Plot

In another world, a competition of epic proportions takes place. Humans have discovered a way to transport their minds across dimensions and become another being, known as an astrals. As their astral, people battle against one another, which has allowed many to gain fame and glory over the years, but from year to year, there can be only one that can be called a true champion. Once a year, a grand tournament takes place in the fighter capitol of the world, Vangrant city. The tournament almost seemed like the perfect sport, a perfect escape from any problems one might encounter in the real world, but things did not always remain that way.

Twenty-three years ago, the world was thrown into chaos by the evil Shroud, who used mysterious red orbs, that, when activated, trapped the fighters in the arena, suddenly turning the battles into a real life fight to the death.  Using these orbs, Shroud trapped most of the tournament's contestants in battle, where the majority of them were killed upon defeat. Not all hope was lost, though, as the human fighter Daylin Hakima, who had proved to be one of the top fighters entered in that year's tourney, joined forces with Stan Masters, the raining champ at that time. Garlock, Daylin's astral, fused with Stan's astral, Ripfang, to form Shadow Garlock. Using his newly found power, Garlock was able to defeat Shroud, and the red orbs were destroyed. Stan was no longer able to battle, though, as he had decided to leave Ripfang with Daylin, the new champion.

Due to the tragedies that occurred, the tournament was discontinued, and astral fighting itself became an illegal activity. This inevitably led to the formation of an underground league, where fighters would get together and battle in secret locations, despite the fact that it was against the law. Without a true organization or governing body to control this underground league, many battlers found that they were able to get away with using forbidden items, techniques, and stages. Fighters still attended these battles though, as it was the only way for them to continue their favorite activity. Four years later, astral fighting became accepted by the legal system once again, and people were able to see the rise of a new, official, organized league of astral fighting, complete with all new, never before seen arenas. This league was known as the Galactic Fighters Association, or GFA for short. Each year's season in the league ended with a newly revised tourney, now called the Galactic Finals, to determine a new champion. The league prospered and thrived for a number of years, but so did the underground. While many of the underground's participants migrated over to the GFA, there were still some that remained behind, for various reasons.

Over time, the underground grew, and five man teams, or gangs, began to dominate this still-illegal league. While the intentions of those who participated in this league differ greatly, rumor has it that the one who conquers the underground will obtain something life-changing. As for what this something is, as well as how the underground is to be conquered, remains a mystery, the rumors are well known and believed by nearly everyone that participates. Because of this, cheating has become even more common in the underground, as a win is all that matters to many. Eventually, the underground instituted its own sort of championship as well. Although it has no official name, it is referred to many as the Black Tourney, where every gang that wishes is allowed to participate and battle others in a best of five, tournament-style bracket. For those few that do not belong to a gang, there are several other lone wolves that set up what many call a mercenary gang, or a team created just for the Black Tourney that is to be disbanded afterwards. The gang that wins the tournament then gets the chance to take on the top three teams of the underground (who don't participate in the tourney) in any order they wish, again in a best of five format. It is unknown what the gang who defeats these three, referred to as the Triad, as this feat has never been accomplished.

The GFA's popularity has decreased recently, as in the past three years, eight of the Galactic Finals's past champions have either been murdered or have mysteriously disappeared. The most recent of these cases is the death of world-class fighter Daylin Hakima. After this occurrence, the GFA has made the difficult decision to close down both the league and the Galactic Finals, which was set to occur in only a week. It seems as if history could be repeating itself, for with the GFA's closure, astral fighting has once again been outlawed, and a select few of the GFA's fighters find themselves with a mysterious invitation that could only lead to the underground. While many suddenly discover themselves to be surrounded by mystery, what lies ahead, for both astral fighters and not, can only be described as something that will be life-changing.

GM POST

It was a bright, sunny day in Vagrant City, but it was too bad that the feeling didn't quite translate to all of its citizens. The recent events that lead up to the closing of the GFA, namely the death of Daylin Hakima, had shaken the world into almost a depression and a state of disbelief, and right in the center of it all was Vagrant City. People began checking out of hotels, and a few even moved out of their homes. The world continued turning, though, and life moved on, and while business dipped a little for the city, not much else seemed to change, save for the atmosphere, which felt heavier and gloomier than it typically did in the late fall.

Something was going on tonight, though. It was something so big that some thought it could change this gloomy atmosphere all on its own, but for being so big, so few people were able to know of it. Many of the underground sat in anticipation, for tonight was the underground's first meeting since the closure of the GFA a week ago. Interestingly enough, should the GFA continued, today would be the start of the Galactic Finals.

As the underground fighters awaited the reveal of the location for tonight's event, a series of mysterious letters, contained in navy envelopes, arrived through the mail at the homes and hotels of several GFA fighters. The envelopes contained a simple message written on a blue sheet of paper with a thick, white ink. The message read:

WE HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF OUR FREEDOM,
INTEGRITY,
HONOR,
AND GLORY.
HELP US BEGIN TO TAKE IT BACK TONIGHT. HELP US, HELP YOURSELF, ON A ROAD TO REDEMPTION.
IT IS TIME FOR YOUR ASTRAL TO FIGHT AGAIN. JOIN US TONIGHT IN THE UNDERGROUND AND BATTLE FOR A CAUSE.
BATTLE FOR YOUR CAUSE.

In a much smaller print at the bottom of the letter were fairly simple instructions. If the recipient of the letter so wished, then that evening, at sunset, they were to meet with a contact (which was different for each person) at a specified location in the industrial district.

Luke and Kat

It was Kat's birthday in a few days, and so Luke had spent the morning looking for the perfect gift, yet suffice to say he had nothing. He could have just bought her a hoodie, as she always wore that cat-themed jacket of hers, no matter the weather, but he wanted something a bit more special.

As Luke made his way through a less-crowded portion of the downtown area on his way to the monorail station, Luke reached up and pulled his gray jacket hood up over his head. He cursed under his breath. It was a bit cold today, and in his rush to leave the house early before Kat woke up and started asking where he was going, Luke forgot his beanie. He almost never forgot his beanie. He wasn't sure why, but the ever so famous opening tune of the Vagrant City News caught his attention, and he turned toward the giant screen that was planted on the side of a nearby building.

"We're receiving a special report on the murder-case of the once great astral fighter Daylin Hakima," the news reporter said into her microphone, right off the bat of the newscast. "Inside sources are telling us here at the VCN that authorities claim to be one step closer to finding the killer of Mr. Hakima. News is scarce at the moment, but we promise to keep you updated throughout the day on any developments."

With that, the short newscast ended. Luke rolled his deep, brown eyes as he continued to make his way to the station, but stopped once again to take his now ringing phone out of his pocket.

"Hello?" he asked upon unlocking the smartphone.

"Hey, where are you? I've got something...weird." It was the unmistakable, soft, cute sound of Kat's voice.

"Oh, uh, sorry, I'm on my way home," Luke replied, continuing to walk. "But what do you mean by weird?"

"It's some kind of letter. It doesn't make much sense to me, you have to see it."

"Alright, I'm on my way," Luke replied, "I'll see you in a bit."

Luke hung up the phone and stuffed his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, swiftly making his way to the monorail station.

Nexalas

Nexalas was typing away on his laptops keyboard, lazying on one of the couches. It was boring today as usual, aside from the occasional training sessions Nexalas had nothing to do but test out his coding skills... or bug Ashton.

Soooo, Ash

He looked across the room to his supposed leader, on the other couch trying to sleep.

I heard a rumor that there are going to be newbies in the underground soon from the GFA, want to see if we can get some new members?

He was half hopeful that Ashton would be in the mood to do something leadery, but he knew they came back from a funeral. Knowing Ash, he'll probably take a day or two off of fighting or being a leader, in which case the group will take yet another pause. Again.

Soul

Another boring day.

Sitting behind an abandoned car, Soul stares through the scope of his rifle, waiting for  the first of the horde to appear. It's been days since he set out, so he was running a bit low on supplies. But he couldn't venture too far into town until he knew the group of zombies he saw the other day wouldn't interfere.

He felt a tap on his shoulder, but no noise, and whipped out his knife to ready himself. He saw a small box in the corner of his eyesight, reading EXTERIOR CONTACT. Soul tapped his chest above his heart, disabling the Virtual Reality suit he was wearing. He now stood facing an associate of his father.

A letter for you, Sir. I'll leave you until later in the day. The man turned and left with a wink.

Soul was now holding a navy envelope, containing a blue sheet of paper with white lettering. After reading it over, he realized what the man meant. He dialed his fathers' office and pressed the intercom button on the room's security monitor.

Hey dad, I'm going out with some friends for dinner. I'll be back sometime late. Let mom know so she isn't worried.

Ash and Misty
Ash was sprawled out on another couch, arms crossed over his chest and hat covering his face. His breathing was heavy and labored, and he barely registered Nexalas' speaking to him.  His mind was focused on the funeral he had just gotten back from, on his Dad's face in the coffin. It had hurt so much to see his Dad like that, normally tanned skin so pale, the normally confident look on his face exchanged for something more serene. If Ash hadn't known better, he would have thought he was sleeping. It was so heart-wrenching to look over at his Mom, a woman normally composed of sugar and spice and everything nice, in tears. To see her staring at his Dad, to watch her experience the same thing he did and more. It wasn't fair.

"Ash, did you hear Nexalas?" Misty spoke loud enough for him to hear her, but her voice was gentle. She'd been through what he had, and it was easy to see through his facade. He was never good at hiding his emotions, he didn't inherit that family trait. So he always hid behind his hat, the thing he never took off, that he had gotten from his Dad for his birthday ten years. "He asked if you wanted to go size up the newbies." The statement was incredibly ironic coming from her, considering she'd only been there for two week herself. She'd come to watch over him, but he was just drawing farther and farther away....

"Nah, you guys can if you want. I just want a nap." The raven-haired battlers voice cracked slightly, but he quickly went silent. He just wanted to be alone. He wasn't even sure why they were here, he had wanted to head home, not come to the warehouse. But Misty had insisted that they come here. And considering she was in a knee-length, midnight black one piece dress, black sandals, and had let her her hair lose, allowing it to fall to her shoulders in waves, he didn't argue. Misty hated dressing up, so she must have thought it was important. So here he was.

"Ashton Hakima, get up right now!" Misty jerked up out of the recliner she was sitting in, stomping over to stand above Ash. "It's been two weeks, Ash. I've given you your mourning period, and I've been with you the whole time. I'm at your house every morning before you even wake up, and I don't go home until after you've fallen asleep! I'm doing everything I can, but you just keep pushing me away. You won't even talk to your Mom! Do you know how that makes her feel? One son always gone, another who won't speak to her. You may have lost your Dad, but she lost her husband. The man she's known since before you were born. Don't you think that it hurts her, too? But she's trying to be strong for you, Ash." Misty stopped her rant for a moment, fists clenched into the sides of her dress and breathing heavily. "But you don't appreciate it." The sentence hung in the air, drifting around the room.

"You don't think I appreciate it, Misty?" Ash's voice no longer wavered, it was just scold, emotionless. "You don't think I appreciate that you've given up so much of your time to help me? I do, Myst, I really do, but I can't help how I feel. I can't help that I feel like any of you could be ripped away from me at anytime. That you could be walking home and someone could grab you and kill you, that Mom could slip walking down the stairs and break her neck. That Red could disappear and no one would notice, because Red is always gone. I can't help it, Myst. Dad was the strongest battler ever, the strongest person I knew. And they got him. If they can take Dad down, Misty, what can I do to stop them from getting any of you? What could I do if they came for you and Mom?" Ash had stood up at this point, hat discarded on the ground and tears streaming from his eyes, dripping onto the cement floor. He sounded broken, like someone could blow on him and he'd fly away.

"Ash... You don't deal with death by running away from the people who love you." Misty locked eyes with him, no longer glaring, just staring "Yes,  Ash, death is a fickle mistress, one no one has ever beaten. But that just means you have to spend more time with them, make more memories, so that when they finally are gone, you can look back and smile. That's the reason your Mom has tried calling Red every day since your Dad died, and the reason, for the first time in a long time, he's picked up. It's the reason I've spent so much time with you."

The room fell into silence, while Nexalas chirped awkwardly in the background, completely forgotten about.

The silence dragged on for a few moments, and Nexalas sighed, knowing he shouldn't involve himself but he couldn't help but to try and lighten the mood. He shifted to sitting up on the couch.

Here's an idea: How about we go out and get ice cream or something? If this gets any more tense we might make a black hole.

He spoke in a half joking, half caring mannor. No matter how much he argued with Ashton, he didn't like seeing him miserable and the group fighting each other.

Efialtes


Efialtes had just been sitting in the corner of the room, he wasn't sitting in any of the chairs, possibly because he just preferred the floor to chairs, or possibly because he had been trying to distance himself from the current situation at hand. He had just watched something he always hated, his hero getting in an argument that he couldn't win. The worst part? He himself couldn't say a word to change the subject. Ashton and Misty had just came back from a funeral, so one wrong word, one ill-timed pun, one tasteless comment, one sarcastic remark, one idiotic joke, and he could have done it. He he could  have messed everything up. He just stared into a book with a black cover, supposedly going over a strategy, when in reality, he was just staring at a blank page, trying to think of something he could do.

The silence that had fallen after the argument had stopped for a few seconds, had been broken once again by Nexalas, he said something about everyone going out for Ice Cream. Efialtes closed his book, a quiet thud could be heard as he dropped it on the ground, and proceeded to get up off the ground. He started to speak, attempting to hide his not only nervous, but scared tone, behind a fake cheerful tone, and a somewhat cheerful statement. "Well, if we do end up going, I'll buy."

Ash and Misty
"I'm up for it if you are, Ash." Misty was the first of the two to speak, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear and glancing at Ash. His eyes were still puffy and red, but he had picked up the discarded cap and put it back on his head. He hadn't dressed up for the funeral, showing up in a blue and white jacket unzipped halfway to reveal a white undershirt, black jeans, and blue and white sneakers. "I might have to call the hospital if you turn the offer down though, because the Ash I know never turns down food."

Ash opened his mouth to reject the offer, and went quiet as his own stomach interrupted him, growling loudly. "Yeah, I'm up for it. Though," he glanced at Efialtes, then Nexalas, "I'm paying." He didn't give them time to argue, reaching into his back pocket and grabbing his wallet. It was worn, now more black and gray, and the leather was creased. Misty was quick to notice it wasn't his wallet, but his Dad's. 'So that's what his Mom gave him at the funeral.'

He pulled two twenties from it, handing Nexalas one and Efialtes the other. "Keep the change, I don't need it. I got plenty." He did his best to smile, but it came out bad. His eyes were weighed down by big purple bags, and his lips were chapped from the cool breeze, making him look like quite a mess. "I can driv-" Ash started to offer to drive them all to the restaurant, but Misty cut him off.

"I'll drive us, being in the car with you for as long as I was was bad enough." She gave him a cheeky smile, pulling a scrunchy off her wrist and putting her hair up in the usual sideways ponytail. "You're bad enough when you're not drop dead tired." Then she reached into his jacket pocket and snatched his keys, walking towards the door. "You guys coming?"

Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 01, 2013, 04:26:19 AM

Nexalas nodded as he took the twenty. It was a bit overkill in his opinion; after all, he had a few coupons he was going to use.
Good thing I know him well enough that he cant reject food.
Nexalas walked past  out of the hideout and looking back at them.
I got some coupons we can use too, so lets stuff our faces for now.
He smiled at everyone warmly. Though he knew that things would be awkward for now, it was nice to have a day where he can actually be friendly for once. He then went into the backseat of the sports car.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Noon|Sunny
Post by: Desbear on December 01, 2013, 04:35:13 AM

Efialtes flailed his arms out in front of him, a tone that of which more sounded like pleading more than anything else, came out. "No wait, you don't have t-" He was cut off, as a twenty was held out in front of him. It would have been rude to protest any longer, and considering the circumstances, being rude wasn't an option. He sighed a bit as he took the twenty, he was sure he was gonna get to pay for once. Although, he was fairly confused at how much he had been given. 'A twenty? For Ice cream? Meh, I'll just hide the change in one of his belongings next time he takes a nap...'

Efialtes walked outside, smiling at Nexalas and nodding. "Sounds good." His voice was now a bit more convincing now, the nervous mixed with a fearful tone had been almost completely ironed out, replaced by a cheerful tone, before he climbed in the back seat sport car, sitting beside Nexalas. He leaned over to the other in the back, quietly making a statement. "Good call on the ice cream, seems Ashton can't turn down food, even during these...Events."

Dagen

"Damn it, just as I got the courage to enter the tourney, they went ahead and cancelled it." Dagen kicked a random rock on the ground from his misdirected anger. He quit his job to make it big, not because he wants money, but because he feels he needs to prove himself. "I know the champ was murdered, and I may not have had a chance against him or anyone in his league, but they didn't need to go overboard. It's not like the rest of us died." He calmed down a bit, and felt his stomach rumble a little.

"Snack time. Guess I'll get ice cream." He seen the shop across the street from him, and checked the money in his pocket. He had just enough for a small cone. He went inside the shop and got a butterscotch cone, and slyly nabbed some sprinkles while no one was looking. It was a hard life if you had no job. He sat down to enjoy his ice cream.

Salvador

Salvador was busy fighting someone he just beat in an astral battle. His opponent was being sore, and didn't want to pay up. The man went in for a drop kick, but Salvador caught him in the air and slammed him into the ground with his fist. While he writhed in pain, Sal extended a hand, silently demanding for his money. The man had no choice. "Fine, here, 100 like we agreed. But next time you try something fishy, I will gut you." Sal waved him off. Most of these punks talked a big game, but could never back it up. He went about his day.

Yume Tsuki

Yume ate her ice cream modestly. She took a quick glance at the bracelet on her wrist. 'Banned game eh...?' She thought. 'Perhaps I should hide this thing a little better. Or this thing might be some kind of lie and just be some tracker device.' Speaking of which, ever since she got the bracelet she heard a voice in her mind. She looked around only moving her eyes to see if she saw anyone else wearing a bracelet, nobody seemed to have any. A guy sat down at her table she just looked away and continued eating her ice cream. "What's up girl." She ignored him. "Hey, I'm talking to you." Yume looked the guy in the eye with a blank face. "What?" She said with a mild tone of irritation in her voice. Everyone in the store was looking their way. "Oh? What's with that reaction? Don't like company?" He was getting closer. "Go away." The girl said in a monotone voice.

Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 01, 2013, 07:17:33 PM

Ash and Misty
"I hate you," Ash grumbled, fixing Misty with a death glare. She had the keys to his baby. The sleek black and yellow car was his pride and joy, and it terrified him to let the redhead drive it. The V8 engine, the leather interior... He loved it more than he loved food. And that was saying a lot. "Do you even know how to drive a stick shift?" There was a pause, then the raven-haired boy sighed. "Scratch that, you barely even know how to drive."

Misty glared at him, walking around the car and sliding into the driver's seat. "If you can drive one, it can't be that hard. You have the IQ of a peanut, after all."  Then she placed the key into the ignition, scooting the chair closer to the wheel. "Besides," She added, turning the key and smiling coyly as the engine roared to life. "I passed my Drivers Test on the first try, unlike you."

"The only reason I didn't pass that test was because the old lady testing me was convinced I was speeding! I was on an even fifty!" Ash glowered at the dashboard, arms crossed. "Crazy old bat... And anyways, the only reason you passed your test is because the instructor didn't want to get back in the car with you!" According to Misty's sister, when the instructor got out of the car he was pale as a ghost, and shaking as he handed her the license.

The two continued to bicker as Misty removed the car from park, pulling out of the alley and into the busy street. For Misty and Ash, this was normal, for Nexalas and Efialtes, however, it must have appeared rather strange. They'd never been in the car with either of the teenagers.

Luke and Kat

As Luke stepped off of the monorail, he let loose a sigh of relief. Luckily, no one had recognized him, the most recent champion of the GFA, on his ride home. He made his way down the ramp of the monorail station and began to head down the nearby streets that eventually lead to his home. While he could have taken his own vehicle, Luke liked to take public transportation every once in a while. Luke approached his moderately sized brick house, and, upon entering through the front door, he found Kat sitting at the kitchen table, with a mysterious navy-colored envelope in her hands. She was wearing her silky brown hair down, like she normally did, a pair of blue jeans, an orange undershirt, and her trademark black jacket. She turned to look at Luke with her bright, blue eyes.

"What took you so long?" she asked, a bit in disbelief.

"I'm sorry," Luke responded, shrugging, "there were a lot of people in line at the monorail-"

"Wait, you took the monorail to go out? Are you crazy? Luke, you know how dangerous it is right now, especially for you, of all people. Eight of the previous champions have alrea-"

It was Luke's turn to interrupt as he put his hands on Kat's shoulders and said, "Look, I'm alright. Now what about that letter you mentioned?"

"Oh, right." Kat fumbled for the envelope in her hands, and pulled out a dark blue sheet of paper that she handed to Luke.

Luke combed over the letter of couple times before running his hand through his dirty-blond hair.

"Do you know what this is?" Luke asked, glancing over at Kat, who just simply shook her head. "Well, I think it's an invitation."

"For what?"

"For the underground."

Efialtes just stared into the back of the passenger side seat, trying to keep his eye's off the road. He had only been watching for a few seconds before hand, and he swore they were on the wrong side of the road for every second he watched. The argument going on between Ashton and Misty, wasn't helping either. 'Maybe going over past failed strategies will help.'

Efialtes reached into his pocket, to pull out his black covered book. And then reached into his other pocket. Before reaching into his other pocket again. The look of horror on his face when he realized, he didn't have a single thing to distract himself. Much to his chagrin, he examined his current situation. His terror changed to utter dread, as he realized Misty wasn't even watching the road for the most part, she was staring at Ashton as she argued with him. 'Shoulda wrote my will. I should have written my will in that book.'

Yume Tsuki

The guy didn't plan on leaving. So Yume was about to stand up and leave. But he wasn't planning on letting her go so he grabbed her wrist. "Leaving already? Don't think so." "Let me go." She was tugging but he wouldn't let go. He stared at her bracelet for a moment and just grinned. Yume was afraid but starting to get angry at the same time. "I told you to let go." The guy looked Yume in her eyes and whispered with a cocky grin. "You're one of those aren't you. Looks like I got a good catch this time." The girl snapped, kicking him in the face making him let go of her. "chansey off. I'm not some kind of toy you own, and especially not for a random person." She said with the same monotone voice.

Ash and Misty
Misty turned left onto on the next intersection they came up to, glancing at Efialtes and Nexalas in the rear-view mirror. One was staring into space with a terrified look on his face, muttering something about a will, and the other was gripping the side of his seat tightly, face flushed. "Oh, man up you two. my driving's not that bad." She looked Ash for confirmation, and he glanced at the two in the backseats.

"Other than how you grinded the shift," he cast a mournful glance at the shift, as if apologizing to the inanimate object. "I'd say you did alright." Neither realized just how many times they'd broken the speed limit, or drifted onto the wrong side of the road. "Of course, I can't expect a very strong stomach from Nexalas. He is sort of weak. And has stomach probably still hurts from that last time we battled."

Misty snickered, and pulled, unbuckling her seat belt and stepping out of the car. "We're here."

"You can't seriously be thinking about this,"Kat said as she paced around the kitchen. "I mean, not only is astral fighting against the law, but this is underground astral fighting! Do you realize how dangerous this is?"

"Relax Kat," Luke replied coolly, "I'll be fine. I am the reigning champ, after all."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about," she responded quickly. "People are going to recognize you down there, and everyone's going to want a shot at the champion. This is insane! What if the cops show up?"

Luke bit his lip, Kat had a point. After all, all of these people gathering in the Industrial District, of all places, could attract a ton of unwanted attention. The lure of being able to battle was almost too much for Luke though, as after pondering for a little, he said, "Then I'll come up with something then. Come on, Kat, you know how much battling means to me. I can't just pass this up."

Everything was silent for a moment, but then Kat eventually spoke. "Fine," she said, "but I'm coming with you."

Nexalas

When the car stopped, Nexalas quickly got out of the car and glared at the other two, but didn't say anything. Then he sighed and walked inside the ice cream shop. As soon as he stepped in, though, he saw a girl kicking a guy in the face and telling him off. He raised an eyebrow and decided to listen in to see whats happening, all while walking towards the counter to avoid attention.

In the span of one second, there's already a fight and its not between me and Ash. This is an interesting change.

After the car had stopped, Efialtes could be seen leaping out of the car, and collapsing on the ground. 'OH HOW I MISSED YOU SWEET DEAR GROUND' He proceeded to stay on said ground, until he remembered why he even got in the car in the first place. He quickly got up, and went into the restaurant, buzzing past the slow moving Nexalas, and towards the somewhat line less counter,   staring the overhead menu as he walked towards the counter.

Ash and Misty
Ash laughed at Efialtes stunt, stepping onto the sidewalk. "I didn't think I was gonna die once, if it's any help." Misty started to smile, and then Ash continued. "I mean, you drive like a girl. That's bad, but girls don't get people killed in car crashes. Guys do, because we know how to live. We're not afraid to speed up for fun" Normally, the redhead would have gotten annoyed at the statement, and argued about it, but there was something behind it. He was trying to make a joke about death, trying to lighten the burden he'd been bearing for two weeks.

"Yeah, that might be true," Misty conceded, "I mean it is scientifically proven woman live longer than men on average." Then she walked into the parlor, leaving Ash to stare at the door, before quickly following. 'What was that about?' He wondered, catching up to her. She never got upse-'I'm so stupid!'

He grabbed her arm, his jacket riding up, revealing his bracelet. "Myst, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up, I know it's still sensitive for you..." He was talking about her parents, of course. They'd died in a car crash nearly eight years ago, but it still bothered her when she got near cars, and Ash joking about his driving getting him killed had opened the wound. She'd always warned him to be careful, never to drive when he was tired, or drunk. She couldn't handle another loss.

Dagen

Dagen noticed an oddly loud couple walk in. The woman was kind of cute, but the guy seemed a bit scrawny for her. He noticed his bracelet though, and said from his table. "Sucks about the tournament, huh? We can't have a good old fashioned fight because of the GFA." He made a small smile, and he needed some company.

Salvador

Sal was waiting patiently for the night. It's been a while since new recruits were accepted into the underground, and he enjoyed fresh meat. Being a lone wolf was hard, but newbies always made up for it with their ambition. They would know soon this wasn't a child's game.

Ash and Misty
Ash was quite for a moment when he heard the stranger talk, then he chuckled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Hehe, I wouldn't know. Never played in the GFA." Without waiting for a response, he turned to Misty and muttered something about grabbing food, and she should stay and talk to the guy since she was in the GFA. Then he hurried over to the counter to order.

Misty reached out her hands, wanting to chase after him, then sighed. She did suppose he needed some time alone. So, she continued the conversation the stranger, a man with odd silver hair wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans, had started. "I think it was a good reason. The past champions are dying, but the death of Daylin was a blow to the elders of the community. Do you have any idea what he did in his youth?" She slide into the booth he was sitting at, shooting Ash one last glance.

'I never really paid attention to that stuff. Never really interested me what the big times were doing outside the tourneys. All that mattered to me was beating them, now I will never have that chance." He ate the rest of his cone, but still felt a little hungry. Ice cream was not a very filling meal, especially a cheap cone that was finished in a couple bites.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny

Ash and Misty
"He saved the world. Daylin Hakima was part of the first illegal battle, and if he wouldn't have won, we wouldn't be sitting here today. An astral with extremely dark energy had corrupted its fighter, and was slowly breaking through o the real world. When the current champion, Stan Masters, attempted to stop him he lost. And then came Daylin and Garlock. No one really knows how they did it, because as soon as the battle was over Daylin collapsed, his body unable to handle the shock, according to doctors." Misty ranted, spewing everything she had learned from Daylin himself. If Dagen ever looked into it, he'd see she knew more than she should have, but she didn't care. "During those illegal battles he lost his brother, his friend, and many other fellow battlers. He was the survivor of a generation of battlers."

Misty paused her ranting as Ash waved at her from the line, and then pointed at Dagen. "He wants to know what you want to eat. He saw you had only had a small cone, and if he's buying us food he doesn't want us to eat in front of you." She paused, taking one last glance at him. "He also says don't worry about the money, he has more than enough."

Post by: Tickles on December 02, 2013, 02:49:45 AM

"That clears up a lot then. Never knew about any of that." He lazily stretched and yawned. "Oh, I'll have a butterscotch cone, thanks." He turned back to the girl. He seemed more interested in the conversation now. "So, any idea what happened to Stan Masters? Did he die like the others?" He was flexing a bit, not to be flirty, but to make sure the ice cream isn't affecting him too much. Yep, still lean and fit, just the way he likes to be.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 02, 2013, 03:06:55 AM

Ash and Misty
Misty nodded, mouthing to Ash to get the butterscotch cone. Then she turned back to the man. "Stan never confirmed or denied it, but it's rumored he lost his astral. Either way, he retired from battling. He became an astral researcher, and Daylin was crowned champion. He went undefeated for nearly twenty years, until, well, this." She teared up for a second, but quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand. "I never caught your name. Mine's Misty, and the boy I came in with is Ash."

At that moment Ash arrived at the table, precariously balancing two trays, one on each hand. He laid them down onto the table, and then slid in beside Misty. "Geez, a guy can't even introduce himself." He pulled two burgers from a bag, handing one to Misty and one to Dagen. "Sorry if I didn't get you what you wanted, I'm not as good at lip reading as Myst." With the apology out of the way, he passed him a large cup of Coca Cola and a container of fries. "If you don't want it, I can get you something else."

Misty, meanwhile, sighed. "Ash, I said Butterscotch cone, not burger and cola." Sometimes, he made the stupidest mistake.

Ash went red for a second, and went to stand up. "Sorry, I'm not good at it Myst! I don't have you weird lip reading super power!" He looked at Dagen. "Sorry, I'll go get you one if you want."

Soul

Walking aimlessly about town, Soul's mind was pinned to thoughts of the letter he had received. "It's obviously a big event. Astral fighting is illegal again, and all legal arenas are shut down. Whoever's orchestrating this entire operation was hurt by the shutdown, and they want it gone. So, with how big this seems, how possible is it for anyone who shouldn't know to find out about it?" He stopped at the corner of the sidewalk, and pressed the button to cross. A shiny sports car turned from the way he was headed, and pulled into a nearby ice cream shop, which seemed to be pretty buzzing.

His stomach growled, notifying him that even though he had skipped dinner at home, he still needed sustenance. "Not going into that ice cream place. Too many people. Not to mention that a brain freeze won't exactly help me think." He turned a bit further and looked past the parlor towards a place titled Wendy McKings. "Not exactly gourmet, but my stomach would rather turn in on itself than wait any longer." Soul crossed the street, and walked past the busy ice cream parlor. Inside was quite the assortment of people: a boy around his age with a nice looking hat; a younger boy with very messy hair; a third boy, also about his age, with long hair and a think jacket; a girl a bit older than him, with short red hair, sitting with a college aged guy with white hair; and a blonde girl, also a bit older than him, kicking a guy to the ground, ("As long as it's not my problem, it's not my business either.").

He continued to the burger shop, and got a cheeseburger with mustard. He stepped outside and leaned against the wall, unwrapping his dinner. What he found resembled something you would find at the end of a production line, with all the ingredients carelessly slapped together. "Well, what can you expect. Like I told myself, not exactly gourmet." As he took his first bite, he used his thoughts to distract himself from the taste. His eyes turned to the sync band that was looped around his left wrist, and he thought, "How could the entirety of Astral Battles have resulted in what it has today: everyone who's everyone has an Astral, and everyone who still wants in is a criminal for it. He crumpled his wrapper and threw it in the trashcan, then pulled out his phone. "Not time yet. Wish there was another way to pass the time than wait."

"it's not problem, really." He was pretty hungry, and that ice cream was the first thing he has eaten all day. He set the meal out in front of him. "Name's Dagen." He took a good bite from the burger. It tasted amazing, even if it was fast food. "Thanks pal, I mean, Ash. And thank you Misty." He took a second bite and came up with a question. "So, do you two battle? I've been meaning to give my astral a try. It's been hard to find battling partners though."

Ash and Misty
Ash was the first to respond, through a mouth full of hamburger. "I... I do, but I'm on break, I guess you could say." He seemed reluctant to talk about it, lowering the edge of his cap to shield his face, and looking away from Dagen. His mind would be too clouded to battle now, and he wasn't inhuman like other astrals, he was just smart. He was fast enough, and strong enough, but Link, in the end, was superhuman, not inhuman like most.

Misty glanced at Ash for a second, before turning towards Dagen. "It's nice to meet you Dagen. And yes, I do battle. I participated in last years GFA tournament." She didn't mention how she had ranked, or that she had been doing rather well before she randomly dropped out, nor did Ash mention that he was part of the underground circuit, and the leader of a gang. The man seemed nice enough, but they couldn't trust a complete stranger.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: Tickles on December 02, 2013, 04:34:07 AM

Dagen gulped down the last of the burger and finished his drink. "Well, I guess that means we have to battle then. But not here. That ban on fighting is making the police real tense, and I keep hearing rumors that people keep getting arrested for a harmless battle. When you guys finish, meet me in the back alley. Since you're on break, I challenge you, Misty. See you guys in a bit, don't leave me hanging." He left out the door, and went into the alley, and had a seat on the ground. No one would be able to see here, and he was out of the way of cameras. Just a quick fight was all he needed to gauge his skill.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes bought his ice cream and sat down in a booth, he hadn't gotten anything special, it was just a Vanilla ice cream in a cup. He hadn't gotten three spoons out of it, before a friend of his slid into the other side of the booth. Efialtes chuckled, a grin appearing on his face as he put his cup down, and slid it to the side. His voice had a cheery sound to that, as if he was greeting a good friend. "Hello! So, what are you doing here? You generally don't come here, I usually see you at the book store."

She nodded, before laughing a bit herself. "Was looking for you, wanted to ask if we were still going to be going over the current science project tonight. "

Efialtes tossed his head from side to side thinking, before nodding. "Yeah I think so, unless something important comes up." She started to get up before Efialtes stopped her, to ask a question. "Hey wait," His voice got a bit quieter, before continuing. "How have your battles been going?"

She sat back down, her voice seemingly getting quieter with each word, until finally hitting an all time low and staying there. "...I've won a single battle since joining."

Efialtes snickered, getting glared down before he let his comment out, and the glaring eye went away. "We have the same win streak!"

She shook her head before replying with a sly smile, her voice having a sense of glee to it. "That one Win was my last battle."

Efialtes slumped back in the booth before replying with a low grumbling noise, and uttering out a few words. "So you currently have a better win streak than I do. That's uh. That's fun." Their conversation seemed to continue on from there, not much of importance was really said as they spoke.

Ash and Misty
Ash continued to eat in silence, while Misty studied him, waiting for a reaction to what had just happened. It didn't take him long to chomp down the large burger, and slurp away the drink. He nearly inhaled his fries, then sat there, staring off into space.

"Ash? Are you going to say anything?" Misty finally broke the silence, hoping to get Ash to talk. He'd been avoiding battling since he'd talked to Stan, though what about she had no idea. It was as if he was scared of it. He'd even convinced her to avoid battling. Sure, it was illegal, but that had never stopped him from competing in the circuit. Something else was bothering him.

"You're not battling him."  It wasn't a suggestion, it was a demand. Ash refused to let her battle. "I'm not going to let you." He didn't even look at her, didn't acknowledge the fire in her eyes, or the way her jaw squared when she was mad. He also didn't acknowledge the hurt she felt, having her best friend try to control her, when she had given him all the space he could ask for.

He did, however, notice when he roughly hit the floor, and Misty stepped over him. "You can't stop me, Ashy-boy. I'm your elder, and you're NOT my parent." Then, she walked out the door, skirt swishing behind her for a split second before vanishing out the door with her, leaving the raven-haired trainer lying there on the ground. He didn't move for quite some time, just staring at the ceiling.

(Just say Misty got to the alley.)

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: Tickles on December 02, 2013, 06:33:03 AM

Dagen
Dagen looked up at Misty as she entered the alley. Something seemed kind of off, but it wasn't any of his business. Right now, it was time to battle. "Well, here goes something" He pulled out his band. He remembered the day he got it. He had just received his last paycheck ever and used the money to buy the official band. It was an older model, and slightly worn since he always kept it inside his pocket. He placed it on his wrist, and examined it for a couple seconds. "Give me one sec, I haven't tried this out at all yet. Ah, here it is..." He pressed the button and a screen popped up. All he had was metropolis city. He was used to the darkworld, where his astral was from, but this one was official. "My very first battle. This is exciting." He selected the arena, but a message popped up saying all opponents need to agree. "Well, I guess you know what to do from here." He smiled, the excitement he felt was practically making him glow.

Sal

Sal was passing by his home. He had been out since early in the morning, and wanted some sleep, but he needed to go check on something first. A couple days ago, he seen a stray dog nearby, and left food out for it. He always had that soft spot for things that reminded him of himself. The plate was empty, which could be a good sign, but he didn't get his hopes up. "Must have dined and dashed. Typical." He went inside his home to nap a bit. Throughout the day, he had four battles, and only won two, one of them on the Escher Stairs, where his opponent collapsed in front of him. He shouldn't have fought afterward, but a fight is a fight, and he was well known for being a lone wolf and tough opponent. He sat cross legged and drifted off to sleep, his hardened body automatically staying where he sat, not even a muscle twitched. He would wake in a couple hours and hit the cinder blocks before checking out the newbies.

Misty
Misty nodded, and brushed a few charms aside from the bracelet, pressing a few buttons. It began to glow, projecting two holograms in front of her. She pressed another button, and the mark on her shoulder began to glow a vibrant blue through the black material of her dress. "Just confirm you're ready, and give it a second. It has to do something or other, your mark will begin to glow. We'll sync right after that." She explained, then locked her answer in. She was ready.

Ash
Ash eventually lifted himself off a ground, and walked out of the parlor. It wasn't like it had hurt, he'd had a lot worse, from Misty herself in fact. But it had stunned him. She'd never looked at him like that. For as long as he could remember, he'd hurt people who made her look like that. He'd always hated it when she looked like that, so sad, so upset, so... hurt. He never really knew why, he just did. And so he tried to stop it. and now he was causing it.

His stomach twisted in knots for reasons he couldn't understand, and he unconsciously rubbed his hand against it, walking towards the ally. He had to apologize, to fix this. He hadn't meant it, but... Battling had been the death of his Dad, and it was so scary to think that it could get her too. That it could get him. So he had stopped for the past few days, and had made her, too. He'd always thought she did it because she understood, she agreed, but now he questioned that.

