The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[Sithmorack]

"...." Shadow looked at David like he was stupid for a moment before returning back to actually helping him. He grabbed a chair from nearby and help it up to his right away from his body.

"Punch" was all he said as he stood there waiting.

Of course once David punched the chair it instantly broke into several different pieces that all went flying across the room hitting a wall and smashing into even smaller pieces.

"That is what you need to know..." Shadow declared as he though of something else he needed training in.

"Ahhh one last thing..." Shadow pulled out his 9mm glock and fired at David.

His reflexes automatically kicking in for David time seemed to slow down a bit and the bullets slowed down. The bullets were now going the speed as if a person was walking. David easily avoided them and stood up.

"I guess you have that down..." Shadow said in an amused tone. "Theres not much else I can teach you then other than you can jump high and fall from great distances and survive... were gonna have to go sky diving sometime..... also we should spar sometime now" he told David as he went pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Just be careful not to crush someones hand when giving a handshake..." Shadow remarked as he relaxed a bit.

"So whats our next 'mission' anyways?" he asked.

 

[bluecrimson]

L-2 region of space, just outside of the Blue Dragon's effective attack range

The slightly mechanical voice responded.

[color=darkgrey]"Proceeding to dock. Until Tajuh arrives and assigns pilots, movements aboard the Hagane are highly restricted, and any attempts to undermine this ship's capabilities will be responded with in force."[/color]

The ship made a textbook docking in the Blue Dragon's hangar, and the inspecting members of the Striders were met by an imposing man with a sidearm at his hip.

"I am Lieutenant Commander Browning of the Hagane, and I will be coordinating with your forces within my parameters. Consider the crew of the Rising Dawn under my protection as well, and hostile actions against them will be seen as an attack on my crew." The grey haired man delivered an impeccable salute, and the inspecting Striders could see countless others wearing the same uniform on board.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Hanger of the Blue Dragon

Hien and other Striders looked at the ship, for it's strange design, it had firepower to spare.
They were all wearing the standard Blue and Red uniform while Hein wore white.
"Super A Rank Strider Hien. Know that you are being watched constantly. As you stated with yours, any attempts to undermine this Station will be met with force also." He explained, this entire operation was going to be a massive stand off from start to finish and Hien certainly wasn't helping.
It was then they moved aside to bring the Commander though the base to the Grandmaster.

 

[bluerocker]

Tajuh's Room - Tajuh, Jenny, Caim, Angelus, Devon

Caim and Angelus listened carefully and nodded along with Tajuh's words, Angelus speaking up, "So, with these AIs in place, we don't have to worry too much about anything aside from the actual fighting? That certainly sounds pleasing enough, doesn't it Caim?"

The warrior nodded, his familiar battle grin appearing as his PDA rattled off,

"Hey, he's lending us weapons to combat the Angels! Where do I sign up and when can I start training with it?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

[HEADING=2]The Crew of the Rising Dawn are moving to the Strider Space Station: The Blue Dragon, to set up the Space Battle. Sorry for railroading, but as Co-GM, the plot must go on![/HEADING]

Jenny/Rugal

After receiving confirmation from Tajuh, Jenny then made her way towards the bridge and namely the intercom.
"Attention all! Please report to the Bridge. We have gotten in touch with some allies and we are about to travel to them. Bring whatever belongings you need for the battle ahead and meet up there....Right, now how in the name of all that is holy do I turn this thing off?...Is this it?"
"No, that's just for the Coffee machine."
.....Why would he pu-"
"You know for a matter of fact that I have no idea. Try the Red One."

David

David was confident enough in his skills to move on, but it was clear to Shadow that was just the power going to his head.
"Alright, time to kick that bastards ass!" He cried as he made his way out.
As he left, Shadow noticed that the veins on his neck were discolored, a possible side effect of the Serum?

Entire Crew Yes, even you!

Once the Entire Crew was gathered, Jenny began to arrange for their teleportation.
"Okay everyone. Now the process is painless and side-effect free, though some of you might experience some sickness just like Car or Air Sickness. Okay then, On 3.
1
2...
3!"
Thus the crew were engulfed by a bright orange light....

