Rugal | Melethia

Rugal chuckled as he sat on the end of the bed.
"What if I told you that you can summon a blast of racing wind from your hands at any given moment?" He teased as he made his sales pitch.
"I can see that despite your age, you have some real potential as a Fighter like yours truly. How would you like for me to teach you how to preform the Sonic Boom?" He offered, the first time he's bothered to teach a student anything.
Hell, this was the first time he teached period.

Airship Rising Dawn - The Bridge:

A.I. Vermilion | Dimitri | Jake
Jake sighed at the news. "Thank you for the Information on Teri Vermillion, along with the room. What are Dmitri's thought's on the matter? For that matter is she simply sleeping and having a bad dream? She was with Slindis last I checked, they could be training. I don't wanna intrude on her too much lest she think I'm stalking her..."

Rugal | Melethia

Melethia's eyes gleamed at the thought of picking that up. "It sounds pretty interesting. Wanna head to the training room for that, Wheathair?"

Rugal | Melethia

"Gladly. Follow me."
Thus Rugal led Melethia to the Training Room and began to get things set up.
"Now I must warn you: Teaching was never my forte. I am a masterful student as I can pick up such techniques by merely watching, but teaching is another matter. Still, I'm certain we'll get on okay. First things first: a demonstration." He explained as he locked the room down and brought up a Stone Statue of Tomoya in the center of the hallway.

"The Basis of the move is simple. It's a extremely quick hand moment that results in a strong blast of air striking the foe for reasonable damage with no Ki Energy required. It's perfect for close encounters as it has a range of about 10 to 20 feet before the blast expires. It can be done in two ways:
The One Armed Method or the Cross Armed Method. For the sake of simplicity, I'll be teaching you the Cross Armed Method.
Now, watch my movements..."

Rugal stepped in front of the statue with around 7 feet between them before spreading out his arms and bringing them back in front of him extremely quick.

"SONIC BOOM!"
Melethia watched as small crescent-shaped wave of energy raced towards the statue and stuck it, causing it to crumble into dust.

"See? Not too hard is it? The main thing you need in order to preform it is strength, enough to execute the necessary movements. To do this..." He explained before he opened a side compartment and pulled out a rather large set of dumbbells and dropped them on the ground in front of her.
"We'll be using these. One hand each. 500 reps each. any questions?"

[HEADING=3]If you have any questions, please ask! The system my characters were pulled from has a decent amount of documentation involved, so I can explain it fairly easily.[/HEADING]

Level 21 Lawful Good Drow Female
(12 Paladin \ 2 Fighter \ 6 Monk \ 1 Grandmaster of Flowers)

Height= 5'1"

Hit Points: 569
Spell Points: 266
Ki [http://ddowiki.com/page/Ki]: 195
Base Attack Bonus (Basically, how accurate she is.): 19/19/24/29/29 uncentered, 21/21/26/31/31 when centered.

Stats = average Joe Schmoe sits around 10-12.

Strength: 23 base +7 (Item) +4 (Improved Defensive Stance) +1 (Grandmaster of Flowers) = 35
Dexterity: 18 base +5 (Item) +1 (Grandmaster of Flowers] = 24
Constitution: 15 base +6 (Item) +2 (Insightful bonus from item) + 4 (Improved Defensive Stance) +1 (Grandmaster of Flowers) = 28
Intelligence: 14 base = 14
Wisdom: 15 base +6 (Item) +1 (Monk Class Enhancement) +1 (Grandmaster of Flowers) = 23
Charisma: 17 base +4 (Item) +1 (Paladin Class Enhancement = 22

Fortitude (saves against poison or physical ailments, aided by Con): 45 (16 base + 8 Constitution + 6 Charisma from Divine Grace feat + 14 Enchanted)
Reflex (saves regarding speed and dexterity, aided by Dex): 36 (9 Base + 7 Dexterity + 6 Charisma from Divine Grace + 14 Enchanted)
Will (Saves against attacks on the mind, aided by Wis): 35 (9 Base + 6 Wisdom + 6 Charisma from Divine Grace + 14 Enchanted)

