School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[Chrosis]

"Just hang on boy, we will get you down from their" he said. In reality, it was probably better to leave him in the wall.

"When you patched up, I have something to give you" Kelly said as he continued to watch over Peter.

Peter didn't hear the last part, though, as he had passed out from the pain.

OOC: G'night, all.

[Miburohunter929]

"What are ya going to do" Wilks said as he looked fo a place to drop off the injured person.

"Hey, by the way, what is your name?" he asked the following student.

"I'm Dean Gatlain" He said simply. "And you are...?"

[Kevin M.]

"I'm Dean Gatlain" He said simply. "And you are...?"


"Wilks" he answered simplay. "Wilks "The one man riot" " he answered.

[The Dog]

"You okay, Eh?" a voice asked Selma.

A blond haired, long nose mand in a black outfit stood over her with an out streched hand.

"Everythign working as it should be?"

Natalie answered Selma with a cough.

"Ja, I just was not ready for volatile energy. Wolf dorm...what are they planning? They have life energy, black magic, and most unnatural creations. I would expect better from them! How are you Selma?"

"Ye-yeah, I'm OK, both of you." Selma said, coughing lightly as she shook her head to clear the cobwebs clear. She accepted the stranger's hand and pulled herself to her feet before turning to Natalie and offering her a hand.

Natalie stood and looked at Samuel. She had a look at his neck as she placed her right hand on it. Immediately a pricking sensation shot through it, causing her to start back. She yelped, then looked upon it with astral eyes. Nothing.

Yet on Samuel's neck, the scratches, though still bloody, seemed to absord energy from the environment.

"What is it? Is there something on me or something I should know about?" Samuel asked, raising an eyebrow in concern as he noted Natalie's reaction after touching his neck.

[Kholdhearted]

She bit her lip. "Yeah..."

FLASH

A girl, maybe twelve or thirteen years old. Her arms around a boy a few years older. He is wounded, bleeding. They are surrounded by fire and shapes made out of broken metal. She's crying...

FLASH

She sat down next to him an gently put a hand on his shoulder. Her eyes were getting moist. "Yeah, I do."

"Are you ok?" Henry asked, seeing the tears forming, he delved into her mind and saw the flashback.

"Di..Did you lose your brother, Rhia?" he said softly, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

[Kevin M.]

"Ye-yeah, I'm OK, both of you." Selma said, coughing lightly as she shook her head to clear the cobwebs clear. She accepted the stranger's hand and pulled herself to her feet before turning to Natalie and offering her a hand.



"What is it? Is there something on me or something I should know about?" Samuel asked, raising an eyebrow in concern as he noted Natalie's reaction after touching his neck.


"Up ya go" Jason said as he helped Selma.

"Take ya time miss, were going to get you fixed up good as new"

[Miburohunter929]

"Wilks" he answered simplay. "Wilks "The one man riot" " he answered.

"I have to admit." Dean began. "When I though about how I thought this day would go, I didnt quite envision this part of the story."

[Kevin M.]

"I have to admit." Dean began. "When I though about how I thought this day would go, I didnt quite envision this part of the story."


"Yeah" Wilks said. "Guess that little girl gives new meaning to "Going out with a bang.""

[Ghost]

"Are you ok?" Henry asked, seeing the tears forming, he delved into her mind and saw the flashback.

"Di..Did you lose your brother, Rhia?" he said softly, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

She shook her head. "Almost. I almost lost him." She smiled at him. "It's a long time ago now. But I still remember the feeling..."

[Froggy]

The brotherly love made Ramus reminisce on his own brother, Igneel. Iggy a he called him, was only five, and not into the whole fighting scene, but would he be?

"No..he wouldn't'

[The Dog]

Anselm scratched his head, looking around in curiousity as he asked Kelly "if you don't mind me asking, what exactly happened just now? I saw it, but I still don't fully understand what went on."

[Kevin M.]

"Get up ya pussy" Willy yelled at a fallen member of the wolf dorm. "Come on before a stick my sword up your ass, and carry ya like a flag"


Matsumoto and Robert were bussy tending to another member of the wolf dorm.

"Just keep breathing" Robert said. "You will live"

Matsumoto bent down, and began to use pressure points on the victims chest, helping ease the pain.

[GrampaGen]

"Ye-yeah, I'm OK, both of you." Selma said, coughing lightly as she shook her head to clear the cobwebs clear. She accepted the stranger's hand and pulled herself to her feet before turning to Natalie and offering her a hand.

"What is it? Is there something on me or something I should know about?" Samuel asked, raising an eyebrow in concern as he noted Natalie's reaction after touching his neck.

Natalie wasn't so sure herself. As the elemental energy flowed into Samuel from the environment, the wounds appeared to close.

"Estraunlich. I think I just healed you? But I've never been able to do that before."

"Up ya go" Jason said as he helped Selma.

"Take ya time miss, were going to get you fixed up good as new"

Natalie looked at the strange man, and decided to make an introduction.

"Ah, gutentag. I don't believe we have met. Mein name is Natalie Schroeder!"

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Damn, is everyone doing NPC Char time? I may have to also, just to be cool. :cool:

OOC: Hell, it's filler time for like 12 hours :D go nuts

[Kholdhearted]

She shook her head. "Almost. I almost lost him." She smiled at him. "It's a long time ago now. But I still remember the feeling..."

"Thats good to hear." Henry said, smiling back. Strangely enough, being in Rhia's company almost removed all his worries from before. He was still concerned about Sirus's well being but he was definitely in a better mood. Rhia seemed to do that to him a lot.

"So Rhia, I have a question thats been on my mind for a while. I'll say it mentally so no one can hear and you can reply mentally as well. Its a bit personal though, do you mind?"

[Kevin M.]

Anselm scratched his head, looking around in curiousity as he asked Kelly "if you don't mind me asking, what exactly happened just now? I saw it, but I still don't fully understand what went on."

Kelly turned to Anselm.

"It seems that someone planted a cyborg amoung us" he said looking at the blast center.

"I guess someone wanted to take out Dragon dorm....weather it be by combat...or by a self destruct" Kelly noted.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Hell, it's filler time for like 12 hours :D go nuts

OOC: Now, should I NPC Jon or Illias *ponders*

[Ghost]

OOC: Hell, it's filler time for like 12 hours :D go nuts

OOC: Still, if people could just sort of start to gravitate towards Rhia's general position, you know like within hearing range or so, that would be pretty great. ;)

[Kevin M.]

Natalie wasn't so sure herself. As the elemental energy flowed into Samuel from the environment, the wounds appeared to close.

"Estraunlich. I think I just healed you? But I've never been able to do that before."



Natalie looked at the strange man, and decided to make an introduction.

"Ah, gutentag. I don't believe we have met. Mein name is Natalie Schroeder!"


Jason bowed to Natalie. "The names Jason Blackford" he said. "It is nice to meet someone as pretty as you"

[Ghost]

"Thats good to hear." Henry said, smiling back. Strangely enough, being in Rhia's company almost removed all his worries from before. He was still concerned about Sirus's well being but he was definitely in a better mood. Rhia seemed to do that to him a lot.

"So Rhia, I have a question thats been on my mind for a while. I'll say it mentally so no one can hear and you can reply mentally as well. Its a bit personal though, do you mind?"

"Go right ahead," Rhia said. "I don't mind."

[Kevin M.]

OOC: Still, if people could just sort of start to gravitate towards Rhia's general position, you know like within hearing range or so, that would be pretty great. ;)


"You did good out there" Robert said to Rhia. "You should be proud of yourself little lady"

[Kholdhearted]

"Go right ahead," Rhia said. "I don't mind."

'Why haven't you told anyone you are a princess?' Henry said mentally, 'Do you fear that you would get special treatment or that people would be intimidated by you?'

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Still, if people could just sort of start to gravitate towards Rhia's general position, you know like within hearing range or so, that would be pretty great. ;)

OOC: Never. Nah, give it time, princess.

"Yeah" Wilks said. "Guess that little girl gives new meaning to "Going out with a bang.""

"What the hell was a girl like that doing here anyways?" Dean asked, replaying the end of the match in his mind. "I dont think blowing everyone to hell is an acceptable battle tactic."

[Froggy]

Ramus sat next to Rhia and Henry, waiting and wondering aloud. "Man......I owonder if they'll let us write home after the tournament...stuff is crazy"

[GrampaGen]

Jason bowed to Natalie. "The names Jason Blackford" he said. "It is nice to meet someone as pretty as you"

Natalie opened her mouth, but lost the words for the moment. She just smiled widely.

"Dankeschoen. Are you one of the alumni Lerher Mourne talked about?"

[Kevin M.]

OOC: Never. Nah, give it time, princess.



"What the hell was a girl like that doing here anyways?" Dean asked, replaying the end of the match in his mind. "I dont think blowing everyone to hell is an acceptable battle tactic."


"I don't think that it was going for a clean win" Wilks said. "It was like it wanted to take out as many people as it could possibly could" Wilks looke back at Dean.

"Speaking of which, how did a girl like that get into Arcadia in the first place?"

[Kevin M.]

Natalie opened her mouth, but lost the words for the moment. She just smiled widely.

"Dankeschoen. Are you one of the alumni Lerher Mourne talked about?"


"Yep. They called me the "Sub-zero demon" when I graduated ten years ago"

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Still, if people could just sort of start to gravitate towards Rhia's general position, you know like within hearing range or so, that would be pretty great. ;)

OOC: I think Natalie, Selma and Samuel are, actually. We just got exploded a lil, that's all. As for why Natalie doesn't probe psychically, her powers are relatively underdeveloped, plus Henry is there.

[Ghost]

'Why haven't you told anyone you are a princess?' Henry said mentally, 'Do you fear that you would get special treatment or that people would be intimidated by you?'

Rhia's eyebrows shot up, but as in the case of Xellos, she wasn't really surpised that he knew.

'I... I guess a little bit of both,' she replied. 'It's not that I'm ashamed of what I am or anything. I just... All my life I've been Princess Rhia su Khanda. Everyone I've ever known who wasn't family has always treated me like I'm all special because of my bloodline. I just... I guess I just wanted you guys to like me for who I am.'

[Ghost]

OOC: I think Natalie, Selma and Samuel are, actually. We just got exploded a lil, that's all. As for why Natalie doesn't probe psychically, her powers are relatively underdeveloped, plus Henry is there.

OOC: Still, it would be great if you guys came and talked to her. I have a big scene all planned out and I'd hate not to get to use it to it's full potencial.

[Miburohunter929]

"I don't think that it was going for a clean win" Wilks said. "It was like it wanted to take out as many people as it could possibly could" Wilks looke back at Dean.

"Speaking of which, how did a girl like that get into Arcadia in the first place?"

Dean shrugged slightly, not thinking to deeply about the question. "Hell if I know. No one ever bothered to explain the admission standards to me. Still, it's unsettling to think such a small "Girl" could toss those guys around like dolls, and then go all kamikaze on us. For a moment there, I didnt think Peter would even be able to damage it."

[Kholdhearted]

Rhia's eyebrows shot up, but as in the case of Xellos, she wasn't really surpised that he knew.

'I... I guess a little bit of both,' she replied. 'It's not that I'm ashamed of what I am or anything. I just... All my life I've been Princess Rhia su Khanda. Everyone I've ever known who wasn't family has always treated me like I'm all special because of my bloodline. I just... I guess I just wanted you guys to like me for who I am.'

Rhia how could we not like you for who you are? Your bubbly friendly attitude, your warm smile, those eyes... Henry stopped abruptly, blushing, realising what he was saying and decided to change the topic before he got himself in an embarrassing situation.


'Anyway, I liked you for who you were just fine, even knowing you were a princess.'

[Kevin M.]

Dean shrugged slightly, not thinking to deeply about the question. "Hell if I know. No one ever bothered to explain the admission standards to me. Still, it's unsettling to think such a small "Girl" could toss those guys around like dolls, and then go all kamikaze on us. For a moment there, I didnt think Peter would even be able to damage it."


Wilks just smiled.


"Trust me, when you go out into the world, you see shit like this every other day"


OOC: Good night everyone. :)

[GrampaGen]

"Yep. They called me the "Sub-zero demon" when I graduated ten years ago"

"Ja? Wunderbar! I happen to be friends with another ice mage," she remarked, pointing to Xellos in the distance,"Though I suppose with that sword of yours, your channeling method of the astral energies is more like Selma's ja?"

[Kevin M.]

"Ja? Wunderbar! I happen to be friends with another ice mage," she remarked, pointing to Xellos in the distance,"Though I suppose with that sword of yours, your channeling method of the astral energies is more like Selma's ja?"


"You could say that" Jason said. "It also helps that I like to skinny dipping in the middle of winter to" he said with a big smile.

[Miburohunter929]

Wilks just smiled.


"Trust me, when you go out into the world, you see shit like this every other day"


OOC: Good night everyone. :)

"That's a comforting thought" Dean said with a heavy sigh.

OOC: Farewell.

[Ghost]

Rhia how could we not like you for who you are? Your bubbly friendly attitude, your warm smile, those eyes... Henry stopped abruptly, blushing, realising what he was saying and decided to change the topic before he got himself in an embarrassing situation.


'Anyway, I liked you for who you were just fine, even knowing you were a princess.'

'I know it's silly,' Rhia thought and blushed slightly. 'I guess I'm just enjoying being just Rhia for once. I'd like to keep it secret a while longer, if that's okay.'

[Kholdhearted]

'I know it's silly,' Rhia thought and blushed slightly. 'I guess I'm just enjoying being just Rhia for once. I'd like to keep it secret a while longer, if that's okay.'

'Your secret has been safe with me for a while now. I see no reason for that to change.' Henry said with a bright smile.

