From the last row of the upper deck, Wilks, Willy, Matsumoto, Jason, and Robert tried their best to see what was going on

"Why the fuck are we in this shite seats!"Willy screamed in anger.

"Because Wiliks got us banned from the frist row" Jason said as he turned to the drinking swordsmen.

"How was I suppose to know that you had to pay for those coolers?" he said.

"You stole them, and knocked out five people while doing it" Robert said as he tried his best not to punch Wilks.

"Who cares, let's just enjoy the fight" Jason said as he focused on the fight.

"Is that the Dragon Dorm who is winning, or the other team?" he asked

"Uh Jason, I think that is the hotdog vendor"

"oh"

Matsumoto just shook his head.

Kelly left his room just shortly after the first match began. As he closed the door, he looked around to make sure the coast was clear. When he felt content that it was, he walked off, seeing how Peter would handel his new found sword.

OT: If you want. However, if Xing ever wants to try again, just call. ;)

OT: Sure. For now, let's just say that Xing has sworn Tamiko to secrecy of his condition. :)

Dean sat down in his seat, anxious to see how the match would play out. He had never talked to Alexia, and had no idea of what she could do, and this would be as good a time as any.

If Dean was lucky, the match might make her seem less creepy in his eyes.

Xing limped his way over to a seat next to Dean. Merely presenting a wave to greet Dean, Xing's eyes wandered onto the arena. However, as was the case with the last few matches in the last round, Xing's mind was elsewhere. Tamiko, though Xing knew she had tried her best, had failed to save Xing from the early death that waited for him.

All night, he'd been training, trying to rid his mind of what would come soon. But that was not something difficult to ignore. Halfway through his training, Xing had vommited out blood again.

That only deepened his resolve through the second half of the night, and even now, though he had not gone through a full day of sleep, Xing could only allow himself to stay awake, knowing that his own battle would come soon anyway. He'd asked himself why he should bother, when his body would break apart in time, and he still wasn't completely sure why. Nonetheless, he was here, and he'd do what he needed to do.

"Dammit!"

She fired the Sorrow Drive, keeping the beam going as she blasted down most of the arrows that flew at her. She dodged the last arrows that escaped her attack.

"Alright then. I'll have to improvise." Alexia fired more beams at Faris, but she kept the power to a minimum to lessen the drain it had on her.

Faris nimbly dodged the attacks.

"Hmm, seems something else is needed. Very well then, I didn't want to do this, but it seems I have no choice. Don't worry, beautiful, I'll take it easy on you."

With that, Faris charged up a brilliant point of light at the tip of his next arrow. The ball of light expanded to the size of a basketball when Fars fired it.

Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Uzumaki Naruto, Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, and Haku all did it long before Gaara ever did.

Monkey D Luffy had a hard childhood, but his gramps still loved him in his own way.

Zoro's childhood wasn't normal, but it was hardly traumatic. One childhood friend dying isn't that bad.

Nami has no superpowers.

Usopp grew up without a dad. Far from the worst thing I've ever seen in fiction.

Sanji was perfectly fine, then starved nearly to death on an island with a kindly pirate who gave him all his food. Life changing, but its not going to change him for the worse.

Naruto was nowhere nearly as mentally unstable as Gaara.

Rock Lee's hardships are mostly self imposed. He doesn't have to be a ninja.

Not everyone roots for Sasuke.

Neji only really got popular after he stopped looking like an ass.

Hinata's father was far from an ideal one, but he provided for her and didn't abuse her.

As for Haku, you got a point, but he's dead. Gaara's fans still do have something to root for.

The attack landed right on top of Alexia.

The explosion shook the arena and stadium. After the dust settled, Alexia could be seen on her knees, still conscious. Her right arm was broken, and there was a large burn area on both her legs.

Natalie tugged on the spiritual string, watching Xellos fade away from the dreamscape. As she was tugged forward, suddenly in the real world she awoke with a start and landed face first on the opposite side of the bed. Surely this was reality, for she still couldn't move her legs.
--
With Xellos and Kekowa, Natalie was rolled into the stadium by Daichi and met up with Ramon there. Seeing Alexia in the arena, she waved her hat in the air and called out cheers for her friend. Though she seemed so vulnerable in person, up there you could hardly see that side of her.

Alexia stood up, still trying to figure out another way to get at him.

"I need to shoot him down...."

Gathering her energy for what could be her last Sorrow Drive, she took careful aim at Faris with her left arm.

"Come on....Shoot one more of those exploding sun arrows if you dare."

Natalie analyzed the other fighter. He had a presence about him not entirely earthly at all. It was as if he was...

"...an angel?"

Arrows of light as bright as the sun raining down, bright skin, and flight with wings, it would seem so at a glance. Even so, something seemed off about him.

"Go Alexia!" she cried out,"Icarus was just a man! And so is this is just a boy!"

"...I think."

"Oh, he's just teasing me now."

She was starting to tire, but that didn't matter. Alexia was going to beat Faris one way or another. She ran to the side of the arena that was underneath him, and fired a beam straight up at the man. She then followed up the beam with two bullet like blasts aimed at his wings.

Faris dodged the first attack, but the other two hit, striking his wings and causing him to fall to the ground.

Landing on his feet with an areial twist, he fired off another Sun Arrow, striking Alexia in the chest and slamming her out of the ring.

Landing on his feet with an areial twist, he fired off another Sun Arrow, striking Alexia in the chest and slamming her out of the ring.

"No....NOT YET!"

Alexia hit the ground hard, but she managed to recover and started running back to the ring.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"

Putting as much ki into her legs as she could, she leapt across the ring and pounced on Faris, knocking him over. She straddled his chest, redirecting her ki to her left arm.

"Let's see if you can shoot properly after I'm done with you!"

She grabbed his forearm and proceeded to twist it until the bone snapped and started to pierce through the skin. She followed that up with a vicious punch to the jaw.

"Enjoying yourself yet, prettyboy? How about I ruin that face of yours?"

Alexia drew her hand back and prepared to deliver a finishing blow to the fallen man.

Faris, crying out in pain and fear, suddenly formed a Sun Arrow in his hand, sans bow, and blasted Alexia off of him from point blank range, burning her badly.

Faris got up and formed another arrow in hand. He stalked over to where Alexia had begun to get up and kicked her, knocking her back. With the last of his energy, he jabbed the Sun Arrow through her good arm, pinning her to the ground.

"I may not be able to beat you, but at least you won't win the next fight."

With that, the pain overcame Faris and he passed out, his wings folding back into himself and his Sun Arrow slowly disapperaing (though the wound it dealt stayed).

"Alexia wins the match! She'll face Doron next if she can make it to her feet."

BTC:

Hmm, so that's the coping mechanism Alexia used to get through all that crap...

He raised his voice, projecting all the authority he could muster.

