess it'll just take more time and even more practice. Shall we get this duel started then?
Yeah, let's get rolling. And don't worry, your body just needs to get in tune with the magic, that's all. *Heading out onto the battlefield, Em readies one of his two Long Sword in his right hand, prepared for combat.* Ladies first, right?
*Alice follows Em out onto the field. She'd take her spot at the opposite end before Seraph is called unto her location. Em's polite gesture causes Alice to grin.* You know, if you treat every lady like that you might just open the door for one of them to stab you in the back. But alas, don't mind if I do! *Seraph hands Alice her spear before she gets onto the angelic persona's shoulder and crosses her legs. Seraph, with Alice atop her, ascends into the air above Emerson before finally acting.* Dazzle him Seraph, Flash of Light! *The persona lets loose a quick, blinding flash in an attempt to disorient or temporarily blind Emerson.*
*Quickly covering his eyes, Em manages to avoid looking at the flash of light.* Heh, knew you'd lead with that! Alright, how about we get started! Saul, Masukukaja! *Slashing at a card that appears in front of himself, Saul quickly forms around Em, before both of them are covered in a green light.*
*She can't help but shake her head and mutter something to herself.* So much good that attack boost will do if you can't even reach me... *Seraph flies back to the side of the arena that Alice had started on before receiving its next command. Alice whispers the order to the persona, Seraph raising it's arm up so Alice can pick a small object of light out from within its hand. After looking it over a few times, Alice throws it at Emerson, the ball of light taking the shape of a lance as it flew straight for him. It would seem Alice had commanded Seraph to perform this magic manipulation.*
*Holding his left hand out, Em creates a shield of Hard Light, causing the Lance to shatter upon impact, along with the shield itself.* Not bad, but a projectile that large won't be able to get anywhere with me! *Using the energy from the broken Lance and Shield, Em creates 6 daggers made of Hard Light, before flinging them all at Ali.*
*Aware that the odds aren't quite in her favor with this attack, Alice lets Seraph dodge as she pleases. The persona would twirl around as to avoid about 4 of the daggers but two hit their mark, one in Alice's leg and the other on the angelic persona's wing. One of its six wings now injured, this tampers with its ability to fly, making its movements more sporadic.* Damn him! Just shake it off and hit him with Kougaon Seraph! *After fluttering around for another short while, Seraph unleashes the specified blast of light and then moves a little closer to Em. It's still airborne.*
*The light hits Em, yet it simply disappears upon contact. Em chuckles a little.* I think you forgot I'm pretty immune to Light magic! Oh well, no time to cry over it! Saul! Sukunda! *The Persona forms once more, letting out a wave of green energy towards Alice, slowing down her and her Persona's movement.*
*Alice is now put at even more of a disadvantage, the speed debuff piled on top of Seraph's injured wing. Luckily she had a risky plan in mind that is ready to be executed. With her spear in hand and herself and Seraph now being nearly on top of Em, she puts it in motion.* This should be interesting. Seraph, Megidolaon... Now!! *Just before Seraph unleashed the blast, Alice leaps from the persona's shoulder with her uninjured leg and points the spear down on Em. No matter how slow she was, gravity would speed her up as she intended to dive down on him like a dragoon and have the Megidolaon follow up in a combo that'd most likely injure herself along with Em if she can even get a hit on him.*
*Saul still around Em, it takes the Megidolaon blast, fading away as Em throws down his long sword and uses the quick unsheathing of his Greatsword to parry Ali's lance.* Clever, but that just put you in a worse position now. Now feel your mistake! *Em slashes his greatsword across Alice's chest region, before following up with a downward vertical strike.*
*Unfortunately Em gets the idea as Alice is left with few options. Although she was able to spare Seraph from having to bear her weight for a short while, she relies on the angel to get her out of this situation. Having nothing to block the slash, she takes it but is spared from the vertical strike as Seraph swoops in and whisks her to the opposite side of the arena having sustained minor damage from her own Megidolaon on top of the slash.* Urngh... M-maybe that wasn't my best idea... *She'd put her hands together in a praying manner. She speaks quietly, her lip movements visible to Em but her words perhaps not as much. As she prays a warm glow envelopes her as the open wound across her chest is sealed but her vitality is left untouched. While she prayed Seraph would seemingly be answering these prayers, providing the glow and the healing effect.*
*Security cameras catch the battle in all its glory and transmit them to the main security computer.*
*Wanders on in and takes a seat...*
*A dog in an orange hooded jacket cheerfully pads in* Arf!
Huh? Um.... Koromaru....?
Arf! Arf arf! *Koromaru bows playfully*
What are you doing here? This is a gym. .... Did you come to use the treadmill?
Awoo! *Koromaru runs in a circle, then becomes distracted by ome of the punching bags* Woof?
*A robed figure sits in the corner.* We all strive for self improvement, he's no diffrent...
A punching bag? *heh heh* You wanna try punching one?
Arf arf! *Koromaru rams into the punching bag at full force, then falls back from the impact, tail still wagging.*
*Laughs a bit at that* You're getting there, Koromaru.
Arf! *He wags his tail at Black Mask and Robed Person, then wanders out onto the arena. He runs around the open area, clearly full of energy.*
*Aitome hears a commotion and wanders inside, waving at everyone Hello! I thought I heard something going down here!
Arf! *At the sight of New Guy, Koromaru bows playfully from his spot in the battle area*
*The robed figure sighs and looks over to the dog with oddly glowing eyes.* Sorry, dog. Not in the mood for a fight right now, maybe later. I just want to sit here for a moment and recharge my batteries.
Hey Ai. I think Koromaru might want to... fight?
Sam
*Sam enters.* Are you guys going to be fighting? Guess I should check the self repair device then.