[Ghost]

'Your secret has been safe with me for a while now. I see no reason for that to change.' Henry said with a bright smile.

"Thanks, Henry," Rhia said out load, smiling back. "You're a great guy."

[Kholdhearted]

"Thanks, Henry," Rhia said out load, smiling back. "You're a great guy."

"I think you're pretty awe inspiring yourself. Don't you ever change." Henry replied, putting his hand on her shoulder.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Dog and Kevin left :(

Natalie parted from the Ice Swordsman, leaving Selma to him for the moment. Still laughing from his joke, she was in brighter spirits than she had been for a while. The guilt and fear of Selma being illusorry and the confessions made, she felt ready to go forward once more.

Spotting Rhia in the crowd, she decided to report to her on everything that had transpired outside the arena.

"I think you're pretty awe inspiring yourself. Don't you ever change." Henry replied, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Gutentaaaag!" she sang out, then suddenly noticed Henry next to her.

"...oh, sorry, am I interrupting anything?"

OOC: brb in a bit

Rhia blushed a bit more. "Nah. Me and Henry are just... talking. How are you?"

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Dog and Kevin left :(
OOC: brb in a bit


OOC: Indeed. I might as well go catch up with you guys, what with everyone else disposed of at the moment :D

[Kholdhearted]

Rhia blushed a bit more. "Nah. Me and Henry are just... talking. How are you?"

Henry nodded and looked to Natalie, Rhia pretty much taking the words out of his mouth.

[Ghost]

OOC: brb in a bit

OOC: T_T ...

[Miburohunter929]

Dean, having finished his conversation with Wilks, left to go find something to eat, preferabally a pizza. After several minutes, he noticed Henry, Rhia and Natalie, and decided to check up on them.

"Yo." Dean said simply, addressing his friends.

[GrampaGen]

Rhia blushed a bit more. "Nah. Me and Henry are just... talking. How are you?"

Natalie gushed.

"Selma smiles again! I cannot believe, but she is happy! And I met her teacher, he's a wise man and alumnus of Arcadia with great mystical power...but Selma, she didn't want to kill me, instead she just needed to let me in, and so did I, oh Rhia, Henry, everything is so wunderscheinn!"

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I can't believe they didn't notice the black hole in the arena. :D

OOC: Tsk tsk...there is no greater avatar of gravity we know of than the black hole. If you're conceiving of it now, what will you do in the future? Wait, silly me. 2 black holes tearing the opponent apart!

[Ghost]

Natalie gushed.

"Selma smiles again! I cannot believe, but she is happy! And I met her teacher, he's a wise man and alumnus of Arcadia with great mystical power...but Selma, she didn't want to kill me, instead she just needed to let me in, and so did I, oh Rhia, Henry, everything is so wunderscheinn!"

“Really!” Rhia exclaimed. She became so happy for these news that she jumped out her chair and gave Natalie a spontanious hug. “That’s great! Natalie, that’s wonderful!” she laughed.

Letting go of the other girl, she drew a deep sigh of relief. “Wow. I don’t think anything can ruin my mood now!”

“MAKE WAY FOR THE SOVEREIGNS OF KHANDA!”

Rhia blinked. “Oh no.”

A group of people had appeared at the scene, closing in on them. First came the one who had just called out; a dark skinned man in Khandian clothes. He was followed closely by Master Isha. Just after them came a man and a woman:

They were flanked by three masked bodyguards on each side:

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Rhia groaned.

”Make way for King Kiran Rha Rohana su Khanda! Make way for Queen Raksha Mani Rohana su Khanda!” the herald bellowed.

“That’s enough of that,” the man said with an annoyed glance. “I think they get the picture.”

“RHIA!” the woman cried out and ran up to the same, embracing her in a tight hug. “I was so worried! Are you alright? You haven’t called us for months! Are you hurt?”

Rhia sighed, admiting defeat. “Hi mom,” she said. “Hi dad.”


OOC: Pwned! How’s that for an NPC introduction, biyatches!? XD

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Tsk tsk...there is no greater avatar of gravity we know of than the black hole. If you're conceiving of it now, what will you do in the future? Wait, silly me. 2 black holes tearing the opponent apart!

OOC: His next tech is gonna be where he tosses one after another at the opponent:P

[GrampaGen]

“Really!” Rhia exclaimed. She became so happy for these news that she jumped out her chair and gave Natalie a spontanious hug. “That’s great! Natalie, that’s wonderful!” she laughed.

Natalie was abruptly shoved away by the Queen of Khanda. Or rather, she sidestepped the tall woman as she leapt forward, seemingly unaware Rhia was in a conversation.

Backing away, she bumped into Isha, bouncing off of the old man's surprisingly sturdy chest. She nodded awkwardly to him and looked toward Rhia.

"Soverign? Your father is the King of an oriental nation? So that means...oh my."

She quickly fell down to her knees and bowed, shuffling backward from the procession as it continued to fill the space.

"Oh no you don't!" Rhia said, disentangling herself from her mother. "That's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to avoid! You stand up on your feet and get back here right now, Natalie!"

"Ah, you're already giving orders like true royalty!" King Kiran said with a grin.

"Not helping, dad!" Rhia put a hand over her eyes. "Great! It was all going so well, too!"

[GrampaGen]

"Oh no you don't!" Rhia said, disentangling herself from her mother. "That's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to avoid! You stand up on your feet and get back here right now, Natalie!"

Xellos laughed inwardly. The current rulers of Khanda were certainly a...flamboyount pair. Perhaps when the reunion feeling was less prevalent, he'd introduce himself. Khanda was a prominent customer of his company, benefitting from its raw material shipping. Some the technology obtained from the country through espionage had certainly helped increase its power by an appreciable margin. Having good personal relations with its rulers would certainly help matters.

Still, the world was not aware of just how advanced Xanatos industries was, nor its true purpose...

[Ghost]

"Ahh! I'm not worthy to stand there! I yelled at the princess earlier today! I confess!"

"You yelled at my daughter!?" the king exclaimed. "Unforgivable!"

"Shut up!" Glaring daggers at her father, Rhia ran over to Natalie and grabbed her shoulders. "He's just kidding! Nat, please, don't be like that! I'm still Rhia, okay? You can yell at me all you want!"

[FalconX2000]

"Ahh! I'm not worthy to stand there! I yelled at the princess earlier today! I confess!"

Xellos saw his two-fold oppurtunity. He stepped beside her,

"Its alright Natalie. Rhia is our friend first ain't she?"

He waited for the inevitable responses, both from his friends and from Rhia's parents.

OOC: And I'll be back later to reply to said responses.:D

[GrampaGen]

"You yelled at my daughter!?" the king exclaimed. "Unforgivable!"

"Yes Sovereign! I understand, ja!" Natalie replied intimidated as she stood, bowing three times, eyes on the ground.


"Shut up!" Glaring daggers at her father, Rhia ran over to Natalie and grabbed her shoulders. "He's just kidding! Nat, please, don't be like that! I'm still Rhia, okay? You can yell at me all you want!"

"Yes Princess! I mean Rhia! Ahh! Sorry Princess Rhia! I'll continue to yell at you! Scream if I..."

King Khanda widened his eyes and curled his lips, his Queen furrowing her delicate brows.

"Ahh! No! Not like that!"

[GrampaGen]

Xellos saw his two-fold oppurtunity. He stepped beside her,

"Its alright Natalie. Rhia is our friend first ain't she?"

He waited for the inevitable responses, both from his friends and from Rhia's parents.

OOC: And I'll be back later to reply to said responses.:D

Natalie nodded, then shook her head, then nodded again.

"But we acted so crudely in front of foreign royalty even as she was so diplomatic, ja?"

The masked troops grunted and whispered to each other, the glint of their sabres catching the eyes.

Natalie put a hand over her mouth and clamped it shut.

[Ghost]

"Yes Sovereign! I understand, ja!" Natalie replied intimidated as she stood, bowing three times, eyes on the ground.

"Yes Princess! I mean Rhia! Ahh! Sorry Princess Rhia! I'll continue to yell at you! Scream if I..."

The masked troops grunted and whispered to each other, the glint of their sabres catching the eyes.

Natalie put a hand over her mouth and clamped it shut.

Suddenly, Raksha let out a chiming laugher and approached them.

"You must be the classmates of my daughter, right?" she asked. She squatted down so that she could look Natalie in the eyes. "Don't worry, child, we're not mad at you. I can tell you've been a good friend to Rhia." She gave Kiran a glare. "My dear husband is just naturally annoying, that's all."

Kiran tried his best to look offended, but the smile quicly broke through. "Bah. No one can take a joke these days."

[KamenRaida]

Xing could only watch the battles unfold in absolute terror. The conclusion of the three on one match left an unfamiliar fear coursing through Xing's heart. As he had told Wei before, though he despised making harsh judgements on others, he could only find himself thinking only the worst thoughts of the Wolf Dorm. That hatred, however, could not compare to the fear he felt, and knowing his battle would come soon enough, Xing could only shake in his seat in fear.

I didn't even allow myself to prepare that much for this tournament. All because of that voice.... Who was he... Xing shook his head. No, I shouldn't allow myself to think about this. I must focus myself on what is to come. I cannot allow myself to hesitate should the next fight be mine.

====

OOC: And since everyone's pulling out their NPCs :p

IC:

The Dragon Dorm had not been the only peoples to be there to support their members. In the case of a mysterios member of the Wolf Dorm, 'support' would not have been the correct term to use.

"Oh, how disgraceful that battle was! So without finesse, so without style! I am insulted to have been dragged here to watch this.... this.... circus!"

Spinning on the spot, the figure continued his lament, "It would appear that in the end, I must be the one to handle this! I, Jose Carlos!"

OOC: Bleh, I feel unusually wasted after school to make anything too imaginative with him @___@

Suddenly, Raksha let out a chiming laugher and approached them.

"You must be the classmates of my daughter, right?" she asked. She squatted down so that she could look Natalie in the eyes. "Don't worry, child, we're not mad at you. I can tell you've been a good friend to Rhia." She gave Kiran a glare. "My dear husband is just naturally annoying, that's all."

Kiran tried his best to look offended, but the smile quicly broke through. "Bah. No one can take a joke these days."

Despite being a low level telepathic, Natalie had little subconscious control over her gift; it wasn't reflexive. As the royal couple broke into smiles at their joke, she pulled her hat over her head as her face turned a shade of apple red.

"...mein Gott, I would have known, they are your parents after all..."

The thin youth was growing more bored by the second. It seemed Dragon Dorm had a penchant for destroying the ring, creating great delays for the wizards and alchemists to clean up. Excruciatingly tiresome, he had come to watch battles.

"Who is left from the scattered Mongrel Pack, fakes, cheaters, yet adrimarbly elegant in their brutality?"

Just then he saw their bleachers, most prominently, a boy his age, twirling a baton and spinning on his tip toes. He was not amused.

"How in the maw of Tartaros did he ever get admitted to Arcadia?"

Performing a number of absolutely flawless back flips, Jose made his way to the lone figure nearby, achieving an elaborated hand stand of his final slip before slowly placing both feet onto the ground.

"I say, you look to be a man that knows how to enjoy a battle." Then waving a hand over the audience, Jose continued, "Of course, I suppose you can say that all that have attended this event must have some taste for such an art to have watched this, wouldn't you say?"

"Of course, we, the artists are then left with the duty of offering them a performance like none other, wouldn't you say." Then putting the back of his hand to his forehead, Jose looked up with closed eyes to the heavens, "Alas, my pack is nought but a group of uncultured ruffians, holding little appreciation for the aesthetics of battle! Though I felt the idea of participating in this tournament would be selfish of me, putting everyone here at risk of the beauty of my art, I felt that it would be even more cruel to deprive the lot here of what a true battle should be like! Woudn't you say so yourself, Mr...?"

IC: The tall youth started walking. The way this guy carried himself was, in a word, annoying. Even so, the speed of his routine allowed him to cross the distance between them - half the arena - in impeccable time. He raised an eyebrow before he responded.

"Unculture? I hardly think you have any idea of what you say when you open that hole of yours," he glowered,"No, battles aren't supposed to be pretty. Struggle is never pretty. But that in itself makes it excel. Fighting, scraping, the high of survival, that is beauty. Flips and barrels and...cartwheels...are superfluous nonsense."

The two continued to walk until the youth had reached his seat. His fellows laid their eyes on him, then stared intently at Jose. The tall youth tousled his curly hair, then picked up a shield that lay on the bench, engraved with a Spartan Lambda.

"By the way, my name is Janos Tantalus. Lion Dorm." He smirked.

"...mein Gott, I would have known, they are your parents after all..."

"I'm sorry I kept all this secret," Rhia said and sighed. "All of you, I'm sorry. I just... wanted to be Rhia. Not 'Princess Rhia' and definitely not 'Her Royal Highness'..."

"Not wanting to be defined by your title is all well and good," Kiran said, now serious again. He gave his daughter a wry smile. "But maybe it's just as well; you shouldn't deny what you are, it's not healthy in the long run."

Rhia sighed. "Yes, father."

Kiran nodded. "Well! Glad to have that over with." Suddenly, he got a rather grim expression as he looked around. "Now can somebody please inform me what in the names of all the gods and devils is going on here? Where are your teachers? And why did one of the contestants just explode!?" He started doing grand gestures with his hands as he spoke. "Is this something that happens often and this school of yours? Should I be worried?"

His eyes narrowed. "I agreed sending my daughter away without protection because she asked me to, and because I belived Arcadia to be a safe place. Now I'm not so sure anymore."

Hmm...only 6 members left!

Natalie was at a loss for words. She really had no answer for this.

Meanwhile, Kekowa had come too, looking a bit like a human scab. As medic hauled him by on a stretcher, he gave his two cents on the matter.

"...no...we killed...a...Dragon....