Armor Class [How hard it is to hit her]:52 (10 base + 6 Dex + 6 Wisdom + 6 Armor + 5 Natural Armor + 4 Deflection + 5 Paladin aura + 6 Centered + 4 Insight)

Dodge Chance: 20% (7% from feats, 1% and 3% from items, 6% from monk level 6, 3% from Grandmaster of Flowers) [Chance for her to flat out avoid an attack before Armor Class kicks in.]
Spell Resistance: 32 (Drow level 21 giving her 31 spell resistance, 1 stacking from Grandmaster of Flowers) = Extremely resistant to spells

Lay on Hands per rest: 4, total healing of 186 HP per use. (CHA Bonus [6]* (10+Character Level level [21]=31))
Turn Undead attempts per rest: 3 + 6 from Charisma + 3 from Enhancements for 12 per rest.
Smite Evil Uses per rest: 6, and each smite can get the extra strike from Two Weapon fighting.

Due to her focus in close to mid range combat, her long-range capabilities are fairly limited.

Basic/Improved/Greater Two-Weapon Fighting: 80% chance to produce an offhand attack for every normal attack. Unarmed fighting always produces an offhand attack, so Slin has an 80% chance to throw another attack in on top of the original two.

Aberrant Dragonmark: Every 4 rounds, Slindis can produce either a Solid Fog effect or a Grease effect at a caster level equal to to her character level.

Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack: 7% Dodge, loses no accuracy when attacking someone on the run

Combat Expertise: Lose some accuracy to fight more defensively.

Combat Reflexes: Rapidly respond to those attacking her with counterattacks of her own.

Improved Trip: Exactly what it says on the Tin.

Evasion: Autogained at Monk Level 2, saving against a Reflex based save means she completely ignores the effect.

Hand of the Light: Slindis' character level counts as her Paladin Level for all effects.

Drow Spell Resistance: As a Drow, Slindis naturally gets a Spell Resistance of 10 + her Character level, effectively giving her a 50% chance to ignore non-damaging effects from Hold Person up to Finger of Death. More experienced spellcasters will usually invest in Spell Penetration feats to get past the Spell Resistance, but Lower level casters have an even harder time bypassing the Spell Resistance.

Improved Critical: Unarmed - Slindis is skilled in unarmed fighting and has a better chance of delivering blows to vital areas.

Divine Grace: As a level 2 Paladin, Slindis has a boost to her saves based on her Charisma modifier.

Divine Health: As a level 3 Paladin, Slindis is immune to all diseases, no matter the source.

Aura of Courage and Good: A paladin's aura of good gives a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws to all allies within range, and their aura of courage gives a +4 bonus to saves versus fear. In addition, Slin's aura has been improved. Refer to the Paladin Aura enhancements for details.

Fear Immunity: As a Paladin, Slindis is immune to all fear effects.

Improved Unarmed Strike: While centered (unarmored, unencumbered, and wielding monk weapons), Slin's fists and feet are lethal weapons. Their current Base Damage before anything else is 2d8, or Stronger than a two-handed maul.

Ki Strike - Magic: As a level 4 monk, all of your unarmed melee attacks are empowered with ki and are considered magical for damage reduction purposes.

Fast movement: A Monk gains a cumulative 5% bonus to run speed for every three Monk levels, so Slindis has a 10% bonus to run speed. This bonus stacks with other run speed bonuses.

Immunity to sleep: All elves are naturally immune to all magical sleep effects.

Smite Evil: six times per rest period, Slindis may attempt to Smite evil with one normal melee attack. For details on the smite Slindis will be using, refer to Exalted Smite under the Paladin Special Attacks spoiler tag.

BlackHarte | Kurumu

BlackHarte stared at Kurumu and placed his hands on her shoulders before silently guiding her out of the Canteen. When the two were well out of range from the earshot of the others, BlackHarte turned to the Succubus and spoke softly, "The young master has fallen ill."

With that BlackHarte walked over to the medical bay and slid opened the door. Armageddon was still standing idly inside, presiding over the small frail body of the Anti-Mage.

