------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viewtiful
Rekk (1:45:09 AM):
"ARMED VIRUS!"
Adam bellows out as metallic blades shoot from his body and all
careen towards FGD at once.
Hinoryu8
(1:45:52 AM):
"Again?" Every single one
just hits him and bounces off.
Viewtiful
Rekk (1:55:20 AM):
"It's not even
denting him..." Adam growls. "Is this the power of a
god...?"
Hinoryu8
(1:55:55 AM):
"No. That is incorrect."
Despite the fact that they're fighting, the not-Ryuuji answers
anyway.
Hinoryu8
(1:56:40 AM):
"This level of power... does not
begin to approach the realm of the gods."
Viewtiful
Rekk (1:57:27 AM):
"Hrmph...."
He pulls free his Cleaver disk, and shoots forward, swinging it down
at FGD's shoulder.
Hinoryu8
(1:59:28 AM):
Remember, of course, that his entire body
is superheated. (Don't ask how his pants stay in place.) As his
opponent launches forward, FGD simply thrusts out a palm to meet
Amado's gut.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:01:04 AM):
Adam spins in place,
smacking away FGD's palm with his tail, before using the centrifuge
of the spin to strike at him with the cleaver.
Hinoryu8
(2:03:37 AM):
FGD simply grabs the cleaver and looks at
it. "This was made... with your own flesh, was it not,
dragon?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:04:17 AM):
"It was."
Adam replies. "It was broken in our fight with the Wicked
Monarch, so I repaired it."
Hinoryu8
(2:05:49 AM):
"... Times have changed."
With that, he simply rips the cleaver forward, and thrusts a palm
forward again, at Adamado's face.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:07:06 AM):
Adam shoots backward,
but still can't avoid the force of the attack, spiraling down towards
the ground. "Ngaaah..."
Hinoryu8
(2:07:45 AM):
"In such a short time... is this
what my race has fallen to?" He steps forward, looking at
Adam with contempt.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:08:03 AM):
"Fallen?"
Adam scoffs as he gets back up.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:08:12 AM):
"I am happier
with Lord Amado than I have ever been in my life."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:08:34 AM):
"If you cannot
see the humans for the wise and courageous race they are, then it is
you that has fallen.
Hinoryu8
(2:08:43 AM):
"To make deals with these
oathbreakers is below us. To freely lend them our power, a
sin."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:09:07 AM):
"The ones I call
my comrades have never broken any oath."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:10:06 AM):
My apologies, Lord
Amado...but...I must do this...
Hinoryu8
(2:10:07 AM):
"It matters not." He steps
forward again, the ground where his bare feet touch releasing large
clouds of smoke.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:10:32 AM):
The mark on the back
of Amado's neck glows and begins rapidly spinning as a gust-like
tattoo begins spreading over his body.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:11:39 AM):
Adam discards the
cleaver and holds out a hand as a green katana appears in front of
him. The blade seems to be made from pure wind Duel Energy itself.
"Let's begin again then."
Hinoryu8
(2:12:21 AM):
"... A powerful force of Wind... It
is fortunate I no longer need that." With that, he simply
swings his arm as if he was chopping something, sending a shockwave
from his claws.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:13:14 AM):
Adam swings the
blade, and another shockwave, just as powerful, strikes FGDs and
cancels it out.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:13:46 AM):
After that, Adam
shoots forward with renewed speed, thrusting his blade forward at FGD
with far more force than before.
Hinoryu8
(2:15:09 AM):
FGD escapes the blade... by going up, wind
collecting itself at his feet to propel him.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:15:47 AM):
"Armed
Shadow!" Adam punches the ground, and white blade-esque
chains shoot up from the ground and attempt to ensnare FGD.
Hinoryu8
(2:17:34 AM):
FGD simply crosses his arms, then swings
them wide, causing a barrier of wind to force the chains off their
path.
Rakath
Chaos (2:17:48 AM):
"Mistress,
I don't think this is such a wise idea!" A voice calls out from
a tree, following this a rain of spiritually charged shurikens rain
up into the sky at not-Ryuuji's back.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:18:22 AM):
While a rapidly
whirling katana is flung at his front.
kwikkidus
(2:18:46 AM):
And behind him, a beating of wings and
then a slashing motion.
Hinoryu8
(2:19:37 AM):
Well, that same wind-blast would likely
throw off all projectiles, and the heat his body produces alone would
probably help as a defense against the rest. However, FGD blinks in
surprise at the sudden reinforcemets.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:19:49 AM):
Ichirou smirks as he
lands next to Adam. "Well well Fuji, it looks like we arrived
just in time!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:19:52 AM):
"What does that
make us?"
Y
Ruler of Time (2:19:58 AM):
"Big damn heroes,
sensei!"
Viewtiful Rekk
(2:20:13 AM):
Ichirou grabs his
katana out of the air. "Ain't we just?"
kwikkidus
(2:20:52 AM):
Zaniah falls from the height to land on
her feet, looking at her now-metled scalpel. "Ichirou... I would
not be so sure of a victory so soon."
Hinoryu8
(2:20:55 AM):
If Ryuuji were still alive, he'd be
saddened that someone else used that line before he could.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:21:12 AM):
"Professors..."
Adam is, to say the least, surprised.
Rakath
Chaos (2:21:47 AM):
Dawn floats
down using Azrael as a parachute, the dragon spirit wrapped around
her left arm. Dawn is smiling.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:21:55 AM):
"So...what exactly is going on,
here? I really would like to know why Akihara-kun has gone ballistic
before I have to smash his head in."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:22:17 AM):
Ichirou smirks. "I'd
recognize that Duel Energy anywhere..."
Rakath
Chaos (2:23:49 AM):
"Hardhat-san,
I'm sorry, she insisted to come out here..." Azrael apologizes
to Ichirou, "And I'm sorry that I cannot give more support, but
with only two thirds..." He leaves the end unspoken, as Ichirou
should know what it means.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:24:15 AM):
"Don't worry
about it, Azrael."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:24:24 AM):
"That's the Five
God Dragon."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:24:32 AM):
"Remember for a
second your and Ibris-chan's alignment."
Hinoryu8
(2:25:32 AM):
"... More... and more..."
FGD looks around, specifically at Azrael and Ibris.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:25:48 AM):
Ibris shivers just a
tad, and moves behind Ichirou.
kwikkidus
(2:25:53 AM):
"In short..." Zaniah pulls out
another scalpel from her pouch. "Ryuuji is possessed by a
super-powerful dragon deity."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:25:56 AM):
"Alright
everybody. Here's the long and short of it."
Hinoryu8
(2:26:04 AM):
"... I will offer you two the same
choice this one refused. Leave these humans, and you will
live."
Rakath
Chaos (2:26:10 AM):
"I had
not forgotten, just this mongrel would be no match for us whole!"
Azrael then fires off a purely holy beam out of its mouth at
Not-Ryuuji.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:26:27 AM):
"Ibris would
never leave Ichirou-sama, you bad bad bad spirit!"
Hinoryu8
(2:26:32 AM):
The not-Ryuuji simply sidesteps the
beam.
Hinoryu8
(2:26:53 AM):
"I had hoped some of my species
would choose more wisely. But if your death is what you truly
desire..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:27:03 AM):
Ichirou
smirks.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:27:11 AM):
"Let me let you
in on something, Five God Dragon."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:27:22 AM):
"As it stands, I
am currently more dragon than you are."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:27:44 AM):
"Trying to turn
my comrades against me and failing only proves your
foolishness."
Hinoryu8
(2:28:02 AM):
"More dragon than I? I wonder about
that."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:28:49 AM):
"Alright.
Zaniah. Fuji. Dragon. Here's the plan."