Awoo! *Koromaru seems to agree with Black Mask's guess*
Well then.... anyone want to fight a dog....? *Seemed very unsure about that idea*
Oh, hey there Shrine Dog, how are you doing? You wanna fight? I'm sure Black Mask could help you out there, you aren't afraid of a dog are you Black Mask? *Aitome waves to the newcomer as he takes a seat Hey there, I think this place is for training if I recall correctly, but we usually just end up blowing it up....
Sam
That's why I'm checking the self repair device for this place. Still, if your fighting, go all out. It'll give me some good data.
What? I am NOT afraid of a dog. *quieter* I'm just afraid of hitting a dog.
Self repair? Huh, that's definitely new I've never heard of such a thing existing, then again that would explain how it fixes itself.
Woof woof! *Koromaru looks up at Black Mask and wags his tail. He seems to not mind the idea of being hit. It's just a game! Like fighting Shadows, but... sparring! That's the word!*
Aw comeon Black Mask it'll be fine! If anything you'll be doing it a favour, you gotta work on that leg dont you? Besides, we can always heal wounds with a bit of magic.
Hmm.... I guess so. *sighs and heads for the ring*
*Koromaru wags his tail and follows her.*
Sam
*Sam looks at some schematics on one of his holographic screens* Hmm. Looks fine. That's good. It means I can focus on data gathering.
Thats the spirit! Don't hold back you two! I'm sure this will be a great match! *Aitome then gives the both of them a thumbs up as his eyes go red, watching the rung closely
Well okay, Koromaru... you ready?
Arf arf arf! *Koromaru gets into a fighting stance after shaking his head to adjust his odd collar*
Well alright, then! Let's see what you've got! Okuninushi! *She doesn't want to go too aggressive, so to start out she just uses Okuninushi to put an attack drop onto koromaru*
*Koromaru growls a little at the debuff.* Aroooo! *His collar flashes with the sound of breaking glass, and a three-headed canine, Cerberus, appears behind him in a burst of blue flames. It snarls and sends an Agidyne at Black Mask.*
*The robe figure begins observing the match while holding a metal sphere in their hand. The sphere seems to change shape and warp as they move their fingers.*
*Oh no, bad way to start off for Mig who eats a Agidyne in the face and is shoved backward from the weakness hit.* Okay, so you're not playing around then.... *a quick Persona switch and suddenly a PSYCHIC LASERRRRRRR slices across the battlefield as Mig gets back onto her feet.*
*The LASERRRRR knocks Koromaru back, but he manages to land on his paws.* Grr... Awoo! *He charges forward, calling upon Cerberus to send out more flames*
*More fire, but with Fortuna Mig doesn't have a weakness there so she takes the hit far better.* Alright, now it's go time. *Rushes at Koromaru, rapier appearing, as she then delivers a downward slash at the Doggo!*
*Koromaru jumps back, but is still hit. He yelps and backs up, summoning Cerberus. The Persona's sharp teeth show as it glares with all three heads, using Evil Smile.*
A little girl with a coffin strapped to her back takes a seat on the side, looking around idly, brow furrowing as she settles her gaze on the fight. She rests her coffin across her lap and hugs it loosely, examining the two combatants intently, judging their techniques in silence...
*Is suddenly stricken with fear upon seeing the evil smile, fear which she tries to fight through...* C-come on, Mig.... you can do this.... *No such luck this turn*
*He approaches the girl* Hello there young lady! Are you enjoying the show?
*slides in silently in her shadow, and then takes her usual shape, taking a seat and watching the fight, making sure that Migs leg doesn't get reinjured.*
*Koromaru pulls out a knife from somewhere in his jacket and leaps up at Black Mask. Who let a dog have a knife, anyway?*
She eyes the strange man wearily, holding her coffin closer, eyes narrowing in distrust.
*Seeing the blade come for her makes her more afraid, until something clicksand the fear overflows away! She putting up her rapier to try and catch the knife mid-ascent!*
Hey now! Don't worry, I won't hurt you! * he gives her a cheerful smile* Is that coffin important to you?
*Since Koro only has doggy energy behind the strike, the knife is easily parried. He backflips away and growls, summoning Cerberus to swallow the area in flames with Maragidyne*
Sam
I don't think the kid like you very much, Bartz
I don't know what i did to her but I hope she'll change her mind!
Heh, I'm glad you have fire at least. That's easier to deal with than ice. *She grins despite taking the hit from the fire, and looking rather beat up already, perhaps that was because out of the fire suddenly emerged another eyeball laser beam right for the Doggo!* Though fire does take a way a lot of my favorite tricks.
*The laser hits Koromaru, sending him flying again. He hits the ground.* Grr... *Cerberus appears again, sending out another Maragidyne around itself. The flames obscure Koromaru as well as head for Migrant*
Hmm.... we're gonna need a better plan than just taking these hits. Time to go risky I guess. *She plants her feet and extends her arms, palms down. With a lift of her arms, a platform of psychic energy begins to rise, hopefully putting her above the flames and in position for a counterattack.*
*Koromaru bursts out of the flames, completely unharmed despite running through fire, and prepares to strike at... nothing?* Woof? *He looks around for Black Mask, then finally notices the platform right above him.*
Alright, time for a counterattack. *leaps from the platform, swinging her blade around and hold holds steady for impact with Koromaru!*
*Koromaru leaps aside, but not quickly enough. The blade strikes him, but this time, he counterattacks with a pouncing knife slash. Not as strong as a human's attack, but the speed makes up for that*
*Does not anticipate the counter and both get hit by melee attacks.* You're good, for a dog anyway. *She then uses her higher strength to shove Koromaru back* Now then, let's finish this, huh? Okuninushi! *It's a big risk putting your weak-to-fire Persona back out there, but Mig does it. Kicking a whirlwind up around Koromaru and charging in for a flurry of melee hits, capped off with a wind-aided ascent and downward slash!*
*Koromaru is battered around by the hits, and the downwards slash seems like it'll be the winning blow...* *...if High Counter hadn't activated, reflecting that downwards slash back at Mig. He struggles to his paws.* AROOOO! *Cerberus appears with a snarl, firing a fiery Agidyne blast*
Well she sure as hell isn't responding anymore...