Her face was red now, and her breathing was rapid and short. BlackHarte, or rather Edward, walked gently over to her, his footsteps not making any sound and placed his hand on Kyre's forehead.

"A cold fever..." he grumbled, "she went around consuming random things in the jungle didn't she? It'll be lucky if this isn't Ebola fever."

Then he turned to Kurumu, who he had inadvertently dragged with him into the medical bay, "Before I start with this. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Rugal | Melethia

She picked up the weights and beg the repetitions, thinking Rugal's movements through as she started the repetitions. They didn't make much sense - after all, if all it needed was strength, why hadn't she heard it before? There's gotta be more to it than just that. But what is it? The weights were a bit heavy, but the more difficult part was keeping that motion in mind as she did the movements, nearing one hundred repetitions.

As she did the movements, Rugal saw that the girl was putting her mind into breaking down the motion as her eyes glazed over much in the same way they did when she dismantled traps.

NotYetForsaken · Feb 1, 2013

BlackHarte | Kurumu | Kyre

Kyre shivered in her sleep, turning over onto her side and then shifting back. BlackHarte looked on, moving his hand from her forehead to her neckline and pulling apart the small green cloak around her shoulders, and then slipping the chainmail and leather from her so that the young anti-mage remained in her undershirt.

Edward folded up her armor and placed it on top of Armageddon's saddle.

"If you could hold her down, that would be best. The young master is not very comfortable with machines, and what I am about to do would be very invasive," he paused, "in short, I expect her to react badly if she wakes up."

BlackHarte's hands melted into black liquid and spread across Kyre's body, piercing her skin along her sides and arms. There was a small click, and crimson blood began to flow from Kyre's body into BlackHarte, and then back into the Anti-Mage's body again.

"If you're wondering, this is blood dialysis."

Airship Rising Dawn - Networks:

A.I. Vermilion | Dimitri

Dimitri took in Vermilion's distress instantaneously, and before doing so, decided to get Jake off their tales with a simple, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"She is currently engaged in a private matter with Paladin Slindis. I shall alert you when she is ready to take visitors, alright? I apologize for being short with you, but you must remember I am built to serve. Caution for my Lady is but a normal part of my programming..."

[/color]

After muting the channel to Jake, Dimitri took Vermilion's hands in his own, virtual fabric running over virtual hands as kind yellow eyes stared intently into glowing red ones, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"...Ms. Vermilion, are you familiar with the story of Persephone?"

Teri's Mindscape - TUNDRA OF DOOM, BITCHES:

ireT | sidnilS | reficuL <--*waves hands* Watch out, we got a 'badass' over here!

The dragon gritted it's teeth in pain as the arrows struck true in several places, one piercing the covering over the Cleric; causing more of the... Black (?) water seep from the wounds sustained there. As Lucifer dived down towards the beast, he noticed that as it drained, the Cleric seemed to move around in her prison more... As if she were struggling. Perhaps the reason she was so unresponsive was on account of this substance!

The Ice Dragon had no time to react when Lucifer dive bombed it's wing; and found itself falling to the ground far more quickly than it would have liked. Even in pain, the dragon curled in on itself to reduce the impact upon it's prisoner's cage; as it needed HER in order to sustain it's advantage over the duo. However, that didn't mean that the cage did not sustain some damage. Cracks appeared on the surface of it's cage, and a small chip was missing from the upper portion, around where the Cleric's head was located. As the water around that area drained away, Slindis could hear the Cleric gasp for breath desperately, each breath inter-spaced with a silent sob.

The Dragon forced itself up again, the other wing limply set against it's side, broken and unable to use; with it's former left wing melted off. Shaking as it stabilized it's movements, dark curses billowed from it's maw as the dragon began advancing towards the Paladin again, [color=0E59E4]"Persistent... Insects. I will.. freeze your blood!"[/color]

The dragon opened it's immense mouth again, the frigid breath of the dragon directed solely at Slindis.