But that in itself makes it excel. Fighting, scraping, the high of survival, that is beauty. Flips and barrels and...cartwheels...are superfluous nonsense."

Jose just managed to stop himself from gasping at the sheer audacity this rube had to speak in as disrespectful a manner as he did. Why, the only time Jose could remember being this insulted was the time his team-mate, Jon, had waved a 'hi' to him and actually demanded a response when Jose refused to return the greeting. Of course, there was also that time when Jim decided to replace Jose’s cologne as a ‘joke’. Well, that Neanderthal obviously had a crappy sense of humour because as far as Jose was concerned, body odour was no joke. And Albert? Well, Jose had to admit, white hair was quite hot, and Jose could respect the man for that, but that sword? Complete turn-off! Never mind that Albert kept carrying that damn thing around. Oh, and seriously, what was it with Ki/ Magic users and blasting things to bits? Such were the cases for Oman and Suzume, and Jose seriously did not have enough fingers AND toes to count the number of times he’d been pissed with them. Then, there was Sasami. Seriously, artificial girl or not, one could not be allowed to commit so many crime against fashion and be allowed to get away with it!

But, back to the matter at hand, Jose struggled to grin, disgusted as he was to grace such a heathen with his million-dollar smile, and said, “Well, I suppose we cannot expect everyone to share the same tastes. I suppose there is some art in a good scrap every now and then, but surely, the masses will grow tired of it, yes?”

The two continued to walk until the youth had reached his seat. His fellows laid their eyes on him, then stared intently at Jose. The tall youth tousled his curly hair, then picked up a shield that lay on the bench, engraved with a Spartan Lambda.

"By the way, my name is Janos Tantalus. Lion Dorm." He smirked.

Jose stared at his companion’s colleagues with obvious disdain. Still, Jose supposed he could chalk what he was going through now as another good deed on his part. There at least needed to be one pretty face in this crowd of ugly folks, no?

“Ah, a wonderful name, I must say! And I take it this lot are your pack? Or would pride be a more appropriate word? And my, that shield! If I am not mistaken, is that pattern not of Spartan origin? Ah, truly a fascinating warrior race, the Spartans. I daresay, they are second in terms of artless form only to the warriors of Old Nevada.”


OOC: Come on, I couldn't help putting in the Old Nevada reference, or Jose dissing pretty much everyone on his team. :p

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: See! Old Nevada does exist! In your fucking face, Hunter!

[KamenRaida]

OOC: It would rock so hard if an actual Old Nevadian actually appeared for an appearance, even if it's just for a quick and completely pointless cameo! God, that'd make Hunter crap in his demonic pants. :p

OOC: It would rock so hard if an actual Old Nevadian actually appeared for an appearance, even if it's just for a quick and completely pointless cameo! God, that'd make Hunter crap in his demonic pants. :p

OOC: Yeah, It would make an awesome location. It could be the Ruins of Old Neveda, where we have to fight the Undead Zombie Versions of the mighty warriors of old!

I can almost see this scenario happening.

Hunter: How the hell is this possible!? Nothing in history suggests that this could even exist.... This... This is madness!

Zombie Nevadian: THIS IS NEVADA! *kick*

:eek:

[The Dog]

His eyes narrowed. "I agreed sending my daughter away without protection because she asked me to, and because I belived Arcadia to be a safe place. Now I'm not so sure anymore."

"Why not just take a step back and relax a little Kingy."

All eyes turned to Samuel McClane, who, moments ago, was nowhere to be found. Now, he was standing next to Kiran, an arm around his neck, smiling at him.

"I can assure you personally that this is without a doubt the safest place for your daughter to learn... Exploding little homonculi-girl thing non-withstanding." Samuel said, smiling at Kiran.

"sensei..." Selma muttered, rubbing her forehead, running up to the group as Samuel moved over to Raksha, draping his arm over her shoulders as he said "Now you... you I like Miss. You know how to relax and not take everything so seriously. Go with the flow and all that."

Selma moved to Rhia and whispered "I apologize for him... Please tell your parents that."

"Now... what seems to have the royal panties in a bunch?... You know, besides the exploding little homonculi-girl thing. I mean any other problems that you might have." Samuel said, still smiling, arm around Raksha.

[Tami]

Tamiko smiled, feeling happier than she ever thought possible. "So I guess this means were offically dating? Boyfriend and girlfriend? I just wanted you to know that I don't have much experience with this."

Selma smiled and casually took Natalie's hand in hers, entwining their fingers as she said "I'm coming Natalie, I'm coming!"

"And I thing I'll take you up on that offer Natalie after the tournament is over so that we can have a bit more privacy..." Selma said, then added "Or if you want, we can do so now."

Selma walked silently for a few moments before saying "Natalie, maybe we should talk to Rhia, Tamiko, and the others so they can know that the problems between us are over with."

"Hate for them to continue worrying about us when there's really nothing to worry about." Selma added before looking to Natalie and asking "So, how about it?"

Tamiko and Justin headed back towards the others, walking closely together, talking softly and smiling. As they talked, Justin placed his arm around Tamiko's shoulder to give her an affectionate, yet brief hug. Tamiko looked up, smiled, then took his hand in hers. Justin smiled slightly, then squeezed her hand as they made their way back to the waiting area.

[Ghost]

"Why not just take a step back and relax a little Kingy."

"Now... what seems to have the royal panties in a bunch?... You know, besides the exploding little homonculi-girl thing. I mean any other problems that you might have." Samuel said, still smiling, arm around Raksha.

There was a small, collective gasp from the Khandians, who all took half a step back, including the king and -perhaps more worrying- the bodyguards.

Raksha's face emidiately turned to stone. Her eyes widened and a small twitch appeared in her left cheek.

"Oh no..." Rhia mumbled. "Not good."

All of a suddenly, Master Isha was standing next to Samuel. "Allow me," he said and resolutely removed Samuel's arm from Raksha's shoulder, after which he dragged the same over to Kiran again.

"Never do that again!" he hissed in Samuel's ear. "Are you tired of living, man?"

Fortunately, though Raksha still looked as if she was about to explode, she remained content to glare daggers at Samuel and muttering something about diplomatic immunity.

With a small sigh of relief, Kiran cleared his throat and adressed Samuel. "I commend you for your courage. However, I would ask that you introduce yourself. Are you one of the instructors from Arcadia?"

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Just as a note, I think I can afford for a fight so long as it stays within a one and a half hour time frame in about 14 hours from now

[The Dog]

With a small sigh of relief, Kiran cleared his throat and adressed Samuel. "I commend you for your courage. However, I would ask that you introduce yourself. Are you one of the instructors from Arcadia?"

"Ah, where are my manners? I do apologize." Samuel said, before bowing and saying "My name's Samuel McClane, glad to make your aquaintence. And no, I'm not an instructor at Arcadia, merely a graduate from its hollowed halls."

Any trace of his former humorous nature dissapeared as he straightened up and said "Unfortunately, something most troubling has seen the need to call me from my home in Yonkers to assist my old school."

Turning to Raksha, Samuel bowed low, flashed her his a smile, and said "If I had previously invaded your personal space or something, then I do apologize for my previous transgression."

[Ghost]

Turning to Raksha, Samuel bowed low, flashed her his a smile, and said "If I had previously invaded your personal space or something, then I do apologize for my previous transgression."

Raksha smiled back and gave Samuel a look.

This look communicated a very clear message; Samuel McClane, know that in my mind there is a list of names and faces of everyone who has ever dared offend me. You are now on that list, possibly forever, so you better be very careful from now on because I'll be watching you and if you ever step out of line I will make you regret you were ever born a man.

"Apology accepted," Raksha said, only a bit too sweetly. "Think nothing of it."

"Well then," Kiran said nervously. "Master McClane, what can you tell me about this incident? Why have you been called, and why did the girl explode?"

[The Dog]

Raksha smiled back and gave Samuel a look.

"Well then," Kiran said nervously. "Master McClane, what can you tell me about this incident? Why have you been called, and why did the girl explode?"

Samuel returned her look with one that communicated ther very clear message; Bring it on. You aren't the first, and you most certainly be the last to take offense with me. I relish the challenge, and I eagerly await the day for the two of us to meet in a less than genial situation.

"I thank you then," Samuel replied, his own voice hiding his true emotions. "And I do apologize."

Turning to Kiran, Samuel became serious as he moved in close to the King and whispered so only he could hear "Unfortunately, I don't know much about why the girl exploded, because the only time I've seen someone explode is because of the work of an alchemist. From what I saw, the girl was in that battle alone, and none of her opponents were alchemists, especially one of the calibre necessary to transform humans into explosives of this magnitude."

"However, I can tell you I have been called because a man named Solarius is going to attack the school either during or after the tournament. He is such a threat that the teachers are calling all the assistance they possibly can to prepare for his eventual attack."

"And if I were to take a guess, the girl who exploded was more than likely a part of his attack, since that's the only possible option for such an event to take place."

Straightening up, Samuel smiled as he said "Now then, how about I show you some pictures of Selma from when she first started training with me. She was so cute its almost unbearable."

Selma's face paled and she covered her eyes with a groan.

[Ghost]

Samuel returned her look with one that communicated ther very clear message; Bring it on. You aren't the first, and you most certainly be the last to take offense with me. I relish the challenge, and I eagerly await the day for the two of us to meet in a less than genial situation.

"I thank you then," Samuel replied, his own voice hiding his true emotions. "And I do apologize."

One of Raksha's eyebrows arched only a fraction, and her smile didn't waver. if anything, it seemed slightly more earnest.

"I think he actually managed to impress her," Rhia whispered to Selma.

Turning to Kiran, Samuel became serious as he moved in close to the King and whispered so only he could hear "Unfortunately, I don't know much about why the girl exploded, because the only time I've seen someone explode is because of the work of an alchemist. From what I saw, the girl was in that battle alone, and none of her opponents were alchemists, especially one of the calibre necessary to transform humans into explosives of this magnitude."

"However, I can tell you I have been called because a man named Solarius is going to attack the school either during or after the tournament. He is such a threat that the teachers are calling all the assistance they possibly can to prepare for his eventual attack."

"And yet they brought the students along?" Kiran whispered back. "Madness! I shall have word with the faculty about this."

"And if I were to take a guess, the girl who exploded was more than likely a part of his attack, since that's the only possible option for such an event to take place."

Straightening up, Samuel smiled as he said "Now then, how about I show you some pictures of Selma from when she first started training with me. She was so cute its almost unbearable."

Kiran' grim mood vanished as by a miracle. He beamed at Samuel. "Really? Oh, had I only brought my own; Rhia was such an adorable child!"

Selma's face paled and she covered her eyes with a groan.

Rhia's face turned red, but she still couldn't help but snicker. "Is he always like that?" she asked Selma.

[The Dog]

One of Raksha's eyebrows arched only a fraction, and her smile didn't waver. if anything, it seemed slightly more earnest.

"I think he actually managed to impress her," Rhia whispered to Selma.

"Well, Sensei has never been one to step down from a challenge. No matter what the challenge is or who the challenge-maker be. Your mother made a non-verbal challenge, and Sensei accepted it, even after knowing who your mother is." Selma whispered back.

Kiran' grim mood vanished as by a miracle. He beamed at Samuel. "Really? Oh, had I only brought my own; Rhia was such an adorable child!"

"Well, maybe the next time we meet you can bring some of Rhia." Samuel said, pulling his wallet from a pocket on his gi and opening it, a long line of pictures in a plastic carrier fluttering from the wallet to the floor.

Showing Kiran the one of the pictures, Samuel beamed and said "Now this is Selma after she gained her first belt. Look how happy she is. I was so proud of her, finally recognizing a talent few could actually see."

Rhia's face turned red, but she still couldn't help but snicker. "Is he always like that?" she asked Selma.

"Yes." Selma muttered, still covering her eyes as she did so. Thank you... dad. Selma thought, a small smile crossing her face in spite of herself.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"I'm sorry I kept all this secret," Rhia said and sighed. "All of you, I'm sorry. I just... wanted to be Rhia. Not 'Princess Rhia' and definitely not 'Her Royal Highness'..."

"Not wanting to be defined by your title is all well and good," Kiran said, now serious again. He gave his daughter a wry smile. "But maybe it's just as well; you shouldn't deny what you are, it's not healthy in the long run."

Rhia sighed. "Yes, father."

Kiran nodded. "Well! Glad to have that over with." Suddenly, he got a rather grim expression as he looked around. "Now can somebody please inform me what in the names of all the gods and devils is going on here? Where are your teachers? And why did one of the contestants just explode!?" He started doing grand gestures with his hands as he spoke. "Is this something that happens often and this school of yours? Should I be worried?"

His eyes narrowed. "I agreed sending my daughter away without protection because she asked me to, and because I belived Arcadia to be a safe place. Now I'm not so sure anymore."

"Nowhere that collects such....unique students could be considered entirely 'safe', Ou-sama," piped in Kagura respectfully.

[Ghost]

"Well, Sensei has never been one to step down from a challenge. No matter what the challenge is or who the challenge-maker be. Your mother made a non-verbal challenge, and Sensei accepted it, even after knowing who your mother is." Selma whispered back.

Rhia chuckled. "I wonder if he does. My mother is quite formidable."

"Well, maybe the next time we meet you can bring some of Rhia." Samuel said, pulling his wallet from a pocket on his gi and opening it, a long line of pictures in a plastic carrier fluttering from the wallet to the floor.

Showing Kiran the one of the pictures, Samuel beamed and said "Now this is Selma after she gained her first belt. Look how happy she is. I was so proud of her, finally recognizing a talent few could actually see."

OOC: Damn, I now realise it would have been far more hilarious if Kiran actually carried his pictures with him as well. :D

IC: Kiran studied the pictures with genuined interests, going "Oh!" and "Ah!" and "How precious!" as Samuel kept talking.