Strider HQ: Blue Dragon Space Station

...And reappeared in some kind of airlock.
"Ohhh...See? That wasn't so bad...I'll get the door."
Punching in a code and having her hand scanned, Jenny cleared the group to enter, the first thing they saw was the earth below.
"Welcome to the Blue Dragon!"

Spoiler: Da Fuk!?

...I hear some of you saying. Welp, I once RPed as Strider Hiryu who is connected to Jenny and Blade as part of The Striders.
I know this is a suprise to some of you, but as you've noticed, this RP is VERY continuity heavy, almost as bad as most modern Comic Books, so yeah...

 

[bluecrimson]

Tajuh, Lt. Cmd Browning, Rugal

Upon arriving, the imposing silver haired man from earlier approached and saluted Tajuh. "Tajuh, the full contingent has arrived. Keeping the Striders away from our machines did have its difficulties, but you can rest assured that we kept the hangar and TBC under strict lockdown."

Tajuh nodded his approval, and Rugal could see that Tajuh must have some impressive connections to have gotten this military man as an ally, and this TBC seemed particularly interesting...

"Very well. You've had the non-Strider members of the Rising Dawn declared as part of the Hagane, correct? That should help stop the greater deal of the politics here, and under absolutely no circumstances are anyone other than the men, women, and creatures I arrived with to head to any restricted areas while we are here." As the man in the coat went off, Tajuh turned to the others there.

"As I'm sure you all have guessed, the politics of the current situation are quite delicate. Until further notice, it is safe to assume that the Striders are waiting for even the slightest slip or excuse to throw us to the dogs. Now, I will not impose any kind of extreme discipline, but realize: we are all out in space, and this is their carrier. Taking any actions to anger them will harm all of us, and the attack against Tomoya could be shattered due to the ensuing conflict."

If it hadn't been clear before, Tajuh was showing it quite well now that he knew how to take the reins when the time called for it.

Devon

He was disoriented by the floating of the lessened gravity, and he laughed nervously. "So, this is what space feels like!"

Slindis

She gripped jenny's left hand in a handshake, thanking her for the transport. [color=c20000]"This was quite nice of you to do, Jenny, and I'm sure we all appreciate it."[/color]

Lupito licked the Gardevoir on the face, happily communicating to her through his mind. Never in all my life did I think I would experience this, Jenny... Thank you.

 

[bluerocker]

Once the Entire Crew was gathered, Jenny began to arrange for their teleportation.
"Okay everyone. Now the process is painless and side-effect free, though some of you might experience some sickness just like Car or Air Sickness. Okay then, On 3.
1
2...
3!"

Slaugther-Burn Family (Caim, Angelus, Cadolbolg, Ton Ton)

Before the teleportation machine went off, Caim's hand instinctively went to the Red Dragon's. After dealing with so many world hops, zaps, resets and gods knows what else, the warrior didn't want to chance losing his pact partner again as he had on multiple occasions. The blonde couldn't help but give a small laugh when she saw Ton Ton and Cadolbolg do the same before the jump as well. Before they knew it, the whole lot of them were on the Strider Station; and looking at the Earth below. The warrior's eyes widened a little at the thought of being above the skies themselves, a sentiment shared by Angelus as well; but in a bit more of a negative light.

Shifting a little, the dragon realized she was far more restricted than she liked on the space station. On the Rising Dawn, if the mood assailed her, she could easily have taken wing and gone for a flight. Here, no such privilege could be granted. There was no air to cut through with her wings.

As for the Cutie Bruisers? Being the curious creatures they were, they were already excited and interested in every little thing they could explore, pointing out different things below with equal parts wonder and excitement.

Teri, Garm

However... the jump didn't do so well for our Dear Cleric. Even with Garm and her 'parents' nearby, Teri immediately felt nausea fall over her when the jump was done, and clung to Garm's side desperately with one hand and Sadei with the other. Maybe it was because Jenny mentioned car sickness, or maybe it was her lacking in constitution, but either way, her face had drained considerably of whatever color it may have gained upon rest.