*The reflected finisher! Oh no, and an agidyne!? This isn't looking good for Mig as she staggers back to her feet....* Man... it's almost like you were designed to beat me.... But I'm not playing for a tie! *Backflips! Summoning Fortuna to send a laser at Koromaru, before dashing in for another slash attack!*
*Koromaru dodges the laser with ease, but his luck runs out when the slash manages to hit him. He falls to the ground and tries to get up, but eventually gives up with a disappointed huff.*
*Smiles a bit as she walks over by Koromaru* Okay, that's enough lying down. Okuninushi! *This time, no attack, instead a moderate heal for Koromaru* You're a tough one. Fire AND countering attacks?
*Koromaru shakes himself off and stands up, licking Mig's face. Once he calms down, he answers her question by summoning Cerberus once more, casting Mudoon on an empty spot on the floor. He pants from both happiness and exhaustion.*
*claps lightly* Well, that was an enjoyable fight.
Oh, and darkness.... man, you're a tough doggo. *gives him head pats and looks over at Shaigis* Oh, hey Shaigis. Why are you here...?
Eh, I never had a chance to visit this place before, so I decided to check it out. Thought that I might as well check to make sure it's stable while I'm at it. Then I saw you fighting, and wanted to make sure your leg was still holding up good.
Well, I think it held up pretty good. Though, um... you sure you wouldn't want to go someplace a bit less... fightey?
*Koromaru wags his tail at the pats, then notices Shaigis.* ...woof? Grr... *She smells weird...*
I appreciate your concern, but I can hold my own in a fight... Although I'm not really in a fighting mood right now. It feels weird not wanting to destroy things all the time.
Sam
Not a bad duel. Thanks for the data.
Yeah, tell me about it.... it's honestly weird for me too lately. Like suddenly feeling less bound to the Nexus than usual. Heck, last night I entertained the idea of moving off it. *shrugs, waving a hand around* But if you don't wanna go I'll just head for LeBlanc or something. *And there it was again, small, but by no means subtle, her hand waving something of a rip in reality.*
*Koromaru keeps glaring at Shaigis, but his confusion only increases. What are they talking about? Why is nobody noticing the strange energy?^
Ummm... Mig.. What... What did you just do?
*The robed figure adjusts their vision as they get up.* Some show, certainly was interesting to say the least. Well, I better head out for now, can't stay here all day after all. *The robed figure begins walking towards the exit. In the place they was sitting are two perfectly made metal sculptures of Migrant and Koromaru.*
Huh? Do? *the hole vanished pretty abruptly when Mig was asked what she did* Well I beat Koromaru here in a duel.
Not that... You... You just opened a hole in reality. And I felt it... *Shivers a little*
*Koromaru eventually leaves. Probably to get a snack after all that exercise.*
Psh, yeah right.... I don't have a nexite weapon at all.
*sighs* I know what I felt... But, I guess there's no use in arguing if you don't believe me.
Sam
*Sam smirks.* How intriguing. I need to look into this. *Sam wanders off somewhere*
*Neptune walks in* Oooooh, is this kinda of a gym, if that's a gym, a gym with fight looks so epic!
*The boy steps out of a dark portal casually shooting a beam of light at the door to unlock it then turning the sign to open* Alright then time to get some more training done before the tournament!
*she notices roxas, And goes to see him* oooh, look you do look cool there, so you are training to fight too?
OOC: Kinda planned to do a fight with someone from Discord, sorry about that.
ooc: oh, i see
*The trap walks in from the shot at door in her metaverse look and strokes her hair, while looking at the boy from the corner of his eye.* "Will you be participating in the tournament too? I heard they're gonna have me be in the first match. I really hope my partner can support me well." he said to the boy before mumbling more in french. "Je veux me tuer maintenant..." he said to himself before looking at Roxas and making eye contact, gripping her parasol tightly. "That aside, what's your name? My name is Malloryn." he said because he doesn't want to be called Morgaine by strangers.
Ooc: Why does this always happen to me?
OOC: Did someone asked for me? I just saw this now so sorry for the delay.
Ooc: Hai Ema, have fun watch me panick in Discord.
*He chuckles at Malloryn and nods* Yup name's Roxas and I'll be in that thing too! I'm teamed up with some demon named Laharl myself, anyways Malloryn?... I'm just gonna call ya Mal I think, so then if you're looking to spar let's get to it right!? *He cheerfully walks over to the sparing ring as his Keyblades Appear in his hands* Okay then ready set go and all that! *He smiles at her from the arena and drops into his fighting stance*
*He walks up to the arena and smiles at Roxas.* "I'm glad you're nice to me. It's always great to have mannerable opponents." he said as examines the arena and sets up his traps. "Now, let's just spar and make me forget all my anxiousness. Viens, Moréchal!" he exclaimed, summoning her persona; the great knight with the two big greatshields. *She starts by using Heat Riser while having Moréchal charge at him using God's Hand to bait him.*
oh well, gotta go. *she leaves the gym*
*A robed figure walks into the gym and sits down in a nearby bench. They can be seen holding a metal sphere that twists and warps as they watch the fight.*
*Roxas smirks and leaps around the Persona darting for it's summoner in a blur as he flings Oathkeeper behind his back aiming for the summon's head* Alright you look strong! But not quick enough to catch up with me!
*A small, seemingly normal cat sneaks into the GYM, and nuzzles the robed figure.*
*The robes figure looks down at the cat.* A cat? Where'd you come from? *The metal sphere begins to take shape and splits into two peices. The shapes look vaguely humanoid.*
*The Oathkeeper he threw at Moréchal just bounced right back and was flung behind where she was. Seeing Roxas running towards him, Malloryn decided to open her parasol to let out poison fog to cover where he went and also where Roxas was going, making him run straight into a swinging Anchor, Axe, and Hammer that was in the way of his keyblade.* "I respect the attemp, but my knight's armor isn't for show. He didn't even need to block the sword with his shield." he said, examining the field setting up more traps.