"Nowhere that collects such....unique students could be considered entirely 'safe', Ou-sama," piped in Kagura respectfully.

"Not exactly a good reason for him to stop worrying, though," Django added under his breath.

[Kevin M.]

Willy eyed the group of new arivals and their bodygurads with suspiction.

"Why do you need all that crap?" Willy said as he watched on.

"Seems like a waste of money to me" Jason said. "You could probably buy your own college hockey team with the case needed to pay those guys"

"Yeah, looks like someone don't want to get hurt" Wilks added.

Matsumoto only remianed silent.


Kelly just laughed as he saw this. "It's get's more interesting the more this little game gose along"

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"Not exactly a good reason for him to stop worrying, though," Django added under his breath.

"Not really, but the world is what it is," replied Kagura.

[The Dog]

Rhia chuckled. "I wonder if he does. My mother is quite formidable."

"Well, my sensei can be quite formidable himself. I for one don't wish to be around should they ever come to blows." Selma replied with a small chuckle of her own.

Kiran studied the pictures with genuined interests, going "Oh!" and "Ah!" and "How precious!" as Samuel kept talking.

Selma covered her face with both hands, her face going bright red as he did continued showing Kiran the pictures. One would believe that Samuel was her father the way he was acting and the way Selma responded.

Leaning over to Rhia, Selma whispered "Rhia, do me a big favor and knock me out... Please."

Less apprehensive about the formalities now that Samuel had broken the ice. Natalie went up behind him and the king as they went through the old photographs.

A blonde child in a gi sticking her tongue out at the camera. Another of her pouting, two hands on the metal handle of a bucket of water. And still another of her attempting a handstand, the loose gi top flopping over her face leaving her belly button exposed.

She couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Aww, die hubsch kinder~! How old was she, Samuel-Sensei?"

[Ghost]

Willy eyed the group of new arivals and their bodygurads with suspiction.

"Why do you need all that crap?" Willy said as he watched on.

"Seems like a waste of money to me" Jason said. "You could probably buy your own college hockey team with the case needed to pay those guys"

"Yeah, looks like someone don't want to get hurt" Wilks added.

"Actually, it's really more the other way around," Isha said as he walked up to them. "You see, those guards are mostly just for show. They're the best fighters our royal academy could produce, but compared to the King and Queen themselves, they aren't very strong at all."

He smiled at them. "You might say they protect Kiran and Raksha from the trouble of having to 'hurt' would-be assassins themselves."

"Well, my sensei can be quite formidable himself. I for one don't wish to be around should they ever come to blows." Selma replied with a small chuckle of her own.

Selma covered her face with both hands, her face going bright red as he did continued showing Kiran the pictures. One would believe that Samuel was her father the way he was acting and the way Selma responded.

Leaning over to Rhia, Selma whispered "Rhia, do me a big favor and knock me out... Please."

"Oh. I don't know about that. It's kind of sweet," murmured Kagura, a faintly mischievous glint in her eyes.

Smiling, the queen turned to them. "While those two are busy being unbearable, why don't we get better aquainted? I would love to learn more about the friends my daughter has made at Arcadia."

[Kevin M.]

"Oh, the guards are mostly only there for show," Isha said as he walked up to them. "They're the best fighters our royal academy could produce, but compared to the King and Queen themselves, they aren't very strong at all."

He smiled at them. "Mostly, you might say they 'protect' Kiran and Raksha from the trouble of having to dispose of would-be assassins themselves."


"So, they are just canon fodder" Wilks said.


"Yeah,they are just used to show how rich you guys are" Robert stated.

[Ghost]

"So, they are just canon fodder" Wilks said.

"Yeah,they are just used to show how rich you guys are" Robert stated.

"Oh, a little better then mere cannon fodder, I dare say," Isha said. "They are not incompetent, just superfluous. I should know; I helped train them."

"The idea is rather simple: any attacker will be less inclined to attempt anything untowards against our rulers when they are surrounded by intimidating people with swords, no? This lowers the risk of said rulers being upset while going about their business, which keeps bones unbroken and vital fluids on the inside of their owners, and thus everyone is happy."

"Of course, should something untowards happen, they are more then capable of handling themselves in battle."

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Smiling, the queen turned to them. "While those two are busy being unbearable, why don't we get better aquainted? I would love to learn more about the friends my daughter has made at Arcadia."

"Kagura Ise-Smith, Ouhi-sama," responded Kagura with a respectful bow.

[Kholdhearted]

Henry walked right up to Kiran, telekinetically holding any guards that would stop him.

'Nice to meet you. The name's Henry.' Henry said telepathically.

[Ghost]

Henry walked right up to Kiran, telekinetically holding any guards that would stop him.

'Nice to meet you. The name's Henry.' Henry said telepathically.

Kiran raised an eyebrow. "Such mental power at such a young age? You are for certain something out of the ordinary, Henry. What can I do for you?"

[Kevin M.]

"Oh, a little better then mere cannon fodder, I dare say," Isha said. "They are not incompetent, just superfluous. I should know; I helped train them."

"Of course, should something untowards happen, they are more then capable of handling themselves in battle."



"I'm not intimidated" Wilks siad simply.

"Me to" Jason added.

"You guys look ugly as sin" Willy laughed.

Matsumoto nodded in agreement.

"I have seen NYPD that looked more badass then these guys" Robert said in a low voice.

Kelly just looked the guards over. "They mite prove usefull......for guarding a simple warehouse"

[The Dog]

Less apprehensive about the formalities now that Samuel had broken the ice. Natalie went up behind him and the king as they went through the old photographs.

A blonde child in a gi sticking her tongue out at the camera. Another of her pouting, two hands on the metal handle of a bucket of water. And still another of her attempting a handstand, the loose gi top flopping over her face leaving her belly button exposed.

She couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Aww, die hubsch kinder~! How old was she, Samuel-Sensei?"

Samuel smiled and said "She was about seven or eight in these pictures."

Spoken more to Natalie, he said "I swear, if you were to look at Selma then and compare her to how she is now, you wouldn't believe she was the same person. The Selma from these pictures was so quiet, soft-spoken, and introverted... she was also a very sad and lonely child."

He merely shook his head silently, before moving on to another picture, this one showing Selma dressed like a miniature version of Samuel. Smiling, he said "Now this was from the time she decided she wanted to be "me" for Halloween. Can't tell you how surprised I was to see a mini-me walk into the my dojo that day."

Smiling, the queen turned to them. "While those two are busy being unbearable, why don't we get better aquainted? I would love to learn more about the friends my daughter has made at Arcadia."

Selma looked to the Queen, and immediately gave her a sweeping bow, saying "Miss, I am glad to make your aquaintence, and I apologize for the way my sensei acted earlier."

[Tami]

Tamiko and Justin headed back towards the others, walking closely together, talking softly and smiling. As they talked, Justin placed his arm around Tamiko's shoulder to give her an affectionate, yet brief hug. Tamiko looked up, smiled, then took his hand in hers. Justin smiled slightly, then squeezed her hand as they made their way back to the waiting area.

Tamiko and Justin slowed down as they approached, just now noticing the crowd of new people gathering together. Whispering to Justin, "Who are they?" Pointing over towards Rhia's parents, "Look over there, are they Royality or something?" Tamiko asks, suddenily feeling shy about all of these people.

[GrampaGen]

Samuel smiled and said "She was about seven or eight in these pictures."

Spoken more to Natalie, he said "I swear, if you were to look at Selma then and compare her to how she is now, you wouldn't believe she was the same person. The Selma from these pictures was so quiet, soft-spoken, and introverted... she was also a very sad and lonely child."

Selma looked to the Queen, and immediately gave her a sweeping bow, saying "Miss, I am glad to make your aquaintence, and I apologize for the way my sensei acted earlier."

The witch made a note of this.

I'll have to find out what happened so long ago...

She continued to marvel at the pictures and laughing.

"She even cut her hair!"

After a while, she followed suit and introduced herself to the King and Queen of Khanda, more formally this time. She removed her hat and bowed again.

"Natalie Schroeder, second-rank acolyte of the Zeitgeist Sisterhood! Rhia has spoken most fondly of you, especially of your mystical heritage! The strength of Hanuman flows through her as does his gumption I can attest to that!"

[Kholdhearted]

OOC: Why would the guards want to stop him from meeting Isha? Did you mean Kiran?

IC: "Why, hello Henry," Isha said. "I say, such a peculiar power you possess."

*Retcon Punch!*

OC: Which one is Rhia's dad?

[Ghost]

"Kagura Ise-Smith, Ouhi-sama," responded Kagura with a respectful bow.

Raksha replied with a nod. "A pleasure ot meet you, Kagura."

Samuel smiled and said "She was about seven or eight in these pictures."

Spoken more to Natalie, he said "I swear, if you were to look at Selma then and compare her to how she is now, you wouldn't believe she was the same person. The Selma from these pictures was so quiet, soft-spoken, and introverted... she was also a very sad and lonely child."

Smiling, he said "Now this was from the time she decided she wanted to be "me" for Halloween. Can't tell you how surprised I was to see a mini-me walk into the my dojo that day."

"Ah yes! Doesn't it fill your heart with pride when the children wish to immitate you?" Kiran said. "That reminds me of the time Shamra broke into the treasury and stole the crown. The whole palace was in an uproar, and then we found him on my throne with darn thing on his head." He smiled at the memory. "I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life."

Selma looked to the Queen, and immediately gave her a sweeping bow, saying "Miss, I am glad to make your aquaintence, and I apologize for the way my sensei acted earlier."

"Not your sake to apologise for," Raksha said kindly. "Selma, was it?"

Tamiko and Justin slowed down as they approached, just now noticing the crowd of new people gathering together. Whispering to Justin, "Who are they?" Pointing over towards Rhia's parents, "Look over there, are they Royality or something?" Tamiko asks, suddenily feeling shy about all of these people.

Noticing Tamiko and Justin, Rhia waved at them to come closer. Might as well let everyone in on it now.

[Ghost]

*Retcon Punch!*

OC: Which one is Rhia's dad?

OOC: Kiran. The guy Samuel is sharing paternety stories with. ;)

[Kholdhearted]

Henry walked right up to Kiran, telekinetically holding any guards that would stop him.

'Nice to meet you. The name's Henry.' Henry said telepathically.

Retcon Punched :D

[Tami]

Raksha replied with a nod. "A pleasure ot meet you, Kagura."



"Ah yes! Doesn't it fill your heart with pride when the children wish to immitate you?" Kiran said. "That reminds me of the time Shamra broke into the treasury and stole the crown. The whole palace was in an uproar, and then we found him on my throne with darn thing on his head." He smiled at the memory. "I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life."



"Not your sake to forgive," Raksha said. "Selma, was it?"



Noticing Tamiko and Justin, Rhia waved at them to come closer. Might as well let everyone in on it now.

Tamiko looked at Justin, then the two of them walked over towards Rhia. "Rhia, are they your parents? Tamiko asked nerviously.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Raksha replied with a nod. "A pleasure ot meet you, Kagura."


"A pleasure also," Kagura paused, "If I may, what is Khanda like exactly? I have only read of it in my books."

[Kholdhearted]

Kiran raised an eyebrow. "Such mental power at such a young age? You are for certain something out of the ordinary, Henry. What can I do for you?"

'I simply wished to meet the father of such a fine young lady. Is her fighting style native to Khanda?'

[The Dog]

"Ah yes! Doesn't it fill your heart with pride when the children wish to immitate you?" Kiran said. "That reminds me of the time Shamra broke into the treasury and stole the crown. The whole palace was in an uproar, and then we found him on my throne with darn thing on his head." He smiled at the memory. "I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life."

"Yeah, it does." Samuel said with a smile. He sighed, his smile falling as he said "Unfortunately, Selma's parents don't understand exactly how lucky they are to have a daughter like her."

Sighing, he said "But that's not my story to tell, its hers." His smile returned as he said "So, since you don't have any pictures of Rhia, I'm certain you must have some interesting stories about her growing up. If you do, then I'm all ears for them."

"Not your sake to forgive," Raksha said. "Selma, was it?"

"Yes ma'am." Selma said with a small, polite nod.

[Ghost]

Retcon Punched :D

OOC: Retcon Punched what? ;)


After a while, she followed suit and introduced herself to the King and Queen of Khanda, more formally this time. She removed her hat and bowed again.

"Natalie Schroeder, second-rank acolyte of the Zeitgeist Sisterhood! Rhia has spoken most fondly of you, especially of your mystical heritage! The strength of Hanuman flows through her as does his gumption I can attest to that!"

Raksha laughed heartily. "Ah, that old story? Is that what you've been telling them, Rhia?"

She smiled wryly at Natalie. "There is a legend about my family that suggests we have relations with the vanara, even Hanuman according to some. But on the other hand, according to a similar legend..." she made a nod towards King Kiran, who was busy making grand gestures and funny faces to illustrate an anecdote to Samuel, "...that one over there is supposed to be the descendant of Heaven itself. So, that much for old legends, I suppose."

[Kholdhearted]

OOC: Retcon Punched what? ;)


Oh... uhh, nothing :D

[Ghost]

"A pleasure also," Kagura paused, "If I may, what is Khanda like exactly? I have only read of it in my books."

"Khanda is an island," Raksha said. "Or rather, the island is Khanda, and have been for as long our history recalls. We're not a large nation, but we are wealthy and industrious in our own way." She beamed with pride. "It's a good land, a land of peace and happyness. One that I love very dearly."

Tamiko looked at Justin, then the two of them walked over towards Rhia. "Rhia, are they your parents? Tamiko asked nerviously.

"Yeah, guilty," Rhia said and scratched her head. "Tamiko, Justin, meet my mom and dad, the rulers of Khanda."