"Don't do it, Alexia. Reign yourself in. It doesn't matter if its you, or her, or her, or anything like that. It is your body, it is your mind. Choose the right way."

Do as you please. It's not like we have much else to do with Cleric gone. Xp

Also what kind of history would you like Trent and Kiran to have? I'm thinking old rivals from when they went to Arcadia together. :D

I'm not even sure Kiran went to Arcadia. Though I suppose it'd make sense...

It would help if I knew more about Trent's story, really.

Natalie turned her head from the match and spotted Selma, leaning in the entrance from the arena hallways to the arena. She pushed her wheelchair over to greet her.

"Ah, Selma! Good morning!"

Her friend was holding herself, vulnerable, as if fresh from a weeping mess.

"Oh no...are you all right?", the Witch asked, reaching up and putting a hand on her elbow.

Selma looked to Natalie and wiped her eyes as she said "I-I-I don't kn-kn-know. I-I wo-woke up thi-this mor-morning, go-got ready, and ca-ca-came here. I-I was fi-fi-fine un-until I-I got he-here, wh-when me-memories sta-started flo-flooding my mind."

She moved her wheelchair beside her, then backed up on the wall next to her.

"Estraunlich, ja? Do you want to talk about it? What happened in your past?"

Natalie wore a reassuring smile.

OK so... off to Trent's awesome introduction.

Does Kiran have listed stats? I wanna look at them so I don't go and make Trent overly powerful cause I think he can have a pretty awesome fight between the two. :)

IC:

The door to Henry and Sirus' dorm flung across the room and smashed into the opposite wall. Instantly waking Henry and Sirus, but neither of them could move and or use their powers.

"Don't try to do anything. You can't, as I have blocked all of your powers." Jessica said coming in with a smile.

"You!" Henry exclaimed, recognizing Jessica as the telepath from Shadow. "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

"Me? I'm simply doing this on my father's behalf."

"Our father's behalf." Wolf said, entering from behind Jessica.

"Who is you father and what does he want from us?" Sirus said, confused.

"Their father? Have you disowned me already my son?" Trent Savage said, as he entered the room.

"DAD!!!?!!?" Henry and Sirus exclaimed in unison

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, lets get to the point. Where are the artifacts and my books?"

"Y-you...you mean...that you're doing all of this just to get back those books?" Henry said, on the verge of tears "And who are these two?"

"These two? You mean you don't recognise family? This is you're half-sister and half-brother. Don't worry, your mother isn't too heartbroken what with her being dead and all. And yes, I'm doing this for the books. They are the key to ultimate power after all."

Henry bit his lower lip, not wanting to give his father the satisfaction of seeing him cry. Sirus, surprisingly held a straight face.

"So it has come to this huh?" Sirus said flatly.

"Yes. Wolf, fetch the books." Trent said, emotionlessly

"Yes father." Wolf said as Jessica telepathically guided him to them by reading Henry and Sirus' minds.

Grabbing the books and two artifacts, Wolf made his way back to Trent and handed them to him. "Good, good...."

"You may dispose of these two however you wish. We can then take our leave of this wretched place." Trent as he turned and left Wolf and Jessica to dispose of Henry and Sirus.

"I guess this is goodbye...brothers." Wolf said with a smirk as he lifted both of them with one hand each and smashed them through the wall, leaving them to drop several feet before hitting he ground with a sickening *thud*. Jessica merely giggled as she and Wolf left to catch up with their father.

Taking a deep breath, Selma began telling Natalie about her the memories she had been forced to re-live. As she spoke, she took hold of Natalie's hand, squeezing it gently each time she felt herself begin to break until she regained her composure.

Finishing her tales, she kept hold of Natalie's hand, but didn't dare look at her as she said "Y-you must think I-I'm we-weak an-and stu-stupid."

And I can see now wh-why you couldn't love me, even if you did like girls. Selma thought.

Clearly in a passionate grief, Selma's grip was straining on Natalie's hand; not exactly crushing it but definitely noticeable. Her face was a mix of a wince and concern as she heard Selma lay out her memories.

"I see...why would they leave you there, all alone? Certainly it was unfair. And so quick to punishments as well, ja? That's horrible..."

At Selma's mental remark, Natalie made an awkward face. She could hear it quite clearly, but decided to hide that fact.

"No, you aren't weak or stupid, ja?" Natalie answered , bringing her other hand over to Selma's,"This was circumstance out of your control."

He needed to call for help but strangely enough before alerting Ruman or Jericho, the first person he thought of was....

"Disrupted psychic feedback causes the brain to overload itself, causing excruciating pain. You'll tell me yourself where you are, whether you want to or not. But for now, auf weidersehen! ZERUTTEN!"

Also, Congrats on 13k posts :D

Does the arena not have exits whic lead into hallways?

Sorry, I should've said that he sees Trent pass a doorway, not a hallway :D

OOC: Sure, whatever. Let's rock.

IC:

Hmm? Kiran turned his head and arched an eyebrow.

"Something the matter dear?" Raksha asked.

Kiran frowned. Couldn't be... Or could it?

He turned to his wife. "Oh, nothing. I just... have to use the bathroom." He laughed. "You know how it is, when nature calls even royalty has to listen." ^^

Raksha rolled her eyes. "So unworthy. Very well, don't let me keep you."

As Kiran slipped away, he didn't see Raksha's concerned glance. Lousy liar, she thought, I can always tell when your laugh is fake...

"Sometimes you wish you could just beat your problems up, don't you? Well, I've found one for you! Quick! Let's go!"

Selma looked up to Natalie in surprise before nodding, getting to her feet as she did so. Taking hold of Natalie's wheelchair, Selma smiled slightly and said "Hold on!" before taking off through the hallways, following Natalie's directions.

Maxwell groaned in pain as he shook his head, Ishii looking at him in curiousity as he said "Selma and her girlfriend are coming! We need to leave!"

"No! We must fight!" Ishii cried, Maxwell shaking his head as he said "Not right now! I won't be at full capacity after that attack, and more than likely they'll bring one or more Dragon Dorm teachers."

"But..." Ishii started, but Maxwell stood, patted her arm with a pained smile and said "Don't you worry your pretty little head Ishii, we'll fight them. But we'll fight them at our discretion, not there's. To do otherwise would be foolish."

Ishii looked unsure, but nodded and moved over to Maxwell, who engulfed them in shadows, disappearing from the room seconds before Selma kicked the door open.

"Damn. They managed to get away." Selma said with a sigh.

She turned to Natalie with a smile, patting the girl on the arm as she said "But thank you for helping me anyways. I honestly don't know what I would do without your help Natalie, I really don't..."

Xellos considered telling Natalie where he was going, but she seemed rather preoccupied, staring intently into Selma's eyes as if locked in her own problem. Best not to ruin her concentration.

He followed after Rhia, who was rushing off after an apparently urgent problem. When she reached her destination, he was taken aback at the mangled bodies of the Savage brothers, both barely alive.