Y
Ruler of Time (2:28:58 AM):
"We have a plan?"
Hinoryu8
(2:29:00 AM):
"I was not trying to turn them
against you. Unlike humans, I have honor. I would not turn comrades
against one another."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:29:03 AM):
"You three
distract him. Dawn and I will strike at the most opportune
time."
Hinoryu8
(2:29:07 AM):
"I offered them a chance to leave
and live."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:29:31 AM):
"Whatever it
is." Ichirou places a hand to his blade. "It was doomed to
fail from the start."
kwikkidus
(2:30:06 AM):
"Distract..? Hmph. We will see if
there is anything left to strike by the time we are
through."
Viewtiful Rekk
(2:30:16 AM):
"Lend me your
wings! Princess of the Dragons!" Wings and a tail shoot from
Ichirou's back and the katana glows brightly.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:31:02 AM):
"Right! Let's go, Amado-kun,
Zanachan-sensei-san!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:31:10 AM):
"..." Adam
nods. "Very well."
Hinoryu8
(2:31:14 AM):
"Then... As a gift to my kind."
The FGD floats higher yet. "I shall show it to
you."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:32:06 AM):
Adam beats his wings
once and shoots up after FGD.
Rakath
Chaos (2:32:11 AM):
"Mistress,
I am sorry we are no-" "Save it, if we were he would
already be dead and I'd have no fun." Dawn readies another three
Shurikens, each one glowing a little. As is the Dragon on her
opposite arm.
Hinoryu8
(2:32:27 AM):
"Those who pray to the gods, those
whose prayers are answered... 'God' and 'mortal' are eternally,
endlessly linked. To betray a god, and to kill one, is the ultimate
sin." Adam is unable to draw near.
kwikkidus
(2:32:28 AM):
"But..." She turns towards
'Ryuuji,' reaching out her hand as orange duel energy coalesced in
her palm. "If you insist... Ichirou-san." Stupid
dragon... using that seal could destroy Amado's psyche!
Hinoryu8
(2:32:52 AM):
FGD hunches over, grabbing his arms, as the
tattoo on his back begins to shift and move.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:33:10 AM):
"...What is
this...?"
kwikkidus
(2:33:55 AM):
"Something we cannot allow to
happen!" The energy turns red as the hellnurse tries to use a
Burst to disrupt the change.
Hinoryu8
(2:34:14 AM):
One of the tattooed heads slowly reaches
Ryuuji's shoulders... And then the head simply rises up, ripping out
of his body, and staring down at the others.
Hinoryu8
(2:34:23 AM):
The other four, one at a time, follow
suit.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:35:15 AM):
"Damn! He's
summoning himself!" A pulsating ball of black energy forms in
Adam's hand. "Armed Punisher!" He flings it upwards at the
dragons.
Hinoryu8
(2:35:44 AM):
"You mortals, who violated this
link, and destroyed Elysium... I shall purge you from this existence
with my own fangs." One of the heads simply eats the
Punisher.
kwikkidus
(2:38:13 AM):
"...Against something like that..."
Zaniah's fists clench a little. No. I will not. "Fuji.
Can you jump that high?"
Hinoryu8
(2:38:28 AM):
Though, those paying close enough attention
to this new form, of Ryuuji with the five heads coming from his
back... May notice that two of the dragon heads seem weaker than the
others.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:38:34 AM):
"Sure!"
kwikkidus
(2:39:52 AM):
"Then what are you waiting for?"
She puts out a hand, and a thin, black spike emerges from it. "See
if you can shove that somewhere inside of it, when you go
up."
Hinoryu8 (2:40:04
AM):
Ryuuji's main body seems to adopt the fetal
position. One might think he was defending, except for the sense of
raw, pure power emanating from it.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:40:55 AM):
"....tch..."
Adam holds out his blade, and it begins vibrating slightly...as if
it's trying to pull something from the wind-element head.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:41:00 AM):
"I'm waiting for him to finish, of
course," Fuji replies with a grin, accepting the
spike.
kwikkidus (2:41:20
AM): "You
were always far too lenient with your enemies."
Hinoryu8
(2:42:28 AM):
All five heads roared, and Ryuuji's body
stood. Pointing its hands downward, energy passed from the heads to
his hands... Forming a ball composed of earth, wind, fire, water, and
dark elental attacks, all of extremely high calibur.
kwikkidus
(2:43:28 AM):
"Go.. Now!"
Hinoryu8
(2:44:13 AM):
Too late- The attack is launched. However,
not to say all is lost: For some reason, the fire and water element
portions of the attack are far far weaker than the rest.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:44:19 AM):
"You might want to move too."
He takes a running start, plants his staff, and uses it to pole-vault
upwards.
Hinoryu8 (2:46:00
AM): The
wind-element head looks at Fuji, and a blast of wind going the other
way strikes him.
kwikkidus
(2:46:14 AM):
"Do not worry about me..." She
begins running from ground zero as well, moving her scalpel to her
mouth and biting down on it as she starts rummaging through her
first-aid bag again.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:46:32 AM):
"Geez...."
Ichirou brings up both hands and fires a two-handed light-element
Burst at the attack, hoping to at least knock it off course.
Rakath
Chaos (2:46:51 AM):
Azrael aids
the old man in his efforts, firing a beam from his mouth.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:47:14 AM):
"Whoa boy!" Fuji's trajectory
reverses in mid-air, sending him somersaulting back to the
ground.
Rakath Chaos (2:47:32
AM): Dawn
however launches her Shuriken at the Water head, then readies another
three.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:47:35 AM):
Adam lands next to
Fuji. "Professor Fuji. We need to coordinate our attacks."
Y
Ruler of Time (2:48:05 AM):
"Not so sure about that...it's got
five heads, after all/
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:48:24 AM):
"....I'll solve
that."
Hinoryu8
(2:48:28 AM):
They did better than simply knock it
off-course. They actually managed to reverse the ball's trajectory,
sending it flying backwards at the FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:48:47 AM):
Adam shoots up,
massive gusts of wind kicking up around him.
Hinoryu8
(2:49:21 AM):
FGD's own blast strikes him, temporarily
obscuring him from vision.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:49:50 AM):
Adam moves right
behind the blast, a small tornado of energy spinning around him as he
points his katana forward like a spear.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:50:42 AM):
"GIGA.....STORM.....BREAKER!"
Adam becomes obsucred from sight by the wind as he screams towards
two of the dragon's heads.
kwikkidus
(2:50:45 AM):
Zaniah slides to a stop next to Fuji,
pulling out a can of medicinal spray, holding it ready and grabbing
her scalpel again. "Next time you jump... bring me with you.
Alright?"
Hinoryu8 (2:51:11
AM): The
shuriken strike the water head, causing it to screech in pain, and
Adam's attack strikes the water and fire heads. Both heads go limp,
and then are simply blown off by the Storm Breaker, landing heavily
on the ground.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:51:30 AM):
"As mighty and awesome my jumping
ability is..." Fuji holds up the spike and his staff. "I've
only got two hands."
Hinoryu8
(2:52:10 AM):
One head melts into water, but not just any
water; A vicious deluge, and the water itself seems slightly acidic.
At the same time, the fire head vanishes, going up in an
inferno.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:52:21 AM):
After the attack
ends, Adam stops, the wind around him dying out. "There are no
longer five heads." He says simply.
Rakath
Chaos (2:52:24 AM):
"Four
to go." Dawn says coldly, still smiling, she's enjoying
this.
Hinoryu8
(2:52:44 AM):
And then... FGD is consumed by its own
attack, inside the giant ball formed of its own energies.
kwikkidus
(2:53:01 AM):
"I see..." She looks up at the
dragon, before nodding resolutely. "Then do not worry. I will
support from here... assuming we even need it at this
point."