"All right..." Dagen removed his shirt and showed off his mark. He locked in his answer, and some process was happening before his mark started glowing. He didn't get a chance to enjoy the feeling before he synced. He looked around the arena. It was a large city, with a lot of tall buildings around. He started on the roof of one of the buildings. It looked like it was a long way down if he fell, but he figured he could use his claws to slide down if he needed. "This is amazing. So overwhelming, yet so exciting. Time to rock." He took a fighting stance, making sure to keep the claws on his hands ready.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 02, 2013, 07:29:59 AM

Misty
Misty stared at him for a moment, wondering exactly why he was so eager to see his mark, and suddenly realized she was syncing right as she was spawned in the city.

Sub-Merged
The air reeked of garbage was the first thing Sub-Merged noticed as she zoomed above the the rows of buildings, merely a sleek blue blur. She raised her snout in the air, sorting through the different scents until she found a human one. It was mixed, oddly enough, with the scent of storm, but it was definitely human. And with her prey locked onto, she threw her head back and let loose and ear piercing howl, flying lower and hurtling towards the scent.

Ash
Ash quickly found the alley Dagen had been talking, making sure no one saw him before going into it. He saw that he was late, and the battle had already begun, so rolling back his sleeve, he synced to spectate. The arena was one he'd only been in once or twice, named Metrapliosion City or something like that, and was basically a large, deserted city.

He pretty easily made out Misty, Sub-Merged not blending in well at all. She was streaking above the rooftops,  tracing her enemies trail. 'Figures, I could never hide from her. OF course, the same thing goes for her approach, though. She's so easily spottable.' His thoughts on the battle however, soon cut roughly of when he saw the opponent. A claw trooper. He'd heard so many stories about them, and with all the murders recently...!

He started to begin to formulate a plan, but his vision was beginning to swim, and before long, he'd blacked out.

Post by: Tickles on December 02, 2013, 07:38:25 AM

Gix looked around, trying to figure out where his opponent was. He heard an ear piercing howl rip through the air. It came from below the building. Without a care in the world, he jumped off the side of the building, and slid down with his claw, coming to a stop halfway down. He spotted his foe coming in hot. He readied a counter strike, doing everything he could to think fast. When she got close enough, he jumped back and took swipe at her wings.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 02, 2013, 07:59:23 AM

Sub-Merged
Sub-Merged saw the strike coming a mile away, but her eyes lingered on the astral's face a second too long, and only her high speeds saved her. She spiraled, the claw only grazing her haunches and drawing a small bit of blood. She was fast to counter-attack though, ghost ice flowing out of her front right claw, and she swooped in and slashed at his chest.

Link
Link blocked the claw with his shield, shoving the human with claws away from him. They were endless, and he and his partner couldn't keep this up forever. already five of the troopers had fallen, only to be replaced by ten more. It was just a blur of metal, skin, and fur as Link and the blue winged-wolf fought them off. There was a gash of the Hyrulian's right eye, and a long, deep cut along his sword arm that hurt every time he parried a blow or leaped in an attack. He glanced over at the blue wolf.

The winged-creature was not doing much better. A chunk of flesh was missing from one of his legs, his wings were torn, and blood stained his snout. They couldn't keep going like this, but all they had to do was buy time. And buy time they did, back to back, dodging and blocking, weaving and slashing, snarling and snapping. But eventually, they reached their limit.

They'd been cornered, and Link was sluggish; unable to block the claw coming at him, which ripped right through his chest. A howl from his wolf partner told him he ad suffered something along the same fate, but regardless, as he faded away, he smiled. THe last thhing he heard was the shouting of the champion and sirens in the distance. Then everything was black.

Ash jerked back to reality, gasping for air and glancing around fervently. 'What was that...?' It took him a moment to realize where he was at. Still in the body of Link following the battle. But, what had just happened...

Dagen couldn't dodge the mid air attack, and felt the hit. It burned so much. "How can ice burn?!" He regained where he was, and latched onto the opposite building. He took a good amount of damage, but was ok. He checked the contact area. No mark, not even a scratch. But he still felt the burn linger a bit. "Ok, new plan. Tornado Claw!" He jumped off and spun at high speeds towards his target.

Soul

Still sitting outside, waiting for sunset, Soul could hear the ice cream parlor door open, and the white haired college man walked out. He walked to the alley between the two shops, and Soul could hear his footsteps stop about halfway. A minute later, the girl with the short red hair followed him, seeming a bit peeved. There was a bit of talking, then both went silent. "A battle, huh. Let's see what kind of fighters we've got locally."

Soul pressed a button on his Slim Model GFA-Approved Sync Band, pressed 'Spectate' on the pop-up menu, and closed his eyes. The first thing he saw was one of the old claw troopers, the regulators of Astral Battles in the past. The second entity appeared to be a sort of flying water dog. "Both very quick, and intense. I'll have to remember that if I ever face either of these two." After a minute or so, Soul could feel the presence of another spectator, but their presence faltered for a moment before restrengthening.

Yume Tsuki & Nilakanta

Yume turned around, about to leve the store after she had kicked the guy in the face. "Jeez, talk about anger management... Hope I never make you mad, even though... We won't make physical contact." 'That voice again?' She looked around. Saw some people who just had entered staring at her. A quick glance she could just make up bracelets. She caught more attention than she preferred and quickly left the store shoving her bracelet underneath her glove. She went around the corner and finished her ice cream. "poop..." "It's not like him knowing you have a bracelet let's him know who your astral is." Yume looked up again and around. "Still not much of a talker, eh? Oh well at least you understood me this time. I am Nilakanta, your astral." "You mean like, an avatar for the game I just joined?" "Not precisely what you can call it after the incidents. I'm just impressed you got a hold of it. Which means the battle might still be going on." "So this wasn't a joke after all..." Yume looked around aware that it might look weird for her to talk to something non-existent but nobody seemed to notice. Perhaps they thought she was talking on a hands-free phone.

Sub-Merged
 Sub-Merged beat her wings rapidly, ghost ice gathering at the tips of her claws as she hurtled towards the attacking enemy. She had no hope of overpowering him, there was a chink in his defense; his kick off had been slightly slanted, one arm spinning faster and stronger than the other causing a slight tilt in balance. And that was all the wolf needed. She braced herself, diving in between his arms as they rotated. The claw of his right hand torn into her side, but she had been ready, and kept diving forward, claws coming down in an 'X' across his chest.

Nexalas quickly ordered his ice cream cone, using Ashton's twenty and a coupon to get two cones. He put the change in his pocket and sat down at a table not too far off from where Efi was. He then started biting off chunks of his ice cream until he noticed a sharp pain in his head. At first, he thought he was eating too fast, but then he heard a voice as if it was right next to him, but off in a distance all at once.
W..n a.. ..u g.... to ...tl. A....n?... I.. .i.. o. ..m.
He looked around, then noticed what seemed like a crystal next to his seat. He tilted his head, and then brought out his phone to avoid looking like hes insane as he was about to do something crazy: talking to a crystal he found next to his seat.
Your coming in kinda fuzzy, try video 2.
He then heard a chuckle as a figure appeared next to him, but no one else could see it except Nexalas. He knew this as when he appeared the first time, Ashton and the others couldn't see him.
Explain why your not trying to rematch Ashton. I'm growing tired of his meaningless bragging over his lucky win and your failure.
I told you before and I'm telling you again, he wont be willing to fight. If hes not at 100% we wont prove anything, he'll probably blame it on being distracted.
You talk as if he's your friend. Have you finally come out of the closet for him?
Funny. Now go away, he needs time and I need sweets.
I can only wait for so long.
The figure then disappeared, as if he never existed. The crystal was still 'there', but at this point it has faded into a small shard. Nexalas then put away his phone and continued to eat his ice cream.

At the Ice Cream Parlor

The bright red and blue lights flashed through the windows of the ice cream shop as the sound of a siren suddenly grew louder. Within no time, a police car had been parked in the parlor's parking lot. The lights and sirens were shut off as two police officers could be seen climbing out of the car. One of them waited right outside of the shop's door while the other walked in, the gentle chime of the bell attached to the door almost seeming out of place at this very moment. The cop, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, scratched his thin beard before placing his hands on his thick belt. He nodded at the clerk as he began to speak,"Now, the shopkeeper here has called us, claiming that he has overheard the talk of an astral battle. Now, we're only here for everyone's safety, but before I take any action, I'm going to have to ask all of you without one of those sync bands to either leave or just wait outside the door." He then made eye contact with the clerk, who was still standing behind the counter. "That includes you as well."

"But, this is my shop," the clerk protested, "if a crime was committed here, then I feel that I should be present, you know- to wit-"

The cop just waved him off. "Look, I realize that this could look bad on your business, sir," he cut in, "but I have a protocol to follow." The shopkeeper grumbled, but proceeded to make his way out of the door, along with a few of the customers. Once the door had shut, the police officer gave a slight smile. "Now, most of you are underground fighters, right?"


In the Street, @Yume

A rather generic looking man, who wore a plain white t-shirt and olive green cargo pants, caught sight of Yume as she walked by, seemingly talking to herself. He of course didn't know the girl's name, but he studied her for a moment, as he felt that he had seen her somewhere before. Then, suddenly, it hit him like a brick.

"M'am!" he called out to her. Not waiting to see if she actually noticed, the man ran over to Yume and reached out for her upper arm, in both an attempt to ensure he got her attention and to prevent her from running away. "I know who you are," he said in a hushed voice, "you're in the underground."

Dagen was hit pretty hard, and was knocked back into a building. He attempted to grab on, but the impact caused him to bounce ever so slightly, forcing him to fall for a while. He kept swinging, hoping to catch on somewhere, but each tap produced a shower of sparks. Before he knew it, he hit the ground, and DS'd. When he awoke from the battle, the orb was gone, and a number popped up on his screen: 0/1. His first loss. "I lost?" He look devastated for a bit, but then jumped up and let out a celebratory shout. "I LOST! I can't believe it, my first loss, and it was my first battle. " He laughed a little, and even danced a bit. Even though he lost, he got to experience what a battle felt like. He just had to keep at it. He kept on dancing.

Midou

Midou was sitting in an alley admiring a barrel fire he had started. He was approached by one of his partners from the underground. He seemed sllightly out of breath as if he'd been searching for some time.

Hey Midou have you heard. There's talk that thier gathering up a bunch of new fighters for some underground battles tonight.

Midou never stopped looking at the fire while he talked. Though hearing of new fighters did peak his intrest. He hadn't made much during his last fights and with new opponents and some well placed bet he might be able to make a surplus.

So is the usual crowd gonna be there?
I'd imagine so.
With that Midou stood up, leaving the alley with his associate discussing matter for what to do at this underground meeting.

Efialtes was quaking in his seat, he had been there for what, a year maybe? And very, very little had gone wrong, especially nothing like this. "OkaycalmdownitsalrightnothingisgonnagowrongisweareverythingisOHFORGOODNESSSAKESWE'REALLGONNADIE" He had at this point brought his legs up to his chest in the fetal position, not quite rocking back in fourth in fear.

Lai wasn't doing much better. This was like, her second week here? and there was already trouble. She had by now climbed under the table and sat there with her hands over her face. Thoughts flashed through her mind, more thoughts than she could count, or comprehend.

Nexalas

He looked around the room without turning his head, looking for any alternate exits, but as it turned out there were none. He had an idea, but it may not work.

Well I'm not. Haven't battled since the GFA closed down, and even then I haven't battled that much.

He then looked at the officer with a straight face.

I don't even have a synch band, so may I leave?

It was true that he didn't have one, he left it at the base thinking he wouldn't need it until tonight. In his mind, he bit his lip, hopefully his poker face will work.

At the Ice Cream Parlor

The police officer allowed himself a slight smirk. "Relax," he chuckled, "I'm not really here to arrest any of you." He continued speaking, ignoring Nexalas. "My partner and I are both in the underground ourselves." He made a quick motion towards the policeman standing outside the door. "I was sent here to inform you all on tonight's event. At sundown, if you wish to participate, the underground will be meeting again, for the first time in two weeks, at the abandoned Automate Factory in the Industrial District. We expect to have several...guests there tonight."

Luke and Kat

"You can't be serious," Luke said, rubbing his forehead in annoyance.

"Of course I am," Kat argued. "You think I'd just let you wander off on your own?"

"Kinda," Luke replied, "you're not my mom, you don't have to be with me all the time."

"Luke, I'm going with you," Kat stated firmly.

"No, you aren't," Luke snapped back.

Kat sighed, "We both know this isn't going anywhere. You can't stop me from going."

Luke passed his hand on this back of his neck a bit uneasily. "Why? It's dangerous."

"More so for you than for me. You're the one with the astral. I don't see myself getting into any sort of fight or anything like that, but the second you run into trouble, who's going to pull you out if I'm not there?"

Luke was about to protest, but stopped himself before actually saying anything. He wasn't going to win. "Fine, you win. I'm going take a nap." Luke headed down the hallway that was directly connected to the kitchen, passing up the living room and opting for his own bed, in his own room. The walls in his room were painted a blue-gray, the rough carpet a dark white. He kicked off his shoes and climbed into his bed, the sheets a dark blue color. He wanted to get a decent amount of rest for tonight, as he hadn't battled in a couple of weeks. Sure enough, it wasn't long before he drifted off to sleep.

Ash and Misty
"Misty!" Ash crushed her in a hug, knocking her off balance, but he was rooted to the ground and his arms kept her up. He buried his face in her hair, chest heaving. He wasn't crying now; he was at a point behind tears. His voice was shaky, and even though his grip was firm around her waist, his arms trembled. "You're alright! I thought... I thought that..." He couldn't finish the sentence, and instead tightened his grip around her waist to let her know what he meant.

"I'm not going anywhere, Ash." Misty hugged him back, feeling rather warm in his embrace. A breeze had picked up as the sun started to lower, and her dress wasn't all that warm, so the extra heat was welcome. "Don't worry, he didn't have the orb that the Troopers used to make the battles real..." She tried to reassure him, but she could tell from the look on his face as he stepped back he wasn't going to let it go.

"Dagen, if that's your name, I'm gonna kill you." The venom in his voice startled Misty, but it was to be expected. He'd grown up seeing his Dad talk about them with such a pained expression, he knew they'd killed his uncle, and now, according to him, they'd tried to get her. She did however, gasp, when Ash slammed Dagen into the wall, pinning him there by his throat. "You assholes... you don't even deserve to still exist!" He swung a punch at Dagen, releasing his throat.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes wasn't too quick to ease up, he more just had a confused look on his face.'Where did they get the car? Where did they get the uniforms? Was the shop keeper in on it too? I just. I can't.' He slowly turned and looked at the police officer, his legs hitting the floor as he got up, and walked towards him, he began to do something that was odd for him. He asked questions. "Okay, first off. Okay really, the only important question I have even, why would you do this even? Why would you just storm up, to tell, MAYBE five people about a event, and risk getting caught? I'm the local idiot around here, and that seems like a bad idea even to me."

Lai had very slowly pulled herself out from under the table, she very quietly sat back down in the booth, she was more processing what had just gone on, as this all seemed like some sort of cruel joke. 'I honestly hope this isn't a normal thing in the underground, I don't think I can take this going on constantly. She seemed to not notice Efialtes' outburst, as she thought about these things.

At the Ice Cream Parlor

The officer smiled at the boy, whose head reminded him strangely of a pear.

"Why would I do this?" he asked rhetorically, still smiling. "The shopkeeper called the police, and lucky for you, I was the one that was dispatched to handle this situation. Plus, my gang was charged with spreading the info on tonight's location, and who would deny the boss? Well, whoever the boss is, I don't want to upset him...or, her? Anyway, he's given us a chance to battle as we we should, so is I don't think that there should be a problem, eh?"

Soul

The battle ended, with the claw trooper losing, surprisingly. Soul opened his eyes to see a police car parked outside the ice cream shop. One of the officers was inside talking to a few people who remained, and the other officer was outside. He could hear a bit of scuffling coming from the alley, and remembered the battle. He quickly turned and found himself facing the raven haired boy pinning the white haired boy to the wall, about to throw a punch.

Not caring about what was going on, Soul took a few extra steps towards them, as to stay out of vision of the officer that was outside. "Hey, whatever happened, save it for later." Soul raised his left wrist and flashed his Sync Band, then pulled his sleeve over it. "Feds arrived, got wind of something. Don't want to get arrested, do we?" He looked behind him for a second to make sure the officer still wasn't looking. "Act like you're not doing anything suspicious." He walked back out of the alley to check the sun one last time.

Efialtes bit his lip, he started to think. 'So it wasn't planned, we just got lucky. We need to be more discreet about talking about these things, I also need t- His thoughts seemed to be cut off as someone grabbed him, and tugged him away, back to his booth. It was Lai, she had seemed to eventually noticed, and was now fairly...Unhappy with him. "Efi, no. Even if he is with the underground, and we did get lucky. He could change his mind and arrest us."

Efialtes opened his mouth, as if to say something, but he ended up just closing it, and looking back at the officer. "...I would say I'm sorry for my outburst, but... I'm not. It was a question that needed to be asked." His voice had a certain tone of seriousness to it, something it normally didn't have. It was something that if you knew him, just didn't sound right. He had then sat down, just... Thinking.

Dagen barely dodged, the fist clipping the side of his face. He brought up his knee to Ash's gut, sending him back a bit. "Hey buddy, what the hell is your problem? I lost, that's no reason to attack me. Just calm down." He kept his guard up. He didn't know why ash just attacked him. Five minutes ago, the guy fed him.

Ash and Misty
Ash stumbled slightly back, but regained his composure. "Bullpoop. You know what I'm doing this for!" He snarled, grief suddenly gone. "You killed all of them. All of those poor battlers, they didn't know it was different from a battle until they Desynced and they were dead, did they?" He lunged at Dagen, grabbing for his arm in an attempt to slam him into the ground.

"Ash..." Misty heard the voice fo someone else, slightly younger than them from the sound of it, but she took no notice. She was too preoccupied with watching Ash. She didn't want him to kill anyone, and she would have said he didn't have it in him, but the look in his eyes... He hadn't looked normal, his brown eyes had seemed icy blue for a second, and his hair had flashed a platinum blonde. She wasn't sure he was thinking with his own mindset after that,

Dagen felt the push, and was going down, but he grabbed onto Ash and made sure he came with. While they were on the ground, Dagen punched Ash dead in the nose with his left hand. "You better back off! I'll do way more than that!" Dagen was furious. This is not what he expected when he got his astral. He thought h would make some friends, have a good time, make some cash, and make a name for himself. Now he had to fight off Ash-hole.

Soul

Turning back to the alleyway, the raven haired boy and the white haired guy were now on the ground, both a little bloodied. They didn't seem to want to stop, but Soul had no intention of butting in to hold one or the other back. "Then again, the police..." It was obvious these three were underground fighters, and if they were caught...

But, the officers didn't seem to have taken arrested in the ice cream parlor. Addressing the red haired girl, "Hey, ponytail. What's the story? Why's hothead marking up the claw trooper guy?" He looked at the two again, still on the ground. "Hey, hat-head. Didn't you hear the guy? His first battle was just now, and he LOST. Step off and give the guy some air."

Ash and Misty
Ash winced slightly, but he'd had his nose broken a few years back, and it was nothing on that. He brought his elbow up, slamming Dagen hard in the chin. He used the stunned second to flip Dagen over, blood dripping from his nose, and grabbed the older man's collar, raising his head slightly and drawing back a fist. "I swear to God I'll kill you, you damn Claw Trooper." He snarled out the threat, and jerked on the man's collar.

Misty gasped at his behavior, catching his eye for a split second. They weren't their rich chocolate color, they seemed cold and icy again. "Ash..." She whispered, too stunned to do anything to interrupt the fight. She felt it was wrong to let Ash hurt him, but at the same time... He was a Claw Trooper.  They'd murdered people in cold blood, they'd been so ruthless. Yet this guy seemed so nice...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the boy beside her. She didn't speak for a moment, just stared at him. "Don't stop them, let them get the tension out. I think Ash's gonna get a surprise once everything calms down, and they start talking."

Dagen got his wits back. "Step off!" He pushed up from the ground, knocking Ash off him, but the grip on the collar was too tight. He had enough room to let out a punch in the nose a second time, this time with his right. When he heard the term claw trooper, he got confused, and went kind of limp. "What's a claw trooper?" He took a few moments to ponder what that could possibly be.

Soul crossed his arms, closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall. "If you think so, then whatever. Though I thought that you would want to get your 'tension' out tonight, at the underground gathering." He opened his eyes again, now with an intense look in his pupils after recognizing the name 'Ash'. "Ashton. I know who you are, leader of an underground gang. He's probably getting everything out after the funeral of Daylin...

He motioned his head toward the girl, trying to get her attention. "So I know that's Ashton Hakima, but who are you and nose-breaker?"

Ash and Misty
Ash's eyes glazed over for a second when Dagen landed the blow, and slowly the blue tint faded, leaving only a confused pair of chocolate orbs. "What do you mean 'what's a claw trooper'? You are one!" The raven haired teen was confused, but he didn't unclench his fist, and din't move other than to wipe his sleeve at his nose. The blood stained the white and blue jacket, and several patches were brown and covered with dirt. He'd just bought the jacket, too!

Misty sighed, cheeks flushed red. "Ash, I've been thinking it for a while now. I don't really think he's acting. I honestly don't think he knows what the Claw Troopers were, or what they did..." She stared at him in silence, waiting for his reaction. He looked at Dagen, seeing the damage he had done. The shirtless man's lip was busted and bleeding, and his arms and chest were scratched up and bleeding in a few places.

Ash himself looked down, embarrassed, then got to his feet. "Do you really not know what a Claw Trooper is?" He wanted to believe his actions were justified, and he hadn't just beaten this guy up for nothing, but... His hand had already extended to help the man up, and guilt had already set it. Thinking about it now, it was obvious.

Having cleared up the moment with Ashton, and leaving him to work it out with Dagen, Misty turned towards Soul. "Don't you think it's rather rude of you to follow us when we clearly did not want to be followed, spectate a private battle, and then demand my name?" She fixed him with a glare, hands on her hips.

Dagen grabbed the hand, and he was hoisted up on his feet. "No, I don't. I mean, Gix has claws, but he's no trooper. He just saves the world he lives in. There is also a dragon for some reason." He laughed a little. 'Of course, this only happens when I dream." He looked over Ash. His nose was bleeding badly, and he felt bad for how things got. "We should get you cleaned up. For now, use my shirt to soak up some of the blood." He handed him his shirt, then turned to the random stranger. "Where the hell did he come from?"

Soul

Soul knew he shouldn't, but he needed a way to pass the time. He returned the glare and said in a lax yet threatening voice, "What's rude is winning a battle and then letting your friend beat the crap out of your opponent. When you have a battle like this, in the middle of an alley, it's not exactly private anymore. And if it makes you feel any better, I'm the VP of Sync-Tech Gaming, Soul. He didn't feel the need to hold his hand out. "What a quick temper."

When he turned to the two guys, now standing, he could see the guilt on Ash's face, and knew not to say anything more to him. He did, however, address the white haired man. "Around the corner, away from some cops. Like I said, an alley is a pretty public place." "Why does everyone feel the need to be rude to me, just trying to save their hides.

"Look, guy, or Soul, I don't care what you think. All I know is, I'm still a little tense from this ordeal, and you're starting to piss me off. In fact, I think I'm still a bit crazy." He motioned like he would drop this rich boy like a sack of potatoes. "Learn what's god for you, and get hell away. If it was none of your business, don't make it!"

Sal woke up. His contact was supposed to be here by now. He growled a bit, and started to meditate, trying to get in tune with his astral.

She opened her mouth to tell Dagen not to make anything of it, he was another snobby rich brat still wet behind the ears, but Ash cut her off. "Yeah, step off. You don't think it's rude to get rude with random strangers you chose to interact with? None of us invited you!" Oh brother....

"Look buddy, I'm not looking for a fight, I actually wanted to break yours up. What IS my business is that we're both Astral Fighters and I thought I could help you out by keeping you from being arrested." He could feel the heat behind his eyes, a small migraine starting to form. He knew his hands were clenched into fists simply because he couldn't feel them.

And then he let go. He knew it wouldn't end well for him, both guys would probably take him on at once. Maybe one at a time, but... It was obvious that he was unwanted. His eyes lost their glint, and his voice lost its tone. "Fine. But I'll be looking forward to a fight with all three of you."

"Bring it on!" Dagen flexed, even though it hurt to. This guy may be a bit annoying, but so long as he has an astral, Dagen wanted a chance to face him. He would have to wait on that though, his body ached, and he was still a little hyped up from the battle and the fight. He could feel a strong wind of change coming his way, and he was ready for it. His eyes glinted with happiness, and he was no longer angry.

Ash nodded at Dagen's statement, but he already expected the teenager to leave. "Uh... I realize your clothes are probably messed up, and we're about the same size... If you want to come with me and Myst we could get you some clothes from home..." He offered awkwardly, unsure of how to go about lightening the mood after the fight. "Oh, and Misty, take this." He handed her his jacket, wiping off the dust as much as he could. "Sorry for keeping you out here long enough for it to get this cold."

Misty took the jacket without question, sliding it on. It hung down to her thigh, and the sleeves were too long, but it was still warm and heated her up. "Thanks, Ash." She muttered, rolling up the sleeves. It smelled like him, a strange mix of apples and soap, but she was used to the smell. Over the last 6 years, it had become like home to her. The smell meant laughs and jokes were ahead, and arguments, all in good nature. "Really, thanks Ash."

The raven-haired teenager nodded, giving her a funny look. "Something wrong, Myst? You look a little red, and you had this funny look." Ash put his hand against her forehead, but she brushed him off. Good thing he was so dense, because she was not good at hiding things.

She shook her head, beating down the blush. "No, I'm fine."

At the Ice Cream Parlor

The cop gave another half-smile, saying, "Ah, don't worry about it. I admit, this wasn't the best idea we've had." He looked around at the others for a moment before speaking again. "Just try to be a bit more careful, eh? Next time someone calls the cops about an astral battle, it might not be me that gets to show up. Luck has to run out, eventually." Although he knew that none of them could tell, the officer was referring to his own luck, not that of those in the parlor. This was not just a coincidence, they did not just get lucky, he did.

Upon walking out of the parlor, the cop was immediately confronted by the shopkeeper. "Are they being arrested?" the clerk asked.

The officer shook his head. "No sir, there was just a misunderstanding. They were simply just talking about the fact that astral battles were banned, not organizing a fight. Your concern is not unwarranted, though, and please, if you do catch wind of anything else of this nature, just give us a call."

The shopkeeper grumbled to himself, but did not argue with the cop as he walked back into the parlor, a bit grumpy. The officer nodded to his partner, and they both got in the police car and left.

In the Street, @Yume

"Oh, no" the man shook his head, "I'm not here to get you or anything like that, if that's what you're worried about. I've seen you before, you have a sync band, but I know you're not GFA." He let go of her arm. "Look, I just received word that there's a big underground event going down tonight, at the Automate Factory in the Industrial District, but we can't show up until the sun sets. There's also supposedly going to be some special guests there or something, but I don't know who they are." He paused for a moment before continuing."Hate to run all of a sudden, but I was told to spread the word to every underground fighter I see. Try to come by tonight, ok?" Once again, the somewhat strange man didn't wait for a response from Yume, and he suddenly took off into the crowd of people on the street.

In the Street, @Midou

After the man left Yume, he continued he search for those that he recognized to be in the underground. On his walk, he overheard a deranged looking boy and his friend talking about the event, but they didn't seem to know much about it.

"Keep your voices down," he said as he approached the boys. He then informed them of all the details of the night's underground event before yet again running off.

At Salvador's House

A fairly weak, and almost mangy, looking man stood at the front door of the house that he was told belonged to Salvador, a brute of a man that he didn't particularly care to confront. He ran his hand through his thin, messy black hair. Of course, on the day that his gang was assigned with informing the entire underground of that night's event, he was one of the two in the group that was given off of work, which meant that he had to cover all of the people that it didn't make sense for the police to contact. It didn't help that he was physically the smallest in the gang, either, and so he had to contact all of the people that his "partner" didn't want to. He let out a heavy sigh, which resulted from both annoyance and reluctance, before pounding on the door with his fist.

Soul

Soul gave Dagen a sideways thumbs up, his own way of recognizing him as an opponent. He gave Misty and Ash a sideways glace and turned to walk away. As he left the alley, he saw the two cops leaving, and decided to get some ice cream after all. "I need to cool off, nerves like these aren't what help me win." He went in, bought a plain vanilla cone, and went back outside to eat it.

Yume Tsuki

'Huh...?' She looked around but she couldn't find the man anymore. 'That was weird.' She was wondering what that event was about. It had to do something with the bracelet and this game everybody keeps talking about. She could give it a try she wondered what this game was all about, but kept in mind to keep low profile, like she always did whenever some event was going on. She decided to go home first to pick up her coat, after all, it should be around the evening and she would scold herself for not taking it with her in the cold night.

Dagen

Dagen relaxed and took a good look at himself. He was a complete mess, and didn't particularly like it that way. "Thanks, Ash. You know, you're pretty cool. Not many people can beat the crap out of a guy and still maintain respect from them." He smiled at the both of them. "Let's get out of here before we attract too much attention." He started his walk.

(Blades, I give you permission to Gmod him to Ash's place.)

Salvador

Salvador snapped out of his state when he heard the pounding. He never liked being interrupted, especially to someone with the audacity to bang on his door. He ran up and opened it, grabbing the puny man by the collar and lifting him high in the air. He sneered at him, as if to say, "The hell do you want?"

Midou

While Midou and his associate walk talking about this sudden event started by the underground a mysterious lad showed up out of  seemingly nowhere and began to explain the event to them. Once he had finished he left before they could even get a word in.  Befuddled by the man the two kept walking till the reached a split in the roads.
Alright I'm going this way. After I go see one of the loan sharks downtown I'll meet you at the factory.
The two went down the different roads Midou getting on the monorail while the other made his way to the Automate factory.

Nexalas

He didn't say anything, and just finished his ice cream as the 'cop' explained, listening and eating at the same time. There's a tourney tonight, he knew, and this could be a good chance to let loose his astral's pent up anger and get him to shut up for a few days. After the cop left, Nexalas got up and threw away what little trash he had away. He then walked up to Efialties and his friend.
Well, that was quite the misunderstanding. I'm gonna wait outside while you talk to your... friend.~
He then looked around, raising an eyebrow.
Speaking of friends, where's Ash and Misty? I didn't see them leave.

Luke

Luke's eyes opened, but he could see nothing, save for the dense fog that surrounded him in all directions. He walked around, calling out for help, but not knowing why. As he moved forward, the fog moved around Luke, collecting in an area that was always ahead of him, no matter in which direction he walked. Eventually, all of the fog had collected in front of him, and he found himself to be in a giant, beautiful field, filled with lush green grass, beautiful bright flowers, and clean wispy clouds in a perfect blue sky. The mass of fog in front of him soon materialized into Phantom, the more physical form of his astral Shade. Phantom, which stood at at least twice his normal height, reached a massive hand down to Luke. Without a word ever having been said, Luke knew that his call for help had been answered. Right before he touched Phantom's hand, though, a giant , dark shape slammed down from the sky onto his astral, and with a muffled scream, Luke was thrown back as Phantom disappeared. As Luke lay on the ground, unable to move, the ground, and the world around him, began to disappear, a raging fire now destroying the once beautiful meadow. His eyes fixed upon the sky, Luke saw what had been responsible for the destruction of his astral. There, where the giant Phantom had been only moments ago, was now a large wooden totem, and behind it was a being so massive that he blotted out the sky. Luke's eyes stayed affixed to Garlock until, along with the rest of the world around him, the astral disappeared.

Luke was suddenly flying high above the sky on the back of Ghost, who was yet again twice his usual size. Luke had no idea what was below him, as all he could see were large, fluffy clouds beneath a warm, golden sunset. Luke felt as if nothing could touch him; he could stay here forever. All of his worries, fears, and sadness...they seemed so far away. He was shaken out of his fantasy by a loud explosion that seemed to rock the skies as a large ball ripped a hole in the clouds and blazed towards him. Luke held on tightly to his astral as Ghost was forced to swerve to avoid the giant cannonball. Soon, more of these cannonballs followed until they seemingly blocked out the sun. Ghost did everything in his power to avoid them, but the astral suddenly shattered as one of the cannonballs tore into his side, and Luke was sent plummeting downward. He soon felt his body hit the sea, and although he tried to swim up, he couldn't move. Before Luke even had time to fully panic, though, his body automatically righted itself, and Luke suddenly felt the need to put on the hood of his jacket, as he now stood on the top of a skyscraper, and the cold wind cut through him like a knife.

It was dark, out in the city, with none of the lights from any of the many surrounding building on. It was almost possibly one of the most breathtaking things that Luke had ever seen, save for one thing. Despite the darkness, Luke was able to clearly see the streets far below, which were littered with millions, if not billions of dead bodies. There were no words to describe the utter disgust and hate that Luke felt. He was then overcome by a sense of horror, as there, in the streets, on top of the pile of bodies, Luke could somehow clearly make out the faces of Kat, his mother, and his father. Luke's heart almost felt as if it stopped beating, and nothing other than impulse pushed him to jump off of the roof of the tower. As he fell, the building slanted under him and provided a surface for Luke to slide down. Once his feet hit the ground, Luke immediately ran over to his dead family, who not difficult to find, as they were the only bodies there now, with the rest of the streets being lined with a stream of blood. Luke knelt down in the blood next ti the three dead bodies, but he couldn't react. He simply didn't know how. As Luke looked up from the corpses, his eyes met with that of another person that was now standing directly across from him. These eyes were spectacular, a dark gray, almost black colored, decorated with flecks of gold. These eyes could only belong to one person: Logan Taylor. Luke looked at the man in pure horror. An adult form of his older brother stood directly across from him, holding a pistol that's barrel was still emitting tendrils of smoke.

(Blades can Gmod after this)

Dagen seen a cool looking sports car. "I wonder who this belongs too?" He liked the way it looked. The yellow on black reminded him of the movies he used to watch as a kid. The sleek design made him think of a cool summer day with the windows rolled down. Then, he remembered the day he got his license, how his dad spent literally months teaching him to drive, and the lessons his old man taught him. "Son, a man is only measured by the amount of work he does..." He smiled a bit, thinking one day, he will drive a car like that, and make his old man proud. Someday....

Ash and Misty
Ash grinned, walking up behind Dagen. "Pretty sweet, huh?" He glanced lovingly at the car. "It's my baby." Then, he reached into his pocket, pulling out a key-ring and jangling it."That's why I swear to God if you crash it I'll kill you." Then he tossed Dagen the keys, and the silver-haired man was too surprised to catch them. They hit him in the head, and clattered to the ground.

Misty laughed at Dagen's blank face, bending down to grab the keys and then holding them out for him to take. "Why do males love cars so much?" The question was rhetorical, she knew she'd get no answer. Dagen had finally snapped back to reality, and his eyes had gone as wide as saucers before he gingerly took the keys from her hands, marveling at them. Slowly, his gaze wandered from the keys to ash, and then back to the keys, and then to the car. "You sure...?" Ash nodded. "Go for it."

Dagen didn't ask twice, letting out something close to a child's scream of excitement before dashing over to the car, and pulling the door open. The seats of the car were made of firm leather, and the cover of the steering wheel had been custom fitted with a soft black cover. A large pair of fuzzy black dice with neon blue marking hung from the rear-view mirror, and the driver seat floorboard had a rubber mat covering it. "Whoa..." Without another word he slid into the driver's seat, taking a moment to adjust it. Ash was roughly his height, so why the seat had been so close to the steering wheel was anyone's guess. Then, grinning like the Cheshire cat, he slid the key into the ignition and turned.

The engine roared like a lion as it came to life, before dimming to a rumbling purr. Dagen couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he reached for shift, hand closing around the leather wrapped ballpoint end, the other on the wheel. He was about to tell ash and Misty to hurry up and get in, when he realized they'd been inside the car for a while. Ash rode shotgun, feet kicked up on the dashboard, and Misty was in the left side of the back seat, muttering complaints at Ash for taking the front. "Where we going?" 

Ash paused, looking him over once, and then nodding. Yeah, he was pretty sure his clothes would fit Dagen. "My place. Hang a left up ahead, and then drive for a few miles." Then, he reached over to make sure his belt was buckled, and glanced back at Misty to make sure hers was, then added, "And don't be afraid to rush it." The raven-haired trainer was known for his speeding habits, much to Misty's dismay, and would be perfectly fine if Dagen took advantage of driving in a sports car.

Dagen's grin widened, and then, without warning, he pressed down the gas pedal, shifting the car into a different gear. The tires squealed and spun, and the car engine roared again.All most people saw was a yellow and black blur weaving in and out of traffic, to which they would shake their fist out the window at yell at them, muttering complaints about the loud engine. The silver-haired man remember his directions, and turned left, speeding down the straight section. "Where now?" Ash pointed right, then instructed, "Pull into the two story brick-house."

Dagen nodded,and when the house came up, he slowed down, shifting down a gear and pulling in. Ash reached over him, pressing a button on a small remote in the console. The garage door creaked, and slowly began to open. "Welcome to my house."  And during all of that, Misty clutched her seat like her life depended on it, muttering about moronic boys.

Dagen pulled into the Garage, and the three stepped out and walked into the house. The place was pretty big, and had a lot of fancy stuff around. Dagen could hardly believe where he was, he felt like he was dreaming. He did his best to hide his wonder, but his face always gave him away. "This place is amazing! You two must be great fighters to afford this." Dagen was used to shelters, so this place felt like a palace in comparison. The air inside was nice and comfortable, not too hot, not too cold. His expression changed though from wide eyed wonder, to sheer determination. "I will become strong, I will become the best. It's time to work hard, Dagen.

At Sal's House

"L-look, I uh- I don't want any trouble," the man stammered, his feet dangling above the ground. "I-i was just sent here by the underground. The event's tonight, starting at sunset. It takes place at the Automate Factory. There's going to be some special guests. There, see? No harm done."

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Late Afternoon|Sunny
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 04, 2013, 08:15:40 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash laughed at Dagen, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "It's not our house. It's my Dad'-I mean..." He cut off awkwardly, eyes glazing over slightly. He supposed it wasn't his Dad's house, not anymore. "It's, uh, my Mom's house. Dad was a pretty good battler, he made ends meet." Misty caught his eye, giving him a sympathetic gaze, but he shook his head. "Anyways, let me find my Mom and tell her what's up, go ahead and take him to my room." Misty nodded and lead Dagen up the stairs, and Ash set off towards the kitchen.