Their bleeding was heavy. They'd die within a few minutes if something wasn't done soon. Ruman was needed at the arena...

Taking out his phone, he dialled King Kiran,

"Is this room service? I'd like to order a medic, well done, with 2 stretchers on the side. Its for my friends, Sirus and Henry Savage, who are positively dying for some meds."

The impact through the wall had ruptured a water pipe. Asking Rhia to step back, he made a pulling motion with his hand. The water drew towards him, and he manipulated it into 2 sheets, making it thicker as more liquid joined it.

Pushing Sirus off Henry, he lowered the temperature of the water to just below freezing, then dumped it on the brothers. He then emitted a steady stream of frost in both hands, until the siblings were in suspended animation. That would keep them alive till a healer arrived.

OOC: Damn, posted after Ghost. :D. O well, he got the call while he was heading off. Sound good?

Natalie just laughed. It was quite a rush, dissecting Maxwell's petty plot and then taking off on a high speed chase. She doubled over, looked back at Selma, and laughed so hard she began to tear.

"Mein...mein Gottin...hahaha! He...thought he...hahaha!"

She was running out of breath, and the pain returned to her jaw, but she couldn't help it. After several moments she sighed, broke a smile on her lips, snorted, then contained herself.

"Ah...see, you shouldn't be so caught up in the past, Selma. What has happened happened, and though nothing can change that, look where you are now - look at who you are now, ja? There is much joy to be had all around, but you might not find it if you keep concentrating on that misery. Even if you don't know where your parents are, if they saw you now..."

Natalie turned her head and yelled into the air.

"THE FIRE MAGE THAT SCARES OFF DUMMKOPFEN BOGGARTS!"

Then turned back to her friend, "They would have no right to turn you down."

OOC: brb in a bit. Also, are those two still in this place? Because Natalie would have noticed if that were the case.

Selma nodded with a smile, too happy to want to tell Natalie that she knew where her parents were.

"Of course you're right Natalie." Selma said, her smile falling slightly as she said "But it won't be easy for me to do so, not without your continued help and guidance Natalie. And I do thank you for your help Natalie, I don't know what I would do without you..."

Feeling her heart flutter and before she realized what she was doing, she knelt beside Natalie and placed her lips gently against the witch's. However, her eyes widened as she realized what she was doing and moved away.

"S-sorry Natalie... I-I don't kno-know what I-I was thinking... I-it's just tha-that you-you've helped me fa-far more than you ca-can ever know, and I di-didn't kno-know how else to tell you..." Selma stuttered, her face turning a deep crimson.

"...we'll work on that," she replied, solemnly, but with a small smirk,"Let's go back to the arena, ja? Also, we really ought to do something about mental defenses for the time being. If we had a pen somewhere..."

Trent cracked his knuckles and his neck. "Indeed, moments like this make me believe there is such a thing as fate. You cheated me out of the tournament all those years ago and now get to settle the score. Petty? Perhaps, but you deserve it my friend. Now that I have all the artifacts and the books on how to use them. Arcadia is mine, and then with an army of super fighters as my slaves... the world will fall beneath my heel!"

Kiran chuckled. "You always did talk like a second-rate comic book villain, you know that? 'Artifacts' this, 'ultimate power' that. But I don't really care about your plans, Trent. I used to humour you about all that because it was funny, and you made a good rival. But you were fool back then, and if you're planning to take Arcadia on, I'd say you haven't seen much improvement over the years."

"I suspected we might end up meeting again, you know?" he carried on. "Especially when I read the intelligence report on this year's class and saw the name Savage twice. 'Can't be a coincidence', I thought." He smiled wryly. "By the way, I think one of your sons has a soft spot for my daughter. Oh, belive me, the irony isn't lost to me!"

"And speaking of your sons, I just recived a call informing me that the two of them have just been gravely wounded by an unknown assailant." Kiran's smile vanished and he looked straight at the other man. "Trent, what have you done?"

He ran to get medics the conventional way, carrying them back to the scene to faster tend to their injuries. As he defrosted Henry, he continued his analysis.

Kiran has an astounding combat training pedigree. He should be able to beat most opponents he runs into while blindfolded and tied up. It must be a powerful opponent, perhaps the one that injured Henry...

He looked to the princess, kneeling beside Henry as the medic worked on him.

"Rhia, call your mother. Tell her your father is in danger. He's probably somewhere between here and the arena."

With that, he rushed off. If there was an opponent powerful enough to give Kiran pause, he might not be of much use, but he'd see what he could do.

"Heh, coward just like all those years ago? FACE ME!" Trent screamed bashing the floor beneath them with both fists causing a mini-earthquake.

The shockwave caused Kiran to stumble just as he appeared behind Trent. He barely manage to dodge a blow and nimbly jumped outside Trent's reach.

Putting a hand to his robes, he found a small tear near his shoulder. He chuckled. "So you want me to face you, huh? Okay, how's..."

Vanishing again, he closed the distance between them almost instantly and brought his hands up like a spear, breaking Trent's guard. For a brief moment, their faces were very close. "...THIS?"

His elbow hit Trent in the chest with as much force as Kiran could muster. Now in close, Kiran started raining blows on his enemy, shifting position so fast he seemed to be in multiple places at once.

I'm still not making any damage to this freak! he thought. Dammit, let's try something else...

Trent tried to hit him with a kick, but Kiran leapt out of the way again. Landing on the nearby wall, he pushed himself off with his legs and sent himself flying with both fists aimed for his enemy. Fall!

Dr. Ruman and Bloodmoon suddenly teleported in to Xello's location. Ruman rushed over and began healing Sirius and Henry while Bloodmoon kept a ready stance, waiting to defend against an attack.

Xellos thought as he sprinted,

I should avoid direct confrontation. I'd get in the way or be taken hostage...there's no time to inform the teachers personally, I'll have to trust Rakhsha to do what she thinks is best from the arena...so what can I do?

it took but a moment,

of course!

Diverting his course, he soon found his way to the security control room. Quickly explaining the situation to the guards on duty, he stopped them from sounding the general alarm.

"Doing that would tip him off without really accomplishing anything. Queen Rakhsha of Khanda is already handling the situation in the arena."

"Then what do you think we ought to do?"
The guard snorted, annoyed.

"Let me show you."

Before they could react, Xellos slipped behind him and rapidly keyed several commands into the computer console. Every single door in the building was locked down, except for the ones leading from Queen Rakhsha's location to Rhia's. Elavators shut down, trapping their occupants within. Security grating at designated check points began descending, cutting off escape routes. Kiran's opponent, and any other assailants in the building were not going anywhere soon.

He smiled in satisfaction and began manipulating the security cameras, trying to find any hint of where the enemy might be.

Lip reading the doctor, who was commenting on Xellos's actions after hearing the story from Rhia, Xellos smiled in silent acknowledgement, even if no one was there to understand it.