Hinoryu8
(2:53:34 AM):
There is a terrible silence. Then, a
terrible scream, unlike anything heard on Earth, that echoes, far
louder than should be remotely possible. Then, there is a terrible
silence.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:53:35 AM):
"Alright....I
think it's time we tag in."
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:53:39 AM):
"Dawn-chan, are
you ready?"
Rakath
Chaos (2:53:59 AM):
Dawn is
still smiling, she's ready, she has that look her mom has when she
wants to fight.
Hinoryu8
(2:54:11 AM):
The blast simply explodes, leaving Ryuuji,
without any of the dragon heads, floating, and smoking, looking limp
in the air.
Y
Ruler of Time (2:54:30 AM):
"...Well that was fast." Fuji
sounds...disappointed?
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:54:43 AM):
"...."
Amado spins around, the tattoo slowly retracting.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:54:56 AM):
"Ryuuji-bastard.
Is that you?!" He flies over to him.
kwikkidus
(2:55:10 AM):
"It was little more than a
warm-up.."
Hinoryu8 (2:56:01
AM): Once
Amado gets close, the tattoos on his back seem different. Rather than
the black heads... Well, two are still black. But one is green,
another brown, and another purple. And he looks strangely...
unhurt.
Rakath
Chaos (2:56:18 AM):
Dawn growls,
"Don't rush in there, he might not be disabled yet!" Amado
is in between her and Ryuuji, but she doesn't attack.
Hinoryu8
(2:57:23 AM):
Then the tattoo shifts again. Ryuuji's back
seems to explode, and two huge wings appear. He turns upright, and it
becomes clear: He was not consumed by the attack. He consumed
it.
Viewtiful
Rekk (2:57:41 AM):
"...ryuu...ji?"
Hinoryu8
(2:59:27 AM):
In an instant, FGD is next to Amado,
grabbing his face with one of his super-heated hands.
Hinoryu8
(3:00:10 AM):
Then, he simply spins, and flings Amado at
the ground. Hard. If Amado was a normal person, he would be a fine
paste.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:01:07 AM):
"...Well that changes things!"
Fuji is EXCITED!
Viewtiful Rekk
(3:01:09 AM):
"Ngaahk!"
And Amado flies into the ground. And hits. Hard. Crater.
Rakath
Chaos (3:01:35 AM):
Azrael
launches a beam out of its mouth at the Dragon's wings as soon as
Amado is flung clear of his sightlines.
kwikkidus
(3:01:40 AM):
"Amado!" And before anyone can
do a damn thing, the hellnurse is there patching him up.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:01:41 AM):
"That's our
cue." And Ichirou is shooting into the sky at FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:02:29 AM):
"I'm...fine."
Amado grunts. Nearly all of his armor is cracked, if not heavily
damaged. His left arm is hanging rather limply.
Rakath
Chaos (3:02:45 AM):
Dawn follows
her father with Azrael still on her arm, her knife in her other hand,
its glowing with a blinding white light.
Hinoryu8
(3:03:34 AM):
FGD shoots forward as well, raising a fist,
and bringing it to Ichirou's face unless he is damn nimble.
kwikkidus
(3:03:57 AM):
"Do not lie to me." She grabs
a hold of his left arm, healing it as quickly as she can. "Adam
was using the seal while you were out."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:04:15 AM):
Ichirou ducks his
head....and FGD strikes the hat. It doesn't even dent.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:04:49 AM):
Ichirou grins and
weaves past FGDs arm, brings his katana forward in a slashing
motion.
Rakath
Chaos (3:05:15 AM):
From the
opposite direction, making a proper X-Slash attack, Dawn flies past
with a similar slashing motion with her knife.
Hinoryu8
(3:08:12 AM):
"You are ignorant."
Ichirou's blade simply bounces off of him.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:10:00 AM):
"...I guess
something made from your own kind wouldn't be able to hurt
you."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:10:22 AM):
Ichirou shrugs and
tosses the katana over his shoulder, and spins around, smacking FGD
in the jaw with his tail.
Hinoryu8
(3:11:12 AM):
"It is a pact forged so deep, it
runs in the very blood of dragons." The tail does nothing.
"Those who are dragons will not do me harm."
Hinoryu8
(3:11:32 AM):
He simply grabs the tail and moves Ichiro
into Dawn's path.
kwikkidus
(3:11:37 AM):
"...There. Now, Amado..." She
pants for a moment, before shaking her head. "Please, do not get
involved any further. It would be idiotic to die here."
Y
Ruler of Time (3:11:56 AM):
"No problem!" Fuji has used
his ability to jump good to pop up next to the dragon. He swings his
staff.
Rakath Chaos (3:12:18
AM): Dawn
spins, stops, and a Sanctuary spell is mere inches from Ichirou's
body, blocking between them as Dawn's attack cancels itself
out.
Hinoryu8
(3:12:47 AM):
Fuji, something interesting to note about
wings: They can hit hard, too. There's one coming at you very hard
right now.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:12:57 AM):
"Nrgh...I can
still fight!" Amado starts to get up.
Hinoryu8
(3:13:11 AM):
And while that's happening, FGD simply
throws Ichiro at Dawn.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:13:19 AM):
Dragon, something interesting to note
about wings: They're big. And Fuji still has Zaniah's spike in his
free hand.
kwikkidus (3:13:39
AM):
"Being able to fight and being able
to win are two completely separate things. Remember that." She
looks up at the dragon. "There may be no choice..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:13:47 AM):
Ichirou goes into a
wingbeat, moving past Dawn entirely. "He's a bit tenacious..."
Y
Ruler of Time (3:14:02 AM):
Momentum means the wing will still be
knocking him for a loop, but that spike should be piercing through
the wing in the process.
Rakath
Chaos (3:14:27 AM):
Dawn
wingbeats down to the ground, "He's annoying me."
Hinoryu8
(3:16:00 AM):
Once the spike is in the wing, FGD folds
them, hopefully ripping the spike out of Fuji's hand, and bringing it
to himself.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:16:34 AM):
Fuji seriously hopes that doesn't
matter, and Zaniah gave the object some special property to make all
that worthwhile.
Y Ruler of Time
(3:16:47 AM):
As he crashes into the ground and leaves
a person-shaped indent in it.
Hinoryu8
(3:16:53 AM):
"What the hell
are you doing, Amado?!" Yet another new person has shown up to
join the brawl.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:17:18 AM):
Amado grimaces.
"....Reiko?! What the FUCK are you doing here?!"
kwikkidus
(3:17:18 AM):
Zaniah looks up as Fuji hits the ground.
"Ahh... Fuji! Did you hit him?"
Y
Ruler of Time (3:17:37 AM):
A single hand pops out of the ground
giving a thumbs-up.
Hinoryu8
(3:17:49 AM):
"Watching you
get your ass kicked, looks like!"
kwikkidus
(3:18:30 AM):
"Good... that virus spike should
cut off his energy before too long, and then..."
Hinoryu8
(3:20:07 AM):
"Fly!" With
that, Reiko suddenly sprouts wings, and floats up a few feet, as her
hands and feet shift into talons. "Get out of here before you
get hurt worse, Amado!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:20:16 AM):
"...."
Rakath
Chaos (3:20:17 AM):
"Mistress,
what should we do?" The small dragon on her arm asks, Dawn
growls and winks to the thing. "Oh... leave it to me mistress."
With that the dragon vanishes.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:20:20 AM):
"SINCE WHEN
COULD YOU DO THAT?!"
Hinoryu8
(3:20:31 AM):
The dragon simply grabs the spike and rips
it out of his wings, and looks around.
Rakath
Chaos (3:21:09 AM):
The Dragon
appears above the two in the air and fires a beam of holy energy
at... Ichirou's head?