Mrrrow...
OOC:Is the gym active?
OOC: yus
OOC:Good
*The robed figure concentrates on the metal as he tries to pet the cat to content it.* I'm busy right now, kitty. I'm almost done. *The two metal figures begin having immense amounts of detail etched in, almost as if a machine was making them.*
Mrrow! *The cat bites down on the robed figure's hand.*
*The doors fly open and then a man wearing red and a gruff extieror holding a weapon with a triangular blade and wearing a belt saying "Free" Walks in while dawning a head band with the words "Rock you" on them*
*The robed figure just looks down at the cat.* That wasn't very smart, kitty. *The skin of the robbed figure was hard, almost like metal.*
Anyone not slacking around to fight or not?
*He chuckles and tries to leap into the air after a quick sidestep dodging the hammer but suffering a blow into his right arm causing the boy to wince* Gah okay that was painful but you covered the ground in traps huh? Well then I don't want to stay on the ground, Inversion Gravity! *Oathkeeper reappears in his hand as Roxas raises both arms up a dark field covering both fighter as he leaps into the air pointing his legs at the ceiling... And slowly rising towards it along with Mal* Hope you covered the celling in traps too! *He smirks at her*
@Roxas- i can do better...
Grrr.... *The cat rips off a piece of fabric from the robe and then hops up on the bench and cuddles it.*
OOC: Uh okay didn't really think we were having a contest here or anything, so not sure what brought that up Sol.
OOC:I want to challenge someone
OOC: Oh okay, I'm in the middle of a match Right now though so can't.
OOC:How long do i need to wait?
*The robed figure looks at the tear and sighs.* Geeze, not the most friendly cat, are you? *The robed figure continues focusing on the metal figures and the fight.*
*She giggles at his attempt to avoid him while she commands Moréchal to use Debilitate.* "Nice attempt at being smart, too bad I'm prepared. Comme toujours..." he said, triggering an arrow rain from above. *After that he readied his parasol and shot at him using poisonous bullets from said parasol.*
@LuxTenebris You fighting anyone? *The aloof yet lazy looking man asks in a less serious tone*
*The robed figure looks up the strange man.* What's with you people and always wanting to fight? I was just here to observe others fight... *The two pieces of metal float to the ground. One is an exact sculpture of Roxas holding Oathkeeper and Oblivion while the other is Malintent Covet holding their umbrella.* I don't see the point in a battle if I have nothing to gain from it, so if you want to fight then you'd have to prove worth my time.
Meeeow.... *The cat looks up at the robed figure and then down at the metal statues. He hops down and then knocks one down and rolls it with his nose out of the door, seemingly to spite him.*
Sam
You're not the most patient of guys, are you? *Sam is recording data of the fight nearby*
Heh maybe i just want to kill time or see if this is a waste of time
*The robed figure looks over to the cat as it rolls the figure out the door.* What a mean cat... ... *The robed figure get's up and begins chasing after the cat.* That's not a toy!
Heh cute pet
*Suddenly, the cat disappears, along with the statue.*
*The robed figure stomps their foot in frustration.* Damn cat! I used to like cats but now I think I hate them! *The robed figure furiously run out of the gym.*
*The cat reappears on the bench with the statue, and slyly licks his paw. If you looked closely, you could have even thought he was smirking a little bit.*
Gah Reflect! *A sphere of purple energy forms around Roxas swatting aside the arrows as he lands on the ceiling, a few bullets crashing into his chest causing Roxas to stumble back a bit as the poison takes effect* Grr that's a pretty cheap trick, but oh well that's how it goes in a fight! *He grins and a pair of fireballs form on his blades flying across the ceiling before turning into each other once they're about 10 feet from her and exploding in a burst of flames and smoke* Let's see if that did anything!
*You hear a slight grunt as she got hit with the bust, but when the smoke passes by, you see that her knight bunkered down and had shielded her from the full blast, still behind him.* *As the knight's still in his bunkered down position, you see that a trail of crystal spikes is now following Roxas from the ceiling, meaning that she has now casted Limbo's Peak.* Ooc: Limbo's Peak: Heavy Ice Damage, guaranteed hit.
OOC:Still waiting
*The boy throws his blades into the way blocking a few of the spikes but still suffering medium damage and being knocked back* gah I've gotta end this fast! Esuna! *A light covers Roxas resetting his stats to normal* (Esuna just clears debuffs and status effects) Okay then time to try and end this! *The boy leaps "up" into the hovering above the ceiling as circles of light form around him before a series of light orbs flies towards the Knight about 6 shots of medium damage racing at it aimed to try and get past the shields by smashing into legs and it's head* HOLY!
*Has her knight fade away so she doesn't have to take any more damage and uses Painful Acension, though only uses the "Ascension" part to fly "up" and slashing at him with the tip of her parasol for extra poison before going behind him.* *Though soon after she triggers evil strike coming from where he is and sending him towards the ground and then summoning her knight again to try and hold him back by pressing on him with his shields.*
Holy v2: Thirteen Blades! *The boy raises his blades towards her during the evil strike tossing the girl backwards as the light around Roxas merges together forming into a a series of 13 blades that hover around him before he raises them all towards it the blades dancing through the air bashing against her Knight's Shields and slicing into it's back with a blinding flurry, the blades vanish from the air as Roxas stares at the Knight panting heavily* He alright then let's see... Who's gonna win... *He breathes heavily and speaks slowly*
*The knight finally gives up as it falls to the ground, making a loud and heavy clank as it disappeared from their sight, Malloryn with few energy left, congrats Roxas and then passes out from exhaustion.* "This, was certainly nice. First time...for once...I, lost..." she said, falling onto Roxas, her clothes changing to her casual wear.