"Grand Cross!"

A large Ki/Magic blast took Trent from behind, slamming him into the nearby wall and breaking at least one rib.

Walking down the corridor was the a man. His staff ablaze with magic, he strolled down the hallway, his cold eyes never leaving Trent's form. No longer was this Jericho Mourn. No, this was the monster feared throughout the world.

This was the "Iron Cross", and he wasn't playing around right now.

Dr. Ruman and Bloodmoon suddenly teleported in to Xello's location. Ruman rushed over and began healing Sirius and Henry while Bloodmoon kept a ready stance, waiting to defend against an attack.

"You did the right thing, Xellos. Without you aiding them when you did, I might not have been able to reach them in time."

Awww! Me and Khold had the perfect ending for the fight planned out and everything! :(

12-12-2007, 07:19 AM

Tamiko walked back into the building near the arena. Finding a quiet spot in a corner, she sat down, legs crossed, and mediatated. As the tournament progressed, she could feel an emotion that was trying to surface. One that was almost alien to her. As she meditated, she tried to clear her mind of that emotion, and of the uneasiness that she couldn't seem to shake off.

As she meditated, a vision came to her. A vision of a man, an elderly man dressed in a black robe and carrying a staff of knotted wood from the most ancient of trees. The old man smiled evilly, then moved his staff gently, in a wide arc from left to right. As he did so, Tamiko saw the bodies of her teachers, of Jericho, Kelly, and the others lying on the ground each one covered in their own blood.

The elderly man appeared once again, moving his staff as if casting a spell. Her vison then changed to the past. She saw herself sitting on the ground, Gregory's lifeless body next to her, her gi covered in his blood. Hearing the sound of the elderly man's cackeling laughter ringing in her ears, Tamiko was finally able to snap out of the trance.

Holding her right hand over her heart, her hand forming into a fist, she leaned against the wall, her breathing laboured, her body shaking slightly. Finally getting up the strength to stand, she takes a deep breath to try and calm herself, then headed back towards the arena area. A serious look on her face.

Someone tried to mess with Selma's head. Natalie pwned him, though, after which there was more Nat/Selma bonding.

The Savage Bros had a visit from their super-villain dad who tried to kill them. Turned out he and King Kiran knew each other since their school days, so they decided to have a fight for old times sake.

Dean sat down in his seat, anxious to see how the match would play out. He had never talked to Alexia, and had no idea of what she could do, and this would be as good a time as any.

If Dean was lucky, the match might make her seem less creepy in his eyes.

Apparently, Dean and luck were not good friends. Watching Alexias match, did nothing to ease his thoughts towards her. Infact, all this match had succedded in doing, was making Dean feel that much more untrusting of the girl.

Atleast the part of the match he caught before dozing off, being awakened by the concrete floor.

Crap, I'm tired. I knew I should have gotten some sleep before getting here.

As Dean said this, he had a image of himself, tired, weary, and on his last legs, facing a mighty opponent, fully refreshed.

He tipped Dean over with one finger.

I think I'm gonna go take a nap. If anyone needs me, they know where to find me.

Without a word to anyone, Dean rose from his seat, streched, while doing a massive yawn, and headed back for his hotel room.

Miburohunter929

12-12-2007, 11:25 AM

OOC: God Bless twilight princess. I totally know how to do this :)

IC:
"Why the hell do elves have to make everything so damn complicated?!!" Dean yelled out, to no one in paticular, as he walked the beach, headed to the hotel, a book in his hand.

He had been reading the book since before the tornament started, and still could barely figure out how to work his damn knife. Who could blame him? With all these handsign combinations to make the damned thing go left, and right, and go for the heart, and to spin in midair, it seemed more like a math problem, the more he read.

If Dean wants to stab an enemy in the kidneys with his knife at 10 miles an hour, from fifty feet away, how many gang signs will he have to throw up to accomplish this, and what combination?

He had figured out how to get the blade to return to him. That was simple enough. Unfortunately, figuring out how to do it without getting impaled by it's return, was quite another.

Apparently, the return command somehow gave the knife the impression that slinging itself towards Dean, blade first, at sub-sonic speeds, would be helpful, instead of potentially fatal. It would be helpful if there were a line of enemies between him and it, however, there wasnt, so Dean usually ended up stabed, or something behind Dean did, due to Dean managing to evade it in time.

"If I ever find out who made this damn thing" Dean began "I'm gonna-Whoah!"

As Dean was walking, someone- or possibly something, had found it acceptable to trip him, introducing Deans face to the Beach floor.

"God damnit, was that really necessary" Dean said between spitting out globs of sand. Dean looked up to see who would have the gaul to do such a dickish thing.

Apparently, A bear had saw itself fit to do such a thing. It was a huge bear too, atleast twice Deans size, on its hind legs, and looked strong enough to swat Dean with enough strength to shatter many of his bones.

While Dean had many questions, one of which was why a bear would even *be* on a beach. Another being why a bear would trip him.

The most prominent question in his mind, however, was when the hell Bears started getting glowing golden fur. And why the hell the bear was looking at him, face to face, at so close a distance Dean could kiss it.

And it was sniffing his face, while it looked.

"Umm....Hi?" Dean asked timidly.

"ROAHGH!!!!!!!" The Bear responded, before pouncing at Dean.

Oh Fuck was all Dean had time to think before everything flashed white.

The shockwave caused Kiran to stumble just as he appeared behind Trent. He barely manage to dodge a blow and nimbly jumped outside Trent's reach.

Putting a hand to his robes, he found a small tear near his shoulder. He chuckled. "So you want me to face you, huh? Okay, how's..."

Vanishing again, he closed the distance between them almost instantly and brought his hands up like a spear, breaking Trent's guard. For a brief moment, their faces were very close. "...THIS?"

His elbow hit Trent in the chest with as much force as Kiran could muster. Now in close, Kiran started raining blows on his enemy, shifting position so fast he seemed to be in multiple places at once.

I'm still not making any damage to this freak! he thought. Dammit, let's try something else...

Trent tried to hit him with a kick, but Kiran leapt out of the way again. Landing on the nearby wall, he pushed himself off with his legs and sent himself flying with both fists aimed for his enemy. Fall!

Trent caught Kirans two fights, though not without sliding back a few feet. "Seriously, did you focus solely on speed? DIE!" Trent said coming in with a gigantic headbutt but Kiran managed to slip away and disappeared again.

"Hmmm, I'll have to break your legs next time. Where are you now? FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!" Trent yelled as he began tearing down the walls and shaking the enitre building.

No doubt by now everyone inside the building would've sensed that something was going on.

Spotting Kiran, Trent ran forward in a rage both fists clenched and ready.

Miburohunter929

12-12-2007, 12:13 PM

Dean was no longer on the beach, at least mentally.