Trying to calm herself by communicating with her staff, she thought quietly, [color=0E59E4]"Oh God... I don't feel so good..."[/color]

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny/Blade

Jenny laughed as the massive dog licked her.
"HEheha-Okay-your welcome!" she managed to say in-between licks as he shook Slindis's hand.
"Oh, Pffff, It was nothing, I mean, gotta save the world right?"
"Jenny?!" a voice shouted in disbelief.
"Blade?!
Before most reacted, a Grovyle pushed though the group and made his way towards the Gardevoir, the pair of them embracing.
"Oh my god! I-i-i-got the report of New York and I tho-...Oh, I missed you!" He stammered as she tried to calm him down.
"It was true, but I'm here now..."

David/Rugal

After witnessing the two love'Mon's reunite, David took a stare out the window.
"...Wow...Now THAT...is pretty awesome...Only like a few hundred people managed to get this high outside of college! Guess it's a hundred and one now, Eh, Asswipe!?" He joked to Rugal.
....
"...Rugal?..."

Rugal's face was pale and sweating as he stared at Earth and gulped.
Down there, he was one of the most feared people in the world, but now? Up here? He was at the mercy of the merciless universe.
Deep breathes....Deep bre-
"Okay, I'm sorry, is there a place with less....Windows?..." He asked the group, clearly nervous.
"Well, there are some spare quarters to the left at the end of the hall-"
"THANK YOU! WE'LL RECONVENE LATER! Then...We'll discuss...."Fighting"...Out there...and not...inside...
....As you were..." He said before pacing off to a vacant room.
Oh my god, it's worse then in pictures! And I have to fight in that!? Awwwww...I knew I shoulda just sent up a few missiles instead!

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei

Sader sent out a small amount of communication to Teri. Teri, just calm down, and please don't lose your lunch on Garm. Do you want to have to bathe him all over again?

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei

Teri took a few shallow breaths, in an attempt to calm her stomach, and 'sent', [color=0E59E4]"I'm trying... Dammit, I can't really concentrate on my Tablet right now... If there's one thing that get's me down, it's stomach issues... How have you been by the way? I haven't heard from you in a little while..."[/color]

Thankfully, Dimitri proved to be a life saver yet again, and chimed in, [color=3897E0]

"Pardon me, but is there a restroom nearby? My Lady here is feeling a bit under the weather, and would benefit from a visit to such faculties."

[/color]

Of course, whether the Strider Base would be tolerant of a foreign AI was up in the air...

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei

Sadei somewhat dejectedly to Teri. I've been busy seeing how I could get better, but there's still so many things I can't remember... I'll find them someday, right?

Dimitri noticed that none of the Striders seemed all too keen on the group's presence on their station and searched some of that AI information he'd acquired from Tajuh's computer earlier and found something about a battleship in the Friendlies data. [color=3897E0]

"Mistress Teri, there seems to be some kind of Warship designated as a friendly in my flight data. Perhaps we could try to find it? I would think it safe to guess the man that arranged all of the machines there would have some way to transport and supply them. Its shape is quite distinctive, after all, and I could also get familiar with the inner workings of the machine as well."

[/color]

 

[StormShaun]

Riki, Kud, Storm-178 & CO.
Location: Blue Dragon Space Station | Spaaaaaaace.

Storm-178

The superhuman Spartan easily stepped out of the airlock and began to look down upon the Earth.
It has also seemed that the teleportation had little effect on him due to his training with futuristic gadgets and all.
"Space ... the final frontier." Storm said in a tough voice and he touched his helmet, "That's what they told humanity ... RIGHT before aliens attacked us. Well it looks like they were wrong." Storm laughed to himself as he was reminded of his original world.

" ... That wasn't funny." Said Alpha which immediately put down Storm's mood but returned him to a thought he just had. "I wonder if they will allow me to go outside?" Storm said as he looked around and decided to move but saw Rugal. "Hah, so much for being strong." Storm said as he passed the arms dealer known as Rugal, "[sub]Did someone like that really beat ... no kidnap Tomoya?[/sub]" Rugal could briefly hear from Storm as he walked away.

It was obvious the two were not going to have a good relation.
Unless the two dislike aliens.
Then they can talk.

Riki & Kud

The two young lovers stepped out of the teleportation worse for wear.
They had zero experience with abilities or magic like that.
The boy Riki had a feeling of nausea overcome him which made him grab him stomach. "I don't think we are used to things like this." Kud said whilst making a pained face, Riki could only think how strong girls really are.

The two tried to walk the sickness off.

Dark Tomoya & >Corrupted File.
Location: Blackhawke | Archangel Armada | Around the Moon.