'I simply wished to meet the father of such a fine young lady. Is her fighting style native to Khanda?'

Kiran nodded. 'Agnivajra - the Fire Lightning,' he replied in the mind. 'That Which Burns Away All Ignorance. Supposedly, it was handed down to our people by my celestial ancestor, Lord Indra.' It is tradation that all members of the royal house is trained in its ways.

"Yeah, it does." Samuel said with a smile. He sighed, his smile falling as he said "Unfortunately, Selma's parents don't understand exactly how lucky they are to have a daughter like her."

Sighing, he said "But that's not my story to tell, its hers." His smile returned as he said "So, since you don't have any pictures of Rhia, I'm certain you must have some interesting stories about her growing up. If you do, then I'm all ears for them."

"Oh do I ever!" Kiran said with a wide grin, and emidiately started talking: "When she was five, and you will never belive this but it's true, she..."

OOC: Yes, Kiran can talk to Samuel and communicate with Henry at the same time. Because he's that awesome! XD

[Chou Blaster]

Ramon; Wow Rhia, that's your family? Very honored to meet them.


: And Daichi meanwhile wills himself to stand up, and walk around.:

"What the Hell happened?

[Ghost]

Ramon; Wow Rhia, that's your family? Very honored to meet them.

"I'm sure you are," Rhia said with a fatigued smiled. There was no stopping it now, but thankfully her friends and classmates seemed to be taking it well.

: And Daichi meanwhile wills himself to stand up, and walk around.:

"What the Hell happened?

"You were gravely wounded in an explosion," Django said. "Seriously, I think you should really lie down again."

[Tami]

"Khanda is an island," Raksha said. "Or rather, the island is Khanda, and have been for as long our history recalls. We're not a large nation, but we are wealthy and industrious in our own way." She beamed with pride. "It's a good land, a land of peace and happyness. One that I love very dearly."



"Yeah, guilty," Rhia said and scratched her head. "Tamiko, Justin, meet my mom and dad, the rulers of Khanda."



Kiran nodded. 'Agnivajra - the Fire Lightning,' he replied in the mind. 'That Which Burns Away All Ignorance. Supposedly, it was handed down to our people by my celestial ancestor, Lord Indra.' It is tradation that all members of the royal house is trained in its ways.



"Oh do I ever!" Kiran said with a wide grin, and emidiately started talking: "When she was five, and you will never belive this but it's true, she..."

OOC: Yes, Kiran can talk to Samuel and communicate with Henry at the same time. Because he's that awesome! XD

Bowing her head slightly, "Hello, I'm Tamiko Kessler."

Justin, speaking simply, "Justin Slight."

[Chou Blaster]

"I'm sure you are," Rhia said with a fatigued smiled. There was no stopping it now, but thankfully her friends and classmates seemed to be taking it well.



"You were gravely wounded in an explosion," Django said. "Seriously, I think you should really lie down again."



Ramon: Awww I see. Well your lucky i guess, as m y father has not showen up. :As he proceeds to hug Rhia.:


Daichi: Ohh, I was not fighting in there, but yeah.. Just under the weather lately.. :As he sits down.:

[Ghost]

Bowing her head slightly, "Hello, I'm Tamiko Kessler."

Justin, speaking simply, "Justin Slight."

"I pleasure to meet both of you," Raksha said. "I am Raksha Mani Rohana, Rhia's mother."

"And I'm the King!" Kiran added from the sidelines.

Raksha rolled her eyes. "Do ignore him."

[Ghost]

Ramon: Awww I see. Well your lucky i guess, as m y father has not showen up. :As he proceeds to hug Rhia.:

Rhia was unprepared for this intimate showing of affection and didn't quite know how to respond to it. "Um... Yeah, I'm glad you're alright too."

Raksha raised an eyebrow. "Another friend, Rhia?" she asked and smiled in a way Rhia wasn't entirely sure she liked.

"Ahaha, yeah," Rhia said, her face flustered. "This is Ramon. He's helped me with my training."

Daichi: Ohh, I was not fighting in there, but yeah.. Just under the weather lately.. :As he sits down.:

OOC: Ops. Must have gotten Daichi mixed up with Kekowa. Sorry. :o

[kain5252]

"I pleasure to meet both of you," Raksha said. "I am Raksha Mani Rohana, Rhia's mother."

"And I'm the King!" Kiran added from the sidelines.

"Do ignore him," Raksha said.

Justin glanced at Kiran, giving a slightly strange look. Then back to Raksha. "So did you train Rhia??".

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"I'm sorry I kept all this secret," Rhia said and sighed. "All of you, I'm sorry. I just... wanted to be Rhia. Not 'Princess Rhia' and definitely not 'Her Royal Highness'..."

"Not wanting to be defined by your title is all well and good," Kiran said, now serious again. He gave his daughter a wry smile. "But maybe it's just as well; you shouldn't deny what you are, it's not healthy in the long run."

Rhia sighed. "Yes, father."

Kiran nodded. "Well! Glad to have that over with." Suddenly, he got a rather grim expression as he looked around. "Now can somebody please inform me what in the names of all the gods and devils is going on here? Where are your teachers? And why did one of the contestants just explode!?" He started doing grand gestures with his hands as he spoke. "Is this something that happens often and this school of yours? Should I be worried?"

His eyes narrowed. "I agreed sending my daughter away without protection because she asked me to, and because I belived Arcadia to be a safe place. Now I'm not so sure anymore."

Jericho appeared, looking grim.

With a bow, he introduced himself.

"My name is Jericho Mourn, Intructor First Class of Arcadia, Dragon Dorm."

[Chou Blaster]

Rhia was unprepared for this intimate showing of affection and didn't quite know how to respond to it. "Um... Yeah, I'm glad you're alright too."

Raksha raised an eyebrow. "Another friend, Rhia?" she asked and smiled in a way Rhia wasn't entirely sure she liked.

"Ahaha, yeah," Rhia said, her face flustered. "This is Ramon. He's helped me with my training."



OOC: Ops. Must have gotten Daichi mixed up with Kekowa. Sorry. :o

OOC: It's ok.

IC:

Ramon; Yeah, with the magic part so are you he rmother by chance/ :And looks to the king.: And "that is your husband."

:As he bows in front of Rhia's mothe rand looked to Rhia:

"So what do they do Rhia?" :As he doe sno tknow yet.:

[Chou Blaster]

Jericho appeared, looking grim.

With a bow, he introduced himself.

"My name is Jericho Mourn, Intructor First Class of Arcadia, Dragon Dorm."

OOC:

So who's next on the fighting order?

[Kholdhearted]

Jericho appeared, looking grim.

With a bow, he introduced himself.

"My name is Jericho Mourn, Intructor First Class of Arcadia, Dragon Dorm."

Can we do Henry now?

Also, check out my new NPC's and tell me what you think :D

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"Khanda is an island," Raksha said. "Or rather, the island is Khanda, and have been for as long our history recalls. We're not a large nation, but we are wealthy and industrious in our own way." She beamed with pride. "It's a good land, a land of peace and happyness. One that I love very dearly."


OOC: Oops. Missed this earlier. ^^;

IC:

"Sounds wonderful," replied Kagura honestly, "I would love to see it."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC:

So who's next on the fighting order?

Hmm, well, only 6 fighters left in Wolf, one is Jose Carlos (who I'm reseving to fight Ramus) and Mei, who you'll fight. That leaves four for someone else.....


Hmm, I think it's time Tamiko, Rhia, or Henry fought.

[Ghost]

Jericho appeared, looking grim.

With a bow, he introduced himself.

"My name is Jericho Mourn, Intructor First Class of Arcadia, Dragon Dorm."

"I am Kiran Rohana of Khanda," Kiran said, suddenly dead serious again. "I came here to watch my only daughter compete in the Tournament. Instead I have seen an exploding girl and heard talk about an exceedingly dangerous individual who is expected to show up. I belive and explanation is in order."

[Chou Blaster]

I dont mind letting Justin fight sometime soon.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"I am Kiran Rohana of Khanda," Kiran said, suddenly dead serious again. "I came here to watch my only daughter compete in the Tournament. Instead I have seen an exploding girl and heard talk about an exceedingly dangerous individual who is expected to show up. I belive and explanation is in order."

Jericho nodded, then looked up as the next fight was called.


"Attention fighters! Dragon Dorm Justin and Henry, you are too fight next."



Jericho turned, then bowed again.

"Forgive me, your highness, but I am needed elsewhere. I swear, I shall inform you what goes on here at the end of the Final match between Dragon and Wolf. Until them."


With that, Jericho teleported away.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

I dont mind letting Justin fight sometime soon.

Tag team with Henry okay?

[Ghost]

Jericho nodded, then looked up as the next fight was called.

"Attention fighters! Dragon Dorm Justin and Henry, you are too fight next."

Jericho turned, then bowed again.

"Forgive me, your highness, but I am needed elsewhere. I swear, I shall inform you what goes on here at the end of the Final match between Dragon and Wolf. Until them."

With that, Jericho teleported away.

Kiran glared at the empty space where Jericho had just stood. "Until then; if by then it's not too late. Very well, instructor," he turned around, facing Isha, "until then, we of Khanda shall protect our own."

Looking grim, Isha bowed his head.

[kain5252]

Jericho nodded, then looked up as the next fight was called.


"Attention fighters! Dragon Dorm Justin and Henry, you are too fight next."



Jericho turned, then bowed again.

"Forgive me, your highness, but I am needed elsewhere. I swear, I shall inform you what goes on here at the end of the Final match between Dragon and Wolf. Until them."


With that, Jericho teleported away.

Justin heard his name. "I have to go Tamiko, see you soon" he said to her, a slight smile. Then walked off to the ring.

[Kholdhearted]

Henry raised an eyebrow. "My turn at last eh?"

Turning to Rhia, he smiled. "I'll try not to die out there." he said with a wink before levitating down to the arena and giving a nod to Justin.

"Fire and Lightning Mage right?"

[Ghost]

Henry raised an eyebrow. "My turn at last eh?"

Turning to Rhia, he smiled. "I'll try not to die out there." he said with a wink before levitating down to the arena and giving a nod to Justin.

"Fire and Lightning Mage right?"

"Show them what we're made of!" Rhia called out ot them.

OOC: And now I totally need to get to bed. Good nigth!

[GrampaGen]

Henry raised an eyebrow. "My turn at last eh?"

Turning to Rhia, he smiled. "I'll try not to die out there." he said with a wink before levitating down to the arena and giving a nod to Justin.

"Fire and Lightning Mage right?"

Natalie pat Henry on the back. He could already read her thoughts, so sure that he would be able to win. She would watch him intently for a demonstration on how to use psionics in a fight.

OOC: Cleric, will you be on tonight, in like, 6 hrs or so? I'd like Natalie to fight once, then lose the following match in epic, if ultimately futile and possibly Rock Lee-ish, fashion:)

I should be, but you never know.

[Kholdhearted]

Ya know, I just realised that Henry and Justin, really have to clean house. Wolf Dorm only lost one fighter just now while we lost three... :eek:

[GrampaGen]

I should be, but you never know.

OOC: That's cool, stuff happens, I understand.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"And from Wolf, Anthony Chalice and Tiffany Uthor!"


A young man of 13 stpped forward, his hands empty an his long stringy haur hanging over his eyes and face.


A woman, about 17 years of age, stepped forward. Her long raven hair reached her lower bak and her face was what soemoen who call classical beauty.


"Fight!"

With that, Ant (Anthony) began chanting in an arcane and forbidden language as Tiff (Tiffany) summoned a barrier to surround them.

[Kholdhearted]

"Fight!"

With that, Ant (Anthony) began chanting in an arcane and forbidden language as Tiff (Tiffany) summoned a barrier to surround them.

Henry sent psionic waves to disrupt Tiffany's concentration to lower the shield while telling Justin to help by bashing against the Barrier with his magic.

'As soon as the shield drops, hit the little kid with everything you've got, he appears to be the offensive one of the pair.'

[kain5252]

Henry sent psionic waves to disrupt Tiffany's concentration to lower the shield while telling Justin to help by bashing against the Barrier with his magic.

'As soon as the shield drops, hit the little kid with everything you've got, he appears to be the offensive one of the pair.'

Justin replied with a smirk and began powering his Ki Tornado up. The wind began swirling around violently as he waited for the barrier to drop.

'Ill just hit'em both with this one'

Natalie watched intently. Henry and Justin's psionics and ki pressed against their opponents' dual magic. Magic duels were slower than straight brawls, it was all about finding an opening between incantations. Fortunately, Henry was the best at that.

"Dual magicians...counterbalancing elements, perhaps? I overheard Tamiko used it with Justin prior for great effect.."

She kept her astral vision in focus, and waited.

Selma moved next to Natalie, watching the fight, but not as intently. As she did so, Selma looked down to Natalie's hands, and saw the bottlecap ring on her hand.

Arching an eyebrow, Selma looked to Natalie and said "I don't mean to be intrusive, but I've never noticed you wearing that ring before, and it looks familiar to something I own... well, owned, before I, you know... burned it."

"Can I ask where it came from?" Selma asked.

[Chou Blaster]

Natalie watched intently. Henry and Justin's psionics and ki pressed against their opponents' dual magic. Magic duels were slower than straight brawls, it was all about finding an opening between incantations. Fortunately, Henry was the best at that.

"Dual magicians...counterbalancing elements, perhaps? I overheard Tamiko used it with Justin prior for great effect.."

She kept her astral vision in focus, and waited.

: And Daichi well woke up, Ramon was wit hthe royla Khadania fmaily, while he was alone, he got up, and stertched. the phantom pains still hitting him.:

Well atleast the fiend is asleep.