He was in the middle of a massive courtyard, large grey towers on the four corners of the yard, each of the towers surrounded by sevel dozen tombstones. If Dean had been awake, he would have noticed very little of this, thanks to the extremely thick fog, making it difficult to see more than fifteen feet away.

Out of nowhere, a man clad in a thick Grey robe appeared through the fog. The features of his body obscured by the hugeness of his robe. Except his massive height, which seeing as the man was atleast seven feet tall, made sense.

The man silently walked towards where Dean lay, and spoke.

"Awaken Child." the smooth, yet vaguely ominous sounding voice said to Dean.

Or rather at Dean's unconcious body, which showed no signs of movement.

"Awaken Child." The voice said again.

No movement.

"I SAID AWAKEN!" The voice screamed, planting a boot in Deans ribs, sending him flying several feet, until he hit a gravestone.

"Ugh." Dean said as he struggled to his feet. "Jesus man, no need to be so-"

Suddenly, Dean remembered what had happened. His internal monologue about his knife, his face crashing into the sand...

And the Giant Golden Bear, who had decided to eat his ass.

Dean quickly pulled out his Knife and Sword, wielding them in both hands, looking for his animal assilant. "I know your here somewhere! Dont think you can just attack me and get away with it!"

"You are in no danger, child." Responded the man who had kicked Dean through several gravestones not three minutes ago.

"The hell I'm not! A big ass bear just tried to eat my ass!" Dean shouted.

"I was not trying to eat you. It's just that...Well, It's kinda complicated. We can get into my personal problems later, alright?"

Dean turned to where the voice had been coming from. "What? That was you? Then what the fuck is your problem?! You trip me, then roar at me? Your speaking english right now, couldnt you have, I dont know....Said something?"

If Dean had been able to see through the thick fog, he would have saw the man sigh, and plant his hand on his robed head in annoyance.

"That's not important." The man replied, trying to ignore Dean.

"What is important, is that I've found you. It's been several ages since I've seen one of our kind. If it wasnt for Garthin being disturbed from his resting place, I suspect I never would have known you existed. I suppose I should be thankful that your generation knows nothing of respect for great warriors."

The Hooded man began walking through the fog, towards where Dean was standing, a confused look on his face, Attempting to figure out what this was all about.

"But, you do exist, which means I get to do my job. And you get to learn of the ways of our People." The man replied. "I cant let our Old Nevadian arts fade away, simply because of a minor technicality."

Dean sheathed his weapons, as the man approached. He didnt seem to be a threat, atleast at the moment.

"Alright." Dean said, trying to process what the hell had just happened. "Let's start over."

Dean raised his hand, and waved to the Hooded figure.

"Hi, I'm Dean Gatlain. Who the hell are you?"

"Hmmm, I'll have to break your legs next time. Where are you now? FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!" Trent yelled as he began tearing down the walls and shaking the enitre building.

No doubt by now everyone inside the building would've sensed that something was going on.

Spotting Kiran, Trent ran forward in a rage both fists clenched and ready.

Kiran smirked and jumped over the attack, landing with his feet on Trent's head. Pushing off in a flip, he managed to throw Trent off balance and jetison himself to safety at the same time.

Quicly getting back on his feet, Trent turned around with a roar only to find that Kiran had taken a ready position a few meters away from him.

"You know what? You're absolutely right," the king said. "This isn't going anywhere, so I'll go right ahead and finish it. No more fooling around."

Suddenly a bright blue aura of chi lit up his body. Kiran held his right arm out. "I'm sure you remember my old specialty," he said as the chi started to gather in his hand. A crackling sounds filled the air as the sphere of energy quickly grew and started to emmitting arching strands of electricity in all directions.

(OOC: Think a large Chidori from Naruto.)

"All the storms of Heaven in the palm of my hand..." Kiran bent he knees, like a sprinter ready to dash. "...Thunderstorm Talon!"

Trent could not see him move, and had no chance dodging the attack. Kiran covered the distance between them with inhuman speed and slammed the Thunderstorm Talon straight into Trent's chest where it exploded with enough force the rip a large car to pieces. Trent was sent straight into the nearest wall, which was partially demolished by the blast, and dust and debrees rained down on him.

Breathing hard, Kiran walked up to him with a fierce expression. "How's that for fighting like a man?"

"Nice." Trent said calmly, busting out from under the debree and grabbing Kiran by the throat, "That actually hurt. Allow me to repay the favor."

Trent shifted his grab to under both of Kiran's arms and raised him above his head. "Remember my specialty?" Trent jumped a good few feet into the air before slamming Kiran into the ground, taking both of them through several floors and creating a crater at the bottom.

"Lets do this another time Kiran. But the next time you see me, this school will be mine, as will the world." Trent laughed.

Trent frowned. "What are you...?"

Then he felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around...

...and was hit in the face by the fist of Queen Raksha. The blow sent him flying like a ragdoll, crashing straight through a nearby concret pillar.

"Hands off my husband!" she snarled.

"You tell him, Raksha,” Kiran said.

“And you shut up!” Raksha barked, pointing an accusing finger at him. “Don’t try to pretend you planned this or something! Sneaking away to have a ‘man to man’ fight with your old nemesis behind my back, huh? I bet you feel very macho now! Moron!”

Kiran smiled. “I love you too.”

Trent couldn't deal with a fresh opponent of Raksha's caliber just yet. He decided to take this moment to flee and regroup with his children. He had already gotten what he wanted.

"Mark my words Kiran, Arcadia is already mine!" Trent said before disappearing from sight, Jessica using her powers from far to conceal him from sight while he left.

'So reckless Daddy, why didn't you let us help?' she said to him.

'Because I don't want any deaths just yet. That would draw way too much attention. I've already drawn a bit more attention than desired although its my fault I chose to stay and fight Kiran.'

'Don't worry Daddy, we have everything we need now. Its only a matter of time before Arcadia is yours.'

'And guess who'll be Daddy's little princess.'

"I think so," Kiran said, letting her pull him out of the crater. "I'm going to be sore for a while, but I'll live."

Trent wants it, Alex wants it (or the ring, whatever) and Solarius presumably has similar goals in mind.

Christ, Arcadia has nothing but enemies.

Coincidently, I'm having some thoughts.

1) Have Dean miss the enitre Second Battle arc, Due to this training to get Shingan. Possibly have him absent for half the Charcter building arc (Aka, right after this dorm fight) due to a Ghost inhabiting his currently souless body. Shinanigans will insue, and everyone would be happy.

2)Have Dean miss *most* of the current arc, and arrive at the last minute to fight whoever the final opponent is, assuming Dibs have not already been called. Shingan in hand, obviously.

And to answer any plot holes:
1)Dean is in another realm spiritually, like the astral realm, or something. His body, is still lying on the beach.

2)Time passes a tad bit differently there, which is why Dean has enough time to gain the Shingan.

3) If you dont like it, tough.