*He sighs and raises his blades up casting healing on them both before moving her over to the well placed GYN couch for knocked out fighters* (TM) Well that was definitely a good match... Geez I hope she's alright though, that was pretty tough even for me, and I'm hardly one to get worn down... *He shrugs and grins at the sleeping Mal before sitting down at the counter*
OOC: Continuing from 3 days ago... *Seeing Alice heal, Em begins thinking, before gathering together some balls of light into a bow made from hard light. Pulling back the bowstring, an arrow forms in the bow. Releasing the arrow, he aims down one of Seraph's wings that isn't injured.*
*Seraph was busy answering Alice's healing prayer so it hadn't noticed the arrow heading right for it resulting in the persona being struck. At this point Alice would stop the prayer as to go back onto the offensive before Em gets any more free shots.* Are you even allowed to hit another's persona!? Just hold it together Seraph and concentrate. *The persona, now given its orders, creates a ball of light within its hand and focuses on it. Alice would be standing in front of her persona with her spear in hand and a smaller ball of light materializing. She isn't anywhere near Em's level of magic manipulation but she's at least stabilized the thing now and given it a solid form with the intent of using it to cover for Seraph.*
*Seeing Alice go on the defensive, Em dissipates his bow into light, before summoning Saul.* How about we do the same! Let's go with Bonesaw, Saul! *Above the Persona, a ball of light begins building up energy, growing larger in size by the second. Inside the Persona, Em waves his hand across his face, and is suddenly wearing a mask.*
*A man with white hair,double edged sword red jacket,And a flamboyant like dress style walks in and looks around*
*While Seraph is left to its own task, Alice rushes over to Em's side of the field. While her own persona is busy she figures she can distract or maybe even cancel Em's own charging. She starts off by throwing the orb of light she materialized at Em, wanting to save melee for the last resort. By now the energy forming in Seraph's hand has grown to double its original size which still isn't that big but it's clearly still progress.* Come on Em, I'm standing right here you know. Just ripe for taking!
Heh, if you say so! Samson, join us! *As the ball of light reaches a tremendous size, Saul disappears, and Em rips the mask off his face. The large build of Samson now stands behind him, and the Persona puts it's hand into the ball of light, drawing out a large serrated blade.* This is it, let's go! Bonesaw! *Rushing forward with his Persona, Em with his Greatsword and Samson with it's blade of hard light, the two attempt to strike Alice and Seraph simultaneously with a large slash from both.*
*Seeing as Em's Samson was heading for Alice's Seraph, it'd seem that her persona is in for quite a beat down. Alice chose to go with a different tactic this time around as it turns out what Seraph had been charging wasn't any kind of powerful attack but a blessing. The ball of light launches itself at Alice, being absorbed and enhancing the girl's physical prowess just before she engages Em. As he would most likely get the first strike on her if she didn't move, Alice leaps into the air and begins raining down a flurry of stabs upon Em. Unfortunately, her choice to focus on Em rather than defending Seraph resulted in the persona taking a devastating blow from Samson.*
*With a clunky weapon, Em is only able to block one or two strikes before he's attacked with numerous stabs from Alice. He manages to stay on his feet, but ends up worse for wear.* That was a good move... Samson, converge with me! We've got some new things to deal with! *After its attack on Seraph, Em's Persona does a u-turn straight back towards him and Alice, raising it's blade. Em does the same, and the two attempt to slash her from the front and back at the same time.*
*Even with her new enhancements Alice won't be able to make it out of the attack completely unscathed. Seeing as Samson is a persona and Em is just... Em, she dives diagonally to the left while facing Em. She suffers some wounds across her back as she performs the move but it'd at least be from Em instead of Samson.* Gah!! I'll just... *Alice glances over to Seraph. The persona is unable to continue and as such it'll only be a matter of time before the blessing its placed on Alice wears off. It's apparent that it might already be doing just that as the light surrounding her dims slowly. With what little she has left, Alice would expel it and launch herself forward. While mid-air, and thus mid-launch, she'd rotate rapidly while holding her spear forward and pointed at Em.*
*With Alice flying towards him, Samson quickly rushes over and guards him fron the attack, befote skowly fading away afterwards, clearly incapable of taking more damage due to its low stamina. Em begins trying to make a ball of light, but it seems dimmer then before.* Dang, almost outta power... Better to save it. *Sheathing his greatsword, Em pulls out his second longsword in his left hand, and decides to one hand his Odachi in his right, seeing as his other longsword lies across the battlefield. He takes a defensive stance as he waits for Alice to attack.*
*Her attack having been guarded, she'd simply impact against Samson with little effect against Em. One the thing had faded Alice falls to the ground, landing on her feet but wobbling back and forth. After a feat such as that she'd clearly be rather dizzy not to mention pretty tired, especially seeing as the strength Seraph had granted her has now exhausted. Speaking of whom, the angelic persona has since left the battlefield.* Unnnh... At this point I'd say it's gone on long enough. But I suppose if you insist. *Judging by his stance, Alice assumes he has no intention of forfeiting. With no other option left by melee she closes the gap between them but tries to get behind him before going for a stab with her lance.*
*Em quickly swaps his left sword to upsidedown and pushes the lance away from himself, before swapping the hand to his right sword, going for a two handed slash at Alice's torso, although a bit weak of a strike.*
*Her attack would be parried, leaving her open to the counter that Em provides. Alice expects the worst and tries to disengage in time but she's just a tad late as the sword goes across her just before she steps back far enough to be out of range. She puts a hand over her wound as she distances herself further. With no means to heal herself and with little left to do but poke at Em with her spear, it's safe to say this battle is pretty much his. She doesn't outright admit defeat but she doesn't seem too prepared for a follow-up if Em chose to do one.*
*Em loosens up, and sheathes up his swords.* Well, that was fun, huh..? *Em summons Saul around himself, and begins charging.*
*At this point it'd be foolish to try any harder only to drag it out. Alice just frowns before getting onto her knees, putting her spear down, putting her hands in her lap, and bowing her head.* A-alright! You win.