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:22:01 AM):
The blast smacks his
hat....and bounces off, flying at FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:22:07 AM):
"Hey! Don't use
me as a ricochet!"
Rakath
Chaos (3:22:40 AM):
"Sorry,
it was Mistress's idea!"
Hinoryu8
(3:23:00 AM):
FGD shields itself with its wings, the
blasts burning them but not doing too much worse.
Rakath
Chaos (3:23:25 AM):
The Dragon
flies back over to Dawn, and gives her a V for Victory with its tiny
clawed hand.
Hinoryu8
(3:23:32 AM):
Reiko, while this is
happening, turns away from Amado and darts upwards.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:23:41 AM):
"Dammit! You're
not upstaging me!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:23:50 AM):
Amado shoots up after
her, the tattoo slowly covering him again.
kwikkidus
(3:24:07 AM):
"Amado! Your seal!" Facepalm.
"Why do I even bother..."
Hinoryu8
(3:24:32 AM):
"Prey Wind!"
Reiko swipes her claws, firing razor-sharp shockwaves at FGD... Who
is completely unaffected.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:24:34 AM):
Fuji pulls himself out of the ground.
"...Oh no..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:24:39 AM):
The katana appears in
his hands again. "Take this, you five-headed bastard!"
Amado yells at him, and swings the blade up at him in upward
slash.
kwikkidus
(3:25:08 AM):
"Fuji... if this continues on much
longer, you may see a side of me you never have before. If the need
arises, do not hesitate to kill me. Understood?
Hinoryu8
(3:25:17 AM):
FGD swings an arm, smashing Amado back to
the ground.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:25:33 AM):
"Eh?"
kwikkidus
(3:25:39 AM):
"Do you understand?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:25:49 AM):
Amado lets out a cry
as he shoots downwards. "Dammit, I'm not done yet...!" He
creates another Armed Punisher in his hand and launches it.
Hinoryu8
(3:26:24 AM):
FGD holds out a single hand and catches the
Armed Punisher... then crushes it. He then flies towards Amado, at
high speeds, the Virus spike still in hand.
Rakath
Chaos (3:27:00 AM):
Dawn growls
and wingbeats. She appears over Reiko and kicks off the girls head to
do another glowing blade strike for the Not-Ryuuji's left
wing.
Hinoryu8
(3:27:12 AM):
Reiko, suddenly,
isn't there.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:27:32 AM):
"Shit...."
Amado tries to change his course, but before he can do anything, hits
the ground again.
Hinoryu8
(3:28:09 AM):
The FGD brings the virus spike forwards,
with clear intent to impale Amado on it and stake him to the
ground... until Reiko suddenly appears in his path, being impaled
through the stomach in his place.
kwikkidus
(3:28:41 AM):
Not quite as hard, this time, as a
vaguely purple cushion would stop him from hitting the ground itself.
Courtesy of the hellnurse, of course. "Combination... Mirror
Sanctuary."
Viewtiful Rekk
(3:29:03 AM):
Amado stares up in
abject horror at his sister as she's run through by the attack that
was meant for him.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:29:08 AM):
"...Reiko....why....?!"
Hinoryu8
(3:29:34 AM):
Before FGD can react,
Reiko reaches out and grabs FGD by the arm, preventing it from
letting go. "... idiots...! Attack it now...!"
Hinoryu8
(3:29:55 AM):
Her talon-hands, of
course, being burned extra-crispy by this.
Rakath
Chaos (3:29:59 AM):
Dawn doesn't
have to be told twice. Three Shurikens and a beam from Azrael comin'
at FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:30:25 AM):
Not being need to
told twice, Ichirou shoots towards FGD, energy accumulating around
his body like a human battering ram.
kwikkidus
(3:30:51 AM):
With a gesture Amado's cushion
disappears, and with another a violet-energy brick is coming at FGD's
head.
Y Ruler of Time (3:31:15
AM):
"Ghh..." Fuji's eyes narrow,
as red energy begins forming around his hands. "Eastern Spirit
Style..." He runs towards the dragon as well.
Hinoryu8
(3:31:45 AM):
FGD, oddly, doesn't even seem to be trying
to escape. He simply is watching Reiko's hand, with an unreadable
expression.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:32:40 AM):
"...stupid
idiot!" Another Armed Punisher forms in Amado's good hand, and
he goes around Reiko, ramming it into FGD's gut.
Hinoryu8
(3:33:00 AM):
Even as the beams,
the shuriken, and the brick hit, she doesn't let go. It takes
Ichiro's attack to knock FGD flying, ripping him out of her claws...
and with a nasty crunch in the process that didn't sound good for her
bones.
Hinoryu8
(3:33:11 AM):
FGD, meanwhile, is being hammered by attack
after attack.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:33:31 AM):
"Tiger Claw Slash!" all
of the energy gathers into four long blades extending from one hand,
and chases after the dragon to slash at it.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:33:56 AM):
Amado grabs Reiko as
she drops. Tears are already in his eyes as he looks down at her.
"You...stupid idiot! Why did you do that?!"
Rakath
Chaos (3:34:32 AM):
Dawn and
Azrael don't stop, another nine shurikens (thrown three at a time,
and four more Aura Rays from Azrael at the Dragon as it goes
flying.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:34:43 AM):
Without the students
in danger, Ichirou thrusts a hand forward as a blue orb of energy
forms in his hand. Within a moment, it turns bright gold, and a Burst
volley is fired at FGD.
Hinoryu8
(3:34:50 AM):
"Because... you
were about to die... idiot..." The virus spike in her gut is
starting to dissolve.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:35:28 AM):
"I...I wouldn't
die that easily...!"
Hinoryu8
(3:35:30 AM):
Attack and again are striking. FGD seems to
be pummeled into a smoke cloud. But again, the oddest thing is
happening: He's making no attempt to dodge.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:35:38 AM):
He turns to Zaniah,
and runs towards her. "NURSE!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:36:13 AM):
After noticing that
the dragon god is making no efforts to evade, Ichirou stops.
"...Everyone. Wait.
Y
Ruler of Time (3:36:40 AM):
"We have to strike now,
Ichirou-sensei, while it's not responding!"
kwikkidus
(3:37:10 AM):
"Ah?" she runs towards Reiko.
"I will be right there!"
Rakath
Chaos (3:37:11 AM):
"Hardhat-san?"
Azrael questions. Dawn doesn't question and just stops, three more
Shurikens already readied to throw off at the Dragon.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:37:34 AM):
"If it's making
no efforts to dodge, that means it doesn't matter if we don't attack,
Fuji."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:38:18 AM):
Amado is trying to
hide the fact that he's crying. He's not succeeding.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:38:23 AM):
"She...she got
stabbed by that spike thing..."
Hinoryu8
(3:38:48 AM):
FGD stands up, as the smoke cloud clears.
He looks more or less completely unharmed for the attacks. Yet all he
does again is watch Reiko and Amado.
Rakath
Chaos (3:38:49 AM):
Dawn growls,
she seems upset at this turn of events.
kwikkidus
(3:39:02 AM):
"That... oh." She walks right
over to it, and with a wave of her hand, the spike comes back to her.
...Wait, that starts the bleeding. Immediately she puts both her
hands on the girl's stomach, focusing her energy there.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:40:05 AM):
"C-can you help
her...?"
Hinoryu8
(3:40:11 AM):
"... That was... an act of
kin."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:40:27 AM):
"....ah."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:40:35 AM):
Ichirou glances back.
"...Yes. The two are siblings."
kwikkidus
(3:40:40 AM):
In this case... I am already losing
focus. I should have trained more...! "I will... I will not
lose this patient!"
Hinoryu8
(3:41:04 AM):
"... Such a concept..."