OOC: Hmm.... Hard to say. Deans body is on the beach, separated from his soul.

Xellos and co just arrived to see the aftermath of the Kiran/Trent fight, and apparently have to go somewhere with Alex.

I dont know where Kagura and The CO are. Probally at the Arena.

And Henry and Sirus are probally still KO'ed.

I suppose you could haul my unconcious body to my hotel room or something....Or, you could RP some training.

OOC: Training will come later. Now what I promised you back story:D

Kekowa had gone back to the Hotel after witnessing Alexia destoy her opponet, the battery dead in his phone he realized it was mid moring back home and would call to check oin his boys.Man I think Alexia's dark side is coming out. Must make it a point to Smash her father under my feet. In the mean time I have to see if my boys are behaving He picked up a wore;ess phone and Dialed The vocie on the other line picked up

"Hey Koko, its your BOSS"

"Oh so sorry, kekowa-san please forgive me and a thousand..."

"Oh clam down I was kidding, how are you guys."

"Um we are fine."

"Koko what has happened to you and my city? Please I have to know."

"Kekowa-san, after you left Uesi-san decided to take over completly, gathering up anyone who would listen to his new order."

"Which is?"

"Only the strong can survive. he has created great conflict between all the schools, driving a wedge between them where you had built a bridge and a alliance. He has stopped our crime patrols and has even started Bickering with the Yakuza."

"The WHAT! That little arrogant punk, I bleed and fought hard to force the Yakuza to leave us alone I even had to... Anyway, How could he turn I thaught him everything he knows, he's my second?"

"Perhaps he was plotting against you, or got some wires crossed. Anyway Ive managed to keep most of the original "Boys" intact but Usei grows very strong, dare I say even stronger that you, I beg for your return."

"he is not stronger than I I have ammased strength to crush any foe. I will contact Usei, and if he is unswadded I will handle the matter. Untill then YOU will be my second, and handle matters. Dont let me down."

Kekowa hanged up the phone and raced to the arena to find Jericho

OOC: Good to see the Old Nevadians were as serious as Dean

Where was Levi all this time when chaos and confusion rained within the hotel? What could have been so important that would keep him from helping out?

Well...

...he was fighting his own battles.

---

Deciding to get something to eat before the next match, Levi got his usual meal of fish, rice, and tea. While that act in itself wouldn't bring the foretold battle, it was when he sat down at a small stone bench and table to eat his meal that it would begin. While he noticed someone was approaching him from behind, he never would have thought it would be...her.

"I've found you!" Levi dove to the side, barely missing the ax kick that struck the table causing it shatter apart in an explosion of stone. Rolling across the ground, the former monk quickly gained his footing and face his attacker...and his eyes nearly bugged out of his head.

Though she appeared to be an ordinary Japanese schoolgirl in her uniform, she was one that he knew all too well. With a smile, she spoke, "I knew that was you, Levi-sama!"

"Tomoe?!"

"Hi, I'm Dean Gatlain. Who the hell are you?"

"I" The Hooded Man began " Am Sabin. If you want to go by formal titles..." The man took a deep breath before talking.

"Sabin Traix. Former Battlemaster of the Old Nevadia Army, Personal bodyguard of the last queen of Old Nevada, slayer of over five hundred men, and charged with the job of passing on the ways of our long gone people, onto our descendants."

After a moment, Sabin then added: "I also watch over the Graves of the Royal Family, But Gravekeeper dosnt exactly sound as glorious as all the other stuff I said."

Dean looked at the man, silent for a moment. After careful consideration of what to say, he spoke:"Alright, assuming you're not a total liar, shouldnt you be dead?"

Sabin looked at Dean for a moment, then began laughing. "Come now, you dont think something as trivial as that would stop me from doing my duty, do you?"

"Well, I kinda assumed it would." Dean began, glaring at the hooded man "Because Dying usually does that to a guy."

Sabin let out a sigh, and moaned in annoyance, before explaining. "Okay, yes, I should be dead. Infact, I technically am. To keep things simple, I'm like a ghost, or a zombie, but different. Okay?"

Sabin was getting annoyed. He spent all these years searching for the Descendants of Old Nevada, who he could pass on the old ways of combat to.....

And when he finally found one, they wanted to spend the whole day playing twenty questions. People these days were so insolent. In his day, they would have been kicked through a building for such things. Atleast this didnt piss his pants when they met. Many of his predecessors had.

"Whatever" Dean said simply. "So where the hell am I, and why am I here?"

Finally! Sabin thought. I thought it would have taken this kid twenty minutes to realize he was somewhere else.

"It's simple. Physically, your still on the beach. Your spirit, however, is quite a ways away. Your spirit is in a different plane of existence. You know of the Astral Realm, and such things, I assume?"

"Nope." Dean said simply. "Been there once to go get a stone, and my friends played some chutes and ladders, but thats about it. And I specfically remember not leaving my body to do it."

If one had been able to see Sabins eyes, he would have been rolling them. It's one thing to enter the Realm, and there is nothing wrong with not knowing what it is, even. It's quite another matter another to enter it, and play a god damned childrens game upon arriving.

Not to mention the kids apparent lack of insight. Sabin had said he was going to instruct him in the old ways, not five minutes ago.

Easy Sabin, Easy. Kids are stupid, it's a natrual occurance, not his fault.

Refusing to dignify Deans chutes and ladders statement with a response, he answered the second question. "The reason you are here, is to learn how to kick ass, the Old Nevadian way. This place is a Training Ground of our people. Obviously, since I am a trainer, and this is a training ground, and seeing as no one else is here, It's a fair guess that I intend to train you. "

" I already know how to kick ass!" Dean shouted in annoyance. "I've been doing it for years! Even if I didnt, I'm going to a school that was created for the specific purpose of helping me kick more ass!"

God damnit, do kids ever shut the hell up?!?!

"Yes, I'm sure you're great and all that." Sabin said voice tense, as he called on all his restraint, to prevent himself from backhanding the boy.

"But I can sense your power, and in Old Nevada, it would be nothing. I can help you gain skills the likes of which you've never imagined. All you would have to do, is occassionaly shut the hell up, and learn."

Sabin smiled a vicious grin underneath his hood. "Think you can manage it? Or are the descendents of our people nothing but cowards nowdays?"

Dean flashed an annoyed look at Sabin. Dean did need to gain more power, his reuninion with Jon, and the display of the might of Garthin had made that crystal clear.

After a moment of silence, Dean had his answer. "Well? Hurry the hell up. I dont want to miss the tournament, because I was busy playing around with your zombie ass."

Trent couldn't deal with a fresh opponent of Raksha's caliber just yet. He decided to take this moment to flee and regroup with his children. He had already gotten what he wanted.

"Mark my words Kiran, Arcadia is already mine!" Trent said before disappearing from sight, Jessica using her powers from far to conceal him from sight while he left.

'So reckless Daddy, why didn't you let us help?' she said to him.