"Mom, you here?" She usually baked when she was upset, and he expected to find the refrigerator full and the counters covered. And he found exactly that. The granite counters were covered with dishes, filled with brownies and cake and other miscellaneous foods. His Mom was bent over by the open stove, poking something with a fork. A second later she put the fork down, and grabbing her mitten, she pulled the pan out and laid it on the counter to cool. Her auburn hair was in disarray, and her eyes were puffy and red from crying. There were deep worry lines on her forehead, which Ash noted quietly hadn't been there a few weeks ago, and her clothes were plastered with cake bake and flour. "Hey Mom, how are you?" He spoke softly, guilt eating at him. he shouldn't have left her here on her own, she had just lost her husband. She'd known him for twenty-three years, longer than Ash had been alive, and was probably going through a lot more pain.

"Hey Ash, I thought I heard someone in the garage!" His mother tried to sound cheery, but her voice broke slightly and gave her away. She was trying to be strong for her kids, but she couldn't. Whoever Red had gotten the talent to hide everything he felt and thought from, it wasn't her. Much like Ash, she wore her emotions on her sleeve. "I'm sorry, give me a minute.." She wiped at her eyes, trying to brush away the tears, but Ash wrapped her in a hug. He could remember all the times when he was little she would hug him and he would have to look up at her, but now he was taller by nearly eight inches, and she had to look up at him. "It's alright, Mom. You don't have to be strong for me, I know you miss Dad more than I do. You knew him a lot longer." The auburn haired woman hugged Ash back, wrapping her arms around him so tightly it hurt, but he didn't complain.

His mom cried than, the dam that had held her tears back shattering forcefully. They were like that for several minutes, Ash letting his Mom cry into his shoulder and sitting there awkwardly. He wished Misty was here, she was better at this emotion thing than him. He could barely deal with his own grief, much less help his Mom through hers, but he would try. Because his Mom deserved it, she'd done nothing to deserve losing her best friend, her husband. She'd raised two children successfully, hell, she'd been able to fix the great emotionless Red with a look that made him feel guilty enough to clean his room without complaint. How many people would laugh if they knew that about the all-powerful Underground lord, that he'd not always been the stone-cold leader who hadn't even attended his own Dad's funeral? The thought comforted Ash slightly, and he was able to hold back his own grief, letting his mother release all of hers. Misty had done it for him, and it was time he returned the favor.

"Ash what's taking so long?" Misty rounded the corner, and instantly went quiet. She had changed out of the dress, now wearing a green t-shirt, a matching mint green jacket, black jeans, and her red and white sneakers. His jacket was slung over her shoulder, still covered in dirt, and she had a bottle of Aspirin in her left hand. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt... I was just telling ash I was gonna wash his jacket, and bring him some aspirin for his nose..." She trailed off, unsure how to continue. She really hadn't meant to interrupt, she didn't expect to find Mrs. Hakima crying, but she supposed her husband had just had his funeral. She'd just never seen anything of anger or any emotion other than happiness out of her beyond the irritated glares she would give Daylin or Ash when they smarted off.

For the first time since he'd walked in, his Mom noticed Ash's bloody nose, and instantly went into worried mother mode. "What happened, Ash? Did someone attack you? Oh did you call the police? Ash please don't risk anything, I couldn't handle losing you. Let me clean that up. Misty, get an ice pack please!" His Mom bustled off to grab a rag, and Misty stood shocked for a moment at how fast a worry for a child could change a mother's thoughts, before she trotted over to the freezer. "You want the little Garlock-covered one, Hakima?" Misty grinned, removing an ice pack covered with little chibi versions of his father's astral. He smiled, and nodded, caught it when she tossed it, then pressed it to his nose with a relived sigh.

"Told Dagen about tonight's competition, he said he's in. I told him he could crash here until tonight, and we'd give him a ride." Misty whispered to Ash, careful to make sure his Mom wouldn't hear, and then walked back upstairs to make sure he'd been able to find some clothes that fit him. With her gone, there was nothing left to distract him and he turned back to his mother, who had walked up with a first aid kit and a wet rag, demanding her sit down so she could clean him up. He protested, saying he was fine, but his Mom would hear none of it. Somethings never changed.

Dagen

Dagen checked out the clothes he was borrowing. They looked just like his old ones, but were a lot cleaner. His other pair was dirty and bloody, and he set them aside to wash. "Club soda will get that right out... eventually." He thought about what Misty told him. To think there was an entire underground ring of fighters this whole time. He would have started battling years ago if it meant being there. "I bet only the strongest fighters attend those events. Well, time for a quick nap then." He found a nice chair inside Ash's room, and began to snooze. He became Gix in his dreams, and he watched as his astral was fighting off a large number of Spikers, Spiders with spikes all over their body. He moved with no hesitation, slashing in elaborate patterns, each foe falling in a bloody mess. A smile could be seen on Dagen's face. He always enjoyed watching his astral in his world, and he always got ideas for new fighting styles as he watched.

Salvador

Sal nodded at the puny man, but was still angry. He tossed the man aside with a large amount of force, and went back into his apartment to prepare. He would need a coupe of things before he met with them again. He packed his weighted training gear, and some water in case the meeting dragged on. He also stored away his knife, for those that were sore for the beat downs they received. All he cared about was a rematch against the triad. If he could top them, he would prove to be the greatest fighter of all time.

Yume Tsuki

Yume opened the door to her apartment, she lived alone it was the only place she could truly be herself. She closed the door, looking around in the quiet room. "Looks like I got some time left before the evening..."

"One... and a two and a three... ?"
She opened a cupboard taking a cookie out of its package.

"I'll take one cookie. Because it's delicious as f***. ?"
She sang and opened a closet to take out a glass.

"Walking made me a little bit thirsty. So a glass of juice will do... ?"

"What the hell are you singing?" The voice in her mind said amused.
"OH SHIZ" Yume stopped singing abruptly when she heard the voice, who just started laughing. ”That’s not funny…” ”Sorry… Just those lyrics… Hehehe… I almost thought I was stuck with some serious person who doesn’t like fun. But apparently I can’t just rate this book by its cover.” ”I somehow feel robbed of my privacy now… How much do you actually see?” ”Well, I can only hear you. I got a special installation for that in my ship. That’s as far as my technology goes. Though I’m pretty curious what you look like.” ”Ship…? Are you on the ocean or something?” ”Oh no, I’m in space. I explore the universe. If I knew where you lived I would’ve flown there instantly, but I’m not even sure if we live in the same dimension.” ”Wow… I wish I could travel like that. Space seems beautiful.” ”Sure is, though it’s quite lonely alone. But luckily I have someone to talk to now. Pleased to meet you Yume.” It made Yume smile. Which was rare for her. ”Same here…” She took a sip of her drink while sitting down on the couch.

Luke and Kat

Luke's eyes flew open as he snapped awake from his nightmare, drenched in sweat. Luke threw the covers off of himself as he tried to sit up in the bed, but he suddenly became dizzy as the world spun around him, and he instantly felt like he needed to throw up. His heart was racing, and it felt as if it were about to rip a hole straight through his chest. Another wave of burning heat overcame Luke's body, but he tried to gather his senses as best as he could. He tried to take a deep breath, but then suddenly felt like he had no air. Luke could do nothing but scream as he seemingly suffocated and the physical world shut down around him.

In a dizzying blur, Luke could see the door to his room being thrown open as Kat ran in, screaming his name. Her voice seemed distant and far away, as if it were just a sound somewhere in the back of his mind. Kat bent down near the bed in an attempt to comfort Luke, but he instinctively pulled away from her as the hotness once again flashed through his body. When the heat had subsided, Luke tried to call out to Kat, to ask her a question, but it just came out as a series of gasps. Amidst all of his bodily complications, frustration began to quickly rise through Luke as tried, and failed, to once again speak to Kat. Desperation also overcame Luke, as he needed to know that this, right here and now, was reality. He had to speak to Kat; he had to confirm that she was indeed alive. She had been speaking to him this entire time, presumably trying to calm him down, but it didn't seem all that real to Luke, her voice still sounding muffled and far away. Despite Kat being right next to him, Luke felt nothing but loneliness.

Then suddenly,  but ever so subtly, a purplish glow shone through the right sleeve of Luke's shirt for a short moment, and his body filled with a warmth that was much unlike the heat of those hot flashes from just before in that it presented a feeling of comfort and  calmness. Luke nearly forgot about his symptoms, at least on such a large and prevalent scale, as his vision cleared a little and the room darkened slightly. Then, as if on cue, as if it understood him and what he was going through, Luke's astral, Ghost, stood at the foot of his bed, looking to be almost transparent.

"It is ok," a somewhat futuristic, highly intelligent voice sounded in Luke's head. "The world you are in right now is real, not the one that you were in just a short while ago. Do not worry, Kat is alive." After that simple statement, Ghost disappeared, and Luke's mind returned to the real world, only now the symptoms of his panic attack were completely gone.

Kat looked at him worriedly. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah," Luke replied, nodding his head, "just one of those anxiety attacks." He opted not to tell her about the nightmare that had triggered the attack.

"It's just...I get so worried when you have those attacks. I can't ever stop them, and...you're the only person, friend or family, that I really have left," Kat stammered.

"I know," Luke replied a bit uneasily, feeling almost a little awkward sitting at the far edge of the bed. "Trust me, I wish one of us knew how to stop them from happening, but we don't have a choice but to just sit and wait it out."

"Yeah..."Kat trailed off before saying much. "Hey," she spoke up again after a short moment of silence, "why'd the attack stop so soon? They normally last a lot longer than that."

"I don't know," Luke simply shrugged. He figured that he would tell her about his seeing Ghost eventually, but now wasn't the best time, for he wasn't even sure what to make of it himself. He had never physically seen or spoken his astral like that before; it was the first time anything like that had ever happened to him. He decided to shake it off for the time being, as there was nothing he could do about it right now.

Luke figured that it must be getting fairly close to sunset, so he decided to head to the bathroom to freshen up a bit before heading out into the Industrial District. His short hair was a mess, and he still felt coated with sweat.He figured that while it was no formal dinner or anything of that nature, it was still best that he didn't show up disgusting.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes just sat there, thinking. Lai was more attempting to figure out why Efialtes, of all people, had not only asked questions, but was now...Thinking. He never really thought about things, he would normally just charge in, or keep talking. Something was honestly off. Efialtes, seemed to snap back to reality when Nexalas spoke to him, Lai hadn't really tried to talk to him. His voice had his old, 'aloof and not really paying attention' tone to it. He seemed to ignore Nexalas' first statement. "No, I've not seen 'em."

On the other hand, unlike Efi,  Lai, WASN'T ignoring Nexalas' first statement. Her voice had a certain amount of... 'wat' in it. "W-w-w-wait what did your friend just say." Efialtes just sort of...Seemed to keep speaking as Lai asked a question. Her voice was a mixture of confusion, and partial Embarrassment. She had caught what Efi's other friend had say, but, she was hoping she had misheard.  "What did he say, what did he say, and again, I say, what did he say."

Efialtes looked over to her, before speaking. "He asked where Misty and Ash were, two of our friends."

She rolled her eye's, her tone sounding partially aggravated. "No, I meant before that."

Efialtes had a sort of confused look on his face, as if he hadn't heard the initial statement. "...But that's all he's said since the car ride, where he looked as if he would die."

He smiled, laughing in his head.
Oh nothing, I'll go look for them.
He then turned to go see if they were at the car, then noticed from the window that the sports car, which was parked close to the shop, was gone. He processed this for a moment, then took out his phone and texted something to Ashton.
I'm going to get back at you for ditching us Ash.
He then turned it off and looked to Efialties, A smile hiding his pure rage.
Looks like we're walking home. See you later~!
He then walked out of the shop without a word, likely to give Ash an ear full later.

Luke and Kat

"Ready? It's time to go, the sun'll be setting soon." Luke was waiting at the front door of his house, dressed in black jeans, a dark gold hoodie, a special pair of brown running shoes, and a brown beanie that had a large, single, horizontal khaki stripe running through the middle. The hoodie he was currently wearing was one of his favorites, as the bottom of it actually started out as black, but fizzled out into small dots as the hoodie transitioned to a dark, ever-so-slightly metallic gold.

"Yeah, sorry," Kat called out as she joined Luke in the kitchen. She was wearing the same outfit that she had on earlier.

"Look," Luke said, looking Kat in the eyes, "you know you don't have to come, right?"

"Yeah," Kat replied sarcastically, "and I also don't have to keep this event a secret from the cops."

"You wouldn't," responded Luke.

Kat shrugged, "As long as I'm there, we won't have to find out."

Luke just sighed before turning to walk out of the door, but before he even left the house, he turned back to Kat. "Hey, grab the invitation, I left it on the table, might be safer to bring it along, just in case." Kat nodded in response, turning back to get the letter, which she then handed to Luke. "Thanks," Luke told her as he stuffed the navy envelope into his jacket pocket. Upon walking out of the house, Kat locked the door.

"Wait," she stopped Luke, "mind telling me how you plan to get there? It's a bit far for us to walk the whole way, and it's also kind of chilly out here."

"Well, I don't intend on driving there, that's for sure," Luke replied. "Since the monorail is the closest form of public transportation from here, we'll just have to take it straight to the Industrial District." Kat agreed, as it seemed simple enough, and so the two both made their way to the monorail station, then climbing up the large ramp to wait for their train. They only had to wait about a minute or two before the monorail, this one a sleek white with a yellow stripe going down the side, arrived at the otherwise empty station. Luke at Kat stepped through the automatic doors into the clean, carpeted interior, and within a minute the doors closed behind them, with the inside of the monorail being as noticeably empty as the outside had been. As the train smoothly took off, the generic, recorded female voice played, providing the standard safety warnings and information, and then providing the train's current route: The Grand Arena (which it mentioned was currently closed), the GFA Museum, the park, and then finally, the Industrial District. Kat decided to take a seat, as they had about a thirty to forty-five minute ride ahead of them, but Luke grabbed onto one of the railings and remained standing, a bit too excited to sit down.

Automate Factory

The large doors to Automate Factory remained closed as preparations were still taking place inside, but it wouldn't be long until a few of the underground fighters started showing up, and things could get suspicious if a large crowd collected outside of the abandoned factory for too long.

Yume Tsuki

Yume stood in front of the factory, it was still closed. 'Perhaps I'm too early' she thought. She looked around the area, there were a few other people around. She decided to sit somewhere unnoticed keeping the hood of her black coat on. Her hair was tucked inside so it won't stick out.

Dagen

Dagen was still sleeping. His dream went from watching Gix, to a total nightmare. The darkworld was gone, and Dagen was out by the ocean. He was fishing out by the ocean when he got a bite. "Ah yeah, let's see what we got here." He pulled as hard as he could, but whatever it was wouldn't budge. He gave it an even harder tug, and a giant orange fish popped out of the water. It yelled KARP KARP KARP, and looked angry. From there, Gix showed up and tried to cut the thing, but the giant fish flooped around, and sent Gix flying far away. It then jumped up even higher and crashed down on Dagen. He woke up, and was breathing too hard to speak a word.

Dagen got out of the chair, and looked outside. The sun was beginning to set, and he knew Ash and Misty would be going soon. He made sure everything was in order, and waited where he was for his new pals.

Salvador

Sal was heading over to the factory. He decided to take the subway, since that would give him more of a chance to get there without conflict.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes could be seen nearing the factory, his hand trailing behind himself as he held onto someone else's hand, his pace picking up as the Factory came into view. Lai could be seen almost being dragged behind him, especially as his pace grew. Her voice had a hint of...Anger mixed with...Disappointment maybe. "Why didn't we just take the subway?"

Efialtes responded, his voice having his normal cheery sound to it, as if he was partially ignoring her tone. "Because its cheaper!"

She sighed, flailing a bit as they went. "I would have payed!"


Efialtes responded, nearing the factory ever so quickly as he talked. "But that would have made me feel bad! And besides, Walking is good for us, isn't it? I mean, you walked to the ice cream place, didn't you?"

Lai shook her head, they had finally arrived, not many people were there yet. "I walked from the bookstore! Though, considering the fact that we started walking a few hours ago, I'm suddenly glad I told my family to go home, and that I'd get home at a timely man-Wait, wait wait, How long is this going to go on for? Pretty sure our curfews will interfere."

Efialtes spoke, a sort of deflated tone in his voice. "We're in a illegal underground fighting...thing. And you're worried about curfews?"

Lai's voice had a sort of defensive tone mixed with that of a joking tone. "You don't have to live with the police, parents you do."

The two continued to bicker about...Just about everything, right in front of the Factory. At least they got there, right? I mean, it only took them at least three wrong directions and four different maps.

Nexalas

Nexalas was already at the factory, deciding to grab his things quickly and just hang around the factory until it was time. He chose a spot in the darkness where he wouldn't be easy to notice, which was in the shadow of one of the buildings, and he waited for the events to unfold. Nexalas peeked to see if anyone in his group was here yet, and noticed the girl he saw at the ice cream shop.

So, she's an astral fighter. Interesting....

He then withdrew into his shadow after she disappeared from sight.

Ash and Misty
Ash finished off the last bite of the large slice of double chocolate cake, gulping down the last of his milk and burping loudly, earning glares from both his Mom and Misty. "Hehe, sorry, that one snuck up on me." He smiled slightly, rubbing the back of his neck. The swelling in his lip had gone down, the a nasty gash on the corner of his lip still remained. There was a large bruise on his stomach where he'd been kneed, though that didn't hurt that much compared to his last injury. His nose had been cleaned up and had stopped bleeding, but it still ached and was bright red. His Mom had done her best, and even given him pain reliever, so he felt much better.

"Whatever, Rudolph," Misty snapped, glancing up at the clock from her seat at the other end of the table. It was getting late, they would need to get going soon... The redhead sneaked a glance at Mrs. Hakima, wondering if they should stay. The only reason they hadn't left sooner was because of her, afraid to leave her alone. Misty thought she'd be fine, but... "Hey, Rudolph, it's getting late. We're gonna be late if we don't go soon."

Ash opened his mouth to protest that his Mom needed the company, and they should stay, but she cut him off with a wave of her hand. "Go, honey, I'll be fine. Wouldn't want you to your little meeting." The two thought she was none the wiser to the underground, but she was quite perceptive. You couldn't be married to Daylin for twenty years without picking up how to read people, because he tried not to burden other people with his problems. "Just remember to call." Her kids were so forgetful, she used to have to remind them to change their own undies!

Ash hesitated, but eventually nodded and stood. He hugged his Mom, and muttered a quick and heartfelt goodbye. He was always more of a Momma's boy. Misty followed suit, hugging his Mom, who'd over the years nearly adopted her as the daughter she'd never had, but Mrs. Hakima caught her arm as she pulled away. "Misty... Take care of my Ashy for me, okay?" Her voice was so worried, s heartbroken, and Misty could only nod. "And take care of yourself, too." The redheaded teenager nodded and offered the older woman a smile, before turning and pulling up her hood. She couldn't afford to be weak, Ash and his family needed her.

"Hey Dagen, we're leaving. Get down here!" Ash stood with his hands cupped around his mouth, standing at the bottom of the stairs. His keys were safely in his pocket. He was driving this time. Misty came up behind him and waited for Dagen, too.

Soul

Soul had been walking for about an hour and a half before he finally reached the Industrial District, where the letter had led him to. He didn't need to go back to his place beforehand; he'd already told his parents he'd be out, plus he had kept the letter on him just in case. He saw a few scattered people, some of them possibly arriving for the 'meeting' that was going on. He knew that the Underground was a place for Astral Fighters and their Battles, and excitement bubbled within him, nearly bursting from his lungs. "Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I'm not a challenge. I'll show that Ash-hat what I'm made of soon enough." He scanned his vision for the associate of his father that handed him his letter. "He should be here somewhere."

Dagen

Dagen came downstairs, and was about to say something when Ash's mom seen him. "Hold on young man, I can't let you leave looking like that. Dagen, was it?" She brought over a first aid kit, and patched him up. The nap allows some of his wounds to heal, but having this quick work gave a whole new sense of relief. He remembered his own mother, who would help him when he used to get sick, or got hurt from playing outside. There we go. You be careful too. Also, do me a favor, and keep an eye on these two for me? I would greatly appreciate it. She gave him a hug, and went back the kitchen. Dagen was a little saddened. He missed his own mother. He gained his composure back and turned to his new friends. "Alright, all ready. I can't wait to see what this is all about." He flashed them a smile, but the thought of his mother still hung in his mind.

Salvador

Salvador was waiting by the factory. He had a nice, quiet trip. He was ready for the fresh meat, and ready for everything else that may come. After being in the underground for so many years, it was about time he got what he rightfully deserved. He was determined to take it if he had to.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 07, 2013, 07:54:38 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash winced slightly as he watched his Mom dress Dagen's wounds. "I... I didn't him that hard, did I?" He hadn't meant to, but he lost it the second he saw the astral nearing Misty. All the stories he had heard growing up came back to him, and in that instance he realized something; he would kill to protect her. He'd already lost his Dad, to lose her would break him. So he'd break whoever touched her first.

Misty nodded, frowning slightly. "Ash... I've nevr seen you like that before. You didn't look like you..."She hadn't told him about the way his hair had seemed blonde and flat for a minute, or the way his eyes had turned into ice-chips. She didn't fully understand it herself. One minute, it had been Ash, hugging her and making sure she was okay, and the next he was totally different, picking Dagen up off the ground and slamming him into the wall. She didn't even know ash could fight like that. With as bad as Ash looked, Dagen looked like he'd been run over. The raven-haired battler hadn't hit him much, but he'd sure thrown him around a lot.

Ash shook his head and looked away, right as Dagen came strolling over. "Sorry about my Mom, she's a bit over protective." That was the understatement of the millennium. "Ready to go?" He didn't wait for an answer, walking into the garage and unlocking his car, before sliding in the driver's seat. Misty was soon to follow, seating herself in the passenger's seat. They let Dagen get in the back, giving him a moment to buckle up, and then opened the garage door and drove out.

With the way Ash was driving, they were at factory in fifteen minutes, flying into the parking lot like hell-on-wheels. He was sure to get a lecture from one of the superiors again for possibly alerting the cops where they were at due to his antics of speeding, but he always ignored them. They hadn't caught him yet. "We're here."

Misty got out of the car, glancing at Ash. Sure, he'd driven fast and cut a few people off, but that was relatively tame for him. Something was up. She made a note to herself to ask when they were alone, and walked up to the entrance with him. More people were gathering, it would start soon enough.

(Yo, cortex, get on PO when ya can. Need to ask you something.)

Midou

Midou had arrived at the Automate factory after taking the monorail back. He had been counting the money he got from the loan sharks downtown making sure he knew exactly how much he started out with. There weren't many people gathered at the factory, frankly Midou couldn't tell them apart from the typical loner you'd see around the Industrial district. Midou could only let out a sigh of displeasure because if this was it there wouldn't be much money to be made at this event.

Post by: Tickles on December 08, 2013, 04:40:39 AM

Dagen looked around the area when he stepped out of the car. The factory was a big place, and he wondered why a bunch of fighters would gather here, out of all places. Probably because it was in a secluded area. There were a ton of fighters all around, some looked tough, others seemed kind of nervous. A good amount were glaring at Ash though, but Dagen figured that was normal. "Ok, I think I'm good to go. Hey Ash, do you think you can give me the rundown on the regulars?"

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 08, 2013, 05:22:28 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash ignored the glares he received, turning to Dagen with a grin. "Sure. Lets see... There's Nexalas." His gaze wandered to the pink-haired teenager hiding in the shadows, then back to Dagen. "Resident computer genius. He and his astral, a warrior that can forge weapons from crystals, had quite a win streak going. I ended it though." His grin got wider and he had to fight the urge to laugh at the thought.

Next, his eyes found a tall, muscular man with his arms crossed, standing at the front of the crowd. There was a few feet between him and the nearest person. "That giant over there is Salvador, no one really knows much about him. He and his astral, a scuba diver with different elemental blasts and a large drill, are a big threat."Ash himself had never battled the giant, though he knew the fight would be a close one. He was more scared that if he beat the huge man in battle, he'd kick his ass in real life.

Ash gazed around, looking for anymore people he recognized. He found Efialtes, hair plastered to his head by sweat, standing beside a girl near his age, who looked similarly exhausted. "That over there's Efialtes. Kids a gambler." Ash paused to laugh at his joke, before explaining. "His astral is weird. He uses a set of dice, the roll depends on his weapon. He could throw a marshmallow at you, or pull out a minigun that shoots fire. Seriously, he's done both to me." With one last glance, he swept through the crowd. "Umm... that's all the regular's off the top of my head, lotta new people here."

Misty thumped him on the back of the head, 'causing him to growl at her. "You forgot to introduce us, idiot." She smiled slightly at Dagen, then said, "I'm Misty, though you know that. My astral's Sub-Merged, and I don't have to explain anything since you've already fought me. Rudolph, over here, though, you haven't. He's a gang leader, and Nexalas and Efialtes are part of that gang, as am I. His astral's an elf-like warrior, and believe it or not, he fights using strategy. He's a genius in battle, but out..."

Luke and Kat

Oil and smoke. As the doors of the monorail slid shut behind them, these smells became immediately apparent to Luke and Kat.

"Yep, we're in the Industrial District alright," Luke confirmed. He and Kat then made their way down the ramp of the station, and proceeded to wind their way throughout the winding roads of the district until they eventually arrived at their destination: a spot right in front of the gates of a power plant.  There, on front of the gates, stood a man that was wearing the uniform of the workers at the plant.

"You lost or something?" The man asked. "You don't look like you belong here."

"Sorry," Luke replied, "we were just, uh, looking for someone."

"Do you perhaps have a letter to give to that person?" the man asked rather specifically.

"Yeah," Luke said simply, pulling out the navy envelope from his pocket and handing it to the man.

"Ah," very well then. May I see one of your astral seals? I just need to verify," the man said after reading the letter. Luke complied, pulling up his right sleeve to show him the smoke-like, tattoo-looking mark on his arm. The man nodded, and then offered for Luke and Kat to follow him. They did so, and in only a few minutes, they found themselves standing in front of the abandoned Automate Factory. There had to be almost a hundred people outside of the factory now, and more were still filing in.

GM POST

The large doors of the factory swung open, and people began making their way inside. The inside of the factory had been redone throughout the past week, and the gigantic room that everyone now entered was no exception, with the now steel-plated silver floors and the solid black walls being immediately noticeable. There was also a large balcony that encircled the entire top area of the wall. There were twelve sync stations around the entire room, and a large, thirteenth one in the center, but none of them seemed to be turned on as of yet.

Yume just walked along with the rest of the people. With this amount of diffrent people it is hard to actually stand out in the crowd. And she was glad it was that way. Her idea was to spectate first to have a look what the game was about before trying herself. It was 'illegal' for a reason. So she had to look before she tried anything.

Ash and Misty
"Hey, Myst, lemme borrow your cellphone." Ash impatiently held out his right hand, his cellphone resting in his left hand, dead. "I forgot to charge mine again." He had a feeling Nexalas was gonna give him an earful for his phone being dead yet again, but if the idiot wanted to talk to him so bad he could just call Misty.

Misty laughed at him under her breath, but handed him her phone. The raven haired battler winced as he took it, feeling his masculinity abandon him. The very girlish teal color hurt him to touch, and the redheaded girl always loved seeing his reaction to it. "I wish you would change this cases color... it's so girly..." She glared at him, eyes narrowed. "It's my phone! Maybe you should remember to charge yours, Mr. Astral Champion!" Ash glared back at her, then sent out a text to Nexalas and Efialtes.

'Waiting outside factory. Find me. ~Ash'

He was behind the group of three now, and noticed his phone vibrate. He looked to see Ashton texted him with Misty's phone, and walked silently behind him while typing on the numpad on his phone. He stopped a few feet behind them without a sound.

Text:I'm already there.

He then waited for them to notice him.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes felt a buzz in his pocket, he reached into it to find a small flip phone. Ash had texted him, something about meeting him infront of the factory. Didn't he leave them at the shop, causing them to half to walk who knows how many miles...? He looked around for Ashton, before finally finding him. Lai trailing behind him. Her voice had a questioning tone, getting quieter as more people arrived, and having a sort of panicked tone to it. "What are you doing?"

Efialtes hushed her, pointing at Ashton. "That's the guy that caused us to half to walk and run, and get lost for a few hours. " He grabbed an empty waterbottle, before throwing it in Ashton's direction. The wind seemed to blow the bottle BACK at himself, only ducking in time for it to hit...Lai. Smooth Efi. Rather than showing concern for his friend who just got hit in the face with a bottle, he started running at Ashton. "HE'S TELEPATHIC!"

Lai angrily continued behind him, only following him at this point because she recognized him...And she was going to rant to him about this. "Its telekinesis you idiot."

Efialtes turned around, a shocked look on his face. "HE CAN READ MINDS TOO?!" He then just ran at Ashton. "YOU'RE A SUPER HERO!"

Ash and Misty
"Yeah, I am a super hero! Hear that Misty? I'm not the only one who thinks I should totally be a super hero!" Ash's semi-serious demeanor flew out the window as Efialtes ran up to him, eyes wide and basically kneeling in worship. "My super power is... Wait, what's my super power?" He paused, trying to think what his super power could be... and then realized where he was at. "Oh. Sorry about that. Nexalas, Efialtes, meet Dagen." The raven haired man stepped aside, letting Efialtes and Nexalas, who he was used to dealing with weird poop from and din't react to him just walking up behind them, see Dagen. "He's a newer battler."

There was a glint of excitement veiled behind his chocolate orbs, and confidence poured off him in waves. At that moment, it was obvious how Ash had become the leader of a gang. People wanted to follow him, to know he was on their side; he forced others to acknowledge him through sheer force of personality. For good or bad, every seasoned member in this place had seen him, and everyone one of them had acknowledged him. In this place, Ashton Hakima changed. He was in his element. "I wanted to introduce him because he'll be hanging with us during this, we're showing him the ropes."

Misty had taken a step back, letting Ash do what he did best. At moments like this, she wondered why Nexalas even bothered to try and take control from Ash. Even if he beat Ash, no one would follow him. Efialtes worshiped the ground Ash walked on, he was Misty's best friend, and even though he wasn't an official member yet, if Dagen joined them he and ash had grown a mutual respect for each other. Ash didn't make people follow him, they just wanted to. "Who's that girl, Efialtes?" The redhead noticed the young girl behind Ash's protege for the first time, and din't recognize her.

Most of the crowd had gone into the factory, but Ash was generally one of the last people in, and as long as they didn't start without them it was fine.

Midou

More people had gathered at the factory and when the doors opened they all started to pour inside. Only a few stayed outside although there was one person struggling to go against the crowd. It was Midou gambling partner, when he finally reached Midou he was hunched and over out of breathe. But Midou brushed this odd pretty quickly when his partner stopped in front of him Midou tossed the bundle of cash he had gotten towards him and started walking toward the factory entrance asking in a plain voice.

So, is there anyone of interest at this gathering?

He struggled to keep the money in hand while trying to catch his breath letting it flounder around in his hand as Midou walked off. Running back up to Midou he tries to answer Midou's question. There......aren't.....many.....worth mention. After calming down a bit Midou's partner was able to speak more clearly.

Most of the people are new to the circuit but there are some you may remember. There's Salvador and Ash Hakim. He's brought along his usual gang too.

Hearing this Midou stopped and a sly grin grew on his face. He turned to his associate who stopped a few seconds after he did.
Let’s keep an eye on them, their bound to be a pair of fan favorites tonight.
With those last words Midou and his partner entered the factory still grinning as he thought of tonight’s event.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes had more been paying attention to ash, until a question had been posed by Misty. Lai, during this, was more cowering behind Efi, since he was the only one in the entire group of people, and she meant the ENTIRE group, that she knew. Efialtes spoke, his attention being shifted over to Misty. "Huh? Oh, yeah! I was gonna introduce her to everyone! Anyways, this is Lai, a friend from school! She was in the GFA, but when it closed she immediately shifted to the underground!"

Lai waved a bit at Misty, from behind her Human shield, not really saying anything.

Luke and Kat walked into the factory, and they were both quite impressed by what they saw.

"Not bad, eh?" Luke said, turning to Kat.

Kat simply shrugged. "I guess, looks a little boring."

Luke simply just blew Kat's comment off. The excitement began to rise up in him; he was ready to fight again.

GM POST

Once most of the people had filed into the factory, the lights dimmed. The balcony was illuminated, and five of the sync stations lit up in different color lights. Up on the balcony, facing the large crowd, was a bald-headed man who wore an expensive-looking black suit. In his hand was a large mircophone.

"WELCOME, BATTLERS, TO ANOTHER EXCITING NIGHT OF UNDERGROUND ASTRAL FIGHTING!" the man screamed into the mic, his voice booming out of speakers located throughout the building. "We have some special guests tonight, and no, I'm not talking about the dozens of new fighters brought over from the GFA! Here, have a look for yourselves!" He gestured with his hands, and three spotlights shone on the balcony, revealing the three Triad leaders. Upon seeing three of the underground's strongest fighters, a round of loud applause rand out from the crowd. Once it died down, the MC once again started to speak, "Now, we've got a full night of battling ahead of us, but first, we're going to open like we normally do. Ten fighters have been selected to face one of the others at random, on a pre-selected stage. Since we have such special guests with us here tonight, we've decided to give all five of these opening battles the same stage, and we're throwing it back to the Golden Age! All of tonight's opening battles will be played on the Tilted Treetops, and the winner of each match will have the stage downloaded to their sync band! In tonight's opening battles, Yume Tsuki will take on Soul Byakurai at the red sync station! At the blue station, Dagen Wolfechild will take on Efialtes! At the station illuminated green, we'll see a battle between Luke Taylor, the GFA's reigning champ, and Lai, also a former fighter of the GFA! Oh? On the yellow station, we will have a fight between members of the same gang, Ashton Hakima and Nexalas! For the final battle in the opener, on the orange station, Salvador, the Triad's previous challenger, will fight the hot-headed Midou! Well folks, this is going to be an exciting night, which will be off to a great start with this exciting opener! All of the fighters just mentioned are to head over to the sync station that is lit up in their indicated color and press the button on their sync bands to begin battling!

Dagen
Dagen was too in awe of everything to notice the new people talking to Ash. He heard the loud boom of the announcer, and realizedd he was going to face off in a fight against Effialtes. "Well, I guess that's you. See you there. Ash, good luck in your fight." He ran over to his station and awaited his opponent.

Salvador

Sal wasted no time. He went straight to his station without a single word, and stood in an intimidating stance. He never needed to seem it, because he would just fight them in real life, and show them what a fight really means. He never heard of this person, Midou, and he didn't care. A fight is a fight, no matter what.

Ash and Misty
"Whaddya mean I'm not in the pre-fights?!" Misty screamed, struggling against Ash's grip on her waist. She was going to give those people a piece of her mind. How dare they put Ash and Salvador in the competitions, but not her! They would pay, she would make them all pay! She desperately tried to break Ash's grip around her waist to get free, but they weren't kids anymore, and he was the stronger of the two by far.

"Misty, calm down." She felt his warm breath on the back of her neck, and her thoughts went blank for a second, before she whirled on him. Thee wasn't much space between him, for he had not loosened his grip on her waist, chests only inches apart from each other, and she was forced to look up at him. Her eyes were level with his chin, forcing her to acknowledge once again how much he'd changed over the years. She'd been taller than him when they were 16, not by much, but taller. Now he was nearly a head taller than her. "Easy for you to say, they were sure to put you in a match! They even pitted Nexalas against you! I coulda fought you!"

She narrowed her eyes at him, aquamarine orbs glowing with fire. Ash was slow to respond, having learned over the years that she was a ticking timebomb, and he was very bad at defusing bombs. So he jumped to the most logical conclusion. "Is it your time of the month, Myst?" A smile started to grow on his face as he patted himself on the back for figuring it out, and disappeared faster than it came as he felt something collide with him directly between the legs. He immediately fell to the ground, rocking back and forth and whimpering, and Misty seemed like a volcano above him, spewing insults.

"Ash, you dumb ass! No, it's not! How could you ev-do you even know what that me-Ash, you dumb ass!" Misty sputtered, her face redder than her hair. Her fists were clenched into the fabric of her jeans, and her whole body was shaking. And so Ash, like the genius he was, figured it out; he dun goofed.

Yume Tsuki

'What...!? No! I just wanted to...' Yume stressed out thinking of a way out. "Hahahaha! This is hilarious. They already seem to know your name." 'Ha ha. Very funny... Fine, let's get over with this.' She walked to the red sync station. Still nervous, but as always a completely unreadable blank face.

Nexalas

Nexalas smiled, he had a feeling it would come to this one way or the other, but he didn't expect to be pinned against Ashton right at the start. He started walking towards the battle station past Ashton.
Don't hold back, I want to see which one of us are stronger.
He then entered the station and got to his spot, waiting for Ashton.

Ash and Misty
"C'mon...Myst...I...thought...I...was...being...helpful..." Ash groaned, pausing between each word to take a deep calming breath. He was going to kick Nexalas' ass for walking away without so much as an 'are you okay?'. You don't just leave a dude hanging like that, even if you are rivals. He'd have asked if the pink-haired teen was alright, albeit after asking if he even had anything down there, but he would have asked if he was alright! Asshole....

"Ash, don't talk to me!" Misty stormed ahead of him, hood pulled over her head and tight around her face, attempting to hide her deep red blush. She'd been shocked Ash even knew what that was, the damn boy was so naive! It would have been embarrassing to be asked that in private, but right there in front of Efialtes, the new girl, and Nexalas! How dare he! 'Ash-hole is right...'

With a sigh, Ash was forced to leave the redhead behind, limping toward the sync station and shooting a glare at Nexalas. "I'm gonna kick your ass. This is your fault." He had no reason to blame the pink-haired teen for his blunder, but he needed someone to blame, and the flaming fairy fit the bill perfectly.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 09, 2013, 01:10:56 PM

Nexalas

He put on his synch band, not even saying a word. He couldn't stop thinking about his astral's recent threats, like earlier today when he said he'd take out Misty. He needed to confirm it, and what better way to bait his astral than to battle someone his astral hates? He then snapped back into reality when Ash blamed him for something stupid.
... Sorry about before, we'll talk later. Right now, though, I need to confirm something.
He then pointed his band out and synched with his astral... and then he blacked out.

X

He appeared in the thick forest on a trees side. He stood there, in a daze, but then he seemed to smile a red smile.
That boy was a fool if he thought he could control me for this fight. Now its about time I cleared my name.
He then started forging a sword as he jumped from tree to tree, all the while forging what appeared to be a blue crystal blade, it's color slowly deepening.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 09, 2013, 01:20:04 PM

Ash
"Whaddya mean... Ah forget it! I'mma kick your ass!" Ash grinned confidently, one hand still clutched over his stomach. The sync Nexalas had performed looked weird, his astral mark was dull, as if they weren't in tune, but he ignored it. He also ignored the illegal early sync, since they were suppose to sync at the same time. Rules weren't really enforced here. Without further adieu, he pulled out his bracelet and tapped in a command. His eyes hazed over, and there was a dull glow beneath his jacket, on his right shoulder. It was too blurred by the fabric to make out, but it looked like a sword and a shield. Then, the sync completed.