:As he began to walk, and some more, despite the wobble effect his legs were doing as he saw Natalie with Selma and spoke.:

"Ahh. you two are friend's now? Good, very good"

:He drops to one knee, but sstrikes his leg to get up again and takes a seat, watchin gthe psyhcic and mage at work.:

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Tiff growled as Henry battered her psionically, but she held up the barrier until Ant finished chanting.


"From the elder days of yore, from time beyond recognition, I summon the power of Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada!"


From benethe the earth, a tomb shot out. On it was an old and odd crest. The tomb opens to reveal a 7'0 tall, beared man. His arms were crossed in front of him, and his eyes were closed until Ant spoke a harsh word and they snapped open, revealing pure black eyes. The body, with no signs of decay, stepped forward as the tomb disappeared.


"Garthin, I who summoned you command that you destroy those who oppose us."

[Tami]

Hmm, well, only 6 fighters left in Wolf, one is Jose Carlos (who I'm reseving to fight Ramus) and Mei, who you'll fight. That leaves four for someone else.....


Hmm, I think it's time Tamiko, Rhia, or Henry fought.

OT: I can't do it until tonight.

[GrampaGen]

Selma moved next to Natalie, watching the fight, but not as intently. As she did so, Selma looked down to Natalie's hands, and saw the bottlecap ring on her hand.

Arching an eyebrow, Selma looked to Natalie and said "I don't mean to be intrusive, but I've never noticed you wearing that ring before, and it looks familiar to something I own... well, owned, before I, you know... burned it."

"Can I ask where it came from?" Selma asked.

She burned those objects? She must have been really infuriated....no, we will not go down this path again!

"I found a steel bottle cap underneath that pile of strange and wonderful object, which...I am sure were precious memories. Mein Gott, I didn't think before..." she swallowed, then continued,"I wanted to create something for you with something precious. However, when I obtained my staff, the dieties that aided me in their creation turned the steel to this ring."

Noting the buzzing in her hand, she flexed her index finger in reflex.

"I assume it is a trial of penance granted by the spirits. I wanted to make a gift. I should have told you earlier, I'm sorry. But now that I'm not sure what this ring does, in good conscience, may I request that I hold onto it a bit longer?"

[Chou Blaster]

Tiff growled as Henry battered her psionically, but she held up the barrier until Ant finished chanting.

"What Dena said was true????!!!! Amazing!!

But sitll tey are filthy necormancers."

:As he dorpped bakc on his ass as he saw this.:


:Ramon commented; "Again, with the summoning of the dead."

[kain5252]

Tiff growled as Henry battered her psionically, but she held up the barrier until Ant finished chanting.

"Garthin, I who summoned you command that you destroy those who oppose us."

Justin was a little worried at first. But he continued to power his Ki Tornado anyway. He then fired it off at the shield. If he could break the shield and at least damage on of them he'd be happy.

[GrampaGen]

"From the elder days of yore, from time beyond recognition, I summon the power of Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada!"


Natalie's mouth stood agape, her face stupified in wonder and awe.

"Dean's ancestor! They summoned Dean's ancestor! They can't do that!"

She stood and hollered at the arena platform.

"Stop the summoner's mind! A spirit summoning is useless without the conjurer!"

[Kholdhearted]

Tiff growled as Henry battered her psionically, but she held up the barrier until Ant finished chanting.

'Justin, now!' Henry signalled Justin to let go of the spell.

Henry then turned his attention to Ant and sent wave after wave of psionic pain and Telekinitic blows his way.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Justin was a little worried at first. But he continued to power his Ki Tornado anyway. He then fired it off at the shield. If he could at least damage on of them he'd be happy.

Garthin stepped in front of the Tornado.


A small explosion occured afterwards, and when the dust settled, Garthin stood there, unmoved and unhurt.

[Kholdhearted]

Natalie's mouth stood agape, her face stupified in wonder and awe.

"Dean's ancestor! They summoned Dean's ancestor! They can't do that!"

She stood and hollered at the arena platform.

"Stop the summoner's mind! A spirit summoning is useless without the conjurer!"

Henry already knew that :D

Lets just say he picked up a few things from Nats mind.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

'Justin, now!' Henry signalled Justin to let go of the spell.

Henry then turned his attention to Ant and sent wave after wave of psionic pain and Telekinitic blows his way.

While Garthin no-sold the Tornado, Tiffany held Hennry at bay with Ant backing her. Neither was his match, but together, their gestalt mind held his powers at bay.

[GrampaGen]

Henry already knew that :D

OOC: She's cheering from the bench, caught up in the moment, kinda like how people tell fighters to "go hit 'em" I guess ;)

"I assume it is a trial of penance granted by the spirits. I wanted to make a gift. I should have told you earlier, I'm sorry. But now that I'm not sure what this ring does, in good conscience, may I request that I hold onto it a bit longer?"

Selma listened to her and nodded with a smile, taking the hand the ring was on in her's, lifted it to her face, and gave the mystically-created ring and hand it was on a small, gentle kiss.

"Of course you can. In fact, you can keep it. Consider it an apology gift for the way I acted to you earlier." Selma said, patting the hand gently as she spoke.

"Personally, I think it looks better on you than it would on me."

[Kholdhearted]

While Garthin no-sold the Tornado, Tiffany held Hennry at bay with Ant backing her. Neither was his match, but together, their gestalt mind held his powers at bay.

'Hmmm, combining their mental might. This might be problematic.'

Henry thought for a while, and eventually came up with a plan.

'Justin, their shield is down. I need you to distract that Tiffany girl so I can disable the boy and get this thing out of the arena. Can you do it? Fire blast after blast of magic, that giant man can't block them all. I'll distract him to make sure.' he telepathically said to Justin, blocking it so niether Tiff nor Ant could hear.

"Hey ugly, over here!" Henry said sending a wave of TK his way, it was weakened from Tiff and Ant's assault but enough to get his attention.

[kain5252]

Garthin stepped in front of the Tornado.


A small explosion occured afterwards, and when the dust settled, Garthin stood there, unmoved and unhurt.

While Garthin no-sold the Tornado, Tiffany held Hennry at bay with Ant backing her. Neither was his match, but together, their gestalt mind held his powers at bay.

"Tsk" Justin growled as he glared at the two. He then summoned Ki around his feet and legs. Boosting his speed. He knew this Garthin was strong. But if he could keep away from it then he might stand a chance.

'Any ideas?'

[GrampaGen]

Selma listened to her and nodded with a smile, taking the hand the ring was on in her's, lifted it to her face, and gave the mystically-created ring and hand it was on a small, gentle kiss.

"Personally, I think it looks better on you than it would on me."

Natalie smiled, and waved her hand in casual dismissal.

"No, no no," she chuckled, humbled,"it's steel with spots of red on it! Nein, in clashes with my wardrobe!"

She joked, outlining the outfit she had on that also was from Selma with a laugh.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Garthin stepped foward towards Justin as Ant and Tiff began trying to counter Henry's other psionic powers.

[kain5252]

'Hmmm, combining their mental might. This might be problematic.'

"Hey ugly, over here!" Henry said sending a wave of TK his way, it was weakened from Tiff and Ant's assault but enough to get his attention.

'Yeah sure' Justin said as he leaped to side away from Henry and the monster. He then rushed behin them and shot off a large fire blast at Tif. He sent a shadow snake, python, with the fire blast. Keeping it hidden under the flames and would attack when in range striking range.

[Kholdhearted]

Garthin stepped foward towards Justin as Ant and Tiff began trying to counter Henry's other psionic powers.

Henry held back Garthin with his weakened TK so Justin could pass.

"Damnit Dean, is this what you'll be when you get older?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

'Yeah sure' Justin said as he leaped to side away from Henry and the monster. He then rushed behin them and shot off a large fire blast at Tif. He sent a shadow snake, python, with the fire blast. Keeping it hidden under the flames and would attack when in range striking range.

Garthin suddenly disengaged himself from Henry at such speeds, the floor caught on fire.


He reappared in front of Justin's attack and soaked them, not letting anything hit Ant or Tiff.

[Chou Blaster]

And I am to be ignored. Fitting as I got this way messing with a old flame.. Hell why am I hurting anmore?"


.. Yes.

:Then Daichi's hairs darken, akni to Jet black shade, and then what appeared to be ash fell off him, as in his place his hair was now red, looked akin to a goldene yed Yujiro Haanma.:

:The beasts chi was gone, but his body was still a wreck, just it had stopped, for the moment.:


I do not hurt so anymore.. Oh well., that and I feel better flow movement in my own body now.

Ramon: Dude.. your hair changed on the spot..


:As Daichis hair was no lnoger a pony tail but rsien up as if been gelled.:

[kain5252]

Garthin suddenly disengaged himself from Henry at such speeds, the floor caught on fire.


He reappared in front of Justin's attack and soaked them, not letting anything hit Ant or Tiff.

"Holy crap!" Justin said surpised at this things ability and how it cancelled out his fire blast. He quickly concentrated and had the snake slipped under the giant and continued its rush at Tiff. Picking up its speed before the Garthin noticed.

[Eternal Torment]

Alexia had been outside, trying to calm herself down when she heard the proclamation.

"Oh, so she's a princess of Khanda."

"Eh. We already knew about her royal bloodline, though. So it doesn't really matter where she comes from."

"True."

"Now, we really need to-"

"Ike? What's wrong?"

"Angelique....she's breaking in again."

"What do you want, little sister?"

"I'm not here to talk. No, there's someone that wants to see you."

"Don't tell me-"

"No, it isn't him."

A man appeared alongside her sister in the mindscape. A grotesque tattoo of a dragon covered the left side of his face, contrasting the burn wounds on his neck and scalp.

"Oh. What are you doing here, Ivan? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the factory in Utah?"

"Look, your father. He is plotting something, understand? I heard some rumours about him sending a F-series down to the tourney today. It's already here."

"F-series? You mean one of the clones designed for reconnaissance?"

"Da. It should be somewhere in the stadium, Miss Alexia. I don't know what it's for, but there must be a reason behind it."

"Thank you, Ivan. Wait, how did Angelique connect with you over such a long distance?"

"That's simple, big sister. We finished Project Whisper shortly after you left. It's been working as planned."

"Ah. Thank you, little sister. I have to go find the clone now."

The man smiled.

"My pleasure, Miss Alexia. Shall we, Miss Angelique?"

The two disappeared from the mindscape, leaving Alexia alone with herself.

"So, do you think it's true?"

"Yeah. That bastard is planning somethin' here. I bet he's going to try and make an alliance with those royals up there."

"Hmm....it seems plausible. We'll have to go check, then."

Alexia walked back to her seat, pondering the message that Ivan had left her.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: actually, I didn't see that message. Gimme a second :o

RETCON PUNCH!

: And Daichi well woke up, Ramon was wit hthe royla Khadania fmaily, while he was alone, he got up, and stertched. the phantom pains still hitting him.:

Well atleast the fiend is asleep.

:He drops to one knee, but sstrikes his leg to get up again and takes a seat, watchin gthe psyhcic and mage at work.:

"Ja, Herr Daichi! Turns out that there was nothing to fear after all that!" She said, then turned to talk to Selma some more.

And I am to be ignored. Fitting as I got this way messing with a old flame.. Hell why am I hurting anmore?"

.. Yes.

:Then Daichi's hairs darken, akni to Jet black shade, and then what appeared to be ash fell off him, as in his place his hair was now red, looked akin to a goldene yed Yujiro Haanma.:

Ramon: Dude.. your hair changed on the spot..

:As Diachis hair was no lnoger a pony tail but rsien up as if been gelled.:

A massive chi flare emerged as Natalie watched the match. Curiously, it came up directly behind her. She looked curiously up at Daichi, now having changed forms again, strangely, like that first day at school.

She scanned him over with astral eyes, oddly finding no trace of Orochi. Indeed, directly the old snake kami was nowhere.

Yet everywhere.

"...are you okay?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Holy crap!" Justin said surpised at this things ability and how it cancelled out his fire blast. He quickly concentrated and had the snake slipped under the giant and continued its rush at Tiff. Picking up its speed before the Garthin noticed.

Tiff and Ant then floated off the ground, just in time to escape the attack.


Garthin, however, was not amused. Her ushed forwad and delieverd a blow that sent Justin flying out of the arena.

[The Dog]

Natalie smiled, and waved her hand in casual dismissal.

"No, no no," she chuckled, humbled,"it's steel with spots of red on it! Nein, in clashes with my wardrobe!"

She joked, outlining the outfit she had on that also was from Selma with a laugh.

Selma chuckled as she said "Well, since those are my clothes, then it will probably clash with my wardrobe as well. So you can keep it."

Giving Natalie a once-over, Selma said "And if I may be honest, I do believe you look quite good in my clothes. You really should wear them more often."

[kain5252]

Tiff and Ant then floated off the ground, just in time to escape the attack.


Garthin, however, was not amused. Her ushed forwad and delieverd a blow that sent Justin flying out of the arena.

Justin held his stomach as he flew. Then pain was great but he couldnt let him stop him. Flipping and landing on his feet. He leaped forward, back into the arena. Kick the giant in the nose with hise knee as hard as he could. Then flipped over the giant's head and leaped into the air. Creating a shadow bow and arrow's. He fire several of them at Tif and Ant.

[Kholdhearted]

Tiff and Ant then floated off the ground, just in time to escape the attack.


Garthin, however, was not amused. Her ushed forwad and delieverd a blow that sent Justin flying out of the arena.

Henry caught Justin with his TK and brought him back inside, now full force again since Tiff and Ant were distracted.


'I'm going to try something Justin, keep going after that Tiffany girl.'

With that, Henry implanted the image of Dean giving his speech about the Nevadian people, hoping to stir something in the giant though still ready to take to the sky should he come after him.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

And I am to be ignored. Fitting as I got this way messing with a old flame.. Hell why am I hurting anmore?"