Airship Rising Dawn - Crew Quarters:

Devon | Ella

While Ella chatted in the room, Devon cast a Prestidigation to clean himself up and waited for her outside, noting that it was taking fairly long. "Even if she's showering and getting ready, it's taking a pretty long time for her to get ready. In that case, I might as well return the favor and make sure I look presentable." After taking a good amount of time to ensure that his clothing was fully cleaned even if it was a bit torn up.

"Ella, you about done in there? The dinner might walk off on us if ya take any longer!" He joked as he called into the room through the closed door, not knowing the deeds that were taking place in there.

Teri's Mindscape - TUNDRA OF DOOM, BITCHES:

ireT | sidnilS | reficuL | iedaS

Slindis tried to move out of the way of the breath, but it was too late - she took the full brunt of the blast and was frozen to the spot. [color=c20000]Teri, I won't let this be the end. If I do, I'll have failed you completely![/color] As she faced the certainity of death while straining against the ice, a timid voice floated through the Tundra.

"Teri, we're all here for you. Please, don't give up!" A small calming silver fire drifted over to the group as it grew and shifted into a slender teenage girl wearing glasses and a simple black long sleeved shirt with a red bow on the neck. She quickly summoned a Silver staff with engravings of a fire on it and went in to attack the dragon, hoping to free Teri as she thwacked away at its legs. Although the attacks didn't harm the dragon all too much, it distracted it momentarily.

The moment's distraction gave Slindis the time needed to focus all her strength on shattering the ice encasing her. However, this action also served to shatter her armor and blades. [color=c20000]"Teri, I'm breaking you out of that cage even if it kills me!"[/color] Even though the frigid winds tore at the now unarmored Drow, she focused everything she had into delivering two solid punches that pierced through the encasement by Teri's knees, causing more of the black liquid to leak out.

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Feb 1, 2013

Jake nodded at Dimitri's request, understanding the situation. "That won't be necessary Mr Dimitri, I don't need to bother Miss Gravel for a long while I hope. Slindis cares greatly for her, and should be able to help her through any issues she has in her training."

Jake turned away from the main console and walked up to the main window, gazing out across the open skies, hand upon the pommel of his sword.

"And I'm sick of being woken up before I get a whole 2 hours sleep..." he muttered more to himself than anyone else.

A.I. Vermilion | Dimitri

Dimitri chuckled at Vermilion's answer and continued, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"Not the best at metaphors, aren't you Ms. Vermilion? You see, I find that my existence will most likely follow after that Goddess; split between two realms, and constantly changing between them. Whilst her Ladyship stays on the Rising Dawn, I will be able to continue my work here; and can easily do as she wishes from outside the Tablet. However, once she reaches the ground again, I shall need to be transported with her. It would serve as a direct link to this ship while the teams went about their way; and would prove more efficient. You know that it takes more processing cycles to access this ship with both of us here rather than one on either end."

As he continued to speak, his voice softened, and a softer smile than his usual poise took form; an even mixture of happiness and melancholy; [color=3897E0]

Code:

"Please do not think that I leave because I am willingly wanting to abandon you. I am preforming my duty when I am gone, keeping the Users safe, so that I may sooner return here... I would not want to be away from you for long."

Teri's Mindscape - The Grey:

Lucifer | Sadei | Slindis | Teri <--No Hex for you!

The dragon weakly tried to take a step back from Lucifer, but the Angel followed after the beast without fail, his gaze never staying away from his query.

"Close your eyes"

The Cleric didn't need telling twice. As the glow began to envelope everything around them, the Ice Dragon shook it's head, crying out soundlessly in pain as the ice that it was composed of slowly began to melt away. However, despite the noise around her, Teri noticed that her mind had never been clearer; and she realized the truth of this whole encounter. She smiled faintly, feeling the heat of Lucifer's light wash over her after being trapped in this dark and terrifying prison,

Listen to me. Hopefully, it'll end after you read the rest of this post. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5HPE63aRAE]

[color=0E59E4]"I get it. I finally understand what you are."[/color]

[color=0E59E4]"What?! What are you going on about?"[/color]

[color=0E59E4]"But you told me this from the start... You're me, and I'm you. Everyone has two sides to them; one dark and one light. The dark side is what people hate about themselves, and the light is what they find of value. Sometimes, the dark side wins, and that person constantly struggles with themselves. But that doesn't mean that the light winning is good either. There are plenty of terrible people who feel they do no wrong, and don't feel guilty for what they do. Just like Yin and Yang; to borrow from cliche, people need both to remain balanced. Even Brahma, a god of creation, had two other sides to him; Shiva, the Destroyer and Vishnu, the Maintainer.