*Saul finishes charging, and heals both Em and Alice before fading away.* W-woah, wait. I'm just patching us up. No point in going any further and injuring you before the big tourney, right? *Em walks over to Alice and extends his hand.* I haven't seen many Personas that can fly like that, you know. That's pretty cool if you ask me. And that buff move was really cool too. I've used Light for buffs, but not like that.
*She stays still for a moment, feeling like an utter fool that she mistook that for an attack. Eventually she sits back up and takes Em's hand so that she may rise to her feet. Now that she's standing she straightens the bow around her collar and clears her throat.* R-right then. Uhm... Well thank you. I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't actually defeat you but I suppose this was nice practice for said tournament. If I'm going to win anything I'd like to to be that.
Well, I don't mean to ramble on about this for too long, but aren't your skills more support focused? And if you could give a teammate that buff from earlier, you're easily a high priority teammate for any high damage dealing fighter. Basically my point is you don't need to worry about how well you do on your own. At least I think so anyways. Besides, once you get Magic Manipulation down, you'll certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
Support is a good way to put it I suppose, and I may end up doing that with the blessing in the tournament. But should it come down to it I'd prefer not to be completely helpless in a 1-on-1 situation. Should my teammate go down or be eliminated through some other means I don't intend to surrender. *Her determination is apparent by a serious expression on her face when even talking about the tournament.* Speaking of magic manipulation, is there anything other advice you can offer when it comes to advancing it? I'd like to be able to do more than just create little balls by the time my first match rolls around.
Really, all there is to do is keep on using it. Even just making a bunch of balls of light should help the magic get attuned to your body. What I usually do is make some objects from light, like this. *Em creates a kunai from hard light, and twirls it on his index finger.* The more you do it, the easier it gets. Plus it gives you time to experiment with it. Oh, and make sure you use it at least once a day or so. Eventually it'll get out of tune again if you don't use it.
My it truly can be manipulated to be anything can it? Well as they say, "practice makes perfect" so I suppose I should head home now and test it out there. Thank you once more for introducing me to magic manipulation and uh... I guess thank you for the duel even though you practically destroyed me once again. *With that Alice departs. She always was one who couldn't carry on a conversation for more than a couple minutes.*
*Laharl busts through the GYM doors* Who wants to fight an Overlord!?
Don't think anyones here, dood.
(Head appears out of a Rift.) ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
...Hey look, lord Laharl. A challenger, dood. And his name is John Cena.
Where? I don't see him?
Must have ran away from your awesome might, dood.
No challenge here. Just a spectator.
*Arriving on the scene, the hero enters GYM.* Is this... a training ground? A massive training ground?! *Owain grasps his left wrist.* Augh, my sword hand twitches! I require a plentiful feast with an opponent! *Seeing a training dummy, Owain approaches it, unsheathing a curved sword.* You shall be my first victim, foe! Take this! Sacreeed Stones! *Owain does a spinning strike, before backflipping and striking the dummy 3 times, so fast he seems to move as a blur.* Haha! Not so mighty now, are you?!
*he walks in with hia Wo Dao and chitin armor* Hey look it's Odin.
* Walks into the GYM * Huh, this is where people train nowadays ? * He shrugs it off * Anyway, does anyone here want to fight me?
*The twins look in* Braza: This place looks weird Irona: What this?
*The trap bursts in the door, still in his normal clothes.* "I only came back to check up on everything..." she said before seeing Ema. "Huh, change of plans then." she said, changing into his metaverse look holding onto her parasol with his mask on. "I assume you're here to train, am I right?" she said to Ema, stroking his hair to message to him that he's a girl when, he's not.
* Looks at the Twins * I'm guessing this place is where you fight other people?
Both: Huh. Neat. Some other time. *The twins leave*
Ooc: This might become a meme if I keep this up...
* Looks at Malintent_Covet * So, are you here to train too?
"C'est la seule raison pour laquelle vous êtes ici, n'est-ce pas?" she mumbled in french. "If that's the case, sure. I am qualified in that tournament after all so I do need some good sparring before I fight." she said.
* Looks at her with a suspicious look * Say, are you good at any wrestling skills like double leg takedowns, that sort of thing?
"Excuse me?" she said, looking at him glaringly. "Ce fou s'est perdu, l'anneau de lutte se trouve au centre-ville..." she mumbled in french again, dusting off her parasol.
* Looks at the woman * I'll take that as no. Anyway, what kind of fighting style do you have?
"Why do you ask? I like surprises..." she said while the song "Last Surprise" started playing in her head for a brief moment. "I take it you are ummm, how do I say this...well, just, are you gonna fight or not? And also, are you in the tourney I'm attending?"
Funny you say that, I was going to ask the same thing and to answer the second question, I'm in the Tourney also. * Looks a Malintent with cold eyes * Are you sure you want to fight me? I've dealt with people who could throw buildings at me, sent me into outer-space and other things that would of killed me but I survived it all.
"Est-ce que ce putain essayant de me intimider?" she again mumbled in french. "If that's the case then a tourney won't be a problem. I'm pretty sure if you survived all that, 'lil ol me' can surely fight you." she said to him, imitating his best friend when he said "lil ol me".
Alright then, lets get started. * Pushes the device in the middle of his chest where all of his Venom he has stored on his back came flowing through tubes that he has connected form the machine that stored the Venom into his arms, legs, and head. The tubes started glowing as the Venom was going into his body. Come on, let's see if you have the will.
*Scouting the area to see where to place some traps, he then pulls off his mask to reveal his ever-so-loyal Guardian Knight Persona, Moréchal." "Ok, now use God's Hand please." she said as the knight charges at the man full force with his two greatshields, towering him by 4 feet.
* Looking at the knight charging at him, he begins to run too with all with his force he got. * * Colliding with the knight, the knight began to stagger little with all the force he put on him * Huh, you are tough one aren't you.