Link
Link drew his sword instantly, shield ready to block any oncoming blows. His opponent had synced before him, and had the element of surprise. When he was convinced it was safe, he sheathed his sword, moving his hand to the the metal grappling device that wrest of his right wrist. He pressed a button, and the hook launched out, latching onto a tree far above him, and zipping him up. e continued like this, going higher and higher. He wanted the high ground when they clashed, to get off a few arrows.

Soul

Noticing quite a few people walking into a set of doors, Soul rushed over and flashed his envelope and letter to the guards just before the announcer gave the first matches, one of which included him and the angry blonde girl from the ice cream shop at the "red sync station". "Lets just hope her fit has worn off by now." Rushing over to the stage, he gave himself a second to catch his breath before speaking to his opponent. "Sorry if I'm late, not being in the Underground kinda inhibits your ability to know your way around." Soul raised his right wrist and had two fingers hover over his Sync Band. "When you're ready?"

X

While jumping from tree to tree and almost finishing his sword, which is a deep blue at this point, he noticed the sounds of chains rattling in the distance. He then stopped, it seemed to be moving somewhere above him. He checked his sword to see if it was hard enough, now it was a slightly dark blue. He smiled and focused his powers under his feet.
Unlike Nexalas, I know how to use my powers properly.
Then light blue crystals seemed to erupt from under him as he started maneuvering up on a crystal flower platform, the root of the flower growing rapidly and causing him to ascend as if on an elevator. As the flower twisted around the trees at an alarming rate, he noticed he was getting closer to the source of the noise. He readied his sword, but then suddenly his focus was lost and the crystal flower shattered. He landed on his feet on the nearest tree, grasping his head in pain.
What.... the heck do you think.... your doing?
Something you can't accomplish, now silence!
The voice then faded, and he looked around. He lost track of where the noise was exactly coming from now.

Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 02:17:26 AM

Link
Link froze, pulling himself up on the trunk he had been hurtling up towards, and listening. It sounded like glass shattering, and then there was a groan of pain. The Hylian Warrior moved down the trunk, keen eyes moving through the forest. It didn't take him too long to spot the figure cloaked in black, picking himself up off a large tree trunk. Small blue crystal shards surrounded him, presumably what had shattered.

Link didn't waste anytime drawing his bow and notching an arrow, one eye closed. It took him a second to find a clear path of assault through all the foliage, but he did, and released one arrow, and the another. The two arrows whizzed through the air at the astral, one headed for his right leg and another headed for his left hand. The warrior had learned not to aim to kill this early in the fight, but cripple. Something always happened to prevent killing blows first attack.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 02:38:45 AM

X

The astral heard the chain noises stop, and after waiting a few seconds heard a noise and quickly tried dodging, barely avoiding the first arrow which cut through part of his cloak, and the other hit him in his right arm instead. He jumped to the next tree, quickly looking at the arrow that hit the tree and following its direction to the upper trees.
So that's your game, boy?
He yanked the arrow out of his arm, wincing slightly before summoning another flower and riding it upwards towards where the arrow was fired, sword ready.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 02:46:20 AM

Link
Link had leaped into actions only seconds after he fired the arrows, shooting his hook-claw at a trunk several dozen yards below him, and snagging it on that, before jumping. He fell quickly, and when the hook-claw ran out of slack it tugged sharply on his arm, jerking it awkwardly upwards, but he only dangled for a second before he pulled himself onto the tree trunk his claw had latched on. His arm may now be stinging badly, but he'd managed to get a decent distance away from where he was at in only a few seconds.

Once the stinging in his arm had quieted down he peered up at X, studying the way he seemed to ride on an ever extending crystal platform. The foliage between them was too thick to take another shot, and he was only catching glimpses, but the man seemed to be nursing a wound in his arm, so something had hit. Now, to get in position again.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 03:14:58 AM

X

He jumped of the platform, which shattered into peices as soon as he was off of it, and looked for the warrior. He was nowhere in sight, and X thought for a moment... but was interrupted by a noise under him. He attached his sword to his belt and quickly forged a large scythe, then seemed to drop backwards and span once, sinking the scythe into one of the tree's with the blade cracking a bit, and he swung downwards, getting himself to where he thought he heard the sound and slowly looked around for any movements, bringing out his sword.
This is getting really repetitive... when is he going to show his face?
He then had an idea, it was stupid but it may actually work.
Oh man, this is sure getting tiring looking for a certain green hero. Would be a shame if I got unlucky! OH GODS! I seem to have stabbed myself with my sword again, this is the worst!
he waited a few seconds to see if he would actually respond, searching for any sounds or movement.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 03:33:56 AM

Link
Link didn't move as the astral leaped down to where he was, just one tree trunk above him. The cloaked being paused, and then started screeching up a storm about impaling himself with his sword. The memory was familiar, and Link was sure the creature had done it before, but from his perch below the astral, there was no injury other than an arrow through his arm. So the Hyliian didn't react, only held his breath and remained still, hidden in the thick foliage of the trees.

And then, still holding his breath, he very slowly drew his bow... and launched four arrows in a blurry at the target, one aimed at his neck, one his uninjured arm, and two at his legs. Then he leaped out from his cover, letting the bow and quiver drop his back and fall thousands of feet to the ground. They would only weigh him down, and not it was a fight. Unsure if the arrows had hit from his vantage point, Link drew his sword and shield, then nimbly leaped onto the trunk his opponent was on.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 03:46:03 AM

X

He looked around, and then turned his gaze downwards, looking for movement. His eye wandered to a glint of light in the shadows, and half a second later arrows were fired at him from right below him. He swiftly dodged the arrow that shot at his neck and his arm, and only barely managed to get away with cuts in his left leg, and an arrow sticking into his right leg. He then rolled backwards, getting back up in a fighting stance as the Hylian revealed himself. X yanked the arrow out of his leg, the arrow's tip dyed with blue blood.
So your this Link I've heard about. So now that your here...
He pointed the tip of his blade at Link.
Let's play, shall we boy...?
He then ruthlessly lunged at Link, quickly materializing another sword and slashing at him.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 03:52:33 AM

Link
Link blocked the attack with his shield, and the sword shattered, covering his shield in dull colored powder. He didn't have time to ponder it at his instincts took over, and he brought his sword around for a stab at X's midriff, slamming the blade under his shield so his face was still protected from the dust that was still sprinkling down. He was taking no chances.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 04:00:38 AM

X

He smiled and easily parried the sword, as Link was distracted, with his good sword. The blades make a sound as if instead of crystal, his blade clashed with steel. He then jumped back, having what seems to be an amused expression.
Come now, afraid of a bit of dust getting on your face? Show me what you can really do.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 04:07:12 AM

Link
Link didn't lower his shield until the dust stopped raining down, and then he studied his opponent. He was bleeding out of his leg and his arm from the arrows, and the wound had been torn open more by how he carelessly ripped it out. Both of his hands rested on the hilt of his sword, so the Hylian knew he'd be outmatched when it came to power play, but he had the advantage of defense. He was also unwounded and unfatigued, where as X had been hunting him on a wild goose chase, and was still bleeding.

Even so, Link knew not to underestimate him. The astral was bigger than him, bigger than he remembered, and the stance he held himself in was designed to hit hard and fast, not like the defensive stance it had gone with the last time they fought. Something was different, more primal. "Hyaa!" A plan in mind, Link slid forward, planting one heel firmly on the ground and whipping his body around, sword lashing out towards X's injured arm again, and shield ready to parry a blow.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 04:16:33 AM

X

He waited patiently, smiling as Link charged at him. He smiled, having a plan of his own. He charged at Link as well, switching the sword to his left hand and letting Links blade sink into his right one. He winced only slightly as he quickly slashed at links sword wielding arm.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 10, 2013, 04:23:50 AM

Link
Link couldn't block the blow as it came at him completely, but he managed to intercept it partially with his shield. The sword hit the rim of the steel shield and bounced off it, catching the Hylian warrior in the forearm and leaving a long, deep cut. Link winced, but gave the enemy no time to strike again, throwing his shield forward and attempting to bash X in the face. Then, wincing and slinging blood as he did so, he followed up with a slash at X's neck.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on December 10, 2013, 04:38:24 AM

X

He smiled as his attack succeeded, but was short lived as when he tried slashing again, he was quickly bashed by the shield. Before he could recover, however, he felt a sharp pain and then nothing. He slowly looked over to his right with his eyes and saw the blade cut the left side of his neck, tearing through the hood of his cloak. The cloak fell backwards, revealing what seemed to be a young man with wrinkles and black hair. Crystals began forming all over his body as he fell to his knees.
... What? .... I.... managed to do worse... than that child? How can a simple... being....
He then fell limp, head nodded down.
No... the gods have spoken.... I'm the simple being....
His voice faded away as he shattered into crystals, as if he was a simple shell. The battle has ended.

Link
Link watched his opponent quietly, and then stepped back, and waited for the desync to happen. It did soon.

Ash
Ash grinned as he desynced, looking around for Nexalas. He didn't see him at first, but when he finally found him, he rushed to his side. The teenager was slumped over on the ground, eyes rolled back into his head. "Misty!"

"Ash, I said I didn't want to talk to you, and I don't wanna hear you br-"

"Misty! Get your ass over here, now! The tone of Ash's voice was enough to shut her up, but the force behind it shocked her. She'd seen him mad a lot, after all, they argued a lot, but this was different. He wasn't mad, Nexalas hadn't done anything wrong. He sounded... strict, he sounded like... Well, the only way she could describe it in that exact moment was this; he sounded like Daylin.

So, she rushed over there, understanding immediately what was wrong. "Why's he on the ground?" Her voice wavered for a second, eyes flashing worriedly. She didn't necessarily like the pink-haired boy, but she didn't wish him harm. "I don't know, but you know more about this than me. Help him!"

The urgency in Ash's voice scared her, and she panicked. So kneeling down beside Nexalas' side,  she did what any panicked person would do; she hit him. Hard, in the face, open-palmed. and she would regret it later, because man, it wasn't as hard as she could have!

Luke and Kat

Luke wasn't sure what to think. It was his first ever underground event, and he was chosen to be one of the first people to battle that night? He shrugged, and walked over to the sync station that had been illuminated green.

"Be careful," Kat said, grabbing his arm, "I've heard it's a different game down here."

Luke reassured her that he would be fine before turning to wait for his opponent.

Midou

Hearing his own name being called to the sync station vexed Midou quite a bit. Being in a fight he wouldn't be able to watch anyone else fight and plan his bets. But since the fight was against Salvador in the tilted treetops of all places it wouldn't last too long. Midou directed his partner to go watch the other matches and tell him about the astrals who when he finished then reluctantly walked to the orange sync station where Salvador was already waiting. Standing on the stage across from Salvador Midou spoke callously saying.

 I really don't care how this match goes I plan on letting my astral do as he please. So let’s try and end this quickly shall we.

Midou held up his right hand revealing his astral marking and sync band. Readying his sync band to link up with his astral, Midou looked at Salvador waiting for him to ready himself.

"No problem. I'm ready" She said reaching for the button on her bracelet.

Nilakanta
When she opened her eyes again she stood in a whole diffrent area. Looking around in awe and quickly focusing back on what's going to happen. The armored humanoid dragon looked at her opponent for this match.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on December 10, 2013, 04:41:36 PM

Soul

Watching his own hand and his opponents hand reach for their Sync Bands, he could feel the excitement and tension rise in unison. "This is it. Right here, right now. This match right here starts my streak." He closed his eyes and pressed the button, preparing for battle.

MegaMan

The Blue Bomber could feel his body re-build itself with his data, then touch down on the sideways tree of the Tilted Treetops Arena. When he opened his eyes, he was amazed with the scenery: trees as far as he could see, each more beautiful than the one before it. While scanning the scenery, he also found his opponent, which could only be described as an armored, humanoid dragon. Rushing back to the reality of battle, MegaMan quickly jumped from one tree to the next, searching for a place to hide, ending behind what he thought was a thick tree branch. "Not going to be easy. Blue armor and energy blasts that burn through everything I shoot through. My location won't exactly be kept secret." He summoned his Buster and watched his opponent, waiting.

Nilakanta

Nilakanta saw a blue blur passing by. Her reticle-system was seeking it's target but couldn't lock on due to the thick tree blocking it's sight. She dove off the tree spreading her wings gliding smoothly and silently. Rising up again. The armor around her arm reshaped releasing a assault rifle in her hand. It connected by a cable to the suit. She rose up behind the thick tree spotting the blue astral and fired her assault rifle.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on December 10, 2013, 08:34:24 PM

MegaMan

Knowing he couldn't hide very well, MegaMan saw Nilakanta approach and waited for the attack. The bullet bounced off of his Buster as he tried to escape, making a high pitched ringing and leaving a scratch. He fired a few energy blasts from his Buster while running along the tree, aiming for the flying being's assault rifle arm. "I need some time to figure out what to do. Gotta keep moving for now." Keeping his Buster at the ready, MegaMan jumped away again while trying to form a strategy, but keeping an eye on Nilakanta.

Nilakanta

Nilakanta zigzagged between the branches while dodging the bullets. And switched her assault rifle when she noticed her bullets were too scattered to actually hit anything in long distances. A sniper formed and she took aim at the target while chasing, she aimed for the legs. When she took a look around her she noticed the dirt wall dangerously close right next to her. "God, this is disorienting when you fly."

Nexalas

He woke up abruptly with a jolt, gasping for air, sitting up and looking around. He remembered synching and then... blank.
What... what the...
He then thought for a moment, remembering his suspicions that spawned earlier today.
He took control, just like he said.... X... what exactly is your objective?
He then remembered where he was after recollecting his thoughts and saw the half- panicked, partially concerned, and mostly angry faces of Misty and Ashton.
S-sorry about that... so what happened? I thought I synched.
He had to play dumb for now until he got a good grasp on the situation. Tonight he has to see how dangerous his astral is.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on December 11, 2013, 05:24:16 AM

MegaMan

Still being chased, MegaMan tried his best to dodge the bullets while thinking of a strategy. He heard his opponent mutter something about flying after taking another bullet scratch across his shoulder, and one near his calf. He turned to look at Nilakanta to see a new gun on their arm, and he had a double realization. "She's a long range fighter, and the wings are her source of mobility."

MegaMan landed on another tree, and took a few seconds to charge his Buster, then fired a shot about the size of his head followed by a few more small shots. Immediately remembering his lightbulb moment, he switched his Buster for his Energy Sword, and rushed at Nilakanta, hoping to take out her wings.

Nilakanta

She dodged the large bullet barely, but was just a second too late to expect her opponent to jump towards her and going into melee mode. Feeling a sharp pain as the blade tore through her right wing, making her unable to stabilize her flight. Clumsily she landed on a tree taking a look at the damage she took. 'Close range... We're about equally fast... It'll be difficult to keep him away from me. Guess I have to rely on my agility from here...' She switched her sniper to a different gun. It was loaded with electricity. 'First I need to slow him down... This should be able to stun him.' Her weapon started to hum in a high tone, and discharged a blast of electricity.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Evening|Clear
Post by: WhistfulSoul on December 11, 2013, 03:23:32 PM

MegaMan

Having charged at such a high speed, MegaMan had to touch down on another tree before rushing Nilakanta again, but jumped back into the air so quickly he couldn't dodge the electricity. "Not good." He curled his left arm and leg in front of his body to take the most of the blow, and retracted his Sword for the use of his other hand. He barely caught a branch from the tree Nilakanta was on to hold onto, but had to do something to give his body time to recover. "I need more time, again!" He quickly recovered his Energy Sword on his bad arm, and whipping it around using his shoulder, sliced through the tree in Nilakanta's direction.

Nilakanta

The dragon quickly jumped away. She switched to a very large weapon and started charging it. The reticle took aim at the target and the front of the gun started twisting loading three rockets. She had to hurry, the blue man was close to reaching her again. She fired three rockets spiralling around each other activating the homing system. Meanwhile Nilakanta switched to her handgun and made some more distance.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on December 11, 2013, 10:56:37 PM

MegaMan

Still paralyzed by the electric gun, MegaMan had just pulled himself onto the tree again when he saw three rockets heading his way. He sliced through the first one, disabling it, but couldn't pull his sword up for the second one, which pushed him very close to the dirt wall. He got back up just in time to dodge the third rocket, but the explosion behind him sent him flying through the air towards the dragon being. Thinking on his feet, (or rather, in the air), he switched to his Buster. He took another few seconds to fire another charged shot, but brought his Sword back and held it in front of him like a lance as he flew behind his Buster shot through the air towards Nilakanta.

Nilakanta

The dragon's armor suit was beeping, in the corner of her eye she saw some kind of bar entirely empty. Not minding it she evaded the attack, jumping sideways getting hit at her left leg. Firing her handgun. But the bullet didn't come really far and just dropped out. "What...?" She fired her gun a few more times but it wasn't doing much aside from coughing up bullets. "Damn, that was probably a warning I depleted the fire power... Now what? Do I have anything else..." She quickly scanned through her weapons, but she didn't have any melee. The only thing she could do now was fighting bare handed versus swords.  "Crap..." She had to think of a different plan. She had to run, but her left leg protested.

MegaMan

Expecting to be riddled with bullets from the handgun, MegaMan was a little slow on the uptake, but knew he could finish the battle in this instant. He knew he had hit Nilakanta's left leg, and he had almost fully recovered from the paralyzing attack. "Now for my own chance to keep her in place." He ran towards Nilakanta again, and slid to her left side, trying to take out her other leg.

Nilakanta

In a reflex and desperate attempt she blocked his sword with her handgun. The force made her lose her balance dropping down spiralling by her spread wings which opened up in a reflex to falling, still landing badly onto another tree. 'Damn... I have to stand up and fight back... But I have nothing to fight back... I have to improvise.' She switched her handgun to the sniper rifle. 'Maybe I can trick him into dodging...' She prepared for the worst, but was ready to bash him into the depths with her gun if he made a wrong move.

Still on the original tree, he stayed laying down, hoping to stay out of sight. "She's good at dodging. Even when she can't move she can move." He began to stand back up for another rush, but he felt his body stick to the tree while he heard Soul in his head. "No, not yet. We need a distraction. She's able to dodge you, but we haven't been going full speed, I can feel it." MegaMan felt his Sword merge into a Buster, and take aim at a branch farther along the tree that Nilakanta landed on. Catching onto Soul's plan, MegaMan fired at the branch, then brought the Energy Sword back, jumping in the opposite direction of his blast, hoping to rush Nilakanta from behind. "Full speed!"

Nilakanta

Surprised by the shot making her fall down again. She was about to twist around facing upwards only to get impaled by the sword. "D-damn, clever move..." She brought out in her last breath, falling down into the depths.

Yume Tsuki

Yume snapped back to reality when the match was over. That seemed more realistic than she first considered. She sighed in relief, but was also a bit disappointed she lost her first match. All she could do now was laugh at her own mistakes. "I'm such an idiot." She just laughed. "Was still a good fight though. Congrats."

MegaMan

The distraction worked, and his Sword ran straight through Nilakanta. She fell off the tree, then disappeared. MegaMan stood up, released his sword, and closed his eyes.

Soul

He opened his eyes to see Yume standing in front of him, chuckling to herself. "I'm such an idiot. Was still a good fight though. Congrats." Soul smiled and held his hand out. "That was a good match. You and your astral are a good team. If you ever want a rematch, just find me and ask."

Yume Tsuki

"Sure thing." She shook his hand. For once she didn't care too much about making a mistake in front of a large audience. It was her first time ever battling and she hadn't even taken the time to look into information about her astral until she had to battle. But she was certain now, she wanted to continue. She took her place back in the audience.

Efialtes

Efialtes had just been standing quietly, not really paying attention. Before eventually,  he felt a tap on his shoulder, It wasn't anyone he knew, except they pointed up to the synch stations, saying something about he was up. 'Eh? They usually get good people to do this, and I'm kinda...Not good.' He had a confused look on his face, and questioned the random person until they insisted it was his turn. To be honest, he needed to pay attention to these things. But he was...thinking. He eventually moved from his spot, going up to his spot on the synch station. He looked kind of nervous, he relied on luck, so he wasn't really a good...Battler.  He was pretty late, he hadn't been paying much attention to the entire thing. He ended up not saying anything, and just stood there, awkwardly waiting for his opponent to say something, or start.

Lai

She had very slowly made her way to the station. She was very hesitant, this was the first big event she had really been to. And she was already being put against someone for a battle? She looked nervous, not looking up to see her opponent. She had already heard who she had to fight, but her personal rules still forbid her from looking at her opponent. She spoke quietly, her voice barely audible over the audience, her opponent had a fairly slim chance of hearing it. "I...I'm...I'm ready when you are."

Luke

Luke's opponent, Lai, had stepped up to the sync station. Indeed, he had remembered the nervous-looking girl from the GFA. Too excited to wait for her, Luke held up his sync bad and pressed the only button on it. He felt a surge of energy throughout his body, almost as if an immense amount of excitement had been building up. The smoke-like tattoo on Luke's arm that actually served as his seal began to glow a faint blue-purple, which shone through his gold jacket. Luke soon faded from this reality, his mind being transported into another.

Ghost

Ghost's eyes flashed open, and his senses immediately came alive. The slim, fast creature crouched down on the sideways tree that he found himself standing on, placing his hands down on the trunk. He patiently waited there, observing his environment.

Midou

Hearing his own name being called to the sync station vexed Midou quite a bit. Being in a fight he wouldn't be able to watch anyone else fight and plan his bets. But since the fight was against Salvador in the tilted treetops of all places it wouldn't last too long. Midou directed his partner to go watch the other matches and tell him about the astrals who when he finished then reluctantly walked to the orange sync station where Salvador was already waiting. Standing on the stage across from Salvador Midou spoke callously saying.

 I really don't care how this match goes I plan on letting my astral do as he please. So let’s try and end this quickly shall we.

Midou held up his right hand revealing his astral marking and sync band. Readying his sync band to link up with his astral, Midou looked at Salvador waiting for him to ready himself.

Sal nodded, and synched in. Big Daddy appeared on one of the larger trees in the arena. It seemed really sturdy, and didn't shake from his small landing. He waited patiently for his opponent, not even getting his guard up so the fight would be relatively even. He didn't believe in gaining the upper hand early on.

Midou

Midou pressed down on his sync band syncing with his astral.

Salamander

Opening his eyes Salamander could see trees stretching all the way to the horizon. He could hear the surroundings clearly which is a rare occurrence for him. Salamander let out a sly laugh smiling at the fact.
So he really meant it. I can do whatever I want.
Looking at his feet there was black smoke coming off from under his foot. When he lifted it up the three were scorch marks on the branch he was standing on. Salamander jumped up to the next branch looking down again the branch under started to smoke too.

Seems like I can't stand on these branch for long or else i might burn through them. Which means it might not be safe to just throw fire around carelessly.

Salamander started to ascend jumping from branch to branch before stopping looking back at where he first stood. His smile grew wry as he raised his hand to the branch. Aw who am I kidding as if I could resist. Saying that Salamander shot a blast of fire at the branch he was originally standing on. Salamander started jumping up the branches along with the column of smoke coming off of the burning tree.

Lai

Lai sighed a bit as her opponent synched, she hesitated to press her synch band's button. Her breathing became a bit...Panicked. She didn't want to fight this battle. She had little to no chance of success, she slowly pressed the button on her band, the large claw marks on her midsection glowing Electric-crimson red, the color slightly dulled as it shone through her teal shirt and jacket combo, as she slowly blacked out, the next sight shown to her being through that of eye's, made out of fire.

Fluffy

She was now in the body of something a little larger than herself, and on all fours. Her eye's flashed around, the flames that took their place burning in place. Her orange liquid that looked to be her blood, coursing visibly around large spikes in her thick back. A thick fume of smoke burst from his mouth as she opened it to howl, almost giving her position away as much as the even larger, stack of smoke from her position in the branches. She started walking forward, sniffing around for her enemy as smoke trailed behind her, the heat in her paws slowly burning the treetops under them, the flames dying out after the paws left them.

Efialtes

Efialtes sat there for a few seconds, those seconds turning to minutes and whatnot, just kind of staring at his opponent before realizing it. "Oh wait, are you waiting on me to synch? So, sorry. Not used to being a part of these events." He pressed the button on his synch band, the theatre masks on his right shoulder began to glow, a faint white color shining through his lime green jacket, as he began to black out, into the world of astral fighting.

Dagen

Dagen pressed his band and synched. When he awoke as Gix, he noticed he was on the side of a tree, and looked behind him to see a literal wall of dirt. "Wow, this is kind of cool. I need to win now."

Big Daddy

Big daddy noticed the smoke from a tree below him. He trailed it and found his opponent jumping upward towards him. Without a thought, he used incinerate on a tree a couple jumps above Salamandar to prevent him from using it. He proceeded to the dirt wall to try and stay out of sight.

Salamander

Salamander was jumping from tree branch to tree branch when he stopped when the next tree he was heading for was on fire. Salamander looked at the tree quizzically he knew he hadn't set it on fire. He started looking around to see if there was anyone still around but he couldn't stand around looking for long.  Salamander was already starting to burn through the branch he was standing on. He jumped to the branch next to him then looked noticing the wall of dirt. Salamander headed towards figuring it is easier to climb then the trees. But not before shooting off more fire blast at the surrounding trees.
Heh, if this guy's trying to get my attention he might want to try using a bigger flame.

Ghost

As Ghost was quietly observing his surroundings, he noticed a puff of smoke. Soon enough, the smoke became more of a steady stream as it seemingly moved about on its own. A tight smile crossed Ghost's lips, as he was easily able to tell where his opponent was. Ghost leaped from the tree he was standing on with ease, flying to one a ways up and across from him. He shot down several balls of flame down at the trees where the smoke were, lighting them up into flames. He then jumped to another tree opposite him, and performed the same task. He moved over to a third tree and did it one final time. He did move over to a fourth tree, but rather than attacking again, he took the original, crouching position that he had been in upon entering the battle. Ghost assumed that his opponent was heavily fire based, if not even made of fire, based on his projectiles and the smoke, but at the very least, the sudden bursting of trees into flame and the multiple directions from which the fire came should confuse whoever it was that he was fighting.

Fluffy

The hound looked around, fires had started all around her. She sniffed the air, a familiar smell, that of smoke filled the air. The hound smelled something else though, something...Unfamiliar. Something that smelled like danger, something that smelled...Wrong. The hound attempted to follow the smell, jumping from tree to tree when needed.  The smell of fire and smoke seemed to not effect the being, probably due to it emitting the smell itself, and the smell becoming almost too familiar.

Discord

Efialtes was now in the body of a taller person, a yellow mask resting on his face, eyes unseen do to the mask, as they darted from side to side. His suit seemed to shine, as the sun's light bounced off of the white fabric. As he walked, a small 'tap' could be heard, as his cane hit the tree, due to the mask, you would think he was smug. Under the mask however? He was everything but smug. He was...Conversing, with a voice similar to his, but different. He seemed to be arguing, except only half of the conversation could be heard out loud. His voice seemed to be agitated, his voice being able to be heard from a good bit away. "So what was with that stunt? Taking control, asking questions that could have ended in us getting in trouble..."

The voice that came out inside his head, seemed a bit more...Actually, it seemed a bit less, full of life.'The questions needed to be asked. And besides, you were a terrible solo pilot for my body, even used energy up on the yellow toasters.'

His voice sounded offended, under his mask his face had a complete look of confusion on it. "But you said 'hit the toasters with all you've got if you ever see them'! "

The voice in his head sounded disappointed. 'I was talking about the GREEN toasters, the yellow ones are too easy, just hit them with the cane. The green ones have more defense.'

His voice had a hint of sarcasm, this time a chuckle accompanying it. "Eh, just warn me next time. I think one of my friends said something before I was fully paying attention again..." He didn't get a response from the other in his head, which he hoped meant the argument was over. He looked around, not sure to if he had alerted his enemy of his location or not, what with half an argument being shouted across the arena.

Ghost

It looked like Ghost's plan didn't work out so well. Not long after all of the fires had started, he saw the trail of smoke begin to move through the trees towards his direction. Soon enough, he was able to catch a slight glimpse of his opponent, who was still a little ways away from him. He raised his hands and from them shot more powerful fire than before, aiming at the tree that his opponent was standing on. He was hoping to burn through the tree before the beast had time to jump off.

Gix

Gix seen his opponent, and the guy looked really strange. He was dressed in a formal suit and wearing a mask. "Ash said this one used dice to fight, and his rolls say what he uses." Gix dove off the tree he was on, and put his claws forward to initiate the battle. "Tornado Claw!" He spun at high speeds at Discord, ripping through some of the branches as he closed in.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy's tree caught on fire. It didn't take him too long of a thought to jump and drive his drill into the dirt wall, but it crumbled away, causing him to fall to the next tree. This area would be engulfed soon, so he needed to get to a safer platform. He fired a winter blast at some of the flames to quell them, and buy time. He scanned around, and seen his foe again. He let off an electro bolt to try and slow him down.

Salamander

Walking along the branches Salamander was searching for his opponent the sizzling sound of water hitting fire. Salamander started looking around to see the noises source when he saw his enemy in the distance.  He fired some sort of bolt out of his hand, it was moving too fast to dodge Salamander could only block using his arms. The bolt hit forcing Salamander a step back and hadn’t done any real harm but Salamander had lost some feeling in one of his arms.  Tch, well isn't he a sneaky one.

Fluffy

The hound was quickly losing footing, especially when she saw her opponent. She barely had time to jump, and it was a bit of a sudden jump, brought on by her enemy using some sort of fire to speed up the burning, she nearly missed her mark, having to pull herself up, only to have to rush to the side, as that spot burned through. She didn't have much time to run towards her enemy, as her footing was quickly leaving, and she wasn't that fast of a being.

Discord

Discord's head shot to the side, did someone just...Yell? He turned around, to see a spinning being coming at him, what looked like claws to each of its sides, it seemed it was about to try and get him. He dodged to side, which happened to be OFF the tree. He stabbed his cane into the side of another tree, and used the cane to pull himself up. He climbed onto the tree and started to dust himself off. He spoke, his voice having a thick layer of mockery. "Ah yes, the run in and hit everything in sight plan! Always works my friend, because they will never hear you yelling your attack!" He pulled his dice out, and began to toss them up and down. He had a grin under his mask, he had a plan. It was a terrible plan, but hey, what could he do?

Ghost

Ghost crouched down again, but this time, he didn't stay there for long. He suddenly soared upward, an intense fire searing the tree trunk that he was standing on, weakening it as the flames burned through. In midair, he suddenly disappeared. Less than a second later, he reappeared in the direction he had been flying in, right above the top of the tree. Only now, though, he was bigger, heavier, stronger. He had now taken on his form called Phantom, and he began to fall downward, as Phantom didn't have the ability to fly like his thinner counterpart. As he fell, Phantom was able to catch hold of his target with both of his hands, albeit nearly missing it: a small space toward the top of the tree trunk. There was a resounding crack! as the heavy being suddenly slammed onto the top of the tree, and it almost instantly snapped at where it had been weakened by fire, plummeting downward, with Phantom along for the ride. He just simply hoped that his opponent was still on the tree and had fallen as well.

Fluffy

The hound had been running for a few seconds, the tree burning behind her. She attempted to leap, but as soon as she attempted to leap, the tree she was on seemed to...Fall. The there was a tremendous crack, as the tree broke off. The hound could do nothing, except nearly fall off. Combining the hound's attempt at jumping, and the sudden breaking of the tree, the hound was now clutching the side of the tree, loud snarling combined with other odd noises being made. Noises of panic.

Phantom

Phantom's eyes grew wide with anger as he caught sight of the hound hanging on the little bit left of the tree that now stood. He grunted an inhuman sound, maybe this wasn't the best plan, should have just kept it simple. He disappeared, the broken tree falling into the sideways forest without him as he reappeared as Ghost, a little weaker than he was earlier. Ghost shook off his frustration and soared back upward, lining himself up underneath his seemingly helpless opponent and firing off a wave of fireballs. Not even slightly hesitating, he continued his flight, aiming a punch right underneath the pup as he grew near.

Fluffy

The hound had just began to climb back up to the tree, when a wave of fire hit her, making her slide down even more. She made a quiet whimper, with a quick snarling sound, as the punch hit her, making her lose her holding, and she then. Well. She fell. Until finally slamming into a tree, desynching on impact.

Lai

The girl sighed as she regained consciousness in her original body. She looked up to her opponent, a small smile on her face. "....Good game." Her voice was a small bit louder than normal, she had hoped it was at least loud enough for it to be heard over the crowd. She was both happy, and disappointed at the same time. She had lost, by a good bit. Never even hitting her opponent. But on one side, she was not only inexperienced, but that guy had one the tournament. Even if the tournament meant nothing, at least it wasn't someone that would claim themselves that they didn't even have an inch of skill. Right?

Ghost

Ghost felt his fist connect with his opponent, and then that was it. He continued soaring upward for a moment before he seemingly faded away, desyncing.

Luke and Kat

Luke looked at his opponent, returning the gentle smile. He could faintly hear her congratulating him on the win. He thanked her, but the noise the crowd was generating was far louder than he had expected, and so carrying on any sort of conversation with this mouse-like girl didn't seen like it was going to happen. Not all of those people could have been spectating his match, though, could they? He looked around, noticing that two other battles were still going on. Luke was a bit relieved, although he was used to the attention, he was pretty sure that it wasn't all in his best interest at this exact moment. Kat ran over to Luke then.

"How'd it go?" she asked, having to speak up over the crowd for Luke to hear her.

Luke paused for a moment before realizing that Kat, having no astral (and therefore no sync band), had no way to spectate him, as this wasn't the GFA, and fights weren't made available for all to watch. "It went well, she didn't manage to even hit me," he replied, not sounding the least bit cocky, but rather slightly surprised.

It looked as if Kat were about to say something, but she stopped herself. "You hear that?" she eventually asked.

"Hear what?" Luke replied, a bit confused by what Kat had meant.

"I don't know," Kat just shrugged,"thought I heard something from outside."

"Outside the building?" Luke asked in disbelief. "You probably just imagined it, Kat, I can barely here myself above this crowd!"

"I guess so," Kat submitted. She figured that she was probably just being paranoid.

Gix

Gix landed on the tree with a heavy hit, unable to break his spin fast enough. When he realized his opponent had dodged, he felt pretty stupid. "Well, at least I don't look like a tampon on Halloween." He scraped his claws together, creating small sparks for effect. "Frankly, I don't even want to touch you, but I have to win this, so... Shield Buster!" Dagen jumps forward with claws outstretched, looking to stagger his foe.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy began to move around some. If he was going to win this, he would need to get his opponent close to him. The trees would just burn away, and creating enough fire would probably destroy him. He went with a new plan. Using winter blast, he froze a path in front of him, and used it to slide around, baiting his foe to come after him.

Salamander

Salamander started to get some feeling back in his arm when he saw his opponent running away on a trail made of ice of all things. Salamander jumped higher among the trees following his foe from above. When his opponent was clear in sight he jumped off the elevated branch firing ball after ball of fire at the ice road and his opponent.

Discord

Discord grinned under his mask until his enemy called him what he did. He tossed his dice seemingly off the tree, to the side with his cane. Before stopping them mid air and growing them. They didn't roll though, not yet. His opponent did as he had hoped, and dashed at him, attempting to hit him. He jumped off, yet again, and grabbed hold of his cane, before yanking it out of the tree and falling onto his dice. His dice then began to roll, he couldn't offset the roll any longer. He leaped towards another tree, before stabbing the cane into it, and staying there. He couldn't pull himself up, and two numbers had already rolled (THREE and FIVE, meaning...Oh heck yeah, Mid power and Fire elemental.) The other set of numbers rolled, getting him a seven. He grinned, jumping towards his enemy, before what looked like a minigun composed of fire appeared in his hands. He fired the first four balls of fire at the ground, using the knockback to land on a tree, before firing the other four at his enemy.

GM POST

Suddenly, the wailing of sirens could be heard around the Automate Factory, at first faint, but growing much louder in only a short amount of time. There was a loud booming sound as the large front doors to the factory swung open, and tons of police officers, armed with riot shields and guns, swarmed into the building.

"STOP! NOBODY MOVE!" one of the officers at the front yelled into a bullhorn. "WE HAVE THE BUILDING SURROUNDED. WE REQUEST THAT THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT STEP UP NOW, HANDS ABOVE THEIR HEADS."

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and an unseen, mysterious force caused the current astral battles to stop, forcing the fighters to harmlessly desync, as if the fights had ended in a tie. No one stepped forward to comply with the officer's request, though, as both the MC and the leaders of the Triad were nowhere to be seen.

Dagen

Dagen was back in the real world. he was about to close the deal and win too, and take his foe out with his super. "So close..." He looked around and seen the police. He had a few run ins with them before, but they were minor 'Hey, you can't sleep here' or 'We have strong suspicion of blah blah blah,' but this time was different. He was part of a highly illegal battle, and these guys looked serious. Dagen started to panic a little inside, and did his best to hide by some of the other fighters. All he wanted was to find Ash and Misty and get the hell out.

Salvador

Salvador was frustrated. He hated interruptions, especially by the pigs. He knew better though. He might be  strong fighter in the real world, but even he couldn't stop a bullet if he wanted to. He looked out of the corners of his eyes to find a way out, but found none. He couldn't hide either because of his size, and the mere fact that no one really wanted to be near him. If anyone was going to be the perpetrator, he would be chosen simply because of his age, and he did not want to play the hero to these weak meatbags.

Police entered the abandoned factory, storming the place, surrounding everyone. "STOP! NOBODY MOVE!" one of the officers at the front yelled into a bullhorn. "WE HAVE THE BUILDING SURROUNDED. WE REQUEST THAT THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT STEP UP NOW, HANDS ABOVE THEIR HEADS." Those in battle came back to their own consciousnesses, and everyone grew quiet, but no one stepped up to the man with the bullhorn.

"Tch. So much for being 'Underground'." Soul leaned up against the closest railing and waited for further instructions from the police officers. "Let's hope that I can easily explain this to father."

Yume looked around noticing police storming in. "What is that noise?" "Trouble. Big trouble." "You're in a big crowd now right? They won't be able to notice you if you keep low." Yume was afraid that wouldn't be as easy as she would consider. The police is here and ready to take them away one by one. Although... She knows they won't use guns on the visitors, it would be ironic to kill people for playing a game with a risk of killing them. 'There has to be another way out... What kind of factory had this been before it was abandoned.' It was hard to look around for an escape with all these people blocking her view.