You are the same for me. You are my darkness, my every bad thought, every nightmare and fear I have ever experienced. You're everything bad about me; and the things I was afraid to vocalize. You been gaining strength from me since I first stepped into this realm. It began with trying to keep peace among the authors when things were going to hell, like a very hungry caterpiller, you kept eating away at me the worse things got. You grew when I was kidnapped, forcibly used to summon Angelus for Bruiser's sick entertainment, as well the shock I still sustain from that event. You grew when I first encountered the Morning Star before me; and I was afraid. You grew when I was afraid of Rugal; both his fake and the real thing. You grew when I had to face Bruiser again, even though I wasn't alone. You grew when my friends fought, and I felt powerless to stop them. You grew when I slaughtered Angels with my magic, because I felt dirty and wrong for killing the deceived; even when they turned their guns to me. And you grew now because I denied you."[/color]

The Cleric balled her fists against the mirror-like surface, [color=0E59E4]"But no longer. What I needed to realize is that despite feeling all these terrible things, I am human. It's normal to feel upset, downtrodden, or lost when things go wrong. It's impossible to always keep smiling without lying. Even if I'm supposed to watch over the Authors for Reset abuse, that doesn't mean I have to be a robot. And... even if I don't like everything about me, there are still people who care! Look at them! Don't you see how they've fought to save me, somebody who I thought wasn't worth the effort?! LOOK AT THEM! Tell me what you see! I see three people who care so much, they literally hopped into my mind to help me get better! And I will not let them down any longer! I won't let down God either. So, this charade has to end now. I can't keep hiding anymore."[/color]

The Cleric raised her fists to hit upon the ice, and when they came down for the first time, the ice did not break; and the dragon cried out, [color=0E59E4]"NO! Don't leave here! Here is safe! If you go out there, they will only lie and cheat, and treat you badly! You don't want to be there! You want to be safe, right?"[/color]

Bringing down her hands again, there was a crack in the wall, and after another; a piece broke away,

[color=0E59E4]"I ONLY DID THIS TO HELP YOU!"[/color]

The third and final time her hands came down, and the ice shattered, eliciting a screech from the dragon as the rest of the black water drained onto the snow below. Before Teri walked out of her prison, she smiled ear to ear and said, [color=0E59E4]"If I wanted safe, I wouldn't be here. I came to this place to help people, and fix the mistakes I've made as an Author. Sitting around in my head won't do that. Sorry."[/color]

Stepping out of the beast, the scenery began to change the moment the Cleric's foot touched the ground. The snow quickly melted away, and the ground beneath the quartet changed to grass, rocks and trees grew into existence, and a waterfall sprung from their left.

However, like any other construct of Teri's mind, there was a singular constant. A pond appeared before them, and the dragon sunk into the water, slowly disintegrating back into the black substance from whence it came, and from that, the substance became a single black fish.

Airship Rising Dawn - Hallway:

Devon | Ella

He looked the outfit over, chuckling to himself as he thought of how shabby he had to look in comparison with the long-sleeved shirt that was torn in multiple places from the fight earlier, even if it had been cleaned. "Well, it's a good thing we aren't touching down yet, because I'd have to give you my shirt then. Don't even try telling me that you're warm in that outfit, heck, you need those socks to stop yourself from freezing completely!" The lighthearted jab was accompanied by the man making a point to get to the right of Ella as the two looked for the Canteen. More importantly, the move to Ella's side hopefully showed that he didn't much intend to eyeball her.

Thus, the Bard presented his left arm to escort Ella to the Canteen. Hopefully they'd find it sooner rather than later, because he didn't have a damn clue where it was. And what would be the issue if it took them a while?