*Examining how they fared, she decided which traps to use and set them.* "Be a dear and come back to me my knight." she said as Moréchal had dissapeared leaving Ema with only himself. *She started off with a bear trap to clamp him and then follow it up with a giant swinging axe to make him stagger into where she placed her iron ball and drop it on him.* Ooc: This all does Physical damage btw.
* When seeing the iron ball fall, he reached out his hands and grabbed the iron ball. * * He then dropped the iron ball, took off the bear trap that was on his leg. * What a sneaky mujer you are, but your going to need more then that to take me down. * Grabbing the iron ball, he throw the iron ball at Malintent like it was a baseball. *
"I respect your attempt mister, but..." she paused before she saw the ball coming at her. *She sighs at Bane's attempt to hit her with her own trap, merely dodging out of the way without the need for her knight since he saw the ball coming back from a mile away.* *Needless to say, she still summoned him to distract Ema from him. At least for more plans with her traps. Not before using Heat Riser though.* "Alright, once more, God's Hand." he said to the knight as it charged at him like it did before.
Still want more? * Saying that to the knight coming at him.* * When the knight finally approached him, the knight was attacked with the Power Bomb where he was lifted in the air and was slammed into the ground. * He may have the strength but he lacks the techniques.
*He grunted at the sudden power bomb on the knight, since it hurt him too.* "I thought you were joking! Ugh, now I'm eager to finish you. Dearest knight, come back please." he said, having Moréchal disappear. *She then proceeds to snap her fingers, revealing a giant buzzsaw coming straight for Ema along with a volley of arrows that seemed to come out of nowhere.*
* As the buzzsaw and arrows are coming in, more Venom was injected into his system by the push of a button on his chest and so, he grabbed the floor using his own two hands and ripped a piece of the floor off. * * He hold the chunk of floor in front of him and the arrows deflected off the but the buzzsaw was still sawing onto the piece of the floor he was holding. He then was stuck there with the buzzsaw still cutting on the chuck of floor he was still holding, trying to think what to do next.
*Seeing him distracted with the buzzsaw, she decided to go behind him swiftly and cut off his venom source using the poison dart on the tip of her parasol. After that she decided to send Moréchal back out for payback.* "This is for last time, ok Moréchal, use Gigantomachia." she commanded as the knight walked up to Ema slowly, dragging his greatshields.
* He was struck back by the great force Morechal has given him, sending him to the ground.* * He slowly got back up on his feet. He grabbed his head due to the force and realized the tubes have been cut and his supply of Venom is gone. * Pretty smart move señora Malloryn, but my natural strength will be back soon. * He watches Malloryn and Moréchal carefully.*
"Right, well then, I guess it's time to finish this then." she said, looking at him with a blank stare before turning to her knight doing the same. *It was only inevitable before she decided what to do.* "...Debilitate." he said as he debuffed Ema even more. "I've got it! Ok, sit this one out." she said, having the knight disappear as he prepared to do some actual magic. *He started off using Limbo's Peak for some nice Heavy guaranteed Ice damage before the trail of Crystal spikes split apart to hit him again. Then decided to use Heaven's Message for Heavy physical damage starting out, but then to Severe Electric damage. After that she proceeds to use Painful Acension for Heavy Wind Damage and a guaranteed critical hit and then finishes it off with Hell's Firework's for Severe Fire Damage...and because that was the only skill she had left.* *Then she "magically" changes back to her regular clothes because she didn't feel the need to use her finisher and merely walked away. Probably to go to sleep.*
* After a long while being passed out on the ground, he got back up and saw she was gone.* *He started talking to himself.* You may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war. * He dust himself off and walks out of the gym.*
[The blonde man walks into the building, his massive sword mounted on his back. He looks around, his piercing blue eyes looking for an owner or any form of life really.] Hello! Is anyone here?
(Omnibump)
DlO
(I, Dio, kick the door down and laugh at it.) You, door of wooden materials, have fallen to I, Dio! And I, Dio, shall leave. My work here is done. (I, Dio, leave.)
[The blonde man looks to the muscular fellow and before he can talk, the man is gone. Dejected he sits down in a chair.] Well...there goes the only other person I've seen today...
*Woah! Look! Its the koolaid guy! And he just smashed through a wall! Hopefully that wall didn't have a door! Oh Yeah!
I... [He sighs and looks at the massive pitcher of juice.] ....beggars can't be choosers. Hello, I'm Cloud. Nice to meet you.
Oh Yeah! *The Kool Aid man then smashes through all the gym equipment, leaving kool aid stains and destruction wherever he goes before smashing through another wall and away into the sunset while "There goes my Hero" plays.
[Cloud would bring a hand to his face.] Why? I just want a fight damn it!
[The green haired boy steps through the destroyed doorway, and looks around with a shy expression.] Uhm...is anybody there...? I-I haven't seen anyone yet...
[Cloud perks up and waves to the newcomer.] Finally! Hey there! [Cloud would approach the shy man with a warm smile.] I'm happy to see someone normal for once...I'm Cloud, nice to meet you!
[Kazuma waves shyly at him, looking down.] I-I'm Kazuma, n-nice to meet you...Mister Cloud...
Hey Cloud! [Zack waves excitedly over to Cloud and jogs over, a grin on his face.] Been a long time bud!
*walks in and stretches*
Pleased to meet you Kazu- [Cloud's heart stops for a moment as he hears a familiar voice.] No way... [He turns and sees the black haired man from his past, a smile forming on his face.] Z-Zack?! Is...is it really you? [Cloud would walk towards his old friend, almost in a daze.]
*Walks in* This is the place?
*Follows Ikebu*
Hey Pika?
Hey. I'm here cuz I'm bored.
[Zack grins at him before ruffling Cloud's hair as he pets him.] Of course it's me! No else can look so cool and hot as me! [Zack posed, an idiotic grin on his face before he starts chuckling, going back to his original position.] Good to see that you're alright bud.