Ash and Misty
Ash clenched his hand into the side of his jeans, knuckles turning white. He'd known the police all his life, he'd seen half these people since he was a kid. His Dad used to help out when the criminals had an astral, and sometimes he went with him to stay in the station since Mom wasn't home. These people had known him since right after he could walk... so why was his anger rising, and the urge to close his hand around one of their throats rising?

"Ash... you okay?" The redhead stared at him, seemingly oblivious to the police. His eyes... they'd been doing it again. Turning that cold blue color, and now that she looked, his hair was tinted blonde... Whatever was going on with him, she didn't like it. It looked like it was hurting him, and only she was allowed to hurt him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Myst. Listen, do me a favor. I need you to go get Dagen, Efialtes, and Nexalas. Have them with you when I get back." The redheaded woman opened her mouth to protest, but Ash hugged her, muttering a thank you for God knows what, and then rushing off. Towards the balcony at the back of the room. Moments later she would realize who he was looking for, but for now she had a job to do.... And maybe it would help her get rid of the red flush in her cheeks.

(GM for the balcony or tell me to. I don't care. I think you know who he's looking for.)

There was something akin to the sound of glass breaking in Efialtes' head as he was suddenly desynched. No harm was done, no. But the sudden desynch was...Odd. And caused him to be disoriented at first. He looked around for a few seconds before realizing what was going on. Police. Surrounding the building. You could almost see the gears turning in his head as he processed all the information. He seemed to  sit down, and attempt to cower behind the synch station. He had his hands over his head, and he was shaking madly.

Lai was already back in the crowd, looking around for the one person here she new. She was hoping he knew what he was doing, too bad he didn't. She found him over cowering behind the Synch station. And in that moment, every ounce of hope she had that he knew what to do in this situation. Was destroyed. She slumped down beside him, cowering too. They were both shaking, they were both afraid, and honestly, in this situation...They had every right to be.

Yume Tsuki

The girl walked through the crowd, her hoodie up so she didn't catch too much attention. Looking for a way out while it seemed like she just casually walked around considering her options. 'If I go along willingly, I might lose my sync band. If I don't go along... Not sure what will happen, either take everything anyway in a more forceful way or actually reaching out for the guns and kill me... Though I could talk myself out of that... I think...' She saw two people cowering behind the sync station. 'Everyone is acting pretty serious about all this. Perhaps this whole thing is more than just a game...' She took a little look around. But didn't find what she was looking for. She did find a large door that led to a different chamber. But it was closed, and certainly would draw attention to it if she attempted to open it. Everyone was very alert and most likely all of them want to escape. She disliked the idea to try and cooperate with everyone. In her mind she imagined herself taking the lead and tell everyone of an escape plan. But like always, whenever she had an idea, she kept it shut, it became a second nature to her to not call out her opinion.

"Hey, you there!" the cop with bullhorn screamed at Ash as he saw the boy take off, heading for the room that presumably contained the stairs that led up to the balcony. "Where do you think you're going?" He didn't wait for Ash to respond before giving out orders, as he honestly didn't expect the boy to just stop and turn around. "What are you standing around for!?" he barked at several other officers. "Get him!" A group of police officers broke from the ranks, chasing down the boy that was heading into the other room, pushing and shoving anyone who got in their way, and starting to cause somewhat of a panic.

Luke and Kat

Luke and Kat had just been waiting, silent and unmoving. Luke could only hope that the cops couldn't see him where he was, because he was sure to be recognized if they did. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he caught sight of some guy rushing towards the door on the far end of the wall, and then several cops started run after him, apparently not caring as they knocked several people to the ground. Then, suddenly, a massive,  pounding headache overcame Luke, and he instinctively reached for his head, doubling over in an immense wave of pain.

"Luke!? Are you alright!?" Kat hissed quietly between clenched teeth. If this was another anxiety attack, things could go very badly, very quickly.

Soul

As that Ash guy from earlier ran from the crowd, taking several officers and nearly everyone's attention with him, Soul pulled his hood over his head. "New strategy. Try to escape. If I'm caught, I'll flash some ID and offer to have SyncTech donate to the force." He looked behind him and saw the flashing of police lights through a broken window. He dove through the shards of glass, only ripping his hoodie slightly. He saw a few police cars and quite a few policemen, but hopefully none had seen him. He kept crouched as he tried to stick to the shadows, hoping his black hoodie could blend him in. "Now to get home." He slipped his Sync Band farther up his arm in case any of the officers thought to check him.

@ Soul

As a large number of cops surrounded the building, a boy in a hoodie flew out of a window. He stood up and attempted to seemingly push his astral band up his arm, but it was no use, the building was surrounded by cops and police cars, and there was nowhere for him to go. One of the officers flashed a light on him.

"Hold it right there!" the officer commended firmly. "Going somewhere?"

Yume Tsuki

A lot of noise came from the entrance and Yume was just about to look up what was happening. In a flash Yume saw someone running by. Followed by a cop basically bashing her out of the way making her fall down. She felt hitting someone else during her fall. "Sheez. No manners at all." She mumbled irritated while getting back up her feet. She had revenge all planned out to make him trip on his way back. But knew she would never dare to try something like that.

Nexalas

His eyes widened and he immediately stood up as police flooded the arena. He looked up at the balcony, but the triad were nowhere to be seen. He cursed under his breathe, realizing they've been abandoned.
Okay, don't panic, just gather with the group and make our escape. If we don't attract any attention, we might be able to esca-
And then as he thought out a plan, Ash proceeded to bolt to the balcony, grabbing everyone's attention and having over half a dozen policemen following after him.
... Why do I even bother?
He gritted his teeth, not knowing if he should look for Misty and Efialties, Misty could probably handle it, but Efialties.... He bit his lip, seeing a way out through the window, but he decided to wait and see what Ash is trying to do.

Soul

Soul was suddenly covered in the light of justice. "Craaaap." He donned a frantic face and pulled his hood back, and jogged towards the officer. He tried to emulate panic, making his voice crack on purpose and even trying to grasp the officers arm for support. "Sir, please, I didn't mean to get anyone in trouble, I didn't even know this was happening!" He gasped for air, wetting his throat. "I used to be a Battler but when the whole thing was banned I gave up, I swear, but I kept the bracelet for the memories!" He pulled up his sleeve to show it. No use in hiding it anymore, the light was on him as soon as he had shifted it in the first place.

He stepped away from the officer and partially composed himself, still letting his voice crack now and then. "I was hanging out with a friend who said we could meet up with a few of his guys and he drove us here! I didn't know what was going on, he led me in here, said he knew I liked Battling and brought me here for fun, and then he left me in the crowd!"

He drooped his head in shame, actual shame. His story sounded so stupid, at least to himself. He could lie to his parents, but to someone he didn't know? "Please, don't arrest me sir. Call my parents, tell them I was caught sneaking around and have them handle me. Give me community service for a lifetime, I'll even have my father donate to the force! Anything, please! I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't want to be here!" He wrung his hands, hard, trying to feel something other than fear and the real panic that was settling into his mind.

Dagen

Misty found Dagen and motioned him to follow. He didn't hesitate to, being sure to stay hidden among the crowd. She led him towards a more hidden part of the room. He whispered "Why is Ash going towards the back? Shouldn't we try to get out of this place?" He kept a sharp eye out, in case any cop tried anything funny towards Misty.

Salvador

Sal sat down on the ground, meditating. He figured he was going to be here a while, so why not get in tune with his astral while he waits. He drowned out the noise around him and found himself looking through the eyes of Big Daddy, fighting off a group of splicers in rapture. One of the splicers was trying to shoot at him, but he was able to stop them with an electrobolt and drive a drill through their brain. Sal took note of that, stun them and run them seemed to very effective in that world, so it might come in handy in future fights.

Ash
Ash could hear the angry shouts of the people as he dashed by them, he could hear the cops yelling for him to stop and turn himself over, he could hear their heavy footsteps as they pursued him and shoved and pushed past the crowd; but most of all, he could hear his Dad in his head, telling him how the police were only trying to help, like his father had so many times when he was little. the only difference was, no matter how much it pained him, he didn't listen. His Dad would understand, he had to get his friends out of here. It was his fault they were here. His fault Dagen knew about it, his fault Efialtes showed up... His fault Misty was here.

So he kept running, each second bringing him closer and closer to the door, to Red. And then, he fell. One of the officers had broken away from the group, and had gotten close enough to grab his arm, bringing Ash and himself down in the process. The raven haired teenager attempted to scramble up to his feet and out of the man's reach, but soon the rest of the officers dispatched to catch him where there, an d he was lifted up and slammed against the wall, hands shoved roughly behind his back. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law..."  The officer that had pressed him against the wall began reading him his rights as he slapped a pair of handcuffs around his wrist, but Ash wasn't listening, he had gone limp, because seconds ago he had seen something.  He had seen Red, dressed in his jacket and cap, in the corner of the room. And Red had smiled.

Misty
The place seemed to descend into silence as the police grabbed Ash, or maybe it was her imagination. She'd watched with a heavy heart as they'd grabbed Ash and brought him to the ground, then slammed him against the wall roughly and cuffed him. he had looked so lifeless, so broken as he gazed into space. It made her heartache. She wanted to march over there and scream at the cop to let him go, to not touch him again, but she couldn't. They'd catch her too.  She began to chant it over and over again in her head, not to run over there, but soon her feet were moving towards Ash, leaving Dagen behind. She couldn't help it. She couldn't bring herself to leave Ash to face all this alone, even if it got her into trouble.

So she marched over, ignoring the look Ash was giving her that clearly said "RUN NOW". She wouldn't leave him.

(Gimme a break, tired and this was the best I could do.)

Stan Masters

"Stand down officers. I'll take it from here." Around the room, every cop stood at attention, even the ones who cuffed Ash. Stan Masters walked calmly into the room. He looked confident, yet battle weary, the years having caught up to him greatly. His once black hair was now full white, and he even packed on a few pounds. He traded his glasses for contacts, which seemed to be the only improvement. He walked over to Ash, and released him. He then turned to the crowd. "All of you, get to your homes. Forget what happened here, and don't pull out those synch bands again. Next time, I won't be able to come and save you. One of the officers tried to retort, but Stan stopped him. Trust me, none of these fighters are any real threat. That left a while ago. Everyone, to your homes, now. He turned back to Ash. Except you. I need to speak with you. I'm sure you know why. Everyone started to leave. Stan was still nearby Ash, making sure he didn't try to run.

Dagen

Dagen grabbed onto Misty, knowing full well what would happen. "Not the time Misty. Seriously think. How can you help if you're arrested too?" Suddenly, the doors flew open, and an old man walked in. Dagen could sense he was high authority. And we're screwed.... But then, the man said some orders to the cops, let Ash go, and told everyone to go home. He stayed over by Ash, having said something over to him. Problem solved, I think.

Salvador

Salvador got up, and simply walked out. He headed straight to home, not caring what is on the way.

Luke and Kat

They both left for home. Confused as to what just happened.

Ash and Misty
Ash was quiet after Stan released him from the handcuffs, eyes glazed over. He'd messed up and gotten caught, he'd failed. Misty, Efialtes, Nexalas, Dagen... They'd counted on him, and he'd failed.  If the old man hadn't been there, they'd all be in jail right now. Guess he could chalk that up as another thing he owed to his Dad's connections. And he sank deeper into depression, tuning out from the world, forgetting where he was.

"ASHTON HAKIMA!" Misty stormed past the police gathered around Ash, and then past Stan himself, drawing her hand back and slapping Ash across the face, hard. "What in the hell were you thinking? You don't run from police!" The redhead boomed, causing several police around her to wince, and one to smile fondly at some odd memory. Her breathing was labored, and her hand fell to her side, clenching into a fist. her face was red from anger, and all of it was directed at the man rubbing his cheek in front of her.

"What was that for, Myst?" Ash demanded, rubbing fiercely at the large red hand imprint on his cheek and glaring down at her. He was trying to help her get away! "If you woulda just listened to me, you woulda gotten away from the cops!" At the mention of escaping, the cop who had handcuffed him tensed, ready to pursue him, but did not go any farther.

"Ash, listen to yourself!" Misty snapped, resisting the urge to hit him again. "You used to respect these people! Ash, Stan was talking to you and you didn't even respond. Y'know, your Uncle Stan, your Dad's best friend?" The redhead paused from her rant to look at Stan and smile, muttering a thanks for saving them.

John & Midou

Rushing through the streets running as fast as possible John could finally see the Automate Factory in the distance. Praying in his head he wasn't too late he picked up his pace to get there a quickly as possible. When he made it in front of the factory, he was completely out of breathing with sweat dripping off his face. He hadn't noticed the police he was bent over trying to catch his breathe. "I'm not.....to....late....am I?" John looked up and saw everyone pouring outside the factory walking right past him.

Midou walking outside the factory passing John responded to his question saying "Sorry kid, looks like you missed the big show." before walking off to his gambling partner who had still been holding the cash he had borrowed. "So what are we going to do now" said the partner who was worried about what to do with his event off. Midou looked back at the cops, although it didn't show on his face he was furious. He had high expectation for this event to make some cash and this certainly messed with his plans. Looking back to his partner Midou directed him to follow. "Come on. There's more than one way to make some quick cash in this city." After that Midou and his partner walked off following the crowd away from the factory.

Back to John, after hearing what Midou had said he fell to his knees completely depressed and disappointed with himself? Tears started to well up in his eye but John bit his lip trying to keep them in. He couldn't believe he had missed such an event after building so much anticipation to fight against new astrals. He started punching the ground in frustration with himself before he finally looks up and took notice to the authorities hanging around the entrance. "Whoa. What are the cops doing here?"

Stan didn't even wince when Mistyle slapped Ash. Come along Ash. I want to speak with you, in private. He gave a reassuring look to Misty. You too Misty. I think it's time we all had a talk. He lead the way to an old office space.

Dagen

Dagen decided to wait in the car. He had no business with the old guy, and they both looked like they knew him, so everything must have been alright. He didn't bother to touch anything, but took a nap in the back seat.

What's going on? Are you okay?" "I'm fine Nila..." Yume could hear a sigh of relief. "That's good... What happened, did someone make sure you could escape?" "I'll explain that later. This isn't the right place..." The crowd scattered out a bit more outside. She took a look around, it was true, the whole building was surrounded by cops, and not even a mouse would be able to pass them. Then she saw the one she battled before. She wondered if he would also be dismissed. Then she reminded herself, the police only has to rebember their faces and then be able to catch those later. It gave her an uneasy feeling pulling the hood of her coat more over her head while heading home.

He was extremely tense, Ashton was captured and he was sure that they were all going to get arrested. That is, until a new face appeared and told the officers to stand down and told everyone else to go home.
Okay, so it turned out to be best case scenario... however...
He looked up at the balcony, noting that there was no one up there, as expected.
There was no way that this was all coincidence. We were all meant to be locked up, or worse...
He looked around and noted that all the people in his gang were fine, save for Ashton who ran to the balcony like an idiot. It looked like at most he was just going to get yelled at, so Nexalas relaxed and left the factory, deciding it's best to just listen to the officer and go home quickly.
I'm going to need to be more careful from now on, the triad can't be trusted. There's obviously something going on here...

Soul watched as an older man pulled up in his police vehicle and stepped out of it. As he walked towards the entrance of the factory, he waved his hands towards the officers outside, to which they slackened, and Soul took a step back. After a few minutes, officers and battlers alike began to pour out of the building, and Soul could see the girl he battled along with a few other battlers he remembered from the ice cream parlor. "So much for nothing." He backed away from the officer, nodded in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Sir." He began to walk home, thankful that nothing more had happened.

Ash and Misty followed, though not quietly. "Myst, I was just trying to help!" The raven haired ten swore for the thousandth time, voice rising in irritation. Misty's tone rose to match his. "Of course you were, because your plans of helping have turned out so well before!" Before the argument could continue, they reached the office Stan had lead them to, and even though it was against the duo's nature, they fell silent. The mood seemed to change instantly, lightheartedness and irritation quickly being replaced by a grave silence.

"What did you want, old man?" Ash asked quietly, hands in his pockets.

Stan stayed quiet from the remark. He knew Ash, and he was acting out because of the day. After taking a careful look at the two, he took a deep breath. "Ash, Misty, I thought I asked that you stay away from the underground? I wasn't just breathing hot air. It's too dangerous, especially with the rise in deaths lately." He made sure to keep his voice calm and collected, but there was a crack of worry in it. "I don't want to see either of you get hurt. And I'm saying this now so it gets said: You two are my priority. Ash, your father was a like a brother to me, and that makes you family to me. Misty, you're important to Ash, and therefore, important to me. If anything were to happen I don't know..." He stopped, taking another deep breath. He collected himself, having remembered Daylin and the last time he ever seen him. I'm not going to say it again. Stay away from the underground. I don't mind if you two battle with your friends in the privacy of your homes, I never had a problem with that, but please don't go near these thugs. Next time, I won't be able to wave a hand and have anyone let you go, I'm going to get a backlash by simply letting everyone go. Now, promise me you'll listen to what I'm saying.

Some strange guy had approached Midou and his associate. The guy talked funny and Midou couldn't recall seeing him with the factory. The guy started talking sounded like he was trying to sell Midou something. Midou partner was a bit off put by the man and started backing away whispering to Midou "Shouldn't we get going? We don't really have time to listen this pitch whatever he's selling."

Although his partner was right they should be moving along but the stranger had a mysterious vibe to him and it had caught Midou's interest. He looked to his partner saying "You go on ahead and see if you can find anything going on downtown. I'll check and see what our friend here has to offer."  Midou's partner listened to him not really wanting to stick around near the guy any longer while Midou followed the man to see what exactly he was giving away.

Ash and Misty
"Old Man, I'll be fine. I had that situation with the cops under control." The remarked earned Ash a smack to the back of the head from one red haired female, and he sighed. "Okay, so you saved my butt. Thanks, but I'm not gonna stop battling here." He paused, burying his head in his hands. After a pregnant pause, he spoke. "Old Man, hypopossumly, if I battled and got memories of being murdered by claw troopers, would you know anything about it? I had some winged wolf with me too."

Even though Ash's voice was quite and lax, he stood at attention, remembering the flashback that had caused him to fly into a rage like it had happened moments ago, and it still made his stomach turn. It had been so horrible, so cold, and yet as he died he'd felt accomplished. Proud. Content, like he'd done something he'd been trying for all his life. Like he'd finally made up some fatal mistake.

Misty opened her mouth to snap at Ash for using the word 'hypothetically', and mispronouncing it horribly, but one look at him froze her. He seemed so confused, and today's events were beginning to show on him. There were deep bags under his bloodshot eyes, and his forehead was covered by a thin sheen of sweat. His jacket, even though it had been washed, still held stains from the alley's muck from where he'd been fighting early, and his nose was still red and blotchy. He looked like he'd been run over. So instead of being the fierce and witty redhead that had Ash had grown to love as his best friend, she showed her very rare softer and helpful side, chiming in "When it happens, his hair gets this weird blonde tint to it, and his eyes go really blue, like ice. He almost looks like Link."

@Blades

Stan could hardly believe it. Ash had seen what happened to Warren, the one battle that kept the shade from stopping the fusion of his astral with Daylin's. "It seems your astral is telling you something, Ash. I would listen to it, it may be a warning of some sort. As for looking like Link, that I'm not sure of. I'll need to look into it." He decided to spare him the details of that day, seeing as he seemed to have enough. "Now, i want you two head home. Ash, let your mom know I'll be over for dinner tomorrow. I was too busy to reply to her invitation today. If anything comes up, I'll let you know." He got up to leave the room. Don't stay out too late. He got ready to leave them to discuss in private.

@Humen

"Bits and bobs and trinkets. I have them all... but you seem to be a man of fine taste." He pulled out a ring, the gem looked like en eyeball. "This is The Fate's Eye. It may not look like much, no sir, but it has great power within it. I can tell you're an Astral fighter. This ring, by simply having it on you, will allow you to hit your opponent where it hurts, and with ease. Almost like magic. Poof, hit, zap, hit, everywhere a hit, hit. You'll be the Old McDonald of Attacks. The Shakespeare of damage, the mighty no. 1 is all I'm saying. Yours, for a price of three hundred. Three hundred what you say? Well, this world ain't free, so money is the key. What do you say stranger?"

Post by: The-Blades-slave on December 24, 2013, 03:04:55 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash nodded solemnly, intent on finding out what Link meant to tell him. He would put his all into it, like always, even if it felt like the weight on his shoulders was too much, even if his metaphorical knees were buckling, Ash would try. He looked at Misty, and staring into her worry filled eyes, he made one more promise; He would make her smile, and get rid of that unhappiness she harbored. So, he suddenly smiled the wide grin he was known for, and laughed in an attempt to lighten the mood. "Well, Old Man, we should get going, Mom's probably worried." And then he scooped Misty up and tossed her over his shoulder, ignoring her squeals of protest. The redhead kicked and screamed demanding she be put down, but Ash's expression did not waver as he carried her out of the room, and soon her protests turned into laughter, though she still feebly tried to get him to put her down.

"Myst, how did I get so much taller than you?" The thought struck Ash as he exited the warehouse, the cool night air biting into his skin. He had finally let Misty down after she had threatened to kick him in his stones if he didn't (she'd do it, too), and walking beside er and realizing how light she had been, he realized how much they'd changed over the years. She'd once been taller than him, and to his embarrassment, stronger than him, even if he'd always called her a runt. (It was the only insult he could think of, and it always made him wonder how she could come up with as many as she did to insult him.) And then, like a semi-truck slamming into a cement wall, it hit him. They weren't kids anymore.

Misty was 20 as of three months ago, and he was 19, 20 in 6 months. They weren't the little 13 year old kids who argued and screamed about everything... Okay, maybe they still did that, but they weren't little anymore. He was 6' and still had a couple of inches to go, and was not scrawny anymore. Much like his Dad he'd taken to the gym like it was his second home, and though not Salvador-Macho-Man-Savage ripped, he was well-built. He still sported the ball-cap of his childhood, containing his messy raven locks, but his t-shirt had been replaced by a jacket zipped up half-way and a black t-shirt, and his shorts had been replaced by jeans. He'd grown up a lot, he realized.

And so had Misty, he realized as as she looked over at him. Her hair was falling loose from her ponytail and into her eyes, and he realized for the first time how vibrant her seafoam green eyes were. She was shockingly pale next to him, her ebony skin flawless and beautiful, and her parted lips practically screamed-

"Ash! Are you listening to me?" Misty snapped her fingers in front of his face, breaking him from his trance. "Huh?" The redhead sighed, but she was smiling. "I said you were taller than me three years ago." She paused, one hand on her hip and the other resting by her side. "We've known each other a long time, haven't we?"

Ash nodded quietly, mentally berating himself for having such strange thoughts about his best friend. He was horrible, what kind of boy checked out there best friend of 8 years? Even if they were abnormally ho-Gyah! He was doing it again! He shook his head, and pulled his keys from his pocket. "We're here." He unlocked the car, surprised to find Dagen asleep in the back seat, and then as Misty slid in, he started the car. The engine roared to life, 'causing the lingering people in the parking lot to jump, but it soon lulled itself to a deep purr, which was the only sound in the quiet car. It wasn't awkward, just a content silence. Or at least, content on Misty's part, ash was still screaming at himself mentally for looking at his best friend in such a weird way. After all, who did stuff like that?

Midou

The stranger started talking weird again and he rhymed for reason. He pulled out a ring  which  to be frank looked like some took out someone’s eye and replaced it for the gem but that was probably Midou's imagination making it more grotesque then it was. The man started going on about how the ring could improve Midou's accuracy and made some pretty weird comparisons to its power. Midou was skeptical of what the guy was saying but he decided keep an open mind about for this.

"Haha, please man if something like that exist someone in the triad would already have it. But if what you say is true......hmmm."

Midou thought it over think if three hundred buck would really be worth it. Midou decided to take a chance with the strange man he didn't really care about spending three hundred bucks since although his partner didn't know it at the time but Midou had only gave him half the money he had gotten from the loan shark's downtown. He kept the other half for himself which only amounted to a couple hundred bucks. Midou was hoping to make enough at the event to pay it back the next day and still have enough leftover but that didn't seem like it was going to happen. Midou dug into his pockets pulling out a large bundle of cash holding it out to the man before giving him a friendly warning." Ok pal I'll buy your little ring but if this turns out to be some sort of play you'll force me to come back to you for a refund. And trust me I don't think either of us wants that little transaction to go down. Now didn't you say something about buy one, get one free."

@Humen

The stranger happily traded for his trinket. "Pleasure doing business. I'll even throw in this rope. Doesn't have a name yet, but even it holds power. You will be able to immobilize any astral mid fight. Guaranteed. After the exchange, the stranger did a final wave, and disapeared. On the ground was a note: All you have to do to is wear these items to make them work. Have a nice day, and please shop with us again.

Dagen

Dagen jolted awake when the engine roared. "Who, what, where?! Oh, hey guys. I'm guessing things went well?" Dagen wiped the sleep from his eyes while groggily putting his seatbelt on.

Efialtes and Lai

Efialtes hadn't been reacting to anything. To be truthful, he hadn't even heard when the man had sent the police away. He had spaced out, he was terrified, and could do nothing. Until someone tapped his shoulder. It was his friend, Lai. She didn't really say anything, but more grabbed him, and got him up on his feet. Efialtes had a terrified look on his face for a split second. And then? He noticed the lack of something. The police. This must have put some confidence in him, because he laughed a bit, his goofy smile returning. He started to walk out, talking a very small bit with Lai. "So, think we'll manage to get to our homes without getting lost?"

Lai spoke, her voice fairly quiet, and tone seemingly off. It seemed she still wasn't comfortable with the area and the people."...After how this day has gone? Doubt it."

Efialtes shook his head, as he split away from the other. "Well, I'm off to my place. See you tomorrow or whenever."

Lai nodded, as she started going another direction. "Yeah, see you tomorrow or whenever.

Yume Tsuki

Yume woke up with a shock. She had dreamt of the evening. But the scenario was different, she had fought back to the police and was shot down. She looked at the window. Between the curtains she could see the grey sky. "Morning..." She dropped back down. Not wanting to get up. She was wondering if continuing with astral battles would be a good idea. Especially after last night's trouble. If it wasn't for that old man nobody would've made it out. Then another thought slipped into her mind. "What if... Someone told the police about the tournament. Someone among us." "Seems ridiculous if you ask me... There is no personal gain into it." Yume jumped up with the sudden reaction she got back but recovered quickly. "Jeez, I keep forgetting you can talk to me and hear me. Anyways, it could've been a trap right from the start. Though that seems unlikely. Maybe someone who could ditch jail after being caught." "Do you trust nobody?" "I've lost trust long ago... Everyone appeared to be a liar." "Yet you still accepted the sync band from a complete stranger." Yume sighed getting out of bed opening the curtains. It seemed like it would rain soon. She took a shower before preparing breakfast.

After she was finished she stared at the sync band for a moment lying on the table. She decided to take it with her. She put her coat on, her sleeve covering her sync band nicely. Then she grabbed the umbrella just in case it would rain. She felt like taking a walk through the usual route. She liked walking through the rain. Not many people, and a silence only broken by the drops of water hitting the surface. Walking out of town she smelt the scent of the forest nearby. Following the sandy path she entered the forest.

Dagen

Dagen rose out of his makeshift bed. He took a look around the warehouse. Last night, Ash brought him here and said he can use it as a home. The place was mostly empty, except the couches and training equipment scattered around. There was even a TV, so at least he had entertainment. "Well, better get to work. Don't want it to seem like I don't appreciate what Ash did." Dagen decided the place could use a good cleaning, and looked around for supplies. He managed to scrape together a few cleaning products, but his last job had him improvise, so he was used to this kind of situation. He got right to cleaning.

Salvador

Sal was in the forest, punching a tree. He rose each morning to do this, focusing his strikes precisely, loud pounding being heard around him. He was too caught up to notice anything, not even a squirrel running past his feet. He was thinking too much about last night. He had one shot to prove himself and take on the triad again, and the cops ruined it. He had been in the underground for years, clawing his way to where he was. He became notorious for his brute strength and tactics, yet he could never prove he was the best. He kept on with his training.

Soul

Soul turned to look out the window, seeing the first light of dawn crawling it's way in. It quickly faded, being replaced by thunderclouds. "Guess it's going to rain later. The thunder will be nice to watch." He had gotten home late, (luckily his parents weren't at the door to meet him), and he decided to stay up and tinker with some of his own gadgets. Most of them didn't work, but their ideas were what kept him working. A miniature hover car, a self recharging battery, a notepad and headband that read your brainwaves and wrote them down.

He was up all night messing around with these little things, and none of them worked yet, but the real reason why he was up was because he was thinking about the Underground, and if he'd get another chance to battle. "I understand that the cops are trying to keep us safe, but honestly, who'd want to kill over something like this? I just want something to do!" Soul put his tools down and leaned back in his chair, deciding too take a break, maybe a nap.

"Well we do have something to do, your dad's got all those game's he's made, why not try those again?" MegaMan's clear voice pushed through the cloudiness of Soul's brain. It had been a while since he had contacted Soul like that, he had almost forgotten that it was possible. "Because of just that, it's again. I've already played through all of them." There was a pause while MegaMan thought. "You could try online gaming, or go on some bidding website and try and get older generations of games to play." Soul sat up and leaned forward again. "Not a bad idea." He pulled himself over to his computer and started typing away.

Yume Tsuki

After walking for a bit through the forest Yume suddenly heard the sound of pounding in the distance. 'That's unusual... I wonder where it comes from.' Following the sound she found the source. A rather large man was punching a tree. From the rhythmic attacks she knew he was most likely training. He seemed very familiar too. Yume wasn't sure from where. She remained on a distance trying to figure out where she had seen him. 'Good morning sir, I have the feeling I know you from somewhere.' She quickly shook of the thought. 'No, that's a stupid thing to say... But it's awkward to say nothing... But what should I say? Argh! Stupid humans.' She then noticed a mark on his arm in the shape of a drill. 'Oh right! He's also an astral figher, I saw him on the tournament. That's why he seemed familiar.' She still remained quiet, still watching him until she realized how rude it was to keep staring. So she was about to turn around and continue her walk...

Nexalas

Nexalas groggily sat up on his bed, looking into the mirror across the room and seeing his nasty bed head while wiping the sleep from his eyes. He then proceeded to go with his daily routine of fixing his hair, making breakfast, and then coding some new programs.
Let's see... Just have to fix a few lines of code and-
His thought process was broken by his phone ringing, and he jumped in surprise. Its so quiet at his house that sometimes even the smallest noise can surprise him. He quickly answered the phone.
Hello?
Hey Nexalas, I managed to get everything ready. You wouldn't believe the places I had to go to in order to get this part.
Nexalas smiled, recognizing his friends voice immediately.
Good, by the way are you free? I'll have to introduce you to everyone.
There was a pause.
Are they loud?
Only one of them, I think I've told you about him. I've given you the address already, just remember to get there around the time on the card.
Alright, see you there.
Then Nexalas hung up, and proceeded to text a message to Ashton.
[I have a friend I want to introduce, might be a new member. We'll be at the usual place at the usual time.
He then put away his phone and proceeded to fix his errors, having some time before he has to meet with the gang today.

Ash and Misty
Sunlight filtered through the blinds, shining onto Ash's back/ The raven haired teenager had his face buried in his pillow, and was snoring loudly. So ya want to be a master... The phone on the nightstand beside his bed went off, vibrating and blaring his ringtone. Do you have the skills to be.... He rolled over, oblivious hitting the snooze button on his alarm clock, which fell off the desk and busted. The ringtone continued to blare, and after a few more minutes, Ash groaned and sat up. He blinked a few times, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, then grabbed his phone and read the obnoxious text that had woken him up.


I have a friend I want to introduce, might be a new member. We'll be at the usual place at the usual time.

There was a pregnant pause, and then Ash leaped out of bed, scrambling towards a pile of clothes on the floor and grabbing a shirt. he sniffed it, then tossed it down and picked up another. He repeated the process several times, eventually finding a t-shirt that didn't stink, and then grabbed a pair of pants. He leaned out the door of his room to yell down the hall, to his guest room, "We gotta be somewhere in thirty minutes, get up Misty!" And then rushed off to the bathroom to shower

The aforementioned had been up for a while, and had already shower and gotten dressed, and was sitting downstairs in the living room, drinking a cup of coffee and chatting with Ash's Mom. Thanks to his obnoxiously loud voice, she heard him. With an apology to his mother, and a thanks for allowing her to stay over the night before since they had gotten home so late (to which his Mom responded "It's no trouble at all, Misty, really. You're like the daughter I never had.") , she stood up and retrieved her phone from the kitchen table. She sent a text to Efialtes to get ready, she and Ash would pick him up in twenty minutes. Then she finished her coffee, and pulled a scrunchy from her pocket, putting her hair in her trade mark pony-tail. She was ready.

Midou

After talking with that guy Midou had wandered the streets looking for a place to make some easy money. Eventually the sun started to rise   so Midou had decided to give it a rest. But Midou didn't feel like going home to his dingy apartment, going there would only upset him. Midou was tired of looking at the city and decided to wander out in the woods and relieve some stress. Midou didn't come out to the forest that often whenever he did there was a weird banging sound ringing through it. Along with the constant chirping of birds and the rest of the natural sounds that came with nature the forest could get really irritating for Midou. But even with those minor faults the forest was an isolated place where Midou wouldn't be interrupted. Midou gathered up some twigs and dried leaves placing them all in a pile before taking out his handy lighter and started kindling. Midou sat back against a tree a watched the flame he made just burn. As Midou stared he could feel himself drifting away as the world around him fell silent? Everything started to fade away as Midou stared at the fire until he finally shut his eyes.

When Midou open his eyes he was in an entirely different place although Midou was familiar with it. There were old looking buildings help up with pillars all on fire. People all dressed in tunics and togas running through the streets screaming and begging for mercy from different type’s gods. But Midou didn't really care he'd seen this all before he just walk past them ignoring their pleas. At the center of all the destruction and panic was Midou's astral, Salamander, laughing his usual maniacal laugh as he burned down more homes. Midou stood behind him waiting to see when he'd stop enjoying his own mayhem. “Hey, you about done yet we've got some things we need to discuss." Salamander turned to Midou with a bright smile across his face. “And to whom should I thank for this unexpected visit." Midou looked with discomfort at Salamander he never liked being around the guy that much but he had to get some. Midou pulled the ring he got out from his pocket and showed it to Salamander. “I got this ring form some guy he said it could help us in our matches. He called it the Fate's Eye."

 Salamander took the ring and examined it before tossing it back at Midou. "Fate's eye huh? Nah couldn't be any way a mortal much less a kid like u could get your hands on something like that." Midou looked at Salamander it seemed he knew something regarding the name but didn't want to say anything about it. "You know for an astral created by gods u don’t seem to know much about anything."  Salamander turned to Midou surprised at his remark before he started to laugh. "Sorry kid but our arrangement only extends to me helping you fight anything else isn't my problem. Now if you'll pardon me I’m going to go back to enjoying myself." Saying that Salamander started to shoot fire, burning anything in his path leaving Midou behind. Midou just sat back and watch Salamander's carnage be unleashes on the city waiting until he finally woke up from this dream.

Nexalas looked at the clock, he only had about twenty minutes till he had to be there. Sighing, he decided to put off his coding for later and shut everything off. He packed what he needed , and locked the door behind him. He started walking to the hideout, which wasn't that far from where he was.

Denis

Denis got his motorcycle ready, read the address Nexalas gave him and closed his garage door behind him. He was nervous, but at the very least there aren't that many people in the group. He sighed, got on his motorcycle, and drove away.

Efialtes

Efialtes had gotten home pretty late the night before, his parents would have probably gotten onto him for  being out so late, if it wasn't for the fact he had said he was at the library the entire time, studying for the science project he was supposed to be doing with Lai, which was an obvious lie, but it somehow worked. He had been up most of the night, thinking about had gone on previously. Twice in a day, and the first two times he had been in direct contact with the police, in something to do with astral battling. He had gone to sleep on a bit of a bad note, leaving a few text books out to make it look like he had been up  studying or something. He had been up for a bit when he heard a low buzz from a jacket hanging on the wall, his jacket. He checked, it was his phone. The battery was almost dead, but that didn't matter much, he was just going to plug it in later. Until he read the text. It was a text from misty, saying to get ready, because they'd be picking him up twenty minutes. He got ready, looking at the clock. He still had a bit of time, but didn't have anything to do with said time, anything he could start to do, would take too long. So he really just kinda sat by the window, and waited for the car to pull up. He wasn't too keen to go outside for a long period of time, it looked like it could start pouring any minute now.

@Yuki

Sal was done with training and turned around to leave when he noticed a girl in front of him. She seemed to be getting ready to go, but he thought he could get her attention. "Hey." His voice came out gruff, but what he really wanted to know was how long she was watching him before he noticed. He never liked talking to people, mainly because he can't handle people that act like morons. He always let his actions, mainly his fists, do the talking. He felt pretty violated that someone would find him training and try to sneak away.

You seemed busy training." 'And it seemed very rude to just keep staring at people so I was about to leave you alone.' She said. From the front he looked more intimidating and he looked like the type that would let his actions speak for him. But she kept her usual blank face on.

Ash and Misty
"C'mon Myst, we gotta go!" Ash was sitting impatiently at the foot of the stairs, leaning against the wall and glaring at the clock as it ticked closer to 10:30, which would mean he was late to get Efialtes. And though Ash was unorganized, unkempt, and often considered irresponsible, he was never late.

"I'm coming, I just forgot to grab Sheldon yesterday when we left, and you know he doesn't like to be left behind." The redhead walked down the stairs painfully slow, clutching Sheldon the endangered turtle between her arms. He was easy to hold, barely larger than Ash's hand, with a black honeycomb shell and deep blue colored skin. It'd been a head ache getting him for Misty, but Ash had been unable to tell her no.

"If that thing wasn't on the endangered list, I'd hurt him." Ash muttered under his breath, earning himself a slap to the head from Misty. He growled, but like always, didn't hit her back. He'd gotten a lecture from his Dad when he turned fourteen on why he couldn't hit Misty anymore, and it had been very awkward. He wouldn't put it past his Dad to return from the grave just to make him feel awkward... He couldn't help but shove a lump at the back of his throat down remembering his Dad, but Misty broke him from his reverie saying they had to go, and grabbing his hand and pulling him to the door.

Yelling a goodbye to his Mom, they rushed to his car and set out of the driveway, headed towards Efialtes' house.

"So, Ash, know where we're going?"

"No, I thought you did!"

"ASHTON HAKIMA YOU IDIOT!"

He had five minutes left though...Four more minutes go by, and the sleek black and blue sportscar pulled up. He shook his head, ONE DAY, ash would be late...One day... Efialtes climbed into the car, a confused tone in his voice, mixed with sarcasm. "...Ash. Are you okay. You're never this close to being late. Are you sick. Ash. Are you dying."