Teri's Mindscape - The Grey:

Lucifer | Sadei | Slindis | Teri <--No Hex for you!

Sadei ran up and tightly hugged Teri, almost lifting her up. "Teri, you've finally pierced through! I'm so glad that you did, because it was getting really lonely while you were walling yourself off like that. Promise me that you'll never do that again, or I'll thwack you!" The spirit of the staff had clearly missed the Cleric a lot.

The main focus for Slindis after the fight finished up was to get her armor back on, but no matter how much she focused on it, she couldn't find it. [color=c20000]"That's odd... why can't my armor show up? Even the spare sets in the bag's gone. All that's here is this outfit [http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee403/TajuhDDO/Icy_Raiment_zps1c72e6f2.jpg] from the area the attack was. But why?"[/color]

It was amusing to see the Paladin struggle to put on the outfit, but she eventually made it fit and approached the rest of the group. Seeing the drow in actual clothing for the first time was a bit odd for the three there, as Slindis had always made sure to wear some type of protection. The fluid way she seemed to be able to move in it showed that even that armor that hav been made specifically for her had been holding her back.

[color=c20000]"What? Is something amusing about this?"[/color] She was more than a bit embarrassed at the way the light outfit felt like she was wearing nothing even when it clearly covered a great deal of her skin.

Interrupting his gazing as he woke up was a memory. He sighed as he realized he would have to put a failsafe in place should he die. And who better than to ask than that person?

"Miss Vermillion, sorry to disturb you again but can you please page Mark to come to the bridge post haste? I have Author matters to discuss with him, before I forget." Jake asked the AI tiredly.

He could have sent the man a PM but he figured paging him would be quicker. That was of course easier said than done on a completely foreign bridge to him, and the AI's had been friendly enough so far.

Jake returned his gaze to the open skies once more...

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Feb 1, 2013

The whoosh of the Bridge doors opening informed Jake of Mark's arrival.

"Mark, please join me up here." Jake said, waving at the empty space beside him at the massive window. He waited for Mark to join him before speaking, low and with sincerity.

"You made a deal with the Devil, Lucifer. I need to know how to do the same. I promised Master Caim and Angelus that I would cut this world free of any outside interference once Tomoya is dead and peace restored to the world. I also promised him I'd die by on his sword once it's done so at least one less Author could meddle in his life and home. I believe I do it with my Author powers. But, I fear I might die fighting Tomoya, and I will not break my promise. I think Lucifer is the best person to help me here."

"In short, I wish to sell my soul to Lucifer to ensure Angelus and Caim can live happily ever after, free at last. I owe that Dragon my life twice over. I also need to speak to Kokoa about her saving me as well, I owe her my life too."

Airship Rising Dawn - Hallway:

Devon | Ella

Devon led the way, not all too bothered by their not knowing where they were at. "I just want you to wear something you're comfortable in. You don't have to doll yourself up for this, though I do appreciate the thought." He laughed as he thought of how mismatched the two must look, and laughed even more when he realized that he didn't really care what they thought.

Teri's Mindscape - The Grey:

Lucifer | Saddei | Slindis | Teri <---- Because editing that is too much effort.

She laughed. [color=c20000]"Well, I've had to deal with a mind dive before, but I was able to change out my equipment. Maybe it's a sign?"[/color] As she moved around in it more, she was feeling more comfortable as time went on. It was clear that she'd tapped into something in that fight, although what she tapped into was still to be seen.

[color=c20000]"Teri, how about the two of us work to making sure those walls don't go up again. And who's the human in here?"[/color] She looked at Sadei, clearly confused.

"Human? I'm Sadei, thank you very much!" The embodiment of Teri's staff was miffed at SLin's disregard for her. Well, that and the whole 'shoving a vampire in the bag with her' thing.