*gets on a bench and starts lifting*
Someone spot me
[Cloud can't help but be embarrassed by the act, however that goes out the window as Zack goes back to his usual self. Cloud laughs loudly.] I'm not sure how you're here, but I'm not going to complain! Hahaha! [He pulls the Buster Sword from his back and presents it to Zack.] I've been taking good care of this baby, by the way.
*Starts doing push ups*
*Starts doing push ups*
*struggles while lifting weights*
[Zack smiles fondly as he clutched the handle of the Buster Sword, idly carrying it as he looked it over.] Clean as whistle, you really did take care of it. Did you uphold your dreams and honor as well? [Zack hands the sword back, a grin on his face]
*grunting* 3
*grunting* 4
*The aloof bounty hunter walks in and takes a seat*
At first they were just the dreams you gave me. [He grabs back the blade and stares at his reflection in it.] But with Tifa and my friends...I found my own dreams and honor. I fought tooth and nail for my beliefs. [He smirks as he twirls the blade before mounting it on his back.] Wouldn't want to let you down, considering you taught me what it means to be a hero.
*stops lifting and sits up*
@Cloud_Strife Is that a giant box cutter i take it?
And 200! *Stops doing push ups and looks at Ikebu* Are you okay?
*sees Sol* Hey, you're that bounty hunter!
And yea im fine Hisa
Good...
Wanna have a spar?
*I Look at @Ikebu_Kuro* I can go a round
Sure..
Or go with the bounty hunter. You decide.
[Cloud grins as he responds to the question.] Box cutter? Don't quit your day job pal, you aren't cut out to be a comedian.
[Zack chuckles before patting Cloud on the shoulder.] A hero huh...? [Drawing forth an almost mirror reflection of the Buster Sword from his back, Zack eased into a stance, a silly grin on his face.] Then let's see how good you've gotten over the years!
I'm sparring with you, i cant compete with guy like Sol
Alright you fight a witcher... *Takes out his steel sword*
*I grin back at cloud and look at him*
*pulls out Gae Bulg*
[Looking back to his old friend he would smile wide, pulling his blade off his back once more.] Don't hold back. I'm stronger than I was back in SOLDIER, I'm not a kid anymore. [His blue eyes hold fierce determination as he walks towards the arena in the back of the facility.]
Ready?
*stands on the other side*
*smirks* mhm
*Charges at Ikebu*
*takes one step and does a leg sweep*
*Manages to block the attack then punches him* Almost...
[Zack grins as he eyed Cloud, his body at tense, ready to spring forth into battle.] You never made it into SOLIDER bud! [Grinning, Zack pointed the tip of his sword to Cloud.] You were a ShinRa rifleman before, pretty good with that rifle as well. Let' see what you can do with your sword.
*catches his fist and kicks him back*
Igni! *Casts the sign on him and it burns him*
*absorbs the fire* Hehe *Gae Bulg turns into a shotgun*
Not bad...
*Does push ups in background* One school shooting Two school shootings Three school shootings...
[He scratches his head.] Right. Memories are still jumbled up sometimes...regardless... [He mirrors Zack's posture and pose. His eyes become focused and his breathing steady.] Let's dance! [He dashes across the ground, seemingly floating above the ground. As he reaches striking distance, he'd skid to a halt and using the remaining kinetic energy to slam the blunt end of the blade into Zack.]
*fires*
*Swings the sword to block the bullets*
*dashes towards him and points a knife at his chest*
*Takes the dagger out of his shoe then stabs Ikebu's hand*
*blocks the dagger with the knife*
*Jumps away from Ikebu and uses Aard to throw him away* ....
Woah *gets thrownu
*Dashes towards him and hits his head with the sword hilt*
... damn you're good
*she watches the fight with interest* ....hm.
[Grinning, Zack swiped his sword sideways, deflecting incoming attack before he slashed diagonally upwards across Cloud's chest with the blunt edge.] Sharp lunge there bud!
*Enters the GYM* Hmm, so this is a gym?
*she turns her attention to Cloud and Zack's fight* Ooh.
Thanks, Igni! *Burns him with the sign*
But you didnt expect this *Throws a knife at Hisa's foot*
So it's a fighting arena,...
*she turns her attention back at Hisato and Ikebu's fight*
*Takes out the knife like nothing happened and jumps away*
2nd time you forgot *Gae bulg turns back into a lance as I jump back and dashes back at him*
*Does a spinning kick*
*Watching Ikebu and Hisato fight*
*dodges*
[He barely has enough time to react as his blade is pushed aside by the parry.] Woah! [Cloud is pushed back by the slash, his heels digging into the dirt to stop him. He'd look up with a grin.] Not as sharp as your senses it seems! [He quickly dashes backwards and mounts his sword on his back.] I've also learned how to use Materia. Take this... [He puts his arms out in front of him, aiming his finger tips at Zack.] ....Comet! [A yellow light emanates from Cloud as a small comet comes down from the skies, getting closer with every passing second.]
*Grabs popcorn*
Hey Pika.
*she turns her attention back to Cloud and Zack's fight* Ooh...
Looks like should turn it up! Inari Okami, Burn Rubber *my shoes catch on fire*
Haha good one... *Prepares for any attack*
*Shoves head into popcorn*
[Zack grinned before closing his eyes, recalling his memories... A flash of green eyes and white hair... His eyes snapping open, Zack grinned as he hefted his sword up, a familiar stance..] I'm feeling it..!! [Dashing forward, Zack started to slash rapidly, a familiar string of attacks that Cloud has faced before]
(0:00 to 0:07)
*runs at him and does an aerial tatsumaki senpukyaku*
*her eyes seem glued to Cloud and Zack's fight*
*Jumps away from the attack fast like a cat*
Time for the real match to begin *throws a fist*
*Grabs his fist and does a leg sweep*
Finally, a fist fight...