The grand central chamber of the Blackhawke was based in a large room.
The room was covered in medieval decorations and at the very end contained a throne made from hard angelic metal which had the power of dark lightning infused into it.

The two figures in the room were simply looking through a glass panel at the back of the room.
They could see the science department's hard work come into play.
A ball made from complete darkness was spinning in a room with no gravity.
Black lightning also lingered around the ball.

"So this is it? The thing to kill everything and everyone at once?" The Demon Prince sneered once he saw it, and he was not impressed. "Calm down Tomoya. This thing will get us my revenge and all the death you want." The cloaked figure could only say to the angry Prince. The boy needed these corrupted souls to help him get the revenge he wants.

That is why he forced it upon him.
He had been planning this for a long time.

Yet on the outside of the Blackhawke, the Angel Armada was preparing for a battle.
Most of the ships were readying their troops, making plans and even some had hostages for unknown reasons.
The Blackhawke was the jewel of the fleet as it was not just the biggest ship, but it had began to have a mysterious glow to it because of it's Black hole super weapon which laid inside of it.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei

Teri concentrated on 'sending' out a message to Dimitri; and 'said' [color=0E59E4]

"If we need to get there, then we'd best make haste... Dimitri, send an Email to Mr. Bernstein. There's no good in us getting separated. Mr. Tajuh, if you would lead us to this 'friendly'?"

[/color]

Still clinging to Garm's side, Teri found that walking with the wolf in tow did help stave off some of the sickness assailing her; and continued her conversation with Sadei; [color=0E59E4]"I'm sure you'll get your memories back, Sadei; and I'll make sure to work with you to help. I've neglected you too much already..."[/color]

Rugal's Quarters

As the King of Fighters attempted to fight off the shakes from his Astrophobia, his PDA vibrated in his pocket, a new Email ready in it's inbox....

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Sadei sounded filled with gratitude. Thankyouthankyouthankyou! You don't know how much this means to me, Teri! It was clear that the staff didn't know what her past had held, but she was eager to find out what it was. As Tajuh led the way to what should be the hangar, they were greeted by a dark skinned man that delivered a salute which was returned by Tajuh.

"We're gathering the stray members of the Rising Dawn and beginning their transfer over to the Hagane for safety. Anything else we need to handle here?" After dropping the salute, the man gave a charming smile and offered a hand to Teri.

"I'm Second Lieutenant Coulange, and I'll go over those technical details on the Goddess when we're on board with you. That work for you, Miss Gravel, or would you prefer something a bit more private?"

Tajuh laughed. "Lieutenant, I think you should focus a bit more on your job and a bit less on the women. Honestly, priorities!"

Coulange dejectedly shook his head and gave an overly dramatic sigh. "Oh come on! I'm not even allowed a little bit of fun?"

Tajuh sternly shook his head. "No, Lieutenant. Now take us to the ship."

Rugal, Maj. Radcliffe

As Rugal made his way over to the rooms, he was intercepted by a fairly trim man with long dark blue hair.

[color=08457e]"Rugal, if you wish to head somewhere safer for your mental state, follow me. I'm Major Radcliffe, and staying out here like this isn't good for your mental health."[/color] The man was unaffected by the environment, and he led the way towards the Hagane.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange


The Cleric, after having walked a ways with the crew, finally felt the effects of the transporter fall away, and finally found her 'voice' again. Using a professional but friendly tone, she responded to the 2nd Lt, her 'voice' clearly coming from the Tablet on her hip,

[color=0E59E4]

"Going over the Schematics of the Goddess sounds like a great idea, sir. Now, before we do so, I will need to introduce you to someone key to the operations. Dimitri?"

[/color]

The Butler took over from there, [color=3897E0]

"But of course, Madam. Greetings, 2nd Lt. Coulange, my name is Dimitri. I am a low clearance AI, and personal assistant to User and Creator: Teri Gravel, 6th Level Cleric. I organize files, take messages and whatever other task is presented to me with the best of my abilities. As such, I shall take the role of 'supplemental AI' whenever her Ladyship needs to pilot the 'Goddess'. User: Tajuh has already forwarded me the technical aspects of this machine, and I will be happy to 'talk turkey' as it were, regarding the mech. Do you have any questions?"