Nexalas

As he walked to the hideout, he looked at his watch. Ten minutes early as usual, but it didn't look like anyone was here. As he stepped to the door, he could've sworn he heard a vacuum cleaner, and opened the warehouse door, looked inside... and dropped his laptop bag in shock.

Denis

He was driving around the city, looking for the address, completely lost. He sighed, this always happens when he tries following directions... and when it happens, following a random person seems to work as well. He spotted an out of the ordinary car, one that's black and with neon blue striped, and Denis figured it was the best one to follow. And with that, he caught up with the speeding car and proceeded to follow right behind it.

Ash and Misty
Ash pressed his foot down on the gas pedal, the wind roaring in his ear as it whipped by his open window, drowning out the growl of the engine. One hand gripped the steering wheel, the other continued to shift gears as he went faster and faster, weaving past cars at speeds that would make most vomit. It gave him a rush, knowing one false move could end it all for him lie this. It was like astral battling, but a million times more dangerous. It gave him more of a thrill to raise the speed, pedal slowly being pressed to the floor as he neared a 150 miles per hour, steadily rising....

"Ash! Ash slow down!" A voice broke through to him, clearing the fog that had begun to cloud his thoughts. One foot lightened on the gas, shifting gears as he winded down his speed, coming to rest at 85 mph on his speedometer. "Ash what were you thinking? That was ridiculous! We could have died! Efialtes could have died!" Misty clutched Sheldon tight against her chest, running a hand across his calloused shell soothingly, trying to coax him out of shell. After a moment of silence, she looked back at Efialtes to make sure he was alright, then glared out the window. He'd earned himself the silent treatment. And Misty had never lost the silent game.

The ride was painfully quiet from then on, an occasional soothing whisper from Misty to Sheldon, who finally gained the courage to peek his head out of his shell and nuzzle her cheek. "We're here." Ash opened his car door, pulling the keys out and slamming it shut. He waited for Misty to get out, trying to apologize, but she ignored him and stormed inside the warehouse, cheerfully greeting Dagen and taking her seat in her chair. (She had brushed past exalas, who was still standing stunned in the door.)

Ash followed her, head down, then slumped down on one of the couches, muttering a hello to Dagen. Even as his head hit the pillow he knew the warehouse's knew tenant had been busy, because the couch smelled clean, and the table in the middle of all the furniture was no longer dusty, the magazines stacked neatly, and Misty's book on winged astral's sitting in the middle of it.

Dagen

Dagen had finished up his work, and waved back to Misty. He was proud of his project. Everything was clean, neat, and orderly. Even the windows had a new shine to them. He sat down, smiling, but tired out. "This place was not easy to clean, but I did it. Even more awesome now. Thanks Ash, and you as well Misty." He looked around and seen the other fighters from the underground. "Oh, hello."

Efialtes

Efialtes had been near cowering during the entire car ride. Upon the car stopping, he near flung himself out the door, walking around a bit and glaring at the car itself. "Never again. No more cars." He shook his head before walking inside the warehouse and past Nexalas. He wasn't paying much attention to the interior, or how it looked, just going over to a corner and placing his right hand on the ground. Then raising it, and placing it there again.

He jumped up, still oblivious to the fact that anything had changed...Well...Except for one thing. He had a panicked look on his face, his voice has a sense of confusion in it. "Where's my book!?" He started looking around, not noticing a pure black book in between the magazines, as he looked around. "I swear I always leave it in my corner, and-" He looked over to see Dagen, his face having a now confused look to it. "Wait, who are-Weren't you my opponent last night...?" He turned to look at Ash, who was now on the couch. "Ash. We're at the right warehouse. right."

The big man was pointing at the tree. She looked at the tree, the bark was completely removed from the position he was continuously hitting. The tree looked pretty damaged. Yume wondered what he meant. She looked back at the man and could read curiosity off his face. 'What exactly does he want to know... I don't look strong so it shouldn't be anything in the direction of showing something off. Wait... Maybe he's wondering how long I was watching...' She had to explain herself. It seemed like the only way out. No matter how much her mind is telling her how much she would speak in a dumb way if she just considered he wanted to know how long she has been watching she had to talk. "Er... Well... I was hearing this unusual sound so I went to check what it was. And then I found out it was you, and you seemed familiar, I had seen you somewhere before so I was watching you for quite a while, trying to figure out and then I realised I saw you on the tournament from yesterday. And then I realised I was staring, and staring is rude and I was about to leave you be." She felt really awkward now. It was the longest sentence she had spoken in a very long while. And she realised she said too much by mentioning the tournament. 'Idiot. Why did you have to mention that. That is supposed to be a secret.' She looked down at the ground remaining silent. She really wanted to leave now but she knew she had to wait until he was satisfied with her answer.

Sal figured she came when she heard him training. But the part about being in the tournament last night changed his mood. He pulled out his synch band and held it out in a challenging way. He wasn't about to pass up a chance to train as big daddy, and the opponent did not matter. Plus, she had to learn not to stare.

Lucky I didn't forget to take my syncband with me...' She uncovered her syncband which was hidden under the sleeve of her coat and activated it by pressing the button. Underneath the bands of her right arm a covered purple marking started to glow.

He had a hard time following the car as it kept turning wildly and speeding past other cars, and Denis almost crashed twice in his pursuit.
Are these people insane?! Why am I following them?!
But soon they stopped in front of a warehouse, and as Denis parked his motor bike and looked around, he spotted Nexalas with a bewildered look on his face. Denis sighed, by some miracle he managed to get to the hideout. He got off his bike and lightly tapped Nexalas on the shoulder.
Uhhh.... Nex, are you feeling okay?

Nexalas and Denis

Nexalas snapped out of his dazed state, turning and seeing his old friend, Denis.
He smiled, Yeah, I'm fine. It's just I uh... never seen the hideout clean. C-come inside I guess...
Denis nodded and walked inside with Nexalas while he picked up his laptop bag. After a moment of being mind-blown by the clean hideout he acknowledged Dagen was here and nodded to him.
Hey... Um, did you clean all of this? If so, you did a great job.
Denis was intensely staring at Dagen, thoughts rushing to his head all at once.
Whoisthat?Whyishehere,Ididn'tplanforthis,thisisbadIshouldrunaway- RUNNING!
Just before Denis tried to sprint to the door Nexalas Quickly grabbed the back of his jacket, keeping him from running to the door.
Ahahahaaa....uhhh.... Well, this is Denis. He's kinda new to astral battling, and he's a wreck around other peopl- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TRYING TO RIP OFF YOUR JACKET!
You didn't tell me there was a FOURTH person! I'm completely unprepared!!

If Misty didn't want to talk to him, it was no skin off his back. "No problem, Nexalas, none of us are exactly normal." He looked at Dennis, waving his hand. "I'm Ash, best battler of the group and the leader." He looked at Misty, who turned her gaze the other way. "That'-"

"Hey, I'm Misty. Misty Williams." The redhead waved at Dennis, offering him a bright smile, completely ignoring Ash, who she had cut off. "It's nice to meet you." After that she glared at Ash, finally offering him some form of acknowledgement. He glared back, arms crossed, and silence descended in the room.

Dagen

Dagen just sat silently, not knowing who to respond to, nor did he know what was going on. He just smiled at everyone and decided to let the conversation go as it would. Maybe Ash had something planned out for them, or maybe they were just going to hang. Whatever it was, Dagen was pretty much up for anything, especially after his cleaning session.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy synched into Wonderland. The large mushrooms towered over him. He was well oriented in this area, as it allowed for maximum coverage of his attacks, and he knew how to hit the mushrooms just right. All he had to do was wait for his foe, and then the fun will begin.

Nilakanta

Yet again amazed by the area Nilakanta appeared. The mushrooms were huge. She knew she had to be careful with the spores the mushrooms could release. Perhaps it was a better strategy to fly above them instead of underneath. From a distance she saw a large figure. Her targeting system zoomed in for a better view. "Rather large, that suit looks very heavy, perhaps a very slow fighter. A drill as weapon. Means he's close ranged. Recommendation is to stay on a distance and use long ranged weapons. He fact that we didn't pick the area means he might know his environment." She spread her wings and directly attempted to reach above the mushrooms.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy started to walk around. His suit made him loud, so sneaking was never an option. He didn't have the slightest clue what his foe looked like, or what type they could be. He needed a sign, an attack, movement, sound, something, but he couldn't find anything. His best thought was to take cover behind the mushrooms, just in case his opponent detected him first. If that was the case, the fact that they didn't strike means they were planning as well.

Nilakanta

The humanoid dragon landed on top of one of the large mushrooms. The soft surface muffled her footsteps. Beneath her she heard the large astral moving. She picked her sniper rifle. She looked down from the edge of the mushroom in the direction of the noise. She could just spot her target heading behind one of the mushroom's bases. Swiftly but stealthy she followed his movements. She took aim when she got in the right position to hit him and pulled the trigger of her sniper.

Big Daddy

A shot was heard, and something hit Big Daddy in the arm. His suit was able to take it, but it still hurt. He found where the noise came from and launched an incinerate at the mushroom the dragon was perched on. It lit ablaze, and even started to release some spores. His job done, he ran to take cover behind a cluster of tall mushrooms.

Soul

Bored after a few hours of scanning the web for older video games, (and half as much time finding the better ones), Soul decided he could go for a walk. After a quick but stern talk from his father:

Not too long today bud, you came back pretty late last time. Yeah yeah, I already apologized. But this time I promise, before eleven. I'll be back. I'm serious this time. News networks have been reporting that local police forces have been cracking down on curfews since the shutdown of battles. Not to mention that I know how much you liked them. I get it Dad, if it makes you feel better I'll be back by ten, or even nine. Eleven is fine son. Just keep yourself in line.

he decided to aimlessly walk around the city. He dined at a gourmet restaurant out of sheer boredom, but an hour later his stomach told him that the portions were too small. He found himself back at the ice cream shop from yesterday, and decided on a burger and sea salt ice cream.

After sitting outside and polishing everything off quickly, he leaned his head back and stared at the clouds. Still bored, I see. Yeah well, there's not exactly anything to do while waiting for my orders to ship. So go battle someone. I wouldn't mind, and I doubt that if you found someone safe that anything could happen. And how am I supposed to find them, a magic map?

@ the Stranger
Soul tipped his head forward again and saw a shady character across the street. He wanted to approach the man, but he felt immobilized. He was brought back to reality by a voice in his head. Talk to him. Don't know why, but you should. Soul got up and crossed the street at a safe moment, and approached the man. Can you help me?

GM at Soul

"Of course I can help you, but the question is, will I? And the answer is yes. You seek an opponent, but not just any opponent. One with an astral from the past, an astral of evil, an astral that has redeemed itself, and turned away from the masters it once had. No, this astral is special, one of a kind, but you may be asking 'isn't that true of everyone?' No, this astral is none other than the claw trooper. Feared in the past they were. Dreadful creatures, but one roams the city, calls itself a different name, and has a different cause. For a small fee, I will tell you where he is hiding, or rather, where he isn't hiding. Not really good at it I'm afraid." The Stranger held out a hand. "What do you say stranger? First time customers get a discount, ten is the fee for the info you need."

Although at first intimidated by the man, Soul smirked after the man finished. He took his wallet out of his back pocket, and took out a twenty. There's an extra ten for your wordplay, I've always loved riddles and the like.

@Soul

The Stranger took the money without a second thought. "He's in a warehouse not too far from here. My sources tell me it belonged to the late champion, Daylin Hakima. All I know is, his son took your opponent there, and he stayed in all night. Might still be there if you hurry. Have a good battle stranger." And with that, the stranger left and disappeared, as if he never existed in the first place.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on January 08, 2014, 04:58:03 AM

Soul

The Stranger walked away, leaving no trace of his existence except the memory of him. Well, that sounded useful. Then again, how many warehouses could be in say a twenty block radius from here? He turned around and realized once again that he had no idea where to go. Well isn't this just perfect. No idea where to go, and hardly a hint to go on. Don't be so lazy all the time. The man said he was with the son of the late champion, so it's obvious that he's with that Hakima guy.

Soul straightened his back and thought for a moment, then knocked himself on the head. Of course. He drove away from this shop yesterday in a nice souped up car. And he went... He turned to see the stoplight he remembered the car turning left at turn yellow, and then to red, and realized he only had so long to cross. He took off sprinting down the street, looking for any sort of big building. I really oughta get a bike or something. I've got my license but a car isn't my style. Maybe a motorcycle.

After about a half an hour of jogging and light sweating under the dark thunderheads of the oncoming storm, he finally managed to find something that could once have been called a warehouse. The sports car was parked outside, next to it a motor bike. Remembering his want for a vehicle earlier, he made a mental note to ask whose it was once he got inside. He bent over for a second to catch his breath, but then knocked on the door he saw, trying to be polite. I've probably been rude enough with them.

Nilakanta

"What!?" The dragon could bring out before the mushroom caught fire. She had to get away, spreading her wings when she was about to drop down she spread her wings and was about to fly to another mushroom, her wings catching most of the spores dropping down from the burning mushroom. She hadn't noticed yet and went on. "So he is ranged after all. I didn't expect that. Damn, I was cheering too early that this would be easy. I need to know what other abilities he has. This area is great for sneak attacks, so I should be at an advantage."

Nexalas and Denis

Denis finally calmed down, still a little shaken up, but overall regained his composure. Nexalas then released him, sighing in relief, while Denis blushes in embarrassment. He turns to the guy he freaked out over, and bowed in apology.
Sorry about that...
You don't have to freak out so badly Denis, it's not like there are going to be more peopl-
And then almost as if on cue, there was a knock on the door, and then Denis quickly hid behind Nexalas, seemingly using him as a meat shield.
Me and my big mouth... Can someone else get the door please? I sort of have a coward clinging to me.

Efialtes

Efialtes was frantically searching for his book, he had something he wanted to write down, but he couldn't find it. He was only half way paying attention to what was going on. 'Okay so far this new guy looks like a vocal version of Lai. Should be interesting to see where he is...Now where's that book...? Did someone steal it...? That must have been it. Someone had to have stolen it... He heard a knock at the door, that must be them! He frantically attempted to make it to the door, tripping and knocking over a pile of books and Magazines on his way.

 He picked up a few and sat them back down, grabbing another handful on his way to the door. He opened the door, his accusations flying out of his mouth as he opened it. "You're the book thief aren't you. AREN'T YOU. FESS UP." He was flailing a book at the supposed book thief...A little...Black book. He had been spewing accusations, only for them to quiet as he noticed what he was flailing. "Oh...Whoops. Okie dokie, what do you want? Sorry 'bout that."

Dagen shot up once he heard the knock. "Excuse me, Denis, was it? Sorry, I'm kind of zoned out. Spent most of the morning cleaning." He walked over to the door and recognized the guy from the shop yesterday. "Wait a second, I know you. You're the guy that tried to How the heck did you find this place, and why are you here?"

Big Daddy

Big daddy couldn't locate his foe again. This time, he use his ice to form a solid block on a mushroom. He made a few more to be noticeable, and hid so his opponent would find it. He was certain this would draw her out.

Soul

The door opened, and most of the kids from the ice cream shop were revealed to be inside. The one who opened the door shouted something about a book while waving one around, then looked at it and backed away as the real reason for his intrusion approached.

Quote from: Xetroc on January 11, 2014, 12:56:43 AM

"Wait a second, I know you. You're the guy that tried to How the heck did you find this place, and why are you here?"

Soul scratched his left hand with his right while he looked down, a little embarrassed. I found you because- He paused, a voice in his head stopping him. Don't. IF they don't know about HIM, then that's their own problem. He found us, and we should keep his secret a secret. I remembered that you were hanging out with Ash here, he nodded in Ash's direction, so I tried asking everyone that might know where you might be. I remembered which way you drove away from the ice cream parlor, and thought if I asked someone along that direction where some kids my age hung out, they could tell me where, and they did. I thought about looking up your address, but that would have been even more rude of me than I was yesterday, which I sincerely apologize for.

He bowed his head in Ash's direction again, and then looked at Misty with the best apologetic eyes he could muster. Again, I'm really sorry for my behavior yesterday, I should have acted more courteous to strangers. But, then he turned back to the guy in front of him, a fierce look in his eyes. As for why I'm here, I'm bored and I want to battle you. No hard feelings, no evil intent, but as rivals, for the experience. Soul held out his hand, remembering that he had never properly introduced himself to the man in front of him, or courteously to anyone in the room. I'm Soul, no special title or anything.

Ash smiled at Soul, rising from the couch and brushing Dagen and Efialtes out of the way. "No hard feelings, sit where ya like. " He returned to his seat, kicking his feet up and grinning lazily. "I'd go for watching a good battle right now, hope you two are good enough to actually give a show." The remark was teasing, Dagen probably knew that, but he forgot Soul did not know him. He'd probably take the remark seriously.

Misty watched the spectacle quietly, resisting the urge to scream at Ash for being so gullible. Soul was the son of some fancy executive, they were trained liars. She had already busted his first lie, because no one knew about this warehouse, and when they left the ice cream parlor they went to Ash's house, but she would see where it went. "Hey, Soul, nice meeting you again. I'm Misty Williams."

Nilakanta

Jumping from mushroom to mushroom Nilakanta was searching her opponent. She came to a halt when she saw ice blockes in the distance. "... Eh...?" It confused her a little, she zoomed in to get a better view, and it was indeed a block of ice.. There were no other blocks of ice except for the ones in the distance. This was most likely her opponent's doing. "Can use fire and ice... He might be slow, but if he freezes me it's all over... But why would he just show his ability like that..." She looked around for her opponent, but obviously he was hidden somewhere. "God he can take cover very well for a large slow thingie..." She was about to head towards the blocks. "Hold on." She stopped. "Hm?" "If he made those ice blocks he probably expects us to investigate them from close by. He expects us to come from above. He's probably focused on taking you down once you reach them. What we do know is that he is probably nearby at a location where he can see the blocks." "Heh... You're keener than you usually show." Nilakanta jumped into the forest taking cover in the lower foliage. Sneaking in a circle around the spot where her opponent might be. She switched her sniper for the minigun. She had to hit him a lot if she wanted to deal any damage. She didn't want to risk the rocket launcher failure she had last time though it seems like the most effective way to deal with this guy.

Big daddy

Big Daddy seen the dragon girl land a little off from where he wanted, but that was ok. There was enough stuff to burn around him, and her. He used incinerate on the ground and left the fire to spread, charging towards a mushroom and bashing it with his drill. Some of the spores leaked out and hit him, further reducing his speed, but he didn't need any speed for this. The whole place would burn in a matter of minutes anyways.

Dagen

Dagen perked up at the thought of a battle. "You're on! Dagen, at your service." He went towards the middle of the room and got his synch band ready. His heart was racing. His third battle. One loss, one tie, now to start a winning streak.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Morning|Cloudy
Post by: WhistfulSoul on January 12, 2014, 03:30:20 AM

Soul

He felt the strong grip of Ash shake his hand, and noticed the slightly hidden menacing look he was receiving from Misty. He thought to himself, Whether she acknowledges it or not, I apologized sincerely. I admire her, as she's a superb battler and a few years my senior, but I guess I'll have to work on respect.

Ash sat back down, motioning to sit anywhere, but as soon as he did, the newly proclaimed Dagen walked to the middle of the room and readied himself for battle. No holding back, you're my unofficial rival and I want to fight you like one! Soul pulled his Sync Band out from underneath his jacket sleeve and pressed the button, bringing up a menu with only two options. He pressed the top option, making his vision go black while his mind was transported far away.

MegaMan

Opening his eyes, he looked around to see that he was standing on a small planet about the size of a small neighborhood. Looking farther there were several other of the same general size planets, (probably a good jump away with the help of low gravity), all roughly lined up, ending in a black hole. I'll have to be careful, can't get too close to that vortex. He readied himself by materializing his Energy Sword, remembering that his opponent was a close range fighter.

Nilakanta

She was detected the moment she had jumped down. "Sheez. If I had actually gone towards those blocks I would've been burnt to a crisp." She said while dashing sideways to avoid the fire. "How reckless of him. I could just fly off into safety and he would just be stuck in his own trap." She jumped. Landing back on the ground. "Hm?" She tried to spread her wings, but they won't move. "Oh... Looks like this is going to be more difficult than I considered..." "You must've caught some paralyzing spores. But don't give up yet. It looks like our opponent also caught some spores too. He's moving even slower now." "Heh, that means 'that thing' would be impossible to miss, but do I want to risk blasting it all on such a sturdy opponent?" "Instead of just aiming wherever you want you should look for some weak spots and expose them." "We think alike." Nilakanta inspected her target with a glance. She started running, taking aim at the back of her opponent with the intention of damaging the tanks on his back and pulled the trigger releasing another rain of bullets.

Ash and Misty
"Hey Myst, wanna spec their battle? We haven't really just sat back and talked about battling in a while." Ash didn't know why he asked her, but maybe it was the way she was looking at him. Even now, sea green eyes boring holes into him, there was a lack of real anger. The anger Misty was famous for, that he joked about so much. She had held back on him for nearly two weeks now, curving her blows when she hit him, lowering her voice instead of screeching. She pitied him, but he didn't want pity.

Misty was silent for a moment, but her glare slowly faded away. Another moment, and she smiled slightly and nodded. "We really haven't, have we? I hadn't really thought about it until just now, but all we've done is run around and help your Mom plan the funeral." She stopped to gauge his reaction to mentioning the funeral, and when he did nothing more than nod slightly, she continued. "Yeah, I'd be glad to."

"Nexalas, Efialtes, Dennis, you in?" Ash lifted himself off the couch, pulling something from the drawer of the coffee table in the middle of all the furniture, and then placing it on the table. It was a small, black, square-shaped platform, with several buttons on the front, and a projector on the top. It was covered in a thin layer of dust. Ash wiped it off, pressing a few buttons and waiting a moment. The projector on the top glowed, and soon enough, showed a three-dimensional hologram of the battle. "Bet ya don't have one of these, Nex. It's an old spec-cube, they used these things back when my Dad battled at events. Much larger ones, but still the same machine."

Ash sat down after that, watching the battle intently. He was so absorbed he didn't notice when Misty came to sit beside him, leaning against him and whispering "You still have that, Ash? I remember when you're Dad first showed us it, we thought it was so cool... How old were we, fourteen?" Ash nodded, smirking. "Yeah, we were. He gave it to me last year, said he didn't need it anymore." Misty was quiet after that, and the two watched the battle, zoning nearly everything else out but their own quiet discussions on what Dagen or Soul could have done better.

Nexalas and Denis

He rolled his eyes, whenever Ash could he would always try one-upping Nexalas, often showing off a rare trinket or item. Nexalas was about to retort, but then Denis spoke up.
I have one, actually.
Nexalas turned to him, raising an eyebrow as Denis took out another small cube, this one was also a bit aged.
You do? How did you get your hands on one of those?
I got it along with my synch band, as to how the shop keeper gets his hands on stuff is beyond me.
... Did you check if it works?
Denis put it on the table, pressing a few buttons till the holographic screen popped up, showing what's happening on Ash's screen at a different angle. Nexalas's jaw dropped, the fact he got a functioning cube was mind boggling.
It was actually broken when I got it, but I managed to tinker with it and give it a few new parts. It's not good as new, but it works.
Nexalas just nodded, deciding to watch the fight. He was definitely interested, the fight was between two people he's never seen before, and they both have unique astrals... not to mention that now they have two angles to look at.

Efialtes

Efialtes hadn't been paying much attention, he had been in his corner, writing some stuff down. He started to close the book, when everything went...Dark. Black even. When he regained his sight, the book was open, and some more scribbles had been written down. He felt...Different. But he shoved the feeling off. Beside some of his battle plans, in cursive there was more writing. "It says...'wrong...wrong...will get us killed...do not do... aaaand wrong. Try again, kid.' Why...?"

He was confused, and the confusion didn't stop. Something cut his attention from the book, which he quickly closed. Ash was saying something, something off of the tone that had been going around lately...Something sort of happy. He looked over, Ash had placed an odd cube he hadn't seen before, something dusty, on a table. It looked old, but the technology, wasn't something he had ever seen in the underground. He moved over, closer to the cube. It was projecting a battle that was going on...A battle Efi hadn't even noticed before then. He sat down on the floor near the table it was on, crossing his legs as he stared at the battle, watching.

GM Post

Some cops were standing over a couple of bodies. A male, and a female. They stared into the distance, as if they seen something terrifying. The authorities were baffled. There was no sign of forced entry, no wounds of any kind, not even a single drop of blood anywhere.

"This is insane. Two more bodies, the same as the others. Who could be doing something like this?"

Stan Masters was leading the investigation. He had seen these two last night, even recognized their signatures. He took out a notepad and began to draw something. When he finished, he got up, and walked out. He needed to clear his head.

Gix

As soon as Gix was in, he was taken in by the view. "Well, this is different. Looks like space, but, not space. Ok, Dagen, or Gix, let's do this right!" He looked around and seen his foe. He jumped from one planet to the next, closing in, and when he was in range, he did the one attack he knew that could close a distance. "Tornado Claw!" He spun at insane speeds thanks to the low gravity, using the momentum to speed at his foe.

Big Daddy

A hailstorm of bullets hit Big Daddy in the back. One of his tanks ruptured, but it didn't matter. It was his EVE tank, but he didn't need it to take down this dragirl. He used up the last bit of it to fire electro bolt at her, attempting to stun her. Paralyzing spores were already in effect, so this attack was sure to hit.

Nilakanta noticed a bright blue liquid was flowing out of the tank. She wasn't sure what kind of stuff it was but that was a worry for later. Then she saw her large enemy pointing at her. 'Fire or Ice... Ice seems unlikely, he just wants to incinerate me, so he will throw fire...' Her back felt numb, the paralysation was spreading slowly to the rest of her body. This is the last thing she would be able to dodge. Then the electro bolt charged towards her. 'What? Electric?' She attempted to tumble sideways to dodge her legs catching the blow, leaving her sitting on the ground. "Well. This sucks. But I refuse to go down quietly." Feeling the heat around her intensify with the fire getting closer she switched her machine gun to the zap cannon taking aim and firing her own bolt of electricity.

As soon his opponent joined the battle, MegaMan knew he would be quick. Gotta think quick. Suddenly, the claw trooper charged him from a nearby planet, turning into a swirling vortex of claws that would chew him up like a blender if he wasn't careful. MegaMan quickly took an assessment of his surroundings, and as soon as he had finished, the real battle started. Tricky, but it's all I've got!

Tensing his muscles, he bent down and prepared to strike, and when the moment came, MegaMan swung his Energy Sword, hoping to take advantage of the low gravity and trying to deflect the claws and send the two combatants in opposite directions.

The bolt hit, and Big Daddy could feel his movement stall. He arm was shaking as he was preparing his coup de grace. A dark sphere formed in his palm, swirling with massive amounts of energy. With a final push, he let loose his super, the black orb flying at the dragon girl. It began to grow, creating a powerful vortex centering on a single point. Everything around it was being drawn in, even Big Daddy could feel the pull, but his weight kept him safe from its deadly embrace.

"Whoa, glad it was just these..." He couldn't imagine what would have become of him if he was off by a few inches. He broke free, and since his opponent was close enough, went for phase two. "Shield Buster!" Gix sent a fast strike towards his foes abdomen.

Blades collided, and sparks flew in all directions. Gix was broken out of his spinning, and realized his claws were caught on the guys swords. They began to glow red hot from the energy. "Whoa, glad it was just these..." He couldn't imagine what would have become of him if he was off by a few inches. He broke free, and since his opponent was close enough, went for phase two. "Shield Buster!" Gix sent a fast strike towards his foes abdomen.

MegaMan

The two collided, and their weapons got caught on each other. After untangling themselves, the opponent quickly aimed for MegaMan's stomach, saying something about a Buster. Another quick plan! He held his sword in a vertical stance, just meaning to block the blow. He could feel the blades collide once again, sending a jolt of force through his body. Since he likes Busters... Using the force from the blow and his own legs, he jumped backwards towards another planet, and materialized his Mega Buster. He charged a shot, and aimed for the Claw Trooper, and knew that even if it didn't connect it would most likely kick up some amount of debris.

Nilakanta

"Oh crap!" Being unable to dodge Nilakanta got dragged into the vortex, crushing her by the massive gravity formed in the center of it.

Yume Tsuki
Her mind was transported back to her original body. She felt rain dropping on her. She was a little confused by the change in environment but realized this was the world as she knows. She sighed as she opened up her umbrella to cover herself from the rain. "Lost again... Oh well, that was a pretty cool battle."

Big Daddy/Sal

Big Daddy watched as his foe was puled into his vortex, desynching before the final explosion. With a spin of his drill, he left the arena. Sal realized it was raining as soon as he was back in his world. He took note of his foe, and gave her a thumbs up. She might be inexperienced, but she has potential. Maybe enough potential. He started to think something over, but pushed it aside. He promptly left, deciding it was time to return to his dojo.

Gix

Gix took a hard hit from the buster, and it sent him flying at another planet. He manged to dig his claws into the ground to prevent him from going any further. But, something was off. His heart began to beat faster, and everything seemed to go black. When his eyes opened, he was no longer Dagen. Gix had awakened. "So, naughty naughty little fighter decides he can go toe to toe with the most feared of all astrals." Gix clashed his claws together, generating sparks. "Maybe I should fix this situation. Yes, exactly. He began to jump as fast as he could from each planet towards his foe, using his speed, and having his claws at the ready to strike.

Ash and Misty
"Hey Myst, did you see that?" Ash stared intently at the projection, watching Gix closely. "It's like he... changed." His voice was low, and he glanced around to make sure only Misty could hear him before continuing. "He looks just like the pictures. The ones in the paper Dad showed us."

Misty had seen the change herself, and she couldn't argue the fact that the way he stood was reminiscent of the Claw Troopers... "Ash, of course he does. He's a claw trooper, even if he has reformed. I'm sure it's nothing." Her voice wavered slightly, trying to convince herself as much as Ash. "I mean, wouldn't you be angry if you just got thrown?" Ash nodded, but the redhead saw the doubt in his eyes. She laid her hand on his, looking him directly in the eyes and whispering, "It was nothing."

Ash relaxed,continuing to watch the battle, but he didn't move her hand off his. He knew he should, but he didn't. Her simple touch seemed to take his nerves away, relieve him of his fears. And so he allowed her hand to rest on his,unaware he was having the same effect on her, and watched the battle. He was also unaware that his hair had flashed colors for a moment the instant Gix had taken control, or that his eyes had changed colors.

Link would not fail this time. he would stop the Claw Troopers.

(Whole conversation took place quietly, in whispers.)

MegaMan

The claw trooper took the Energy blast head on, sending him reeling. He landed on another planet, and managed to stop himself with his claws, which, after a moment, he clashed together in some display of strength. Well, ok then. Guess this guy's ready for a real fight. As Soul thought this, the opponent began to practically fly from planet to planet towards him. At the same time, MegaMan thought, He's changed. Something's off with him.

Soul went to raise his Buster once more for some rapid firing action, but he couldn't move his arm. I've got this. I won't hold back with the speed this time. Sure, just don't embarrass us. MegaMan replied with, Wouldn't dream of it. as he re-materialized his Energy Sword, and shot himself towards the claw trooper, holding the Sword in a position ready to slice.

Nexalas
He grasped his right arm, something was very wrong, and he knew it. Something about this was... familiar. He then grasped his head in pain, remembering something.

The night before...

Nexalas felt his consciousness slipping away, and he could only barely see through X's eyes. If he didn't do something, he feared that he may lose his astral. He consciously held his hand to something, as if trying to grasp his control.
What... the heck do you think.... your doing?
He then felt a sharp pain in the head and blacked out.

Now...

He looked to Dagen, the others didn't notice but his synch was flickering. He was wanting to warn the others, but something stopped him.
It's very obvious that his astral has taken control, but even so, it could be even more dangerous to de-synch him right now. I have no idea how to go about stopping this, and if I warn the others they'll probably panic considering Dagen's astral is a claw trooper... I have no choice but to watch.

Denis

He stopped being as nervous as before, and was oblivious as to anything that was going wrong and just watched. After all, he hasn't even battled once so far, he just assumed this was normal.

Yume Tsuki

The thumb up made Yume smile as her opponent left. Then she realized she was hungry. "What time is it?" She wondered. "One day, I should really wear my watch..." She sighed. She decided to head back to fetch some lunch and then decide what to do next. The rain enhanced the scent of the leaves, she also smelt the faint scent of doused fire, but she paid no mind. The rain would keep it that way and she didn't want another encounter like the last one.

In the city the girl was attracted by the sandwich store closing her umbrella and heading inside. There weren't many customers at the moment. Most of them were stranded in this little lunchroom because of the rain. "Good afternoon, what can I do for you milady." The employee behind the counter asked friendly. "Ha, hum, hello... I would like a sandwich with... Lettuce... er... Bacon... Chicken, tomatoes... Egg and... cucumber." She said. "Wheat bread or white bread?" "Wheat, please... And mayonnaise." "Coming right up. That will be $4,70 please." Yume paid for her lunch. Then the guy picked a wheat bread smearing it with mayonnaise and putting on the ingredients swiftly. It always impressed Yume how swift the service here was. She took the sandwich thanking the employee and had a seat near the window eating her lunch while absently looking outside.

Gix

Gix was ready, and he contorted his body so the sword would miss, but returned with a couple quick swipes at his foe. "Is that supposed to intimidate me! Prepare to die!"

GM Post

A breaking news report flashed on all available media screens.

This is breaking news. Earlier today, two astral known astral fighters have been found dead in a small apartment in the downtown district. They have been identified as Luke Taylor, and Katerine Fisher. Police have no leads, and have not yet reported whether or not this was a homicide. As one officer stated, 'There are no signs of forced entry, no marks to indicate how they died, or any other evidence around. It's as if they have just died without any cause.' This is one of many cases that have been reported in recent months, and the criminal is said to still be at large.

Midou

Midou woke to rain pouring on his face. He was completely soaked and his fire seemed to have gone out sometime ago. Dawning the hood on his cloak he left the forest to find some form of shelter.

John

John had been out playing in the arcade earlier in the morning. When he had left he found himself caught in the rain and was forced into a near sandwich shop. He saw a familiar looking girl walk in but couldn't remember where he had seen her until a few moments ago. He walked up to her from behind and tapped her on the shoulder asking " Hey where you at the underground tournament last nite?".

"Hmm...?" Before she wanted to confirm she was there, the same thought from earlier in the morning came back to her. 'This guy was certainly not there.' Then she remembered him going on his knees in disappointment that he was too late. 'I wonder...' She looked at him in suspicion. Could he be the one who informed the cops?

MegaMan

Before MegaMan had even swung, his opponent anticipated his attack and sliced away in his direction. Barely able to keep up with the claw troopers speed, he tried his best to block the slices, but could feel a claw scrape along his arm. Wincing from the slight pain he retaliated with a series of quick slices, trying to use his extended sword range to keep a good distance.

Gix

Gix was unable to dodge the strikes, and took a good amount of damage from the hits. He could tell his opponent was off guard though. His strikes were wild, and didn't have any real goal. This was dangerous, and Gix could barely keep up. He still had his ace, but did not know whether or not this would be the right time. Without a thought, his claws began to electrify, and he used his speed to get closer. "Dragon Claw!" He took a swipe at his foes sword arm, attempting to disable it.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Afternoon|Raining
Post by: WhistfulSoul on January 22, 2014, 05:46:32 AM

MegaMan

His sword connected with tissue, cleanly swiping through his opponent. As soon as he stopped moving his sword arm, the claw trooper's claws were cloaked in electricity, and he took another slice in his direction. Their speed still on par with one another, MegaMan brought his sword arm up to block the strike, but found that the new intensity of the claws caused by the electricity tore right through the Energy Blade. Crap!

With no time to do anything else, and with the opponent still so close, he threw a quick punch with his left hand, not caring if it landed or not, and jumped back. It'll take some time for that to repair, and since the Buster and Sword share the same energy pool, Charged Shots wouldn't allow the Sword to repair. MegaMan materialized his Buster anyway, ready to keep some distance. Now would be the time for that, but... He stood still, as a planet in the background exploded.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Afternoon|Raining
Post by: Tickles on January 23, 2014, 01:49:43 AM

Gix

The exploding planet made Gix flinch, causing him to drop his guard momentarily. Dagen began to regain control, but he didn't have full influence yet. It looked like Gix was at a stand still at the moment. Not one muscle moved. After a couple moments like this, he spoke. "What happened? Am I winning? Something else was off though. Dagen, now controlling Gix, realized he couldn't move a muscle. He could barely raise his arm, and moving his leg was basically a chore. "What the hell?"

" Uh, ok." It seemed like she was thinking about something important but John decided not to pry." So about what happened at the competition yesterday. Did any battles go down before the cops showed up?"

Midou

Walking through the streets in the middle of the rain Midou stopped outside an electronic store looking at  the news from a TV on display. The report said a couple of astral fighters were dead which could only made him chuckle to himself. It wasn't cause he found the death of others humorous but more that the game which he saw as nothing more than a simple game and a way to use a natural gift to make easy cash. To think it could lead to such serious results like police raids and even murder Midou found stone humor in that.'But sadly seems like i have top play this game no later how wild it gets.'once the report had gone of Midou continued on his way walking through the rain.

"Mh, some battles of the first round were still going on... Three battles were done. The last two of them had to stop because of the cops. A rather old looking man made sure nobody would have to go to jail." She took a bite from her sandwich and a quick glance around the room.

MegaMan

The explosion made the claw trooper flinch, and another noticeable change happened. He's back to himself, but why... MegaMan's eyes widened in sudden realization. Now would be the perfect time for his technique, but it would render him completely defenseless. No, stick to this. A small charge began to build within the Buster. MegaMan held it in his immobilized opponents direction, held it for several seconds to continue the charge, then released.

Gix seen the blast coming, but had no way to dodge. His legs felt heavy, and his arms were numb. He closed his eyes, awaiting the blast, bracing himself, thoughts sunning through his head. A second loss. Everything was in slow motion to him, and he was helpless to anything about it. The blast hit him in the chest, sending him off the planet, and straight into the black hole. He desynched.

Dagen

Dagen was back in reality. His body felt weak, and he collapsed on the floor and passed out.

(The battle was exhausting only because of Gix, but you guys can react however you wish. Unintentional rhyme.)

Post by: WhistfulSoul on January 25, 2014, 06:34:43 PM

MegaMan

The claw trooper was apparently helpless to dodge, and took the Charged shot straight on. It flung him backwards, into the black hole, ending the match. MegaMan kept his firing stance for a moment, then released the sync.

Soul

Soul opened his eyes to see everyone staring at a projection of the battle, with Dagen on the ground, unconscious. Woah, what happened?! I know the battle was tense, but I hope this isn't my fault! He rushed over to the guy, propping his head up to keep a safe circulation of blood. He turned to Ash, the only real expert on astrals and astral battles. Is there anything that caused this?