Noticing this Kagura's eyebrow rose in surpise. "Yamada....?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Garthin wasn't even phased by Justins' attacks. He did, however, rush foward and begin tanking the shadow arrows Justin was firing.


As Garthin stood there, he shuddered slighty as Dean's speech came over him. His eyes seemed to foucs and becom ghuman once again, only to black out as Ant re-established control and he and Tiff began repressing Henry again.

[Kevin M.]

Back near the stolen cooler


"Wow, that is one big lady" Jason said in amazement. "I wonder how big her panties are?"

Wilks, Robert, Willy, Matsumoto, and Kelly just staired at Jason after he said those comments.

"What?" he asked.

Kelly on shook his head. "I wonder about you sometimes"

[Chou Blaster]

Noticing this Kagura's eyebrow rose in surpise. "Yamada....?"

"I am fine. Truely I am."

:As he rises from his seat and hugs Kagura, bein ggentle wth his strength.:

"Though thank you for caring Captain Kagura."

:As he smiles softly to her, though one of the side effect sot this new change, he was noticing the othe rfemales.:

Ramon:!!!?

'Whatever your doing Henry. Keep it up and try harder. It worked for a moment there' Justin said as he landed. Rushed around so he was facing the back of the three and threw five scattered fire bombs. "Lets see you be in more then one place" he smirked.

[Kholdhearted]

'It worked!' Henry thought.

'Keep it up Justin, its working. Keep those two distracted.'

Henry continued to show pictures of Dean and different memories he had from looking in Dean's head.

[Tami]

'It worked!' Henry thought.

Giving Natalie a once-over, Selma said "And if I may be honest, I do believe you look quite good in my clothes. You really should wear them more often."

Natalie blushed and smiled, then turned her attention back to the match.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Garthin tanked the fire bombs, but began stumbling as Henry put Dean's thoughts in his head.


Ant then suddenly disappeared and clocked Justin in the back of his head, knocking him out of the arena.


While this happened, Tiffant teleported behind Henry and blasted him out of the arena aswell.

Using his Ki to knock Henry back into the ring before him. "So your finally going to fight huh?" Justin growled as he got up and jumped back into the arena. He then power his Ki around his feet, hands, arms, and legs to increase his punching/kicking power and speed. He then leaped at Ant and prepared to ram his fist into his gut while keeping a eye open for Garthin. If their giatn decided to attack. He'd be ready to dodge.

Tensing in surprise at the embrace, Kagura awkwardly patted Daichi's shoulder.

"No problem at all, Yamada," she replied.

[Chou Blaster]

Tensing in surprise at the embrace, Kagura awkwardly patted Daichi's shoulder.

"No problem at all, Yamada," she replied.



"Good Captain Kagura." :And he stops, having that smile of his as he once again seat down, his body still sore though, very sore.:

I should have not done that. Owwww.

Ramon: Daichi has been acting funny lately.

:Figures he is ok now, that he is not falling over.:

[The Dog]

Natalie blushed and smiled, then turned her attention back to the match.

Selma noticed Natalie's blush and smile, causing her to blush and smile in turn. She turned back to the match, but frowned when she realized that it wasn't exactly going Dragon dorm's way.

[Eternal Torment]

Watching the other side of the stadium carefully, Alexia was scanning the crowd for what seemed the the 100th time when she felt a small tap on her shoulder. She turned around quickly, coming face to face with the person she had been looking for.

"Oh....no."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Using his Ki to knock Henry back into the ring before him. "So your finally going to fight huh?" Justin growled as he got up and jumped back into the arena.

He then leaped at Ant and prepared to ram his fist into his gut while keeping a eye open for Garthin. If their giatn decided to attack. He'd be ready to dodge.

Ant spun and hooked Justin's leg out from under him, knocking him to the ground.

Ant then leapt into the air and began raining down bolts of energy at Justin.

[GrampaGen]

Selma noticed Natalie's blush and smile, causing her to blush and smile in turn. She turned back to the match, but frowned when she realized that it wasn't exactly going Dragon dorm's way.

Natalie frowned.

"If they could somehow take care of that mage...her part in their teamwork is surely the backbone of it all."

[kain5252]

Ant spun and hooked Justin's leg out from under him, knocking him to the ground.

Ant then leapt into the air and began raining down bolts of energy at Justin.

Justin quickly created a Ki shield. But the shield could only take about three before breaking. But it was enough time for him to get away, jumping back. Justin created a shadow spear and threw it at Ant. Before it hit him the spear suddenly exploded open into a net. The net wrapped around Ant and pulled him down where Justin then rushed forward and kicked Ant in the ribs as hard as he could.

Ant howled as the kick broke a rib and knocked him out. A mage on Wolf teleported him out of the fight.


Tiff, enraged, blasted Justin away. Then she lifted a scetion of teh arena with her TK and dropped it on him.


Garthin was still struggling though.

[Vakanai]

Justin had a holy crap expression as he saw the arene coming at him. Quickly, power his Ki Tornado and fired it into the section. The attack wasnt strong enough to break it into pieces as Justin didnt have the proper amount of time to power his attack. But enough to leave a barely big enough hole for him to leap through and avoid the arena by getting on the other side of it.

As it hit the ground Justin leaped away and rolled across the ground. Breathing heavy. "Your insane you know that?!".

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Tiffany used Henry as a TK club and slapped Justin with him.


OT: Remember, Henry is trying to wake Garthin up, so he's pre-occupied.

Your leaving me with a arena chucking opponent and a powerful undead giant?!:eek:

OOC: hmm...well I got 40 minutes, mind if I spot for Henry? Hate for technicalities to interfere with the conclusion.

Fine with me.

[Vakanai]

OOC: dammit! :( You seemed to have something big planned for Hunter too...

The basic premise for Hunter: Beat up angelic opposite, try and get the family situated if at all possible, try to stop warring in hell, beat up opposite again...and that's all I had vaguely planned out.
Basically he refuses to believe in destiny or his place in helping to restore the balance in things, and it will take great convincing to make him accept his responsibility.
Also, he is slowly dying without his guns, since they contain half his soul. He currently knows this but refuses to bring them back because of his fear it may bring danger to his fellow classmates, and he would rather die than endanger people, cause he's got some weird guardian complex where he has to protect everyone, which stems from not being there when his parents died.
And that should cover all you need to know to rp Hunter.

[kain5252]

Tiffany used Henry as a TK club and slapped Justin with him.


OT: Remember, Henry is trying to wake Garthin up, so he's pre-occupied.


Justin rolled with the hit then back flipped away. Thowing shadow weights on Henry to help weigh him down. "Stop using my friend as a baseball bat!" he yelled as he rushed Tif. Jumping, seemingly to throw a punch. Justin actually released a fire blast in almost point blank range at Tif.

[GrampaGen]

Fine with me.

Just waitin' on Khold. But go ahead and post the next move :)

[Tami]

OT: Give me about 2-3 hours or so, then it's Tamiko's turn. I won't be able to do anything until I get home from work.

:( :(


Well, thanks for playing as long as you did, man. I'll make sure your character stays around.

Thanks Cleric, great game. Maybe things will situate so I can play part two of this later down the road.

[Miburohunter929]

As Dean returned to the Arena, after spending several minutes in line, a pizza and a strawberry soda and hand, he spotted Natalie and Selma.

"Yo!" Dean exclaimed, mouth muffled by a slice of pizza.

As Dean took a seat, he couldnt help but notice his comrades fighting a gigantic beast of a man.

"God damn!" Dean yelled, nearly choking on his pizza. "What the hell is that?!"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Justin rolled with the hit then back flipped away. Thowing shadow weights on Henry to help weigh him down. "Stop using my friend as a baseball bat!" he yelled as he rushed Tif. Jumping, seemingly to throw a punch. Justin actually released a fire blast in almost point blank range at Tif.

Tif's hand snapped up and grabbed Justin's wrist, turning it away and making the fireball fly in a different direction. She then twisted his arm, breaking it, befoer she snap kicked Justin away.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: You would choose to resign on the day that Dean has proof of the existance of Old Nevada, Vak :P

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Thanks Cleric, great game. Maybe things will situate so I can play part two of this later down the road.

I'd like that man.


Remember, you are always welcome in my RPG's.

"That is Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada.", Jericho told hi mas he watched the fight.

[GrampaGen]

The basic premise for Hunter: Beat up angelic opposite, try and get the family situated if at all possible, try to stop warring in hell, beat up opposite again...and that's all I had vaguely planned out.
Basically he refuses to believe in destiny or his place in helping to restore the balance in things, and it will take great convincing to make him accept his responsibility.
Also, he is slowly dying without his guns, since they contain half his soul. He currently knows this but refuses to bring them back because of his fear it may bring danger to his fellow classmates, and he would rather die than endanger people, cause he's got some weird guardian complex where he has to protect everyone, which stems from not being there when his parents died.
And that should cover all you need to know to rp Hunter.

OOC: I hope someone can pick that up; I can't because Natalie's interactions with Hunter are based on his spontaneity :) But yeah, hope you can come back sometime.

Natalie stood puzzled for a second.

"You don't recognize that god-king?"

[Vakanai]

OOC: You would choose to resign on the day that Dean has proof of the existance of Old Nevada, Vak :P

Hunter already knows much of the secret history of Nevada through his mob connections. It involves alien contact, portals to other worlds, and human sacrifices, all roughly 5 million years ago, before the alleged evolution of mankind. That'll rock Dean's world.:p

I'd like that man.


Remember, you are always welcome in my RPG's.

Thank you Cleric, you always have the best RPG's.

[GrampaGen]

Tif's hand snapped up and grabbed Justin's wrist, turning it away and making the fireball fly in a different direction. She then twisted his arm, breaking it, befoer she snap kicked Justin away.

Henry felt his body being tossed about. It didn't matter, the priority was set on getting the King of Ancient Nevada to awake from his rapture. He poured his memories, into him; the inspired speech by Dean, the thoughts of warriors gathered in the Great Desert, and the will of the world's strongest gathered in that one place for their duel of eternity.

Come on, King...snap out of it!

Psionic alarm came from Justin as he skirted here and there avoiding their mage opponent. Henry had no choice but to hope he could hold her off long enough.

[Vakanai]

OOC: I hope someone can pick that up; I can't because Natalie's interactions with Hunter are based on his spontaneity :) But yeah, hope you can come back sometime.

Hope so too (Hunter's interactions with everyone seem to be based on spontaneity, never could figure out how to get him to make close freinds), and will try.:)

[kain5252]

Tif's hand snapped up and grabbed Justin's wrist, turning it away and making the fireball fly in a different direction. She then twisted his arm, breaking it, befoer she snap kicked Justin away.

Justin growled as he felt his arm break and was sent flying. Rolling across the ground. Justin layed there for a few moments as he try to come to grasp the pain. "Well, this sucks" he said as he got up holding his arm. His mind raced with any any idea's on how to beat her.

Ki Tornado need to hands to use or else it wouldnt go very far. But he had a small idea and only hoped it would work. Putting his good hand behind him. He formed and created a half Ki Tornado as he started running towards Tif. Firing it off and into the ground. It was unstable but it served its purpose. When it exploded it sent Justin flying through the air very fast. He then ready a kick and threw it into her jaw as soon he was in striking range.

[Miburohunter929]

.
Natalie stood puzzled for a second.

"You don't recognize that god-king?"

"That is Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada.", Jericho told hi mas he watched the fight.



"Oh, Garthin, huh? I always thought he was a tad youn-Wait, what?!?!" Dean said, his voice bordering on exctiement and confusion.

"W-w-w-what the hell is he doing here?!! Shouldnt he be, like, Dead o-o-o-or something?!!"

[Miburohunter929]

Hunter already knows much of the secret history of Nevada through his mob connections. It involves alien contact, portals to other worlds, and human sacrifices, all roughly 5 million years ago, before the alleged evolution of mankind. That'll rock Dean's world.:p



Thank you Cleric, you always have the best RPG's.

OOC: You just wanted to make Dean think he was crazy! I knew it!

The kick knocked Tiffany right out of teh ring and K'Oed her.


However, Garthin still remained, the summoning still in effect until he regains his own mind.


Wit ha roar, he broke Henry's thought attack and kicked outward, sending a Vaccum blade that struck Henry and threw him backwards.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Oh, Garthin, huh? I always thought he was a tad youn-Wait, what?!?!" Dean said, his voice bordering on exctiement and confusion.

"W-w-w-what the hell is he doing here?!! Shouldnt he be, like, Dead o-o-o-or something?!!"

"It seems Wolf Summoned him from beyond the grave to fight for them."

[The Dog]

"That is Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada.", Jericho told hi mas he watched the fight.

"Ah yes, I remember Warrior King Garthin well. He was inhuman on the battlefield, a monster in the form of a man." said a regal-looking red-haired woman with three whisker-like scars on each cheek and dressed in a flowing deep blue kimono. Behind her waved nine fluffy red tails, and at her side was a blue-eyed boy with wild, sun-yellow hair, three whisker-like marks on each cheek, much like the woman's.

"How he managed to get involved in this child's squabble would probably prove an interesting story. I seem to remember the Warrior King and Old Nevada itself being wiped from history, known only by those who were there and the few descendants of that ancient people." the woman said.

[Vakanai]

OOC: You just wanted to make Dean think he was crazy! I knew it!

Well, I never said anything about warriors and all that other stuff Dean mentioned. Remember, Hunter did say there was an old Nevada, and that Dean was wrong about it. Dean never guessed all that other stuff. Plus I was saving that to get Hunter and Dean into some wild misadventures involving a road trip and a pet monkey and baby panda. If someone can still work that in, t'would be awesome.