Hinoryu8
(3:41:08 AM):
FGD shakes its head.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:41:37 AM):
"Love is usually
an odd concept."
Hinoryu8
(3:41:52 AM):
"... Remove those two from our
fighting ground."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:42:06 AM):
"...Is that
compassion?"
Hinoryu8
(3:42:11 AM):
"That is honor."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:42:17 AM):
Ichirou
smirks.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:42:24 AM):
"Zaniah. Take
those two from here. Now."
kwikkidus
(3:42:57 AM):
"Right now I am unable to..."
Her eyes open fully, as she focuses more of her energy on the wound.
"This is not as simple as you would think!"
Hinoryu8
(3:43:02 AM):
"... Honor... and perhaps, a
lingering memory."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:43:47 AM):
"...Fine."
Ichirou waves his arm widely. A small half-spherical Sanctuary
barrier surrounds them.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:44:00 AM):
"That probably
won't hold against very much, so run as soon as you can."
Hinoryu8
(3:44:10 AM):
The FGD seems to be looking at Amado
curiously.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:44:19 AM):
"Alright. Fuji!
Let's do 'that'!"
Hinoryu8
(3:44:28 AM):
"Hold."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:44:33 AM):
"...what?"
kwikkidus
(3:45:07 AM):
"I... know..." Her
stomach... it seems to have punctured the livier, and certainly the
intestinal tract... not to mention damage to other areas... "Amado...
stop crying."
Viewtiful Rekk
(3:45:36 AM):
"I...I...it's
not like I'm trying to!"
Rakath
Chaos (3:46:06 AM):
Dawn nods to
her Dragon. "Mistress, you sure?" She nods again.
kwikkidus
(3:46:15 AM):
"You will never be able to help
someone like myself... if you cannot even help your sister by being
strong."
Hinoryu8 (3:46:20
AM): "...
The one who was spared my attack, by the sacrifice of the other. He
was... often with this one?" When he says 'this one', he
points a thumb at himself, evidently referring to Ryuuji.
Rakath
Chaos (3:46:35 AM):
The Dragon
flies over and perches on Ichirou's arm.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:46:39 AM):
"....Akihara?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:46:47 AM):
"Yes. They're
best friends."
Hinoryu8
(3:47:28 AM):
"..." FGD examines its
claws, and flexes them. He then turned to Amado.
Hinoryu8
(3:48:39 AM):
"The one you called 'friend'...
Never existed. And now, it can never return."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:48:58 AM):
"...sh-shut the
fuck up!" Amado snaps, trying to wipe the tears away.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:49:10 AM):
"Ryuuji's not
dead! You can't get rid of that idiot that easily!"
Hinoryu8
(3:49:16 AM):
"Those here will die... But you
will be spared. Nurture that. And come at me, when you have become
stronger."
Hinoryu8
(3:50:01 AM):
"The power of your revenge for a
friend, and a species. The power of my revenge, for being betrayed
and slain. We will see then, which is stronger."
Y
Ruler of Time (3:50:17 AM):
"..."
Y
Ruler of Time (3:50:23 AM):
"Can we do 'that' now,
sensei?"
Viewtiful Rekk
(3:50:28 AM):
"...."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:50:40 AM):
Amado grits his
teeth.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:50:42 AM):
"Fine."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:50:46 AM):
"I'll fight
you."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:50:52 AM):
"But it's not
going to be for revenge."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:50:59 AM):
Amado points a single
finger at FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:51:12 AM):
"I swear on my
very soul...that I'll save Ryuuji!"
Hinoryu8
(3:51:22 AM):
"You understand nothing."
Hinoryu8
(3:51:37 AM):
"This... 'Ryuuji'. There never was
such a person."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:52:25 AM):
"YOU understand
nothing, you stupid fuck!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:52:51 AM):
"I fought
Ryuuji! I dueled him! I laughed with him! He's my friend! He's my
comrade! And I KNOW he existed!"
Hinoryu8
(3:53:39 AM):
"That human which you called
'Ryuuji'... is nothing more than another aspect of myself."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:54:07 AM):
"Then I'll beat
you down until you're such a small aspect, you won't be able to shove
him away again!"
Hinoryu8
(3:54:37 AM):
"That creation called 'Ryuuji' has
already been consumed completely. There is nothing left."
Hinoryu8
(3:55:09 AM):
"Now leave. Your left arm cannot
fight. To fight a crippled enemy is not honorable."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:56:05 AM):
"...I'm not
going anywhere without my sister."
Hinoryu8
(3:56:42 AM):
"..." With that, FGD
simply turns, and places his back towards the barrier, to ensure none
of his stray attacks would take it down.
Hinoryu8
(3:57:22 AM):
"I rudely interrupted us. I
apologize." He simply comments to Ichirou.
kwikkidus
(3:58:17 AM):
I won't... and I cannot turn back
now.... If she is bleeding and broken... then I will give all that I
am to fix it! That was my promise... Zaniah snarls, as the
outer wounds finally start to close.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:58:20 AM):
"Can't say I
mind. It showed me a rather interesting side of you."
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:58:29 AM):
"Now. Let's go
Fuji!"
Y
Ruler of Time (3:58:38 AM):
"Right!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:58:44 AM):
Ichirou pulls back a
fist that becomes coated in blue energy, which rapidly turns
red.
Viewtiful
Rekk (3:58:49 AM):
"FALCON
PUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!"
Y
Ruler of Time (3:59:24 AM):
Fuji runs, and falls into a slide, with
one foot extended, as his leg erupts in flames. "FALCON
KIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!"
kwikkidus
(4:01:04 AM):
A few moments later the light fades, and
she pants for breath. "Amado... Your sister... is going to
be..." suddenly her gaze seemed to fall out of focus as she
falls forward, onto the newly healed little girl.
Hinoryu8
(4:01:07 AM):
FGD simply glanced around. Not enough room
to dodge- They'd fly past and hit the barrier, which FGD would not
do. Instead, he simply reached forward and caught the punch in one
hand.
Hinoryu8
(4:01:24 AM):
At the same time, he twisted, kicking
Fuji's leg off-course, away from the barrier.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:01:30 AM):
"N-Nurse!"
Amado gapes as she hits the ground.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:01:33 AM):
"Gwaaa!"
Hinoryu8
(4:01:56 AM):
Reiko, by this point,
passed out as well, from blood loss and pain.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:02:10 AM):
"Hrngh!"
Ichirou plants a foot into the ground and grabs FGD with his free
hand, before attempting to toss him upwards.
Rakath
Chaos (4:02:55 AM):
Dawn growls
knowing how useless she would be right now in this fight, "Hellnurse,
can the harpy be moved now?"
Hinoryu8
(4:03:04 AM):
FGD does better: As Ichiro throws him, he
jumps, getting extra distance on that toss, before spinning in midair
and firing a blast of wind.
kwikkidus
(4:03:08 AM):
Did I... try to do too much again...?
Her eyes slowly lull closed, and she begins breathing deeply.
Viewtiful Rekk
(4:04:01 AM):
"Dawn!
Tsukayama!" He punches the barrier. It shatters.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:04:17 AM):
"Move them,
now!" He grabs his sword from the ground, and shoots up after
FGD.
Rakath
Chaos (4:04:46 AM):
Dawn nods,
waves a hand over her belt, and grabs Reiko and vanishes in a
wingbeat.
Viewtiful Rekk
(4:05:55 AM):
"Y-yeah!"
Amado picks up the nurse. His tattoo retracts, but his armor stays as
he takes flight again, towards the infirmary.
Hinoryu8
(4:06:04 AM):
FGD looks around, quickly taking the
island's geography into account.