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Afternoon|Raining
Post by: The-Blades-slave on January 26, 2014, 05:41:01 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash was up in a flash, gently he lifted Dagen off the ground. He carried him over to the couch and laid him down, propping his hand up on the armrest. "I'm not really sure, high amounts of stress leading up to a battle can cause the battler to exert too much energy, but... that's not what happened." He turned to Misty, who had stood up so Dagen could be laid down, "Call the Old Man. Tell him to meet us here as soon as he can."

Misty nodded, picking her phone off the table and dialing his number. As it rang, she cast Dagen a worried glance. She had tried to tell herself it had been nothing, that Ash was just stressed and seeing things, but something had changed for sure. The battle had been so even until the claw trooper had seemed to lose his mind and started throwing himself at his opponent. Out of instinct she curled one of her bangs around her finger, nervously beginning to twirl it.

Ash meanwhile had turned to look at the rest of the people in the room. Soul was still on the floor, looking rather upset. "Relax, it's nothing you did." He wanted to reassure him that it was just exhaustion, but he knew better than that. The kid looked smart enough to figure out that wasn't it, and Nexalas would definitely know something was up. So he opted to tell them what he thought was wrong. "How much do you all know about the claw troopers?"

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Afternoon|Raining
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on January 26, 2014, 04:12:59 PM

Nexalas

As he saw Dagen pass out from exhaustion, his first instinct was to catch him, but Ash beet him to it. It seemed like he noticed too, and after Misty dialed a number, Ash turned to the group, striking a glance at Nexalas. He sighed, and looked to Dagen and then to Ash.

I know that they used to be a threat back in the day, but I guess this is the part where I come clean, right? You noticed his astral change too, right? When he got launched... He paused a moment, thinking things over. You think it's the same thing that happened to me?

Denis

He immediately freaked out when Dagen went unconscious, completely confused as to how this happened and hundreds of thoughts rushed to his head.

Ohgodwhathappeningishedeadwhydidhefallunconsciouswhydidthishappenisthisnormalwhyiseveryonepanicking- PANIC! Was that supposed to happen?! ... Wait, what happened to you Nexalas?

Nexalas gave a look to him that said shut up and let me handle this, Nexalas was obviously tense with worry. He just looked around at the others, confused and nervous.

GM @ Everyone in warehouse

Stan was pulling up to his old friends warehouse. He remembered the day Daylin bought it, saying he wanted to rebuild it into a training center. With everything that went on, that project was put on hold, and eventually, Daylin gave it to Red and Ash as a gift. Now it was a simple hangout for the young men. As he stepped out, his phone rang. It was Misty, and she had a twinge of worry in her voice.

"I'm here already, about to walk through the door. I need to talk to Ash, but that can wait."

Stan opened the door up and seen everyone around the young man he seen Ash hanging around with the night before. He moved over to the couch and waved everyone to step aside, and began to read the man's signature. When the image of a claw trooper flashed in his mind, he jumped back. "Will someone tell me what happened and why in the hell a man with a claw trooper is passed out on the couch?"

Yume took a glance outside. Someone was standing outside the sandwich store and didn't seem to care about the rain. He wore a long black coat. She had seen it before. Then she remembered him, he was outside the tournament building. He seemed like the type that wouldn't mess with the cops she had no reason to suspect him, perhaps he has seen something suspicious... She finished her sandwich. "Excuse me... I gotta go." She said to the guy she was talking with and stood up to leave. She walked up to the stranger. "Excuse me, sir. I noticed you in the crowd last night. Did you happen to see anything out of place besides the cops surrounding the place?

Post by: The-Blades-slave on January 27, 2014, 11:42:16 PM

Ash and Misty
Ash had no time to respond to Nexalas before Stan burst through the door, causing him to jump slightly. Stan had a commanding aura, and the room fell silent around him. A path cleared for him to get to Dagen. There was a pregnant silence as he read the mans signature, and jumped back in shock. Ash stepped forward, quickly breaking free of the hold that had silenced him. "Dagen, that's the guy on the couch, and Soul were astral battling, and something really weird happened. Dagen's eyes flashed red and it seemed like he lost control. The way the astral acted... it reminded me of what you and Dad would always tell me when I asked about the Claw Troopers." He seemed at a loss for words, balling his fists into the fabric of his jeans. Talking about the troopers made him so angry, he always wanted to punch something afterwards.

Unbeknownst to Ash, as his anger rose, his hair began to flicker from black to blonde, and though Misty could not see because his back was to here, she 'd have wagered his eyes were becoming that emotionless icy blue. She stepped forward, placing a hand softly on his shoulder.  The flickers in his appearance immediately ceased, yet no one seemed to notice. (She was used to that, it seemed like she was the only one who could see it.) "What he means is the Claw trooper became a lot more vicious, and it looked like he was taunting his opponent. Dagen's not like that, so I can only assume..."

Stan

Stan thought it over a bit. "I see. Right now, I think he just needs some rest." He looked around the warehouse. It changed since the last time he dropped by for a visit. Very clean.

"Now, I guess none of you have heard the news? I don't want to be bring more bad news, but it has to be said. Two more fighters were found dead today."

Stan was frustrated. This case was going nowhere, and things were only getting more dangerous.

"Ash, Misty, i need to talk to you two personally though. The rest of you, catch up. I can't reveal too much on the investigation.

Stan walked into one of the office spaces, waiting for his young friends.

(The rest in the warehouse, except soul, should know who Stan is personally. Soul, you can know him as a former champ.)

Post by: WhistfulSoul on January 29, 2014, 12:23:02 AM

Soul

Soul's eyes widened and he stood up off the ground as the old man walked into the warehouse. That's the old man from the factory last night! But, he's also... Soul racked his brain for the right memory. He's a previous champ, remember? Stan Masters, and he was very acquaintanced with Ash's father.

Masters walked over to the unconscious Dagen and examined him, then asked Ash for an explanation. While he did, Ash was obviously tense, and Masters seemed very concerned. Soul noticed Misty put her hand on Ash's shoulder, and something bright near his head. Weird. Masters called for Ash and Misty to step aside, so Soul walked over next to the others and sat on the table, facing Dagen. What exactly happened while we were fighting? And what is Gramps doing here?

Post by: The-Blades-slave on January 29, 2014, 07:16:17 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash was grim-faced as he followed Stan, eyes focused intently on the ground. Two more dead... He didn't know who it was, but they had been targeting champions. His Dad was off the list, and Stan was still here. The newer league didn't have many champions, the only one he knew of was Luk- He picked up his pace, bursing into the only room the warehouse had that was considered private. "It was Luke, and that girl he hung around, wasn't it?" His voice was strained, and he couldn't bring himself to look Stan in the eyes.

Misty felt her throat tightening as she came to the same realizaion as Ash, but she forced the lump of emotions down. They hadn't known the Champion and his girl friend personally, but he and Ash had met before on several occasions. Luke had seemed alright, and the quiet girl he traveled with had looked so innocent. They didn't deserve to die. "Please, Stan, say it wasn't them." She spoke softly, nearly begging Stan to deny their suspicions. The haunted gaze he observed them with said it all though.

Efialtes

Efialtes had watched the entire battle, but he was drowning out all sounds, he was thinking. The moment the battle ended, he went to write something down in his black book, until he looked up after hearing a loud thud. The guy that had been here before them, the guy Ash called Dagen, was out on the floor. A door opened, and he saw someone he saw a few times before, someone he at least thought Ash respected, Mr. stan. He started to say something, before stopping himself, as the other guy led Ash and Misty away, the guy must have said something he hadn't caught, either way, he probably shouldn't follow them, hence why he just went back to writing in his book.

He started to write something down, before he lost vision, regaining it a few seconds later, to see the strategy he had started to write down, crossed out, with neater words beside it. He read said words, his expression changing rapidly. His normal, idiotic smile, to a flat line, that of someone who looked hurt. '...it reads.... "do you really think that would work...? You aren't very good at this are you?"....'

He shook his head, marking out the words, and he started to write down the strategy. He kept losing vision, each time he regained it, what he had written down would be scratched out, the same words written down beside it. He would get less, and less written down, until eventually he came back to a whole page of the words. To any normal person, this would look like someone writing things down rapidly, them going through a wave of moods as they were doing it... He eventually wrote down one word himself. 'why?'

Nothing else came after that. Not a single word from the one who he was arguing with. He merely stared at the page, and at that one word, for the longest time. A blank expression on his face, as thoughts streamed into his mind, reminding him of every falter, mishap, loss, that he caused by not being good enough, not being able to think fast enough, or flat out admitting he was beat.

Stan Masters

Stan looked down at the request. "I'm sorry." It pained him to see his young friends in distress, but he couldn't help what happened. He was even sure about this next move, but again, it can't be helped either.

"That's why I wanted to talk to you guys. Luke was aa champion, and as you and probably the rest of the city figured out, this killer only targets champions. Apparently, not last night, as the younger woman, Kat, was not a champion. He seemed more concerned for Ash and Misty now, but he pressed on. "Another thing that remains consistent is that there is no sign of a forced entry, a struggle, or any visible marks that indicate how they died. Almost as if they dropped dead without notice. He trembled a bit, a memory popping up and making him think even more. "The last time I seen this was when Daylin was still alive. I am certain now that this is an astral crime. I fear that events will play out again, but I'm not sure if it is the same astral. The one that killed your father. He looked to Ash.

"Ash, you have a gift in you, one that only you and your father share. You have a strong astral signature, and it is manifesting itself around you. You are able to tap into your being's knowledge, even become them to an extent. I went back to this..." He pulled out an old book, and opened it up. The pages were blank, but it was indeed important. "This is the book of the astrals. I am the only one that can read it, but it has revealed to me things about you. Ash, you are a Catalyst. You can utilize your energy in a focused manner, making you strong offensively in the battlefield. Your father was the same. Ash, I want you to join the Pursuers of Knowledge. I know you battle in the underground, and I fear that a member there is using this astral, or worse, the astral is using them. You have insider information, and can gain access that the PK can't. It will be a dangerous mission, but I have faith in you, and will train you, and one other member of your choosing, to get through this.

He paused, as he waited for a reply.

(Blades, you can respond any way you wish. I will send a PM to clarify.)

The Stranger

"Ah, you speak my language. Without hesitation you approached this old soul with an inquiry. Madam, I see many a strange thing, things that are beyond belief in this world. In another world, it's normal the things I see, but such is life." He pulled out a scarf, gold in color, and as brilliant as the sun itself. "Now this is strange, and I did see it as out of place given the consequences of last night. This is the Golden Fleece, woven down of course into something more... stylish I suppose. Yours for 15, unless you prefer to pay 10. Why am I selling you this, you ask? Well, this strange item seems to be what you seek. A powerful item that allows you to recover three times as fast form any attack, no matter how devastating. If you don't believe me, at least you'll get a nice scarf out of it. What do you say, Stranger?"

Ash and Misty
Ash was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I'll do it, I'm not gonna stand by and let more people die." He looked oddly reminiscent of Daylin as he clenched his fists, eyes glowing in determination. "Myst cant train with me, I'm sure she's as willing to help as I am." The raven haired teenager looked at Misty, who nodded in affirmation.

Misty's eyes wandered to the book Stan held, whose pages he said were blank. Ash didn't seem to notice anything, but to her, the pages shifted with words. She shook it off, and then looked at Stan. "What are the pursuer's of knowledge, Stan? Daylin always said they wree good, and I knew he was part of them, but... he didn't really say much else."

(Sorry if the post is off, lost my actual one because the page failed to load because PU was updating.)

Yume Tsuki

'Huh? Is such item even legal? Wait why am I talking about whatever is legal or illegal, it's not like one could say this 'game' is legal after all.' She thought to herself. "Not specifically something I was looking for." She pondered for a moment. "Yume, if the information about the deaths of other astral players is true, this is your best option to hold on to. Especially since you're snooping around right now..." Her astral suggested. 'It only works for astral battles though, some random person could still stab me if he or she wanted to.' She looked at the scarf. [/i]'It's true though, if though astral battles a person can actually die, such scarf could be a life-saver.'[/i] Then the image from the pink haired guy went through her mind, he had fallen unconscious to the ground after battling. 'What was his name...? Oh right, Nexalas. She looked back at the stranger. "I'll take it. But there is one more question I have... Do you happen to know where a guy named Nexalas is staying?"

Nexalas and Denis

Denis, surprisingly, didn't cling to the back of the nearest couch or try to sprint out of the door when Stan entered. He vaguely remembers the man who entered the room as Stan Masters, Nexalas told him all about how he was past champion and how they were acquainted, and even met him once before. He nodded as he left to another room with both Ashton and Misty, and he felt this was as good a time as any to ask Nexalas what's going on.
You mentioned something about last night, what exactly happened?

Nexalas turned to him, but as soon as he did, he sneezed all of a sudden. He sniffled a bit before answering. My astral went a bit berserk yesterday, he took control at one of the worst times. I regained consciousness when Misty slapped me. Denis was about to ask, but Nexalas stopped him. Long story, let's just say we don't see eye to eye. A lot.

Denis nodded, remembering how Nexalas described him, and Nexalas continued, this time more to both Denis and Soul. So basically, the same thing happened to Dagen, only it seems as though it took control of itself in the middle of the fight instead of in the beginning like me. Astral battles aren't that dangerous for most people, but it seems like both his and my astral have something in common... heck if I know what it is though.

Red
"Another victim has been found." The head honcho of the underground slammed his fist against the table, looking around at Red and the rest of the Triad clans. It wasn't often he got them together without all hell breaking loose. "We cannot allow this to continue happening. This is the very reason battling fell out of popularity twenty years ago."\ If it continues we will lose battlers, and no battlers means no money."

Red pulled his hat down farther to cover his eyes, leaning back in his chair. He tried not to take the short man at the head of the table too seriously. He was one of the sponsors of the underground, and generally just screamed at the top of his lungs about money. He was listening more than normal today, trying to find out anything about the murders.

"What do you suppose we do?" Zeke spoke up, grinning from under his hood. "We could kick their asses if you want. That sounds fun, right guys?"

"Do you even think we could manage that?" Blue spoke up from behind Red, looking at Zeke. "One of the first murders was Daylin Hakima. he was renowned as the best battler of a millenia for a reason. He only has two documented defeats in his whole career." The room descended into silence after that, all eyes on Red. He was a mystery to most, but everyone in the Triad knew he was the son of the famous champion. If anyone knew if Daylin was as strong as the rumors said, it would be his son.

"Well?" the short man at the front of the table demanded. He did not like waiting on anyone. "How strong was he, boy?"

Red looked up, locking eyes with the man. "If they beat him, we can't. Whoever is hunting these champions isn't playing fair. They could not have beaten my father without doing so. He was famous for a reason. He was fusion." His voice was cool and collected, and the room was silent afterwards.

"Very well, we will continue later. tonight we are holding another gathering, all of you are to be there. If the murderer shows his face you are permitted to sue force. Deadly force." He a small red orb on the table, and Zeke gasped, even Red's eyes widened slightly. "It's the same thing the Troopers used twenty years ago. Beat him and he's dead meat. Literally, ahaha." And with that the meeting was dismissed, leaving the Triad to get ready for tonight's gathering.

Red left in a hurry, pulling out a throw away mobile phone and sending a picture of the orb to Stan (he had taken them when everyone was getting ready to leave), with a message. "Caution, will be there tonight. Gathering is at the old battle arenas at 10:00 PM. Proceed with caution. ~Crimson" Then the gang leader left the site of the meeting, talking to his hang and the other triad members like nothing had happened.

Before Change

Stan Masters

Stan received a message from Red. It was a picture of a red orb. Stan was filled with disgust when he realized how dangerous this is actually going to be. "Things go from bad to worse it seems. One of the underground members got a hold of a red orb. Ash, Misty, take caution. If you see a red orb, get as far away from the synch zone as you can. Report to me if you find anything else."

Stan hugged both of them. To him, they were the only thing close to a family he has. He let go, nodded, and took his leave, giving everyone else a quick goodbye as well.

(You guys just post on the ways you got the invite later.)

The Stranger

"Unfortunately, I can't supply that information right now, as personal info is quite expensive, but seeing as you really want to find him, I'm sure he will be at the underground event tonight. Should be a riot. So, I accept payment in the form of cash. Enjoy your scarf, Stranger. The transaction complete, the stranger left, leaving no trace of his existence.

At the meeting

Everyone was waiting patiently as they once did the night before. Synch stations were set up, this time in catacombs beneath the city, a place where no cop dared to venture. Dagen was back on his feet, having no memory of what happened earlier, and he seemed even more excited for his next fight. Salvador was waiting in the shadows, avoiding eye contact. He had a special run in with a mysterious man who tried to sell him odd trinkets, but he wasn't buying. He didn't need special items to win.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: Humen on February 03, 2014, 10:52:11 PM

Midou

Midou had made his way to the catacombs a while ago. His partner called him telling him about the meeting sometime after he woke up in the forest. Midou was hanging back on a wall flicking his lighter off and on while his partner was going over the matches he had seen yesterday.

John

After he had heard the that battles already occurred yesterday he spaced out disappointed he missed the chance to participate. When he finally came back the blonde girl was gone. When he left the sandwich shop he got a message about the next event he made sure to make it early and has been loitering around the entrance since.

Yume Tsuki

Entering the catacombs Yume looked around for any suspicious people, but it was no easy task. There were many people around. She was wearing her usual coat, with the hood covering her head. She noticed Salvador in the mass of people due to his large posture. He seemed to be shaking his head to the salesman she had bought the scarf from. Of course Salvador wouldn't buy anything from that man, those items are mainly used for having an advantage in a fight. She kept her scarf in a small bag she carried with her in case her opponent actually was the murderer. But how would she recognize someone like that? And how was it possible for the murderer to kill someone in an astral battle? Out of habit her arm was resting on the bag. It was her way of keeping her things safe, and it was a pretty natural position due to the bag hanging at the right height. She walked along with the mass of astral battlers keeping an eye out for pink hair.

Nexalas and Denis

Denis was looking around, getting extremely nervous. It wasn't exactly crowded in the catacombs but there were a lot of people, and not to mention his natural fear of the catacombs, which is natural with its chain of dark alleyways and tunnels, he has no idea who could be around the next corner. If not for Nexalas, he would skip tonight's battle, after all Nexalas seemed a little distracted as he often spaced out. Nexalas was thinking about how he'll astral battle tonight, as he doesn't know what his astral will do. He tried communicating, but X wont respond at all,not even with a smart remark. He wondered if it was the fight with Link that got him silent, as his pride was wounded.
So how will this work exactly? Do we just walk up there when its time?
Nexalas looked at Denis as his train of thought was broken. No, usually they call specific names up to fight. Hows your paranoia holding up?
Well, I'm not having constant panic attacks so... okay I guess.
Nexalas thought for a moment, then smiled. Well I'm glad, because the worst part about this is to wait for things to start.
They both sighed, and then waited for the main event to begin, they were at a spot where there weren't that many people, so they ere relatively easy to spot.

Yume Tsuki

Yume kept looking around and noticed pink hair in a less crowded area. She headed right for it and eventually stood behind them. She remained silent. 'Well Yume, what are you waiting for. You're supposed to ask him. Just be like: "Hey, I wanted to ask why you passed out at the tournament yesterday." No wait, that is stupid to ask... Just stay quiet and come up with a better way to ask the question without seeming like a total weirdo.' Curiosity kept poking her, but her shyness kept her quiet.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on February 04, 2014, 11:44:02 PM

Soul

Soul was waiting for the next event to begin, again with his hoodie up to hide himself. It was such a sudden event too, probably nobody expected it. But, as evident by the same faces from the previous night, he could tell that everyone was excited for tonight as well. He noticed the blonde girl acting a little strange next to Nexalas and his friend from the warehouse. He saw a big brute of a man shaking his head to the Stranger. "So now he's in the know as well."

Looking around again he spotted Dagen, surprised that he was there so quickly after the previous incident. He walked over and held his hand up for a fist-bump, and wanted to ask, "Hey, how're you feeling from earlier?", but what actually came out of his mouth was, "Who're you looking to fight with now?

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: The-Blades-slave on February 05, 2014, 01:26:10 AM

Ash and Misty
Ash shivered slightly as he and Misty descended into the catacombs, shaking the rain off his jacket. He could hear the storm still raging, drowning out the shouting and general chaos of the underground meeting. He turned to Misty. "You ready?" whether he liked it or not, tonight was not a normal meeting. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife (or was that just him?), and the noise of the place seemed more intimidating than normal. It was not going to be fun.

Misty nodded, letting her hair out of the normal sideways ponytail and sliding the scrunchy onto her wrist. "Hey Ash, for the record, I think you made the right call with Efi. Something doesn't feel right." The aforementioned boy had been left at the warehouse, asleep on the couch wrapped up in a blanket, book beside him on the table. Most of the time they brought him with them, but Ash had told her not wake him up. He hadn't said why, but the she could guess.

They finally connected with the main group of people. There was the normal hype, pushing and shoving, people making bets on who would be called to battle. Ash heard his name a few times. normally he would have turned to Misty and bragged about how many people knew him, now he didn't even turn around. They could see Sal in the corner, isolated from everyone but a lone hunched figure, who he was shaking his head at angrily. Dagen and Soul were in another corner talking, and Nexalas in his friend a ways away. Neither made an effort to go over to them.

The two were there tonight to help Stan and gain information, not hang around with friends. Ash had actually considered not showing up, but he and Misty had agreed they needed to. He wasn't as well known as the triad, but he was respected in the underground. People would notice his absence... even telling himself that repeatedly, he felt like he had made a terrible mistake.

Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on February 08, 2014, 12:48:01 AM

Nexalas and Denis

Nexalas scanned the crowd when he noticed Ashton and Misty. He was tempted to walk over to them, but he could tell something was amiss. He raised an eyebrow and looked around for anything that might have upset him... what he found instead was the girl who's been standing behind him, and somehow he didn't notice. He looked at her for a moment and then to Denis, seeing that he was oblivious to what was going on. He then turned back to the girl.
Who are you? He could've sworn he met her before, something was jogging his memory when Denis finally noticed her. Instead of screaming and running away as usual though, some of the color in his face drained and he turned away quickly. If I don't look at her she can't talk, if I can't look at her she can't talk... He was trying his best to not freak out, because he knows he's going to have to get used to meeting new people if he wants to compete.
Nexalas then made a motion, as if remembering something. That's right, you were at the Ice Cream Shop and the tournament the day before, but... He raised an eyebrow, looking at her a bit curiously. Who are you exactly?

Efialtes

He had finally made it to the catacombs, he had been walking since he lost consciousness, and regained it on the sidewalk to his house. His book had an extensive set of notes on it, and a cowl. He hadn't donned the cowl yet, not even now that he had gotten to his destination. He was more dwelling on the notes that had been in his books. '...Something about that cowl isn't right... The note said to wear it during my next fight, that it would change us for the better... They said the guy who gave it to them also mentioned the gathering tonight... And that it would be the perfect chance to test it out... But can I believe the notes...? They've done nothing but antagonize me...'

Nonetheless, he eventually complied, donning the cowl. When he did, he felt a surge of...Something, in his arm, more specifically his astral mark. It burned, as if something that shouldn't have been touched, being changed completely. He clutched his arm as he walked, the pain was nearly unbearable.

Eventually, the pain went away. He looked around, trying to see if he could see any of his friends. He saw Ash and Misty, and started off towards them, before his book seemed to appear in his hand...It happened again. The note was actually enough for him to turn around, and walk away from his course to his friends. The note read 'Are you really going to go to your so called friends? They didn't even inform you about the gathering, yet here they are. The left you so you would miss out, so you wouldn't be able to participate. If it wasn't for me, you would have just gone home blind, without ever even knowing...' He would have normally just gone and found Nexalas at this point, but the note had a point, did it not? Nexalas could have informed him too, but he didn't. It was starting to look like he would follow these notes wherever they lead him, which may or may not have been the best idea. He eventually found a spot in a corner he could wait in, and just ponder everything that was going on... It had been a strange day.

Le GM Post: Underground Phase Two- Battle Among Dragons

A voice was heard out of nowhere.

"Welcome, fighters, to round one part two. Due to last night's.... interruption, we are forced to repeat yesterday, but with a different lineup, and a whole new map. Fighters, when your name is called, approach the stations, and commence battling.

Names were listed off, and fighters were heading to their places. Among them, these names stood out the most:

Ash vs Soul
Nexalas Vs Yume
Midou vs Misty
The Grey Fox vs Dagen

"As a consolation, all fighters will receive tilted treetops as an arena. Todays prize, $1000 and an entry into the qualifiers. Your battles will take place in Dragon's Lair. Beware of the beast within."

Sal approached his station and was waiting for his foe.

Dagen jumped up with a smile. "Good luck Soul. We should meet up tomorrow, hang out a bit." He ran over to his station, and waited for his opponent.

Yume Tsuki

Yume was so lost in thought that she got startled when Nexalas spoke to her. "Ah! Uhm... I'm... Yume... I..."

The tournament already started before Yume could properly introduce herself. On the list she saw she had to battle Nexalas. 'coincidence?' She looked back at Nexalas. He didn't seem like a murderer so she should be okay. But she also wanted to make sure the item she bought that afternoon actually worked. Though, was it fair to use it against him? Certainly not. She decided not to use the scarf yet. Maybe for the next round.

Post by: The-Blades-slave on February 08, 2014, 10:52:44 PM

Ash and Misty
Ash shook his head as both his and Misty's names were called. He had known they would call him, they always did. He brought in the most money from bets, and as long as he did that, he would be one of the opening battlers. He hadn't expected them to call Misty, however, and that bothered him. They didn't call newcomers often. He turned to her. "Hey, Mys, you gonna be alright?"

Misty nodded, casting a glance towards the battle area.  "I'll be fine. Know anything about this Midou guy?"

Ash paused, trying to remember why the name seemed so familiar. "Oh, yeah. He's a pyromaniac, both in and out of battle. He's also one of the lead gamblers in the underground, though he bets against himself most of the time. He's not that great a battler, you should be fine. Just be careful of the dragon in the arena, and you should win pretty quickly."

Misty nodded. "Alright, see you after the battles, than. And take your own advice, Ash, and be careful." Without waiting for his response, she set off towards the battle area.

Ash paused for a moment, thinking just how ironic this was. Merely weeks ago he loved always being called in the opening battles, thrived on the loud and hectic environment the underground provided. Now it made him sick. With one alst shake of his head, he set off towards the arenas, ready to battle Soul.

Post by: Humen on February 08, 2014, 11:18:46 PM

Midou

Midou was till talking with his partner. “Misty? Never heard of her." His partner was a bit surprised to hear this. Midou tend to stay on top of fighters and their astrals. “Well she's new to the underground ring but people do seem to be putting the odds in her favor." Curiously Midou replied "And why is that?" All his partner did was point over to her and Midou understood why. Misty was standing with Ash Hakima, a top battler in underground, and they seem well antiquated. "Well if she knows that guy then I suppose it’s reasonable to assume her battling skill is decent at least." Midou smirk leaving to go towards the arena leaving his name partner behind only saying "Brad, put all the money on me I'm going to put this one down before she can rise up." Midou stood ready waiting to start his battle.

John

When John heard his name he immediately ran up to the battle arena. He didn't want to miss his chance to battle again like last night. “Even i of the cops do show up again in going to get my battle on first. Now where is that guy!?" John began looking around seeing if he could spot Lai.

He called after him, "Win your match and I'll buy us lunch!" with a smirk, along with the thought that he would probably buy it either way. Then he hurried over to his station and faced Ash, one of the greatest fighters he would probably ever meet. With a curt nod, Soul held up his arm and waited for Ash to get ready.

Ash and Link
Ash nodded at Soul, tilting his cap back. Even under the circumstances, his heart beat faster, a fire kindling in the pit of his stomach. moments like this made him remember why he fought to keep Astral Battling alive. For ever problem it cased, it gave him even more satisfaction. "Good luck, have fun." he paused, casting Soul one last glance. "And watch out for the dragon." He didn't approve of the use of banned arenas, most were banned for a reason.

His sync band glowed, and he was no longer Ashton Hakima. He was Link, the hero of Hyrule. The cave he was in was dark, cutting vision down significantly. He could only make out vague shapes, but every once and a while flames would shoot into the air, illuminating the cavern. The Warrior quietly shed his hookshot, deeming it would be no use, and drew his sword and shield, awaiting his opponent.

Misty and Sub-Merged
Misty studied her opponent, then nodded and grinned. "Good luck, have fun." The smile faded, and calmness slowly descended on her. her sync band began to glow, and the mark on her chest glowed brightly, barely shining through the fabric of her t-shirt and jacket. Slowly her mindset became more feral, more survival orinted. And then she was gone.

Sub-Merged snarled as she was thrust into a ungodly hot environment, immediately taking to the air. This place was bad, she felt unwanted. She would end this quickly and leave, back to her tribe to hunt in the tundras. She liked the tundras. They were cold. This place was very bad, it was hot.

Midou & Salamander

"Tch. Yeah, whatever." After hearing his opponent spout some words of good sportsmanship Midou raised his fist showing off his red mark letting it glow as blazing red. The eye in Midou's ring began to glow too and Midou had synced in after being engulfed in a bright fire.

Salamander opened his eyes to a scorching hot arena, with pools of lava erupting from the ground and the black smoke rising from vents it reminded Salamander off home. He calmly took a deep breath boasting "Ah, nothing like the smell of brimstone to get you in the mood for a fight." Midou looked at his hand and the ring Midou had shown his was suddenly on his finger."Ugh what did that brat go and do putting this thing on me." Salamander began pulling at the ring but was unable to get it off before noticing the bright blue wolf flying in the air. He prepared a fire ball in one of his hands deciding to worry about the ring later.

Soul and MegaMan

Ash gave him some encouraging words, but they didn't do much to calm his nerves. He pressed his Sync Band and his Sync Mark on the back of his shoulder began to glow a faint slate-ish color. It sort of tingled, like a sense of forewarning.

MegaMan opened his eyes, though he wouldn't have known if he hadn't seen the occasional fire from the arena. "It just gets more and more challenging!" He thought to use the Energy Blade for light, but then thought against it. MegaMan agreed silently, but said to him a few seconds later, "Use the Buster for now, a shot will give much more sight in terms of distance and won't give us away quite as easily. Use the Sword only once he's found us." They nodded and materialized the Buster, waiting for a sound or a sight of the opponent.

Efialtes

Efialtes was unsure who this 'grey fox' person was, but everybody around the underground he would talk too, addressed him as that. He would have normally wrote it off as an elaborate ruse, but people he didn't even know were calling him that. When the grey fox's name was called, he did't go up at first, he just thought he had been mistaken for them earlier, until someone nudged him and pointed up to the synch station. He eventually went up the station, not saying a word. This day just kept getting weirder...

Lai

Lai had been in the midst of the crowd, silently hoping her name wouldn't be called again. She remembered someone telling her about the gathering here tonight... But that was exactly her problem at the moment. She couldn't remember who. She couldn't remember their face, their voice,or even if they existed at all. She remembered them as a person, she remembered conversations they had, but not, who they were. And then, the names were spoken yet again, and hers was among them. She made her way up to the synch station. She seemed a bit calmer, than last time. She was still nervous as could be, but this time she wasn't having a panic attack. "H...Hello. Good luck in the battle...And have fun...!" Her words sounded a bit strained, yet audible. Which was something they were not.

Why is my name on the list?
It's our turn, why else? Just relax and walk up there.
Denis was hesitant, but he nodded and made his way through the newly formed crowd and to the station where his opponent waited. He pulled down his right sleeve, revealing his astral's mark and held out his arm.
Ready when you are.
Nexalas then turned and smiled to his opponent, Yume.
Well Yume, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of fighter you are.
Nexalas walked to their station, readying himself for his opponent. X chose this time to appear before him, a small crystal forming where his illusion appears.
Don't let your guard down, I sense she has a power she may or may not be using.
Even if she does, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as you don't decide to be a control freak like last time I'll be fine... and now that you've decided to start talking with me, we'll need do discuss that later.
X grunted, seemingly looking away in defiance. I wont do that this time, remind me to never give you advice.
Hey X, never give me advice.
He made a furious jester, but then faded away, leaving Nexalas to wait for Yume.

Link
Link glanced around, studying his environment. he had figured out the flames pattern after a moment, it had two. In front of him, to his left, to his right, behind him. Behind him, to his right, left, and then in front of him. The patterns alternated, the first would happen twice in a row, and then the second pattern would come once, and then the first two times again.

With the lighting figured out, he began to search for his opponent. He found him to his right, a strange robot man wielding a cannon like weapon. Link didn't want to find out what it did. he drew his bow, nimble fingers quickly notching an arrow, and aimed it as a blast of flames flared up. As the flames died down and the room was bathed in darkness again, he fired.

Sub-Merged
The wolf smelled flames immediately and dove down, using her nose to track her opponent. A mist gathered around her claws as she hurtled through the air, snarling and howling. As she reached the man of magma, she struck both her front paws forward slashing at him.

(ghost ice passes trhough you, like, a very cold blast that passes through the arm. so cold it burns.)

Yume Tsuki

Yume walked towards the sync station. Nexalas seemed to be talking to someone. Perhaps his astral just like she herself could. "As long as you don't decide to be a control freak like last time I'll be fine..." She could just pick up. 'I see... So his astral took control over that previous battle... She nodded to her opponent and synced in.

Nilakanta

"Okay here's the deal, there is a dragon around here, so be careful not to get caught off guard." Nilakanta looked around. The cave was rather dark. Flames erupted from the ground briefly lighting up the enclosed area. "I don't think the dragon is the only thing we should be paying attention to."

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on February 11, 2014, 01:06:51 PM

Nexalas

He nodded and synched as well.

X

As he materialized in the dark caves, he stretched a bit, glad he's in control this time. As he stretched, he noted the occasional fire erupting from the ground, he should probably avoid that. He then ran steadily through the caves silently, knowing that if this takes too long then the dragon will reveal itself, and if he panics and makes any big noise that it'll echo through the cave and- wait...
What am I doing? I have the advantage.
He stopped, quickly forming a few crystal flowers in front of him. He then ran back a bit, hiding behind a stalactite and forming a throwing knife. He aimed carefully and then threw the knife at the crystals, causing them to shatter against each other and make a lot of noise that echoes through the caves.
Now to wait and hope my opponent heard that and not the dragon...
He took cover behind a stalactite, wanting to make sure he has the advantage of surprise...

MegaMan

The arena was constantly bathed in a fiery light, as flames would erupt from the ground, as though the arena was on top of a dormant volcano. He tried to focus to see if the flames were more than just random, but his nerves got the best of him. Not much longer, as the flames died down yet again, MegaMan could hear a short twang. His nerves still on high, he dove in the direction he was facing, going into a forward roll.

He barely caught it but whatever was fired at him struck the rocks they stood on, and a small spark was created, literally shedding light on the weapon: an arrow. Though it was only an instant, he could form a trajectory from the image. Thank the nerds for making me a program. He fired some warning shots towards where his math told him the arrow came from.

Nilakanta

Hearing a sound of shattering echoing in the distance Nilakanta carefully made her way to her target. She hid with her back against the wall while carefully looking around the corner. On the floor she saw pieces of crystal shimmering in the light of the fire. 'He was here... No doubt. Probably waiting close by. Too bad I don't have any heavy weapons besides my rocket launcher... I'll guess I'll have to do it the careful way for now. I don't know what I'm facing yet...' She heard snorting in the distance, but not sure how far away it was and where it came from with the sound reflecting against the walls. She decided to pick her zap-cannon as choice for the first shot and charged in.

Link
Link rolled to the side, pulling out his sword and shield mid roll, the laser blasts scorching the ground he had been standing moments before. He stayed crouch, shield drawn up defensively, counting down the seconds until the next burst of fire. Three, two, one... A jet of flames flew into the air, highlighting the whole cavern, and Link hurtled towards Mega Man. He drew his sword back and stabbed forward at the robot-thing's chest, shield ready to block.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: WhistfulSoul on February 12, 2014, 12:14:55 AM

MegaMan

As soon as flames had re-illuminated the arena, the green warrior flung himself in the blue bomber's direction, attacking with a straight stab. MegaMan barely had enough time to counter, but he turned enough so he could move his Buster barely enough to partially block the stab. What this resulted in was the sword slicing through his right arm, resulting in a pixelated effect. Now's best...

MegaMan changed the Buster into his Energy Sword, still below Link's sword, and slashed in the direction of his body before jumping backwards and retracting the Sword to hide once again. Crap, I know we want to try to win but how? The best we can do is wait and counter-attack. MegaMan shifted behind the rock to give his left arm more air.

Next best chance I get, I'm using it. You've gotta be kidding me. We've only ever practiced it! On dummies at that. Not something that can think for itself. It's the best chance.

Efialtes

Efialtes was unsure who this 'grey fox' person was, but everybody around the underground he would talk too, addressed him as that. He would have normally wrote it off as an elaborate ruse, but people he didn't even know were calling him that. When the grey fox's name was called, he did't go up at first, he just thought he had been mistaken for them earlier, until someone nudged him and pointed up to the synch station. He eventually went up the station, not saying a word. This day just kept getting weirder...
[SIINTCA]

Dagen and Gix

"Grey Fox huh, cool name. Though a cool name doesn't win battles. Good luck though. Dagen synched in. He took a moment to look around before his foe got in. New arena, new experience. It was dark , except for a few flame spouts here and there. He didn't know much about the arena, but from the sound, he could guess the dragon was huge and ferocious. "Probably best to avoid it if possible. Still a neat place though."

Nexalas and Denis
Nexalas smiled as he saw the list, mildly interested in the fact that he just met his opponent, while Denis was a bit surprised that he was being called up so soon.
Why is my name on the list?
It's our turn, why else? Just relax and walk up there.
Denis was hesitant, but he nodded and made his way through the newly formed crowd and to the station where his opponent waited. He pulled down his right sleeve, revealing his astral's mark and held out his arm.
Ready when you are.

Saland Big Daddy

Sal nodded, and synched in. He was Big Daddy again, and this time, the arena did not favor him. Lava pools, fire spouts. He was born in water, not fire, though his control over it is something completely different. He waited for his foe in an obvious place. No point in being tactical in a place he can't set on fire, might as well go the direct route.

Salamander

The flying beast slashed through Salamander, but he could see no injury across his body. He felt a strange chill go surge through his body but at the center of the impact he felt frigid so much so it began to burn causing him to fall to his knees. Salamander had never known what it meant to be cold. It was surprising and had caught him off guard but it has also raised some excitement he wanted to feel the burning sensation once more, to overcome it and then crush its source. Salamander rose to his feet, turning to the frozen dog, a strange whisper was buzzing in his ears but he paid them no mind and released a torrent of flames targeting the wolf.