[GrampaGen]

However, Garthin still remained, the summoning still in effect until he regains his own mind.


Wit ha roar, he broke Henry's thought attack and kicked outward, sending a Vaccum blade that struck Henry and threw him backwards.

The strike was hard, and sent Henry careening toward the ground. Inches before he hit, he telekinetically righted himself and floated back in before the count could begin. Still, he was rattled, not just because he was unused to physical combat, but because it hurt far less than he expected it to. His mind began to brew.

Justin, how you doing? he inquired Can you still keep up the pace?

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho turned, then bowed, kissing her hand.

"Lady, how good of you to come. It seems Necromancy was used to bring Garthin here. How have you been, by-the-way?"

[Miburohunter929]

"It seems Wolf Summoned him from beyond the grave to fight for them."

Dean was quite upset upon hearing this. If one had been paying attention to him, instead of the match, they would notice a rapidly twitching eye, and Dean grabbing the steel armrest to the side of him with such force, it became mangled.

It took everything Dean had to resist running onto the arena, finding who would have the balls to make a mockey of such a great man, and thus, everything Dean believed in, and hurt them. Badly. What was next? Were they going to to wipe their ass with the Nevadian flag?

On the other hand, although he wanted his teamates to win, he was awed to see the mighty Garthin do battle. He always wanted to see how a master of the old style fought.Along with getting his autograph.

But still, Dean bemoned the fact that such a great man had been enslaved by Wolf Dorm. He made a solem vow to punch someone from that dorm, in the face.

Hard.

Justin, how you doing? he inquired Can you still keep up the pace?

'I took out the students. But even if I was at my 100%. Im no match for that thing.' Justin said as he turned to Gorithor. 'Still, I dont have much choice. But you attack him mentally while I attack him physically. Only way I can see us beating him'.

[Miburohunter929]

Dean looked at the lady, surprise obviously on his face. "You know of Garthin?" He asked simply.

[Yun Lao]

OOC: Wow, two posts form Lily started a little trend for a while, go me! Anywho, it's almost time for some major twists character revelations involving Levi but at the moment, filler posts!


Levi kept his attention on the fight before him, seemingly interested and calm with the events unfolding all around him, though in truth, he was growing concerned. He began to feel much like an animal when it discovers that it surrounded by an approaching pack of predators. His hand rose, gently taking hold of his glasses, "This isn't good..." He muttered beneath his breath, "That one named Jim caused it to stir...but I fear that it is only a matter of time before someone awakens it..."


Meanwhile, Lilith Vargreaves smiled happily as one of the cloaked and hooded figures handed her a small cup of popcorn, "That you, Arthur." Popping a piece into her mouth, she relished the scenes before her, the thoughts that entered her mind. Their fears and their weaknesses, she would exploit them all.

[GrampaGen]

'I took out the students. But even if I was at my 100%. Im no match for that thing.' Justin said as he turned to Gorithor. 'Still, I dont have much choice. But you attack him mentally while I attack him physically. Only way I can see us beating him'.

I see. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you a favor. Keep his eyes on you, I need to get close to finish this. You might have to take another shot ot two, is that okay?

Not waiting for an answer, Henry floated off to the side of the arena opposite from Justin, moving in an oscillating pattern to build momentum in his flight.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Gartjin roared and began unleashing vaccum and preasure blades towards Henry and Justin, tearing the arena and stadium walls apart.

[GrampaGen]

Gartjin roared and began unleashing vaccum and preasure blades towards Henry and Justin, tearing the arena and stadium walls apart.

Though he was mystical in nature, Gartjin still had a mind. Henry was able to read his intentions scant seconds before they happened. He dodged by the skin of his teeth, deflecting the ones that came too close with a telekinetic barrier.

Justin, go!

[kain5252]

I see. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you a favor. Keep his eyes on you, I need to get close to finish this. You might have to take another shot ot two, is that okay?

Not waiting for an answer, Henry floated off to the side of the arena opposite from Justin, moving in an oscillating pattern to build momentum in his flight.

Gartjin roared and began unleashing vaccum and preasure blades towards Henry and Justin, tearing the arena and stadium walls apart.

'Do I have a choice?' Justin said in a humerous tone as he avoid Garthin's attacks. He then sent several dozen fire bombs on top on the giant to get his attention.

[Miburohunter929]

Gartjin roared and began unleashing vaccum and preasure blades towards Henry and Justin, tearing the arena and stadium walls apart.

Dean eyes widened in awe of the masterful technique that Garthin had just demonstrated.

"I Never would have thought of something like that!" Dean yelled, obviously pumped up by seeing such a sight.

"Go Garthin! Kick there asses!"

After a moment, Dean realized that Garthin was technically the enemy, much to his distatse.

"I mean..Go Henry. You can do it. You to Justin." Dean said, his heart obviously not in it.

[Miburohunter929]

Well, I never said anything about warriors and all that other stuff Dean mentioned. Remember, Hunter did say there was an old Nevada, and that Dean was wrong about it. Dean never guessed all that other stuff. Plus I was saving that to get Hunter and Dean into some wild misadventures involving a road trip and a pet monkey and baby panda.

Indeed :P Too bad you must leave us :(

[GrampaGen]

'Do I have a choice?' Justin said in a humerous tone as he avoid Garthin's attacks. He then sent several dozen fire bombs on top on the giant to get his attention.

...perfect.

The giant's eyes now on Justin, Henry sped his flight towards Garthin, and jumped on the back of his head.

"Back to Reno, Old Man!" he quipped as he grabbed his head, shocking his skull telekinetically and pouring all his psionic energy into overloading his mindscape.

This was extremely draining on him, but Henry would not move or yield. Either they would both go, or this would disorient the old King enough for Justin to finish it.

OOC: and with that, I gotta go too :( Hope someone's left for Natalie tonight

[The Dog]

Jericho turned, then bowed, kissing her hand.

"Lady, how good of you to come. It seems Necromancy was used to bring Garthin here. How have you been, by-the-way?"

"I have been well Jericho. I pray you have been the same." she said, returning the bow with one of her own.

"But you should thank my dear friend Anselm, for I would not have come had I not been asked to by him. And the situation must be dire for him to ask for my help." she said before turning to Dean.

Dean looked at the lady, surprise obviously on his face. "You know of Garthin?" He asked simply.

"Of course I know of Garthin. There isn't a demon alive that hasn't heard the tale of Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada." she said, still smiling.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Garthin froze as Henry zapped him. He then began to fade away as he spirit resumed it's previous journey.


However, before leaving entirely, Garthin looked at Dean and smiled, nodding his head to the last descendant of Old Nevada.


With that, Garthin disappeared.



"The winners are Henry and Justin! We will now repair the arena, and teh next fight will happen afterwards."


OT: I'm out too.


Be back on later tonight.

Justin landed. "Hey, we won" he then fell down on his back and held his broken arm.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"Ah yes, I remember Warrior King Garthin well. He was inhuman on the battlefield, a monster in the form of a man." said a regal-looking red-haired woman with three whisker-like scars on each cheek and dressed in a flowing deep blue kimono.

Kagura turned and seeing the red-haired woman started in surprise, "Kitsune.....?" she uttered astonished.

[Vakanai]

Indeed :P Too bad you must leave us :(

Yep. But I'm about to be really, really busy with some projects, plus I'm trying to wean myself off of my cbr dependence. And I need to get back to my writing. Plus I'm trying to start a relationship. And make some money...
Things really add up, don't they? So I'll be on a lot less.:(

[The Dog]

Kagura turned and seeing the red-haired woman started in surprise, "Kitsune.....?" she uttered astonished.

Turning to Kagura, the woman smiled and asked "Yes?"

[Chou Blaster]

Kagura turned and seeing the red-haired woman started in surprise, "Kitsune.....?" she uttered astonished.


:After watching the amazing win, he grins and nodded and agreed with Kagura.:

"Sure seems that way, as most nine tail foxes are female, last time I checked."

"Oh by the way, you did really good out there."

Edit:

Ramon: Wow. :Well still has his hopes for Rhia, but the Fox lady had awesome looks.:

[Miburohunter929]

"
"Of course I know of Garthin. There isn't a demon alive that hasn't heard the tale of Garthin, last Warrior King of Old Nevada." she said, still smiling.

Dean couldnt help but laugh. "I didnt think anyone around here knew of him, since they all thought I was crazy."


Garthin froze as Henry zapped him. He then began to fade away as he spirit resumed it's previous journey.


However, before leaving entirely, Garthin looked at Dean and smiled, nodding his head to the last descendant of Old Nevada.


With that, Garthin disappeared.



"The winners are Henry and Justin! We will now repair the arena, and teh next fight will happen afterwards."


OT: I'm out too.


Be back on later tonight.

Dean said nothing as Garthin faded away, but simply rose from his seat, and gave an Old Nevadian salute. Although he felt sad seeing such a great warrior go,and wanted to ask him so much....

Saddness was for lesser men. Not for men from Old Nevada, damnit.

Garthin had helped him in one way, however. After seeing such an epic battle, Dean realized why he had been destroyed during his earlier fight.

For a reason no one other than Dean could understand, He began laughing uncontrollably.

[Eternal Torment]

The clone smiled. "Hello, Alexia. I see you're alive and well." The girl shivered uncontrollably. "Stop....stop acting all nice! What are you really here for?!" He shook his head. "I can't tell you, Alexia. Alex has specifically forbidden me to reveal my objective to you."

She turned around, noticing the tattoo on the underside of his chin. "Father only sent a 1% clone over? It must be something unimportant, or else a 10% would be here with me." The clone shook his head. "No, that's not true. The rumour that we fed to Ivan omitted the fact that there is another one of me here."

His gray eyes flashed as he straightened up his lab coat. "Don't interfere in our work. We have express permission to discipline you should there be any trouble." The clone thought for a second. "Well, I will tell you this. Our objective is one of peace. There is no harm intended, unless we were confronted."

[KamenRaida]

A mixture of shock, anger and amazement flooded the emotions of Lin Xing as he watched the continuing battle. To think that in his lifetime, he’d have the honor to see so pure a display of power. Each blow the warrior threw could be felt by Xing who sat so far away from the spectacle.

And yet, Xing could not help but feel insulted at the nature of the God King’s arrival. So mighty a warrior? To be awoken from his rest for the mere entertainment of the masses? If they had not the ability to respect of a warrior, they should at least have been able to respect the man’s soul!

Xing made a futile struggle to prevent himself from conjuring up an image of locating the ant that had dared to desecrate the soul of the Nevadian King, and running his Dao through the scoundrel’s body.

However, in the end, such would not be necessary as victory was finally obtained for the Dragon Dorm. Xing whispered a prayer for the spirit as it faded away, and could not help but feel a twinge of sorrow.

Xing could only imagine how Dean’s or even Jon’s sorrow compared to his own. To despoil a worthy hero was one thing, but to do so to a hero that shared one’s own origins was really quite another. Xing sent his silent condolences to the two Nevadians.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Turning to Kagura, the woman smiled and asked "Yes?"

Kagura flushed faintly in embarrassment at her rudeness, "My apologies Kyuubi-sama!" she said bowing low.


OOC: I have to go to bed, now. But tomorrow be Friday! So I can stay up. :D

A lot better happen! Barely anything happen last Saturday, I was up till nearly 6AM my time!

[FalconX2000]

The clone thought for a second. "Well, I will tell you this. Our objective is one of peace. There is no harm intended, unless we were confronted."

OOC: I read that as 'Our objective is One Piece.' And was like :eek:

Sigh, I had a follow up post for the conversation with the Khandian King, but there was a database error and I lost it. I saved it, but its on the home comp. I'll try striking up the conversation with the royals again.

On another note, I'm ready for action baby!

BTC:

Xellos approached the Khandian King and Queen and took a bow, maintaining eye contact. He smiled genially,

" Evening, your highnesses. I am Xellos Raveneye, owner of Xanatos Industries. Your nation's qualities has made it one of our favourite customers for some time."

[Kevin M.]

Garthin froze as Henry zapped him. He then began to fade away as he spirit resumed it's previous journey.


However, before leaving entirely, Garthin looked at Dean and smiled, nodding his head to the last descendant of Old Nevada.

"YEAH" Jason cheered as he jumped up and down.

"Alright boy, way to kick some arse" Willy screamed over the crowd.

Kelly watched with a small smile of approval on his face.

"Way to go boy....way to go"

OOC: Who knows? Maybe Evil Clone Alex is looking for One Piece. But he's going to try and sell weapons to Khanda. Reference to Pale Star at the end. And this time, it will be a force in this game. Just you wait.

The other clone dropped in behind Angelique. "You know what to do. Connect all three of us." She nodded. "Alright, father- I mean, father's clone." Using her powers, Angelique linked the two clones and herself.

"Okay! Now can you please hurry? Real father will be angry if you clone fathers don't make it in time."

While one of the clones stayed with Alexia, the other one appeared close to the royals. "Angelique. The student known as Xellos Raveneye is speaking to them. We're going ahead anyways."

"Just do it right, please."

The clone Alex approached them.

"Excuse me, your highnesses. And Xellos. My name is Alex Desacosza, the current head of our noble family. I am here to try and negotiate a contract between your country and my syndicate, Clockworks."

[Tami]

Justin landed. "Hey, we won" he then fell down on his back and held his broken arm.

Tamiko rushed up to Justin, "I knew you could do it!" then "Are you allright? Your arm, I'll get the doctor, don't move." As she started to scan the area for the doctor.

Ramon: !?!

I got no right to say in matters like this, but form what i hear with my spying spell, he's a clone, and to treat human life in such a way, they shouldn't do business with him, neither one of them.. Though, I am just the son of a fisherman who knew magic, so I cannot say.

"Hmmm well you guys will need to make a choice, I hope you make the right one for your situaiton."