Hinoryu8
(4:08:40 AM):
"... Those sleeping in those
structures... How many of them are able to fight?" FGD
lunges forward, ripping at Ichirou's gut with his claws.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:08:53 AM):
A cold gust of wind blows across the area...and
a black-coated figure appears in front of the flying Amado.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:08:58 AM):
"...A couple
dozen, at most."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:09:12 AM):
Ichirou weaves out of
the claw's way, and swings his sword down at FGD.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:09:19 AM):
"Rest assured.
I'M the strongest one on the island."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:09:30 AM):
"...d-dad?!"
Y
Ruler of Time (4:09:45 AM):
Wordlessly, Seta grabs Amado's left arm
and holds it up to inspect it.
Hinoryu8
(4:09:59 AM):
"Then when you are dead, I will
awaken those that can fight." The sword bounces off again,
and FGD kicks him.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:11:27 AM):
He sighs. "Broken...but you'll be
fine..." Instinctively, he adds on the inevitable question. "Do
you know where your sister is?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:11:38 AM):
"...."
Amado looks away. "No."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:11:46 AM):
He tries to go around
him and continue on his way.
Rakath
Chaos (4:12:05 AM):
"Hardhat-san,"
Azrael starts, "Allow my aid, but don't tell Master about this.
She would be cross if anyone but Mistress used this ability."
The Dragon causes the sword to glow.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:12:13 AM):
Ichirou blocks the
leg with his own. "Except, I won't die!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:12:22 AM):
Ichirou glances to
Azrael. "Heh....go all-out, Azrael!"
Y
Ruler of Time (4:12:59 AM):
Seta doesn't release his grip on Amado's
arm. "...Terrible liar. Where is Reiko?"
Hinoryu8
(4:13:34 AM):
"Even the Gods of the Royal
bloodline... Even they could not have killed me, if they had fought
honorably. What makes you think you can?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:14:19 AM):
"...I don't
know! Let me go! I need to get her to the infirmary!"
Rakath
Chaos (4:14:39 AM):
Dawn appears
behind Seta, "Tsukayama, if she's too heavy for you I'll carry
her."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:14:48 AM):
Amado
gapes.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:14:51 AM):
"Where's
Reiko!?"
Rakath
Chaos (4:15:06 AM):
Dawn looks a
little winded, "I already got her to the infirmary."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:15:16 AM):
Seta whirls on Dawn. "What?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:15:22 AM):
"...fuck."
Rakath
Chaos (4:16:50 AM):
Azrael keeps
making the sword brighter, "With Mistress I must be careful, she
might get mad if I help too much, with you..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:17:16 AM):
"Don't worry.
I'll take all the energy I can get."
Rakath
Chaos (4:17:23 AM):
"I
don't have to hold back!" The sword erupts in white flames. "Now
then, my power should be more than a mere annoyance for that mongrel
god."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:18:18 AM):
Ichirou grins down at
FGD as his own energy starts mixing in with Azrael's. He wordlessly
shoots forward, bring a leg down on the dragon god.
Rakath
Chaos (4:23:00 AM):
"She's
in the infirmary, are you deaf?" Dawn says to Seta. (Since I
waited for Nick to come back.) "So should these two."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:23:34 AM):
"..." Seta's body
begins...dissolving.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:23:53 AM):
"...what
the..."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:24:00 AM):
As it does, black crows spawn from the
mass he is becoming, and fly outwards.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:24:17 AM):
"...great. My
sister was nearly murdered, and my dad's an Uchiha."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:24:28 AM):
"This has been a
great day." He starts flying towards the infirmary again.
Rakath
Chaos (4:26:00 AM):
Dawn simply
follows Amado using wingbeats, silently.
Hinoryu8
(4:30:14 AM):
"Betrayer." With that,
completely ignoring the kick, FGD flies at Ichirou, and viciously
slashes at Azrael's wings, trying to detach him from Ichirou so he
can savage them both.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:31:10 AM):
Ichirou pulls back
one of his arm, and with the other, swings the sword down at FGD's
chest.
Rakath
Chaos (4:31:58 AM):
"Betrayer!?
I'll have you know, only two people have my devotion and I betray
neither!" He fires off a beam from his mouth at the dragon.
Rakath
Chaos (4:32:00 AM):
"Although,
I'm certain Master would be cross at me here... but if she were here,
I would gladly perch on her and she would have my power."
Hinoryu8
(4:32:18 AM):
FGD doesn't even try to dodge it. It takes
the hit, in order to do nothing but focus all its assault on
destroying Azrael.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:33:06 AM):
Seeing this, Ichirou
flies backwards from FGD, trying to keep Azrael out of
reach.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:33:09 AM):
"Azrael. Get
off."
Rakath
Chaos (4:33:31 AM):
"But...
without me I can't..." Azrael doesn't wanna say what would
happen if he detaches.
Hinoryu8
(4:33:32 AM):
FGD is now sporting a great big slash/burn
wound across his chest.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:34:03 AM):
"Get off and go
back to Dawn. You're in danger here."
Rakath
Chaos (4:34:30 AM):
"If you
are sure." He detaches, the white flames grow weaker on
Ichirou's sword.
Rakath
Chaos (4:34:50 AM):
And keep
getting weaker the further Azrael gets. Once he's gone the fire is
out, the blade returns to normal.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:34:53 AM):
Ichirou opens his
mouth and begins speaking. The words aren't of any human language,
but FGD and Azrael should recognize them.
Hinoryu8
(4:35:24 AM):
"Even to know our
tongue..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:35:32 AM):
"Blood of the
dragons...flow through my veins...." Ichirou's eyes suddenly
become slits, and his fingers turn to claws.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:36:39 AM):
...And a tremendous force of wind blasts
between the Five-God Dragon and Ichirou.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:36:45 AM):
"I was taught
this tongue by someone who was very important to me. It's the proof
that I have been accepted by the dragons."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:37:26 AM):
"....Seta."
Hinoryu8
(4:37:44 AM):
"..." FGD seems to
think.
Hinoryu8
(4:38:20 AM):
"You, who were accepted by dragons.
To kill you would be shameful. Yet you would not allow me to continue
my undertaking if I let you live."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:38:25 AM):
Once he's gotten
Zaniah to a bed, Amado looks around. "...I'm going back."
He says, and walks to a window.
Rakath
Chaos (4:38:45 AM):
Dawn
wingbeats into his path, "No you aren't, you're staying
here."
kwikkidus
(4:38:47 AM):
Zaniah starts to curl up a bit in the
bed, muttering something akin to gibberish consisting mostly of the
words "Go away" and "No."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:39:02 AM):
"The dragons
accepted me. But I am still a human. My first priority is always to
protect my race. BOTH of them."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:39:18 AM):
"Get out of my
way." Amado growls.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:39:57 AM):
Enough with the dialog. Seta appears
from the sky with dual tanto in hand, and dive-bombs into the
dragon.
Hinoryu8 (4:40:21
AM): "...
My race chose wisely, to accept one such as you." He dodges
to the side, letting Seta sail past.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:40:32 AM):
Ichirou snorts. "I
tried that already, Seta."
Rakath
Chaos (4:40:33 AM):
"Two
options." Dawn states, "One, you help your sister,
yourself, and the nurse, as you probably know more about wound
healing than I do."
Rakath
Chaos (4:40:55 AM):
"Two.
You try to leave, I shatter your good arm, beat you into
unconsciousness, and go find someone to tend you and the nurse's
wounds."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:41:21 AM):
Dirt explodes into the air as Seta
plants a foot, and bursts right back to the dragon in a
heartbeat.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:41:25
AM):
"...Fine. I'll
help." Amado tries to make it not seem like the threat is what
convinced him to stay.