Link
Link brought his arm up, the buster sword bouncing off his shield. He stopped momentarily, holding his sword defensively in front of him, and locked eyes with the robot. The icy blue orbs of the warrior easily got his message across: Your move. behind him the cave rumbled, then settled. the warrior remained calm for the most part, but his lax muscles tensed. The dragon was waking up.

Sub-Merged
Sub-Merged zoomed up, the flames licking at her heels. The fiery creature seemed nearly unphased by her assault, almost pleasured. her eyes narrowed and she growled viciously. "Awhroooooooooo!" her howl split the air, and she dove in again, slashing at his face this time with her icy claws.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: Humen on February 12, 2014, 09:07:48 AM

Salamander

The flying hound was able to dodge Salamander's attack if only by a hair. The beast was coming back down to attack too fast for Salamander to dodge so in defense he raised his arms covering his face. Unexpectedly the wolf claws went straight through his arms and face once again leaving no visible wounds sending another chill through his body before the icy burning sets in where he was hit. Salamander began to scream put in pain as the burning sensation spread through his arms and face. But slowly Salamander wails of pain changed to maniacal laughter as he came to the realization. "HA! So if I can't use any defense I'll just have to go into an all-out assault!" Although salamander seemed unfazed by hounds freezing claws it was through sheer pride he was able to hide the pain he was experiencing to laugh preparing for his counter strike. Taking his hands and using them as a mold he let magma pool out his palm  he began shaping it before he hardened it crafting a rough, jagged sword readying himself for the wolfs next attack.

John&Blanka

John’s opponent had finally made her way to the stage. She seemed somewhat anxious but through Johns exigent he didn't really pick up on it. "Alright then let’s start!" John synced in growing into the greatest fighter in Brazil Blanka. He was Taken to a new arena where he found him in a pitch black cave only able to pick up scraps of light to see with the occasional burst of lava shooting from the ground to illuminate the cave.

X

He was in the process of crafting a blade when his opponent revealed itself... at least, he thought so. It was difficult to make her out in the dark, but he definitely saw movement in the dim light of the fire pits. He waited, and then after a moment his opponent charged at the spot where he used his flowers. He could've asked for a little more time as his sword was only normal red at the moment, but it'll do. He then quickly crafted a throwing knife, and then emerged to his opponents right and threw the knife at her for a distraction, not even caring if it hits as he charged at her, deciding to see what her abilities are, up close and personal.

Denis

He quickly revealed the mark on his arm, and as it glowed he felt himself synching with his astral, Kokoshi,

Kokoshi

He opened his eyes and looked around. He felt different in body and spirit, getting really excited for no reason and feeling on top of the world. He then 'focused', remembering he needs to punch someone. He punched his palm, getting fired up.
Alright, wheres my punching bag?!
He then started running down the caves, yelling a sort of battle cry. He then turned a corner and saw his opponent waiting for him in an open space. Kokoshi pointed at him in an accusing fashion.
You there! I'm gonna beat you till your dead, then I'll beat you some more! Here I come!
He charged at his opponent, fists overflowing with his aura.

Nilakanta

Hearing the whistling sound of a thrown projectile on her right. She looked sideways seeing a crystal dagger, and not so far behind it the silhouette of her opponent charging at her with something that looked like a sword. She jumped in the air dodging the dagger barely, twisting to her right and pulled the trigger of her zap cannon at the target flashing the whole area in the light from the bolt that was released from the cannon.

Big Daddy

Another runt screaming how he is going to destroy everything. Big Daddy would have laughed if he could, but instead he waited for his opponent to get close. Once he was in range, he sun his drill and medium speed to deflect the attack. Sal was used to this kind of behavior in the real world, and astral fights were no different. He let out a winterblast for good measure.

Post by: NexosYourGayBestFriend96 on February 15, 2014, 01:22:12 AM

Kokoshi

Kokoshi's eyes widened before he was launched back a bit by the blast. He quickly recovered, jumping up to his feet and dusting off some ice off of his jacket.
Not bad, not bad! It's my turn though!
He had a big, almost goofy grin on his face as he sprinted to his opponent, fist overflowing with aura energy.
Meteor Punch!
He punched at his opponent, some obvious power behind it.

X

He had barely any time to react as the bolt hit him in the left shoulder, burning his skin there and sending a bolt through him. X seemingly chuckled into Nexalas' head.
How are you going to get out of this one? She has the advantage of range if she has other weapons.
I'll think of something.
He already had an idea, crystals forming at his feet as a crystal flower shot up from under him, launching him to his opponent as he spun in the air for a horizontal slash.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy couldn't match his foes speed to block in time, and took a straight shot to the chest, sending him sliding back. He punched his drill into the ground to slow his momentum. In the cave, a loud rumbling could be heard, but soon ceased. After he recovered, Big Daddy sent out an electro bolt in an attempt to slow his foe down. This fight would be over too fast if he can't make it an even field.

Efialtes and Discord

Efialtes shook his head, a bit confused. He didn't speak, before synching, no. But a thought did cross his mind. 'Eh...? He knows who I am, Ash sorta introduced us yesterday, and today again... This is getting pretty weird...' He looked up, about to say something, but the guy was already in the process of synching. He quickly synched, his astral mark glowing as per the usual, brightly through his clothing.

He was no longer in his body, his mind had finished synching, after all. But something was off. He wasn't in Discord's body either, he was in the body of...Something else. The first thing he noticed, were two blades attached to each of his arms. He floated around, pondering a bit about the next thing he noticed...Which was just that. He was floating, no legs. He seemed to be comprised of shadow, a near weightless substance... He quickly started floated someplace else, something was off. As he floated around the cave, looking around, he noticed a flash of light, presumably fire every once and awhile... That couldn't be good.

Lai and Fluffy

Lai nodded, synching as soon as the other did. She was no longer in her own body, but in the thick, hot body comprised of magma, known as Fluffy. She looked around, the magma and fire lighting up her surroundings. She was in a dark cave, but she seemed able to see, what with the fire giving off an amount of light. Every few seconds, however, the light she was giving off would be put to shame, as there was a burst of fire every so often. Instinctively she went in the opposite direction of the fire, as the fire would be a problem, no doubt.

MegaMan

Despite hiding behind the rock, the machine could feel the cold stare of the forest warrior boring into his entire being. The nerves were beginning to set in. Not only was Ash an intimidating opponent, but his astral had the eyes of a wolf, and a ferocity to match. Just, have to wait.

Gix

Gix was walking around trying to find his foe. It was too dark too see anything, except for the few amounts of light the fires emitted. He had no idea whereto go, and wondered if the ground wsa stable. Then it hit him, why not make his foe come to him? He stood in a ready stance and yelled "Dragon Claw!" The claws glowed with a surge of electricity, and a bright light erupted from them, making him, and the area around him, very visible. All he could think was that this is the best idea ever.

Link
Link remained stock-still, sword and shield resting in a standard defensive position. His hair was plastered to his forehead, darker due to being wet, and his palms felt sweaty. It was hot in the arena, unrealistically hot, but Link was sweating nervously. He knew the fight would become much harder in just a few moments, he needed to end it. The dragon was awake and coming, and this knight in not-so-shining armor hated dragons.

The Hylian still remained still, but his eyes began to wander past the rock he thought the robot was behind. Throughout the battle he had remained close to the left side of the cave, and had tried to pressure his opponent to the right. The reason was rather simple; to the left, there was a giant wall of stone, to the right there was an opening. That opening would only be used by one thing... the dragon.

The cave began to rumble more, and the geysers burst with flames more often. The dragon was approaching.

Sub-Merged
The wolves basic attack pattern was repeated again. She dove, claws glowing, and slashed.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: Humen on February 18, 2014, 01:13:44 AM

Salamander

Salamander already prepared could see the wolf's attack coming easily. He quickly stepped to the side dodging the attack letting the wolf pass him by. Then a voice from nowhere shouts to Salamander "Aim for its wings!” The ring on his finger began to glow and Salamander could see target marks appear on the wolf's wings beckoning him to strike them. Unconsciously he followed the mysterious order throwing a flurry of fire balls aiming for the beast wings.

Blanka

Blank could see his opponent off in the distance. It was some sort of molten dog which seemed fitting considering the arena. Having fought many a creature before in the jungle Blanka feared no animal and was more than ready to end this one. Loudly screeching Blanka began beating his chest letting his voice echo through the cave as he built a charge in his body. Then after gathering as much power as he could Blanka smashed his fist into the ground sending electricity rippling through headed for the fire mutt.

Nilakanta

Trying to fly more backwards Nilakanta still got scratched the tip of the blade which screeched when it scratched her metal armor. It would take 30 seconds to recharge her zap cannon for another paralyzing dose, so she had to switch. Her opponent was faster than her, so she needed a wide attack. She decided on the sub machine gun, spraying a rain of bullets after her falling target.

GM at Soul and Blades

The dragon burst through the cave, enraged that the two fighters woke it from his slumber. It could smell out both fighters, and rushed towards the nearest thing, a strange blue man hiding behind a rock. With a swing of his tail, h destroyed the hiding spot, and let uot a deafening roar that made the entire cave shake, and sent the blue man flying back against a wall. It then breathed fire in all directions, lighting up the cave permanently. This thing was now a part of the battle, and it does not choose side. It only craves blood.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining
Post by: The-Blades-slave on February 21, 2014, 07:49:34 AM

Link
Link turned on his heels as the dragon emerged, struggling o keep his balance as the cave trembled. The dragon swung its tail and send Megaman hurtling through the air into a wall, breaking the large rock pillar like it was fine china. He knew not to stand and fight,; that was a gods damned giant dragon, he'd much rather deal with the robot that was shorter than him. It seemed like a slightly easier fight.

With that thought in mind the Hylian dashed across the cave, heading towards mega man and rearing back his sword. If he could end it quickly, while he was slightly out of it, things would be a lot simpler. Vision was no longer a problem making his way across the cave, it was just hard to stay on his feet. Rocks plummeted down from the ceiling, shatter on the cave floor, and magma pillars spewed from the ground constantly. The whole cave glowed.

Link held his shield above his head to shield from falling rubble as he made his way across the cave, and once he had cleared the distance, he stabbed at megaman's heart.

Sub-Merged
The wolf tried to swerve, but was unable. she took the fall brunt of the blast, falling from the sky hard, and landing on the calloused ground. her wings were singed, steam rising into the air, and she was unable to hold back the whimper that escaped her throat as she scrabbled to her paws. She glared down her opponent in the dark, the fires that lit up the cave being unusually quiet. A dark glow followed her thanks to the mist that constantly rolled off her in waves, but her opponent burned like a sun. Neither were hard to see.

Post by: WhistfulSoul on February 21, 2014, 06:09:02 PM

MegaMan

The dragon finally emerged, in a burst of sound and movement that MegaMan hadn't anticipated. It's massive tail rushed through the air, crushing the rock behind him as it sent him hurting across the arena. He slammed into the far wall, his vision flickering and shattering as though it were a TV screen that was broken with a hammer. He struggled to right himself, barely in time to see the dragon flailing about and his opponent rushing in his direction, sword raised.

Barely conscious of his actions, MegaMan raised his right hand and slightly pushed with his left, resulting in his left shoulder being impaled, millimeters from his CPU. His vision flickered again, and he gave a grave smile, aware of his dire situation.

MegaMan opened his eyes in a fierce glare, flared his nostrils in a combination of anger, thrill, and adrenaline. Mustering his entire being into his voice, he shouted DOUBLE HERO!, sending an echo across the entire cavern. In a burst of light, his two arms changed to form his two weapons, preparing to attack.

His vision flickered once again, and the blue warrior's head drooped, before he desynced, his energy reserves depleted.

Soul

Soul opened his eyes, and his knees buckled, sending him down to one knee. His own vision flared, stars crossing his line of sight. He gripped his hand into a fist and punched the floor beneath him, and bit his lower lip hard enough to draw blood. He cursed to himself, disappointed in himself.

X

X's eyes widened when bullets flew past him, most of the bullets missed but a few of them hit him and scraped him in various places. He tried making a guard out of crystal flowers, but it just shattered as he landed on the ground. He immediately ran to get some cover, avoiding a few bursts of fire from the magma pits and taking a few bullet shots. He then jumped behind a stalactite, trying to think of a plan.
So how will you get out of this one? All that did was scratch her.
Stop judging my strategies, now I know she's ranged.
He peeked around the stalactite, noting her current position.
My aim sucks, but if it works...
He put a hand onto the ground, and the spot he touched immediately glowed and giant pink crystal flowers shot up form the ground and then seemingly shot at the opponent. X pursed his lips, this wasn't really a ranged attack at this state, but it was better than nothing.

Kokoshi

He narrowly avoided the bolt as he slid and then ran towards his opponent, his fist overflowing with aura. He made a motion as if he was about to punch, but he then smiled and jumped into the air, his jump boosted by aura.
Power Jump.... Star Kick!
Kokoshi's foot overflowed with aura energy and he fell at high speed toward his opponent, hoping the attack would connect.

Ash
"I told ya to watch out for the dragon, didn't I, kid?" Ash extended a hand for Soul to grab, shaking his head. "That arena's unfair. One second you're winning, or on even ground, and the next you lose because the drag decides he wants to eat you. A lot of the banned arenas are like that. The legals ones only have pests here and there, things you fight off pretty easy. The banned ones have hazards, things like the dragon which... well, you saw what it did."

He shook his head, and motioned for Soul to grab his hand. "C'mon, stop moping. It's not good to look weak on stage, they'll tear you apart."

He looked up at Ash, and grabbed his hand, pulling himself up. I knew I wouldn't win, I just wish I could've done better. But, what can I expect? You're the son of a champ. That and the map was a little unfair, but I like the challenge of the banned maps, makes things fun. Soul shook his head. And I'm not weak, nor moping. Just contemplating.

He looked over to see that most of the other battles were still going on, and a scowl crossed his face, then vanished. Soul chuckled to himself. What kind of luck did I have to face you in the first round?

Ash laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm not that great, had nothing on my Dad." His eyes wandered over to Misty's station, and he stepped off the stage they had battled on. "Misty would tell you I'm just a lucky punk with a bighead." He sighed, shaking his head. "She's gonna give me hell for that battle. She hates it when I do things like that, abuse the arena to win."

The older battler shoved his hands into his pockets, suddenly remembering why he was here. Gotta find the red orb, he thought. I won't let them abuse it. gotta stay focused. He surveyed the place, but only found the normal battlers. None of the Triad or Managers, the official heads of the underground, were here. Stan said they'd be here, just gotta keep my eyes peeled.

One of the coordinators pulled out the red orb, and activated it. He figured Ash wouldn't be the murderer, since his dad died recently, and now that he was out of harms way, the orb would take care of the real killer. Every synch station in the room lit up with an eerie glow. The spectators were stunned, while the inside of every arena became more dangerous. The dragons on each stage awoke, and began their rampage.

He narrowly avoided the bolt as he slid and then ran towards his opponent, his fist overflowing with aura. He made a motion as if he was about to punch, but he then smiled and jumped into the air, his jump boosted by aura.
Power Jump.... Star Kick!
Kokoshi's foot overflowed with aura energy and he fell at high speed toward his opponent, hoping the attack would connect.

Big daddy used his drill to block again, spinning it to change the momentum of the attack. It felt strange though, as the shock from the hit actually hurt. It made his wrist feel almost numb. Normally, this was no problem, but it never felt like that. Out of nowhere, the dragon burst through a cave wall, spewing fire in every direction. Big Daddy motioned to his foe to get out of the way, and ducked as a fireball barely missed him. Now this battle was getting intense.

X

Suddenly, he felt pain on his leg and shoulders, and gasped in surprise as he examined a few bullet wounds. It hurt. It actually hurt, as if it was happening to his real body.
What the...
Watch out! I sense a dark energy interfering with the match, and messing with our synch. I'll try suppressing it, but for this match...
I'll feel everything you feel, kinda got that part already, and right now I'm really appreciating your pain tolerance.
He stood back up, the pain starting to numb a bit.

Kokoshi

He narrowly dodged a few fireballs, a bit in awe at the dragon.
Wow! I've never actually seen one of these dragons up close!
Suddenly a thought occurred to him from Denis's consciousness, this match started right away and it hasn't been that long. Isn't the dragon a bit early? He then shrugged it off and ran towards his opponent while dodging the fireballs, getting burned in a few places while his fist overflowed with energy.
Meteor Punch!
He punched in an uppercut motion, aiming at his opponents chest.

Nocturne

He was drifting through, occasionally muttering random words to himself. He was attempting to figure out what he could do, but he had a problem. That light...It couldn't be good. It instilled him with fear every time it came to be, something about that fire was...Wrong. As he drifted through the cavern, he heard someone...Yell? Something about...Claws... He very quickly changed from his course, quickly drifting towards the sound he heard. As he rushed through, the light levels expanded about a million-fold. Whatever was causing them, was now awake and active, and coming for both of them... He seemed to speed up his pace, as he rushed through looking for his opponent. He was however, continuing his course in the direction he heard the original noise. As he was going, however, the fire, and the light that comes with it, got closer, and closer.

Fluffy

The Hound rushed at her opponent, breaking her original path as the electricity cracked up through the ground, the hound jumping to the side, doing one thing. The hound stopped to Howl. As if on cue, mid howl, the entire arena seemed to grow in danger, as the occasional light seemed to grow... Something felt wrong... Whatever was causing the light, was awake, and it was angry... The hound, nonetheless, started off at a slow pace, staring down her opponent...

Soul

The stone- boy noticed a change in the atmosphere, not just the air but the entire crowd seemed to tense as one. Ash seemed to be on guard for something, but what it was Soul couldn't tell. He turned to ask, Is everything...

As he did, a shift in the battlers and the arena's they battled on was apparent. The dragons on each stage roared in unison, signaling their appearance. That can't be safe. Almost immediately after, each battler seemed to wince through their sync, as if actual pain permeated their beings. I don't mean to be rude but if there's something that's putting everyone in danger, including ourselves, I'd like to know. He gave the older battler an intense look, not to be intimidating, but rather inquiring and concerned.

Salamander/Midou

Salamanders attack had landed and the wolf fell from the sky whimpering helplessly. Salamander dragged his jagged sword across the ground slowly approaching the injured hound. In normal circumstances he'd be proud and overjoyed with bringing down such a beast but knowing it was the voice that directed his attack was the reason he felt bits of sorrow. “Midou our agreement states I am allowed to fight battles my way." Salamander began talking out loud directing his voice to the man in his head. “I am well aware." "Then why have you added your influence to this match!? I heard you shout the order in my mind and force my hands to act." Midou was unsure what Salamander meant it seemed like he was hearing things. This wasn’t much of a stretch considering his mental state. "I have no clue what you’re going on about.”

Salamander was about to retort at Midou but he had finally made his way up to the hound still whimpering at its singed wings. Salamander raised his sword above his head as he stood in front of the ice wolf. Just then the best that lives within the cave burst through. The dragon roared charging towards Salamander and the injured beast

Blanka

The wolf had sidestepped his attack and ground continued to shake even after Blanka's attack had subsided. The atmosphere in the cave felt like it was getting more violent. Blanka shook this feeling off putting his focus on his opponent. Back flipping in the air Blanka curled himself into a ball before spinning towards the fire beast.

Fluffy

The hound of fire was more concerned about what she saw coming towards them, than the green ball headed her way. She saw a giant, hulking dragon. Heading their way. And to be honest? It was going to kill them, if they didn't kill each other first. She started running away, getting hit by the spinning enemy, knocking the hound into a wall. The hound let out nothing but whimpers, eye'ing the giant predator that was nearing them..

Gix

Gix was put off by a massive shockwave. He looked up to see some kind of shadow creature being chased down by a dragon. "Holy shi..." The dragon let out a menacing roar that forced him to cover his ears. Now the battle was going to get intense. He knew his target, and the only way to win was to take him down head on. He used his speed to head toward the nearest wall, and after jumping off it, he spun like a drill towards his foe. He had no time to yell his attack this time, he had to work fast.

Big Daddy
The attack was a direct hit, sending Big Daddy airborne and hitting the ground hard. He slowly got up, but clutched his chest. It hurt a lot more than it should. He tried to convey his sense of worry to his foe, but the dragon let out another bout of flame, and he desperately use winterblast to stop some of the fire balls heading his way. One was heading straight to his foe, but he sent a winterblast to try and save him. He had a feeling that this match was not going to end well.

Ash
Ash was silent for a moment, looking Soul over. Then he nodded. "I'm assuming you know of the tragedy twenty years ago, the one that made my dad famous, killed 16 battlers, and got the sport banned? Yeah, that one. Anyways, there's something not many know about, what actually killed the battlers. It was just an orb, slightly bigger than a bouncy ball. Stan called it the red orb." He paused, eyes on the ground. "It made anything that happened in the battles real, if you lost an arm, you lost an arm in real life. If you died, you lost your life."

His story broke off, and for a second he was silent again. "Earlier today, when Stan called us into the back room of the warehouse, away from you guys. He told us there had been another murder, Luke and Kat. then he told us there would be a red orb here tonight." The son of the champion smiled wearily, rubbing the base of his neck. "You can see why I'm a little worried. So many battles tonight with a red orb here, that could be activated at anytime... Not good."

"I know, we should have told you earlier. You and everyone else, but Stan made us promise to keep it on the down low." Ash looked at soul apologetically, the brim of his hat hiding his eyes. "Sorry, Soul." His gaze wandered up, guiltily away from Soul, to the monitors that portrayed the battles. He noticed one had released the dragon, and frowned. The dragon in he and Soul's match ahd come out because of how one sided it was, but none of the others should be out this early. He caught sight of another battle with the dragon rampaging,a nd another, and another... his eyes widened and he swore. He was too late. "No... they activated the red orb!"

Sub-Merged/Misty
sub-Merged howled, a fiery blast from the dragon hitting her side, rendering her immobile. The sword cleaved her from head to shoulder. Mistydesynced immediately, slamming back into her body with a scream. Her arms felt like they were on fire. It hurt so bad to move, and she almost vomited when she saw her sleeves scorched black like they'd been burned.

Gathering herself, she peeled back the burnt fabric, salty tears dripping onto her burned flesh, making it sting more. It took her a moment to put it together. The red orb was on. It took her another moment to realize she shouldn't be alive, she'd had her head cut off in the battle. Burns should have been the least of her problems. The red orb have been dulled after so long.

She turned to move, to leave and tell Ash what was going on. Her arm brushed the side of the stadium, and she screamed in pain again.

Ash/Misty
"Aaaah!" Ash's eyes widened and he swore, fists clenching. "Myst!" He tore through the crowd, bowling over and leaving Soul behind. Be alright, Myst. Please be alright! His heart beat against his chest, and he cursed himself for not being able to move faster, cursed the damn crowd for getting in his way, cursed the mother fuc-Then he was there, at the edge of the stadium before her.

Her hair been knocked out of places, flowing unevenly down her shoulders, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Her green eyes were red from crying. He caught sight of her arms and he clenched his fist even harder, knuckles turning white an nails digging into his skin, drawing blood. "Myst, what happened?" Even to him, his voice sounded choked up.

Misty looked down at him. "Something that happened in my match. My wings got burnt, it must have transferred over... Ash, they activated the red orb." Her eyes widened whens he realized the weight behind what she just said. "Oh god, Ash, they activated the red orb!" She had been lucky, she knew that, but she knew others wouldn't be so lucky.

"You have to find it!"

Midou

After he landed the final blow to the wolf Salamander desynced before the dragon could attack. Back in the real world Midou stepped of the stage as if disappointed in the match."Hmph one pluck of a feather and that entire mutt can do is whine. Pathetic." Looking back Midou saw the girls hands looked like they had just been burned and her sleeves scorched. "Was she in that condition before the match." he began to ponder before disregarding the thought taking his attention back to what really mattered, collecting his winnings.

Blanka

Blanka saw his attack land successfully and watched as the flaming beast whimpered in fear. Assuming it was cause of him he began to approach wanting to finish the match before a shadow loomed over him and he realized what the beast truly feared. Looking over his shoulder Blanka saw a creature like no other and Blanka found him unable to move out of shock.

Soul

Dazed by the sudden rush of information coupled by Ash shoving himself through the crowd, Soul stood gaping for a moment before he realized that everyone in a battle was still in danger. His attention darted from battle to battle, making sure no one was incapacitated entirely, and found that Dagen seemed unperturbed by the happenings.

He looked over the crowd, barely getting a glimpse of what appeared to be Misty, sprawled on the floor, crying and cradling her arms. Her opponent, the one who Soul remembered to be somewhat of a pyrotechnic, seemed indifferent to what he had caused. Soul scowled, but knew he could do nothing to help. He did, however, shuffle closer to the general cluster of arenas, in case anyone was in need of immediate attention should their battle end.

Title: Re: [RP] Galactic Underground|Night|Raining

Ash and Misty
Ash didn't move for a moment, the gears in his head turning. he hadn't been hurt, so the red orb had only recently been activated. Misty's opponent was smiling and making snide remarks, uninjured, while her arms were burnt. Top top it all off, the commotion had only started as Misty and this guy's battle had ended. It all pointed to one thing; Midou had the Red. "You son of a woman, is this part of your damn betting circle?"

Ash lunged across the stage, grabbing Midou by the collar and slamming him into a wall. He was the taller of the two by a good three inches, and bulkier. "Turn it off, right now. Turn it off or I'll make you pay." He snarled down at the gambler, breathing heavily and eyes filled with rage. His hat had fallen from atop his head, landing on the ground behind him in front of Misty.

"Ash, he doesn't have it! He's just an arrogant ass." Misty tried to pull Ash off Midou and winced, biting her lip. She didn't have time for this, they had to find who really had the orb. "C'mon, we have to find the orb before anymore battles end."

The raven-haired teen shook his head, letting Midou slide down the wall, back onto his feet. "Myst, I'll find. You're hurt, you gotta sit this one out." He could see she wasn't going to listen, and looked around for a solution. "Soul! C'mere. I need you to keep Misty out of harm's way while I find the red orb."

"What do you mean keep me outta harm's way, whose gonna keep you safe?" The redhead wanted to smack him, but knew it would just hurt her arm more. She knew he was right, that she would be no use, but it hurt her pride to let him go alone. "I don't need a baby sitter, especially someone younger than me!"

Ash glanced at her pleadingly, knowing he needed to get going, but not wanting to leave thinking she would follow. "Myst, you and Mom are the only people I have left... Please, keep yourself safe. for me." Like that her defense crumbled, and she gazed it him through tear filled eyes.

"Fine, Ash, I won't go after you."

His demeanor changed instantly, and he turned to Soul. "Misty will xplain the rest of what's going on, but I need you to make sure nothing else happens to her and keep an eye on the other battlers. I have to find the red orb." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and tossed it to Soul. "Call Stan, he's in my contacts. Tell him what's going on."  He cast Soul one last glance, and the nodded. He turned and ran towards the back of the catacombs, where the officials would be.

Midou

Midou was suddenly thrown against the wall by an emotional Ash Hakima. He had Midou pinned and began accusing him of hurting the girl screaming about some orb. The girl calmed him down and after a heart felt and frankly stomach curling moment he left leaving some other guy to look after the girl. Midou had no clue what he was accusing him of and hen it was all settled he began walking off  passing by the . But just then a voice went off in his head, similar to the one with Salamander. "That one is an obstacle but the girl is his strength. Finish her here and break his will to go on!" Midou didn't know where the voice was coming from but he unconsciously followed its orders. He coldly grabbed hold of Misty's burned arms clenching them tightly and a small faint glow could be seen coming off his mysterious ring.

Post by: The-Blades-slave on February 24, 2014, 12:39:23 PM

Misty
Misty watched Ash disappear into the crowd, so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice Midou approach her. She gasped in pain when he grabbed her arm, whipping around to glare at him. She couldn't find her voice for a moment, and when she did, her breathing was labored.  "Let.... Me... Go.." She knew she couldn't make him let her go, he was taller and stronger than her at her best, much less incapacitated. She felt helpless, and Misty Williams hated feeling helpless.

She had felt helpless at some of the most tragic moments in her life; when she had lost her parents, when her sister had lost her temper and told her that she was a mistake, and when she had heard about Daylin's death. She had always laughed at the damsel in distress in all those cheesy movies, remarking to Ash that it was a bad stereotype for women, but right now she fit that description perfectly, and she hated it. "Let me go!"

Ash

Ash struggled through the crowd, working his way deeper into the catacombs. The place deteriorated the farther you went, in some places the only thing holding the roof up being the newly instilled steel bars. he didn't like being down here, but this was where the nonbattlers resided. The Managers and triad were always back here, though most didn't know it.

He found the group of peopl he was looking for soon enough, running smack into a tall man with spiky brown hair and startling green eyes. It was Blue, a member of his older brother Red's gang. "What are you doing down here? If you're looking for Red he isn't here." the man glared at him suspiciously.

"I-I'm looking for one of the managers, people are really getting hurt out there." Well that's not a total lie, Ash thought, he doesn't need to know about the red orb.

Blue looked him over, and then nodded. "I'll fetch one." He strode off, glancing back to shout over his shoulder, "stay there!".  Ash nodded at the man, and as soon as he was out of sight, began to frantically survey the room.

It was just groups of rich men with too much money talking and bragging, the red orb isn't here, he thought. He still continued to look, unable to remove the image of Misty's burnt arms from his mind. If he failed, others would get a lot worse.

His gaze froze on a group of men talking about something in awe, one waving around something a bit larger than a small stone. Something red, and slightly smaller than a small stone. The red orb! Ash was about to take of sprinting for the man, but he saw Blue returning with a tall man in a tuxedo. He swore, and did what he always did in these situations; trusted his gut. He took off running for the group of fancy men with the red orb, prepared to punch the man out, take the orb and run.

He got halfway there, several members realizing what he was doing and shouting a warning, before a hand reached out of the wall and pulled him into darkness. He struggled wildly, unable to speak thanks to the hand clamped over his mouth. "Ash, it's me. Red." The raven haired man immediately tensed, opening his eyes to see his older brother Kaylen"Red" Hakima, eyes widening. Why was he here, in the middle of a dark hole in the wall that no one knew about?

Post by: WhistfulSoul on February 24, 2014, 04:44:31 PM

Soul

Ash beckoned him over, asking him to watch over Misty. He was surprised to be entrusted with such a task, considering he knew, (if only slightly), how much Misty meant to Ash. The guy tossed him his phone, saying to call Stan and explain the situation. He was still a little dazed by everything, but he kept it hidden, not wanting anything to take him by surprise.

As soon as he turned the phone on, however, the opponent who had left such marks on Misty walked over and grabbed his arms. Soul caught the movement out of the corner of his eye, but the full of the situation was at the front of his mind. Oh shi- Not gunna happen. Holding the phone in his right hand, he aimed a quick jab at the attackers stomach with his left. Not waiting for results, he ducked underneath the two's clasped arms, used his left to push Misty away, and went to elbow the jerk in the chin. He may be younger, but he was just as large as the other and was prepared to do what was needed to keep himself and Misty safe.

Nilakanta

Caught in the hail of crystals stabbing her she tried her best not to scream in pain. She heard a loud noise of static booming out of her communication gear. "What the--! Yume, what's going on!? "Gah... What the hell..." "Don't tell me, that guy!?" Nilakanta watched her enemy who seemed to flinch for a while at the pain her bullets caused previously and was about to get up again. The ceiling above her crumbled a bit when heavy footsteps sounded in the distance. 'I wont let that guy kill my partner...' She swapped to her rocket launcher. "What the-! What are you doing, the whole cave might collapse if you use that!" Nilakanta pulled the trigger...

Kokoshi

    Kokoshi was about to sprint and punch his opponent, but he noticed something odd... was he cringing in pain? Not only that but his opponent seemed to be trying to tell him something... He was about to ask what was wrong, but suddenly the dragon spewed fire balls at the both of them. Kokoshi made a defensive motion to cover his face, but the fire ball that was heading his direction seemingly faded into steam as his opponents ice attack blocked the dragons attack. Kokoshi raised an eyebrow, and turned to his supposed opponent.
    Uh... Thanks!
    He was confused as to what to do as he stepped back from the dragon. His opponent seemed to be in pain and he almost forgot the dragon could go after him as well. But his opponent, instead of taking a victory, protected him. However, before he could question what was going on much more he felt a searing pain in his left arm as he carelessly backed away towards a lava pit as it spewed fire. He bellowed in pain and immediately ran for cover, examining the burn on his arm and feeling every bit of  the pain, unlike before...
    Then he realized his opponent was in danger as well, and nearly knocked himself out with a slap with his good arm. He ran to his opponent's aid, he had no idea what he just did to him actually hurt. This normally wouldn't bother him, but considering he was just saved from a ball of fire, he felt like a complete moron.

X

    He cringed again, barely holding back a yell of pain as the bullet wounds took their toll, he couldn't even stand. If he knew this would happen, he would have been much more careful.
    So much for being numbed by shock... I'll have to find another way... Wait, could she have...!
    Realization hit him like a truck, he then looked to his opponent with a mix of rage and confusion as she was ready to use a bazooka after taking that hit and yelling in pain. This must have been that power X was talking about before the match! Realizing he was in immediate danger, he slammed both hands to the ground and rode a crystal flower toward another stalactite.
    Dammit, I should've been more careful!

Nilakanta

The missles missed their target when her opponent jumped in the air. The homing system trying to bend upwards to follow it's target but collided with the ceiling while it was making its wide turn. The impact was too much for the ceiling and with a loud noise the ceiling was cracking over their head. Stalactites got loose and dropped to the ground and big pieces of rock fell down. The dragon could barely move to evade with the crystal daggers stuck in her limbs. Before she knew it she got hit by a rock on her back and fell down on the hard floor while the rest of the ceiling covered her body.

Yume Tsuki

When Yume’s mind returned to the real world she gasped in pain, it felt like a few bones had snapped, but to her relief she only bruised her ribs. She coughed up a little bit of blood. She noticed stab wounds on the places her Astral had been hit by the crystal knifes. She bit her tongue preventing herself from screaming in pain. She breathed irregularly. She looked at her opponent in disbelief, it was impossible that he could be the murderer. She felt she would faint from the pain if she wouldn't sit down so she slowly slid to the ground sitting down until the feeling would disappear. Trying to grasp what exactly happened. She looked around and saw a few participants who actually died. "What the... Does this mean the user doesn't have to participate himself?" She whispered. Her mind went blank. She just couldn't think anymore. She just stared at the ground, waiting for the pain to pass.

Big Daddy

Now that the two were on mutual terms, Big Daddy used his drill to point to the large dragon, indicating that they need to be smart if they want to survive. He resolved not to harm his foe, for fear of accidentally killing him. Nightmare clause was somehow activated, and he didn't want to kill a newbie. The dragon unleashed more fire, and Bid Daddy pushed Kokoshi out of the way, and barely dodging a few himself. The dragon was causing rocks to fall, increasing the danger.

Discord

The being of shadow was more focused on running than anything. The rampaging beast behind him, had all of his attention at this point. He turned away from the dragon, to see what was infront of him, just intime for what looked like a drill to go straight through his arm. He somehow...Didn't die, though. He kept moving, he felt like he had lost power, but his arm seemed to regrow, using part of the shadow's that had made up the rest of his body. '...Okay, I've got to try this out later. This is actually...Pretty cool.' He seemed to slow down a little, turning around to look at the opponent who had lopped off his arm. He spoke as he moved, his voice sounded...Off. And it was. As it wasn't his voice, nor anyone's he knew. Rather, all of the voices he had ever heard, his entire life. "Hey, let me give you a...Hand. There." He threw his arm at his opponent, hoping for it to hit them. As it flew, he noticed it left what looked like a trail of darkness...And followed it. He felt...Weak, now. He was at his smallest, he could tell that as he flew into the trail. As the hand stopped short, he shot out of the shadow trail, blades slashing towards his opponent.

Fluffy and Lai

The hound couldn't move. She had never found a creature she feared...And this...Well, this was it. It was something she hadn't seen before...A predator, that  can hunt her. The dragon loomed forward, before doing something. The dragon's massive front leg's raised up, and came back down, as it's mouth came forward with it. The last thing that the hound saw before Desynching, was the dragon's head coming down, closing over the green, beast like enemy's head, right as vision was lost, as the leg came down crushing...It looked like it was a tie.

When Lai came too, she felt an immense pain. It felt as if something had literally crushed her, she felt as if she should be dead...She not only looked as if she was in pain, she looked...Terrified. As if something had scared her beyond belief... Over all, one thing anyone could tell. Was that she was not, okay.

(I have permission from Humen to do what I did with the dragon, ask him, he'll say I did.)

 Nexalas

He suddenly felt himself un-synch, and when he opened his own eyes, his entire body felt numb, but he had a piercing headache. He looked to his opponent, who he had just heard yell in pain. Nexalas experimentally tried getting up, now acknowledging that he was on his knees. He couldn't feel anything, but he soon started regaining feeling. He checked under his shirt to see if there were any bullet wounds, and there were wounds, but they were more like scrapes than bullet holes. He calmly assessed the situation: pretty soon the shock will fade and he'll start feeling unbearable pain, Yume opponent is badly wounded, and some of the battlers in the other synch stations started dying. He froze for a moment in fear, realizing that Denis and some of the others were still synched and were in grave danger. He tried not to panic as he walked to his opponent, holding her a hand.
Here, can you stand? We need to get you medical attention.
He knew whoever was behind this was in the crowd, but to run in and hunt him down would be foolish as he had no idea what to even look for... He had to put all his faith in his friends to make it out alive.

Kokoshi

He ran out of the way of a few big rocks as his opponent pushed him out of the way to safety from the fire-balls, and decided it was time to do something risky. He stomped his foot onto the ground and took as stance as if he was about to charge. He looked to his opponent.
I'm gonna use my ult on it, it's the only thing that can take down something this big!

Yume Tsuki

The girl didn't speak, taking the hand. Her body protested to standing up, but she managed. Her mind was still blank, focusing on resisting the pain. In her mind she saw the image of the scarf she bought from the mysterious man that afternoon. She had to use it next time. If the next astral battles are going to be like this one the chances of dying would be high. Then she realized something: These weird events so far always happened at the tournament. First the cops surrounding the building yesterday. Now the large amount of dying astral fighters.

John

The dragon wasted no time quickly and easily finishing off both John and Lai they desynced virtually at the same time. When John desynced he fell to his knees unable to feel anything past his neck. He gasped for air falling over to his side before finally catching some air and giving out a loud, hoarse cough. When he looked up it seemed he may have gotten of easy seeing his opponent tremble in fear and pain. "Well that was certainly an exciting match." John let out a lighthearted chuckle trying to ignore the fact he almost suffocated.