'Because I don't want any deaths just yet. That would draw way too much attention. I've already drawn a bit more attention than desired although its my fault I chose to stay and fight Kiran.'

'Don't worry Daddy, we have everything we need now. Its only a matter of time before Arcadia is yours.'

'And guess who'll be Daddy's little princess.'

'Me? Yay!'

OOC: IS EVERYBODY ignoring what Xellos is doing? He's not with Rhia and the others dammit. Xellos rushed to the control room and has initiated a security lockdown. All doors are locked and security grating has come down at the checkpoints. Trent and his acknowledged family need to find a way to escape if Khold wants them to be recurring characters.

Xellos continued lip reading through the security cameras...the damn things weren't advanced enough to keep up with the fights effectively, but at this slower pace they were sufficient.

The security guards had backed off, letting him do his work unimpeded.

Alex is threatening them? We'll see about that.

Accessing the PA system, Xellos spoke into the microphone,

"Attention all Arcadian teachers, attention all Arcadian teachers. We have had an incident on floor 2, hall 5 that we need you to look into. Please proceed with all possible haste, thank you."

"Tomoe, what are you doing here?" Levi asked. Nakano Tomoe simply smiled and shifted into a fighting stance. "Why are we fighting?" "No talking!" Launching a punch at his chest, Levi dodged only for Tomoe to punch the metal umbrella stand that stood in the center of the formerly standing table, bending it half.

Shifting into a defensive stance, Levi locked eyes with Tomoe, the girl smirking some, "Now you got the idea."

OOC: Sorry for the Novels, but Hey, It must be done.

IC:

Dean didnt like Sabin very much. The fact that Sabin had attacked him as a glowing golden bear, was the beginning of what could be termed "A history of hate." The fact that this had been to steal Deans soul, certainly didnt help Deans impression of him, And the fact it was actually beneficial to Dean was besides the point.

Sabins condesending responses, didnt serve to make Dean think any better of him. Dean figured that maybe they had just gotten off to a bad start, and once training commenced, they would get along famously.

Dean was wrong.

"God damnit!" Dean snarled, doing his best not to accidently inhale any of the boiling hot water as he spoke.

"Why the fuck is this necessary?!?! This is not a martial arts movie, I dont need to be under a waterfall! For fucks sakes, If I fall off this rock, I might drown! I already told you I cant swim!"

"It is necessary, becuase you lack disipline!" Sabin Retorted, standing in a dry alcove beneath the waterfall. "If you're going to learn what I wish to teach you, we have to get you to a point you can block out all distractions. Unfortunately, I've seen babies with more disipline."

Which was not completely true. Although Dean hadnt shown the level of Disipline of required for the technique, at the moment, it was better than Sabin had expected, by far. Unfortunately, that wasnt quite good enough.

"Well, fine!" Dean yelled "But I dont see why it had to be *hot* water!"

Before the training, Dean had collected a cup of the water for his tea. He didnt even heat the water, and it still badly burned his tongue. Unfortunately, the water felt as if it had similar results on Deans body.

"Look on the bright side. You're not totally unskilled, and are fairly strong so teaching you, should be easy enough. Anyways, It's alot harder to deal with really hot water, than really cold water. Better for training."

"Fuck you! I feel like my skin is on fire!" Dean shouted.

Sabin Smirked at this comment. "Well, I dont think your going to like this part." Sabin said with a chuckle.

Uh-Oh. "I wont like what?" Dean said, turning to see what Sabin was up to.

"I'm telling you, It's better to just take it like a man."

"Fuck that, and if you're suggesting what I think you are-" Dean turned around to see Sabin.

Who was brandishing a chain whip in his hands. Although Dean could not see his face, he could *feel* him smirking.

"I told you not to turn around." He said simply.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

"What the hell? I thought we were training, not playing out your dominatrix fantasies!" Dean shouted at Sabin.

"I suppose it's a bit of both. It *is* necessary for training, I just happen to enjoy it."

"God damnit, this better be worth it. And I swear, if you start getting pervy on me, I'll kill you."

"Already dead kid." Sabin said, Twirling the whip, before lashing it at stray rocks, breaking them into pieces.

"Then I'll kill you even harder." Dean said turning his back to Sabin, Teeth gritted.

"Hey, no one every said it was easy." Sabin said, raising his arm, whip in hand.

As she meditated, a vision came to her. A vision of a man, an elderly man dressed in a black robe and carrying a staff of knotted wood from the most ancient of trees. The old man smiled evilly, then moved his staff gently, in a wide arc from left to right. As he did so, Tamiko saw the bodies of her teachers, of Jericho, Kelly, and the others lying on the ground each one covered in their own blood.

The elderly man appeared once again, moving his staff as if casting a spell. Her vison then changed to the past. She saw herself sitting on the ground, Gregory's lifeless body next to her, her gi covered in his blood. Hearing the sound of the elderly man's cackeling laughter ringing in her ears, Tamiko was finally able to snap out of the trance.

Holding her right hand over her heart, her hand forming into a fist, she leaned against the wall, her breathing laboured, her body shaking slightly. Finally getting up the strength to stand, she takes a deep breath to try and calm herself, then headed back towards the arena area. A serious look on her face.

Walking towards the Arena, finding that the next match hadn't begun yet, Tamiko could only stop and stare at it. The thoughts of those around her are nothing but a distant noise, humming in the background.

He brought up his right arm up, blocking a painful kick from Tomoe. She was going all out and he was distracted by the various questions that emerged in his mind. Why is Tomoe here? How did she even find me? Doesn't she have school? Wait, is that my name stitched out on her panties? Her kick had intentionally given him a glimpse of them and sure enough his name was stitched out within a heart.

"Caught you looking!" She replied with a grin while he turned blood red, "I didn't mean to!" It was only then that it had been a ploy by her as he had dropped his guard, allowing her get in a solid punch to the chest, forcing him backwards a few feet.

Confused and off guard, Levi couldn't say that this wasn't his proudest moment as Tomoe charged forward. Sending a fist forward, Levi threw up an arm only for it to be revealed to a feint by her as she grabbed his wrist. Still smirking, she yanked him forward, wrapped her arms around him and promptly suplexed him. As his body plopped onto the ground, Tomoe leaned over and giggled, "You loser, you didn't even fight back, what fun is that?"

Chuckling nervously, Levi gave a small 'oof' as Tomoe sat on his stomach, "I swear, you were like a deer in headlights. Heh, you should have seen your face when I caught you looking at my panties." Grabbing his cheeks, she pulled them back, causing him to wince, "That's okay though, since we're going to be married soon enough." Releasing his face and getting off of him, she looked in the direction of the arena, "So, this is where that tournament is taking place?" "You know of the tournament?" Levi asked as he got up.

"Of course, Shu was the one who told me about it. He and Mai should be here in a few days, but I came because I couldn't wait." She answered, spawning a other question from him. "Why did the three of you come here?"