Hinoryu8
(4:41:51 AM):
"But... These shortsighted,
oathbreaking humans... This race must be destroyed."
Rakath
Chaos (4:42:00 AM):
"Good,
as I have no idea how to tend wounds... mother never taught me about
that..." Dawn says pointing out a flaw in her early
training.
Hinoryu8
(4:42:02 AM):
He spins, and kicks at Seta.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:42:35 AM):
"I will not
let that happen, as long as I am able to draw breath."
Ichirou darts forward, closing the distance between him and FGD in
mere seconds.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:42:59 AM):
He then begins wildly
slashing at him with the sword with one hand, and his claws with the
other.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:43:27 AM):
"...my mom. She
knows a lot about treating wounds and stuff."
Rakath
Chaos (4:43:47 AM):
Dawn nods,
"She'd be staying in the guest housing, yes?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:43:55 AM):
"Yeah. Go get
her!"
kwikkidus
(4:43:55 AM):
"nhh..." And Zaniah is still
tossing and turning. "stop talking..."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:43:58 AM):
Seta whirls, wind surging out from his
body. All energy is directed away from him, along with a countless
number of strikes from his blades.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:44:07 AM):
"..." Amado
turns and looks at Zaniah. "...Nurse?"
Hinoryu8
(4:44:16 AM):
"Then I regret that you must no
longer draw breath." Ichiro, that Falcon Punch you did?
Imagine it with wind instead of fire, and much, much harder. Also
aimed at you.
Rakath
Chaos (4:44:51 AM):
Azrael flies
up to the window. Dawn
turns, whispers to it. The dragon flies off again.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:44:54 AM):
Ichirou is hit
dead-on, and flies back, his katana flying out of his hand.
kwikkidus
(4:45:14 AM):
"no... i cannot... you will not..."
she starts curling up into a little ball.
Hinoryu8
(4:45:38 AM):
He turns to Seta, countering the wind with
his own, and charges in.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:46:01 AM):
He shoots back in
front of FGD in an instant, attempting to grab him...and then fly
straight into the ground.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:46:15 AM):
"N-nurse!"
Amado walks over to her, and puts a hand on her.
Hinoryu8
(4:46:45 AM):
FGD is grabbed, and dragged... But the
earth seems to open up in front of him, and Ichirou's hand should be
extremely burned.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:47:36 AM):
Seta allows the fight to momentarily be
taken away from him...as his long coat opens into a pair of large,
black, feathery wings.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:47:39 AM):
Ichirou throws FGD
downwards at the ground, before starting to float back up himself,
breathing heavily.
kwikkidus
(4:47:44 AM):
Her eyes snap suddenly open, and in an
instant a scalpel is at Amado's neck. "DO NOT TOUCH ME!!" A
heartbeat later, and she takes it away. "...Oh... It is simply
you."
Y Ruler of Time
(4:47:46 AM):
"Eclipse the Sky, Dark
Simorgh."
Viewtiful Rekk
(4:48:06 AM):
"Seta...."
He snarls in Japanese. "I can't keep this up much longer..."
He says, a hand over his heart.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:48:36 AM):
"...y-yeah, it
is..."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:48:40 AM):
"Understood."
Hinoryu8
(4:51:04 AM):
"'Dark' Simorgh...?"
Hinoryu8
(4:51:25 AM):
"The holy bird has been corrupted?"
Rakath
Chaos (4:49:35 AM):
"Do not
harm him, he's not being dumb right now..." Dawn idly says, her
belt deactivated and she's still a bit winded.
kwikkidus
(4:49:43 AM):
Her breathing is still notably
shaken, as she puts her weapon back in her pouch. "My
apologies... I do not... rest easily."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:48:52 AM):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hinoryu8
(4:48:57 AM):
... endline?
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:48:58 AM):
HAPPY FUCKING
BIRTHDAY, NICK.
Hinoryu8
(4:49:00 AM):
...
Hinoryu8
(4:49:07 AM):
WHAT HE SAID
Rakath
Chaos (4:49:12 AM):
Ditto...
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:49:02 AM):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rakath
Chaos (4:50:57 AM):
"I sent
Azrael to get the pairs mother in case you didn't wake." Dawn
states simply, "As otherwise all care would be left to him..."
she points at Amado.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:51:22 AM):
Door is kicked
open....now.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:51:27 AM):
"WHAT THE HELL
IS GOIN' ON HERE?!"
Rakath
Chaos (4:52:17 AM):
Azrael flies
in a bit less dramatically and curls up on Dawn's shoulder. His wings
shrinking to a more indoor size.
kwikkidus
(4:52:31 AM):
"Omasu-san... There was a battle...
My apologies, I just woke back up..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:52:45 AM):
"...you were
asleep?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:52:59 AM):
Omasu immediately
walks over to her, and is checking her over. "What happened. Are
you alright?"
Rakath
Chaos (4:53:25 AM):
"She
overdid it healing the Harpy over there." Dawn says bluntly...
aren't kids precious.
kwikkidus
(4:53:45 AM):
"Nothing more or less than usual...
I just overexerted myelf and had to... take a short nap."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:53:57 AM):
Omasu turns and
notices Reiko...and has a hand over her mouth.
"...reiko..."
kwikkidus
(4:54:12 AM):
"She... is why."
Hinoryu8
(4:54:26 AM):
Hey, Omasu, your
daughter's over here, unconscious, and both her arms are still in a
bad way.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:54:39 AM):
There's no wingbeat,
but she might as well be over to her just as fast, checking every
part of Reiko over. "What...what happened to you?!"
Hinoryu8
(4:56:03 AM):
Her arms aren't
broken, but there's still a lot of blood on her clothes, and her arms
likely still show that they were recently pretty much shattered. And
then healed.
kwikkidus
(4:56:03 AM):
"She took a virus spike for
Amado..." Which reminded her, she took a hold of the boy's arm,
and that same glow from before appeared. "It does not do... to
let a student walk around with a broken arm..."
Rakath
Chaos (4:56:10 AM):
Azrael
shivers. Dawn looks out the window, and growls lowly. "Why...
why can't I fight it..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:49:53 AM):
"My
attacks...don't seem to work on him...nor will your Wind attacks..."
His eyes have gone back to normal, as have his hands.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:50:21 AM):
"...." A
card appears in Ichirou's hand, a black outline around it.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:50:24 AM):
"Distract
him."
Y
Ruler of Time (4:50:52 AM):
"...Very
well."
Y Ruler of Time
(4:51:20 AM):
Seta flaps his wings once.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:51:59 AM):
A
tremendous burst of wind shoots from Seta's position, tinting the
night air pure black as it passes, and crushing all in its
path.
Hinoryu8
(4:52:51 AM):
"...
Very well." FGD lunges forward, through the blackness, and
attacks Seta.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:52:16 AM):
Ichirou slowly lands,
before his wings and tail fading as Ibris appears in front of
him.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:53:28 AM):
C'mon,
Seta....just get him over here...
Y
Ruler of Time (4:54:15 AM):
"Come
here, self-proclaimed God..." Seta rears back a fist.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:54:39 AM):
...Which becomes covered in armor as he
brings it forward. "Punish my foes, Armed Dragon!"
Hinoryu8
(4:55:07 AM):
FGD simply holds out a hand. And an immense
blast of wind comes from behind Seta. He's not going anywhere. He's
taking you to him.
Y
Ruler of Time (4:56:50 AM):
Seta's wings flap steadily as the wind
pushes at his back. "You are foolish to challenge the dark God
bird to a battle of the wind!"
Hinoryu8
(4:56:56 AM):
FGD simply stares at Seta again. "More
and more..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:58:28 AM):
Now!
"Five God Dragon..."
Hinoryu8
(4:58:48 AM):
FGD looks down at his own arm. "..."