Rugal
As Melethia worked though the many, MANY Reps with the Dumbbells, Rugal grew more and more impressed, hell, half of his lieutenants wouldn't have been able to do as many and her she was getting up to 200 and still going!
"...Yeah, starting to feel the burn now, aren't you? This is necessary so if you can contain the force of the Projectile. Unlike most common Ki based Fireballs, the Sonic Boom is not related to your bodies energy, therefore if it backfires it WILL hurt you. Decent arm muscles will ensure you don't misfire it and break your own arm." He explained as she seemed rather focused, driven almost.
"Still, if you can at least make it to 350, you should have enough to control it, but try to aim for 500." He said as watched.

David/Jenny
Once word of the incoming DC Attack reached him, David kept trying to contact Richardson of UNIT, unaware that they were in fact fighting in Asia.

Jenny meanwhile was trying to make sense of it all.
"I still don't understand why Tomoya would do all this..." She said as she was brought up to speed on the angel's crimes.

AIM Bunker
Once the Mission to cripple the US Military Industrial Complex was competed, Inuart and the others awaited further instructions, unaware of the fact it was merely part of Viscus plan to over throw Rugal.
The Bard grew restless from the lack of information regarding Furie as he paced up and down the Wreak Room.
Then.
[color=004d00]"Hey hippy! Get your ass out here! Need you to sign for this delivery!"[/color] Doom shouted as he motioned for him to follow him to the Supply Warehouse.

That was when they met again.
The Hammer Empire kept their word for once and Furie was delivered, her lifeless body laying still in a glass pod, somewhat like Snow White after she ate the poison apple.
But the scene was not prefect as Doom droned on and on and on.
[color=004d00]"Need you to sign here....here....tick the box...Cross out that...add the company signature. that's "S.C.R.E.W.W.E.S.K.E.R."..."[/color]

Airship Rising Dawn - Bridge
Jake kept his gaze ahead. He hadn't thought of that, had he? Always rushing ahead, never thinking things through completely. His voice was low and apologetic this time. "A prison... I hadn't thought of that. The rest of your points are very valid. I was very one track minded, wasn't I? Thank the Gods I get my ideas checked before I do things, in a roundabout way I suppose."

Jake turned his head to look at Mark. Eye to eye. "Kokoa saved my life, and I need to repay her for that. She did it at great personal loss. She faced her own demons, aired them and used them to break Fake!Kokoa. Any ideas on what I can do?"

Rugal
Sure, she was getting a bit tired, but this would be nothing if she could just break down that motion and how it caused the shockwave. Okay, what makes those waves? If I could find that out, there'd be nothin' stopping me from changing it up an' making it my own... She was so focused, she passed by the 350 mark without showing any real sign of fatigue.

Then the 425 mark flew by with no real sign of stopping as the girl stayed in that focused state. Rugal could see through the methodical way the young girl did her reps that she was trying to fully figure out the how and why of the attack instead of just being satisfied being able to do it.

Devon | Ella

Devon smiled as he got the both of them a drink from the bar. "Does the first of many times in the future work with you, Ella?" Even in his messy looking state, he felt great for once since this all started in Wyoming. "It seems like a pretty decent sized menu here. What would you say about some ribs? You can never go wrong with a good rack." As he waited for her answer, the image of a man with slicked-back red hair looking at a sleeping woman with brown hair flashed through his head.

The fuck?

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Feb 1, 2013

Rugal
Such Drive, Such Focus... Rugal thought as the Elf began to near the final stretch with a rather un-characteristic grin on his face.
"495...496...497..Come on, nearly there! 498 499. 500!" He shouted as Melethia dropped the dumbbells in relief.
"Astounding! I've yet to meet an single employee of mine that can do that, least without some form of enhancement or special trait. And yet, here you are, putting them all to shame!" He beamed with pride as he picked them up in his hand and put them away before lobbing Melethia a towel to wipe the sweat off with.
"Right, Now, Back to the actual technique when you are ready." He said as he brought up another statue.

"More in depth, first you centre yourself as to not get knocked down by the force of the blast.
Second, You bring your arms out as so, think like stretching before a run, keep them tense though.
Line up your target. Focus. This is another key point, but I'm certain that won't be a problem for you.
Fists tight, Tense and...
SONIC BOOM!"

Like last time, a wave of energy raced towards the statue and stuck with the force of a massive hammer.
"think you got it?"