Tomoe simply smiled and answered, "We're here to see who going to fight in the World tournament. I'm part of the Shaolin team."

Just a quick note, I made an error. The Stamina stat is also maxed out at 5.

Also, one a 5 stat is maxed out (Agility, Intelligence, Stamina, and Weapons Mastery/Skill) you gain a new ability/skill.

NOTE: Agility, however, does not gain a bonus unless the Speed Stat is also maxed out. Sorry, that's just how that one goes.

Alexia snapped back to her senses. Easily ignoring the pain in her body, she managed to get up, although she was unsteady and exhausted from her fight.

"That...that fairy half-breed....I won't last a minute with the next guy."

She took a deep breath. "But I did it. Somehow, I won. At least I'll have that to comfort me when I'm beaten."

Doron was a towering young man of 7'7, rippling with muscle. His face, and build, suggested a somewhat less then human ancestry, however. He could could, though, pass as a really homely human.

"You hurt Faris. Faris is Doron's first friend. Now Doron make you go out."

"FIGHT!"

Doron, moving his hands quickly, clappedt hem together so hard they resulted ina Thunder slap that knocked Alexia straight out of the arena. The blow also rendered her unconscious.

"Doron wins!"

Ruman, who was tending the Savage brother's, appeared and took Alexia, then diappared, taking her to the medical quarters the Stadium held.

"The next fight is Doron vs Hunter!"

Hunter, still without his guns, stepped forward, his tail around his waist.

OT: I'll RP as Hunter this time.

Just a quick note, I made an error. The Stamina stat is also maxed out at 5.

Also, one a 5 stat is maxed out (Agility, Intelligence, Stamina, and Weapons Mastery/Skill) you gain a new ability/skill.

NOTE: Agility, however, does not gain a bonus unless the Speed Stat is also maxed out. Sorry, that's just how that one goes.

You know, if I had this information earlier, it probably would've affected my choice on relocating the stats....-.-

What ability do you get with max intelligence?

Also, Regen is the ability you gain with max stamina right?

Clone Alex looked over to the right. "Oh. So you are here. Well, this complicates matters."

OOC: Tired now. RP for me, please. Sorry.

Mourn wasted no time.

"By the Hand of Fate that holds the Heavens, I banish you from this place. Grand Cross!"

A giant cross beam attack struck Clone Alex and plowed him staright through several walls.

As he lay slumped in a wall, Mourn began walking towards him, his silver eyes glinting.

Smiling, "I'm fine, just a little nervious, that's all." Tamiko replied sincerely.

Sorry, until someoen maxes out a Stat, I can't say what the bonus is.

And yes, maxed Stamina is low level regen. More like enhanced healing, really, but still.

OOC: Should Dean be gone the whole arc, and half of the Char building arc. And a ghost takes over his currently vacant body, causing all kinds of fun.....

Or should Dean get his body back in time?

I'm not sure.

I want to kick ass, but I dont want anyone screaming HAX, And the Ghost jacking arc, would be pretty fun.

....Well? Which option do you like best?

Cleric of Hell's Brigade

"Fight!"

Hunter went in low, trying to catch Doron off guard.

No luck.

A hand the size of a frying pan whipped out and struck Hunter, slamming him away.

Chiaki leaned down so she was face to face with Tamiko. If she was wearing a eye patch on her right eye. She'd be looking into both of Tamiko's. Giving hera serious look. Then simply smiled. "Thats fine, its normal for someone to feel that way" she said. Rubbing her head with her right hand.

My opinon?

I kinda like this scene:

"<Insert Slyph Fighter here> vs Dean Gaitlin."

"Dean Gaitlin, if you do not make it down to the ring in 10 seconds you are disqualified."

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."

"Dean Gaitlin is officialy--"

"Ready To Kick Ass!!!" Dean yelled as he bailed over the railing and into the arena. He struck his fighting stance and looked towards his opponent.

"So your the guy who's going to get every bone in his body broken? Good. Lets get it over with."

Jessica: Mind Fuck!

:D

OOC: Cool. Did Jessica and her brother get out of the building before the lockdown, or do you mind writing a scene of them hacking the defenses and escaping?

Cool entrance Cleric.

A man suddenly appeared in the hallway where Clone Alex, Kiran, and teh Queen stood. His staff blazed raw power and his eyes, under the flap of his black hat, shown silver in the dim hallway.

The man wasn't Jricho Mourn anymore.

He was The Iron Cross.

BTC: Xellos saw Jericho Mourn appear through the camera monitor. Even through the screen, the sheer aura of the man made him take a step back.

The look on the clone's face when he saw the teacher brought a smile to his own. He just wished he'd brought popcorn.

OOC:

Coincidently, I'm having some thoughts.

1) Have Dean miss the enitre Second Battle arc, Due to this training to get Shingan. Possibly have him absent for half the Charcter building arc (Aka, right after this dorm fight) due to a Ghost inhabiting his currently souless body. Shinanigans will insue, and everyone would be happy.

2)Have Dean miss *most* of the current arc, and arrive at the last minute to fight whoever the final opponent is, assuming Dibs have not already been called. Shingan in hand, obviously.

And to answer any plot holes:
1)Dean is in another realm spiritually, like the astral realm, or something. His body, is still lying on the beach.

2)Time passes a tad bit differently there, which is why Dean has enough time to gain the Shingan.

3) If you dont like it, tough.

Thats what I asked eariler.

Hunter staggered to his feet, just in time to avoid a punch from Doron. Said punch struck the ground instead, creating a 7 foot wide crater in the ground.

Spinning away, Hunter let lose a new attack.

"Hell Fire!"

A gout of flame leapt from Hunter's mouth, burning Doron.

Sorry, but I can barely keep my eyes open enough to finish Hunter's fight with Doron.

However, presumming Ghost and KamenRaida finish their fights, then yes, the Savage brothers can fight tomorrow.

Iron Cross approached the downed clone, the silver eyes never leaving the body.

"Tell you master that as long as I draw breath, he and his plans shall never come to fruition. And if I ever, EVER, find out that he's trying to mess up Alexia even more then she already is, then by all the stars in the sky, we WILL have words. Understand?"

The clone, barely conscious, nodded.

"Good. Away with you then."

With that, Iron Cross waved his hand over the clone, translocating him back to wherever it was he came from. Jericho, his eyes slowly shifting back to their normal color, turned to Kiran and the queen and bowed his head slightly to them.

OOC: Why, he IS badass!:)

BTC:
Xellos lifted the lockdown, allowing various annoyed specatators and employees to pour out.

He accessed the PA system once again, his tone equal parts jovial and impressed,

"Good show, Mr Mourn. Though if you don't mind, I'd prefer to take someone like him in for interrogation should we have the oppurtunity again. If the school doesn't handle such matters, my company will be happy to."