He points it at Seta, and fires another huge blast of wind.
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:59:07 AM):
Ichirou holds up the
card. "You will either leave this place, or suffer the
consequences!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:59:11 AM):
"Activate! Super
Fusion!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (4:59:56 AM):
The card glows, and a
massive vortex appears above both FGD and Ichirou.
Hinoryu8
(5:00:08 AM):
FGD stares. "Super Fusion... The
power of the King."
Hinoryu8
(5:00:29 AM):
"The materials you are
fusing?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:00:39 AM):
"Your souls and
mine!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:00:57 AM):
"If you don't
leave this island, I'll fuse us both together!"
Hinoryu8
(5:01:01 AM):
And at this, for the first time, FGD breaks
into a smile... though a slightly crazed one.
Hinoryu8
(5:01:58 AM):
"Then come! Fuse our
souls... Enter my soul, and be lost! Feel millenia of rage, and
hatred! Feel the pain of the soul at betrayal!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:02:31 AM):
Ichirou merely grits
his teeth, as the vortex starts to pull....but fades.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:02:41 AM):
God dammit. He
called my bluff...
Hinoryu8
(5:03:07 AM):
"... It was a bluff?" The
dragon seems honestly surprised.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:03:34 AM):
Ichirou lets out a
low chuckle.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:03:39 AM):
"My soul isn't
in the best shape."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:03:46 AM):
"It wouldn't
last long against yours."
Hinoryu8
(5:04:15 AM):
"Is that so..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:04:16 AM):
"I was hoping
you wouldn't think so."
Hinoryu8
(5:05:20 AM):
"... It is strange."
Hinoryu8
(5:06:08 AM):
Suddenly, he's in Seta's face, punching
with considerable might.
Hinoryu8
(5:06:18 AM):
"You are a very distractable
group."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:06:52 AM):
Seta's head jerks back, blood goes
flying from his mouth.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:06:54 AM):
"God dammit..."
Ichirou doesn't move after them. "I'm nearly out of Duel
Energy...."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:07:32 AM):
"Thanks for the excuse," he
punches back, his armored arm erupting in pure, destructive energy.
No element, just pure energy.
Hinoryu8
(5:08:27 AM):
"Think nothing of it." He
meets it with a punch of his own. No pure destructive energy, outside
of the kinetic force of the punch, but that's a lot of kinetic
force.
Hinoryu8
(5:13:52 AM):
After the punches meet, FGD floats back and
examins his arm.
Hinoryu8
(5:14:12 AM):
"... It seems I have not fully
revived."
Hinoryu8
(5:15:58 AM):
"... To fight you now would be
problematic..." He floats up, away from the
others.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:16:14 AM):
"....what are
you saying?"
Y
Ruler of Time (5:16:29 AM):
"He's acknowledging the fact that
I'm about to kill him."
Hinoryu8
(5:16:51 AM):
"I intended to kill that one in
that one blow." He looked at Seta.
Hinoryu8
(5:17:48 AM):
"You humans... have also made me
curious. In these millenia, you are different. I intend to see how
different."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:19:15 AM):
"...what does
that mean?"
Hinoryu8
(5:20:04 AM):
"I will see this world, and what
the march of time has wrought."
Hinoryu8
(5:20:28 AM):
"And at the same time I will
recover my own power."
Hinoryu8
(5:20:59 AM):
"When that time comes, I shall
return. When I do, I will fight you again."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:21:12 AM):
"...very
well."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:21:35 AM):
"Don't be foolish. What makes you
think you have the option of leaving here alive?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:22:08 AM):
"Seta. Stop
posturing."
Hinoryu8
(5:22:12 AM):
"Because you are too weak to kill
me." FGD says, in utter dead seriousness.
Hinoryu8
(5:23:05 AM):
"I would kill you now, but doing so
would kill that one I gave my word to spare."
Hinoryu8
(5:23:17 AM):
"Precision... is a difficult
thing."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:23:59 AM):
.'...Not entirely true. At this
point, I'd say we lack the capability to kill each other...Because
the only way I can harm him is by rapidly draining my own strength,
which would be self-defeating against this opponent.'
Y
Ruler of Time (5:24:21 AM):
Then again...I have no idea how much
of this God's power is available to him.'
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:26:11 AM):
"If you're
going, then go. Nobody's stopping you."
Hinoryu8
(5:26:55 AM):
"Do not die until after our
battle." With that, he simply turns and flies
away.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:27:18 AM):
Ichirou
sighs.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:27:49 AM):
"...10 years
back, I probably would've fought him to my very death without letting
him leave."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:28:18 AM):
"...Ten years ago, we would have
been able to kill him."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:28:50 AM):
"...Indeed."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:29:03 AM):
"Well...."
Ichirou stretches.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:29:22 AM):
"I sent Towa and
Soren a message to take the students underground for their
safety..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:29:58 AM):
"So hopefully,
nobody got hurt besides those two kids of yours..."
Rakath
Chaos (5:29:58 AM):
Dawn appears
a few feet from the pair, and in a very polite for her move, doesn't
say anything to interrupt.
Y
Ruler of Time (5:30:03 AM):
"Ughh..." Fuji stands up
from...somewhere.
Y Ruler of Time
(5:30:34 AM):
"...I never thought to prepare my
children for a God."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:30:34 AM):
Ichirou walks over to
Dawn, and puts an arm around her in a hug.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:30:42 AM):
"How are Zaniah
and the two siblings?"
Rakath
Chaos (5:30:57 AM):
"Father?"
Dawn is confused for a moment, "Everyone should be
fine..."
Rakath
Chaos (5:31:10 AM):
"Should
we tell... Godmother and my uncle about what has happened?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:31:26 AM):
"That
depends."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:31:37 AM):
"Do you want
your father to be killed in his sleep?"
Rakath
Chaos (5:31:58 AM):
"I
didn't suggest telling mother."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:32:05 AM):
"Ichirou-sensei! I am so sorry! I
was unable to recover from his brilliant counter to
'that'!"
Viewtiful Rekk
(5:32:28 AM):
"She would tell
your mother, just as long as she agreed to tape my gruesome
murder."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:32:32 AM):
"...don't worry
about it, Fuji."
Rakath
Chaos (5:33:10 AM):
He had a
point, "So... how do I become stronger? I do not wish to be so
useless next time."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:33:26 AM):
Ichirou lets out a
long sigh. "Dawn...."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:33:33 AM):
"I'm wondering
the same thing..."
Y
Ruler of Time (5:33:45 AM):
"There is only one solution!"
Fuji points a hand to the sky. "I must train harder!"
Y
Ruler of Time (5:34:25 AM):
"..." Seta turns, his wings
folding back into a coat, and he walks to the infirmary.
Rakath
Chaos (5:36:23 AM):
Dawn yawns,
"Even though I didn't use much spirit power in the fight... I'm
tired." Probably having to do with it being ungodly o'clock in
the morning.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:37:02 AM):
"...." He
smiles a bit and picks her up. "Let's go sleep, then."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:37:15 AM):
He looks back at
Seta. "...Seta."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:37:25 AM):
"I'm sorry that
your children became involved in this."
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:37:58 AM):
"I trusted that
they had evolved far enough to help...and greatly underestimate the
Five God Dragon."
Rakath
Chaos (5:38:02 AM):
Dawn, in an
act of total anti-antics, curls up in her fathers arm, and is almost
a cute normal child, except for the knive, the large number of
pouches that have shurikens, and that she's well, Dawn.
Y
Ruler of Time (5:38:43 AM):
"..." Seta keeps
walking.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:39:25
AM):
"..."
Ichirou sighs and continues walking towards the Red dorm.
Viewtiful
Rekk (5:40:44 AM):