[/color]

Garm sniffed the air near the Coulange and sneezed, no doubt from the light cologne being worn. With a light growl, the wolf positioned himself between his Pup and the Lieutenant. This was not the one who claimed to be his Pup's Mate. He did not need to speak to her with such similar tones.

Teri giggled at Dimitri's lengthy introduction and Garm's overprotective streak, giving the wolf a pat on the side,

[color=0E59E4]

"Calm down, you big fuzzball. He's fine for now."

[/color]

As Dimitri continued speaking with the Lieutenant, she continued speaking with Sadei, [color=0E59E4]"Just let me know how I can help, friend. You've certainly done a lot for me."[/color]

 

[mcpop9]

Alucard
As Bison wove his way through the labs, searching for the crimson fucker. He eventually found the vampiric asshole sitting atop a throne of nercomorph corpses with a wineglass that had something rather red inside it. "Soooooo. HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?" He asked.

[hr]
Dani made her way into the weapons pod lab and followed Viscus's instructions to the weapons delivery pod. She took off her clothing and slipped into the nano muscle suit. Then she began to assemble the components of her suit.

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange

The joy in Sadei almost radiated to Teri as she spoke to Teri again. Well, I don't really know what we can do, but perhaps we could try training in your mind? If we could get closer like that, it couldn't really hurt...

Coulange ran his fingers through his dreadlocks as he led the group to the massive carrier. "Hmm. I heard from the boss that you had an AI on that tablet of yours, but he didn't say how advanced it was. The wolf wasn't on the list, but there's space in the machine for the overgrown pup. There's not too much I can say about it here with the ears and all, but I'll show you and your friend Dimitri when we get in the Hagane's hangar."

THe group got to the main hangar of the Blue Dragon, and the battleship in front of Teri was massive. At 650 meters, this was easily larger than any plane Teri had ever seen, and the ruddy red paint scheme gleamed.

Tajuh looked at the carrier with a bit of nostalgic pride. "There she is, Teri. The Hagane. One of the finest ships you'll ever see, and one with a long history behind it. The others should be coming soon enough."

Coulange gave a suave smile as he bowed and motioned towards the ship's open boarding door. "After you, my dear little cleric."

Caim, Devon, and anyone else with the two <---- Teri, it's your choice as to how many others are there.

As Devon went along with Caim and Angelus while describing what what was going on at the AIM base, Caim felt something very odd in the area - the presence of someone not much stronger than a normal human on the Blue Dragon.

Noting the man pausing, Devon stopped the description of the scene and turned to Caim in curiosity. "Caim, is something up?"

Right when the two paused, they could both swear they heard the quacking of a duck.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Teri looked at the ship in a mixture of awe and surprise. Not that she had really been flying before (save for the Rising Dawn and Angelus), but the ship looked massive in comparison to others planes she had seen before. Following that, and the comments on Coulange's part, the Cleric merely shook her head and corrected him with, [color=0E59E4]

"Tajuh did inform me that there would be room for Garm and Dimitri. Great news, really, I don't like the thought of being to far away from them... And no titles, please. My name is more than enough!"

[/color]

Ah, that one flew over the Cleric's head! Proceeding inside, Teri sent back to Sadei, [color=0E59E4]"Whenever I can get into a room for some moment's respite, I will be more than happy to start. It seems my mind may be the weakest part of me after all...."[/color]

Caim, Devon, and anyone else with the two <---- Teri, it's your choice as to how many others are there.

Caim looked around with curiosity, trying to pinpoint exactly where he had heard the 'quacking', when Angelus pointed in a direction and said, "I smell fear coming from there... Or is it human urine? I was always get the two confused..."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Akane rested on her knees as she held her stomach. Funnily enough, her Author was beside her, clutching his guts as well.

"Looks like both of us don't like teleports... Serves me right I guess... Why the fuck does my head hurt and everything feel blank..." Jake groaned.

Akane just kept staring at the floor, hoping it would stop moving soon.

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Tajuh looked around the clean interior of the ship then looked at the three. "Lieutenant, if you're planning on taking her there, now would be the time. I've got plenty to handle myself, and there's a few things you're going to have to be aware of with that machine. Dismissed!"

As Tajuh made his way to the bridge, Coulange confidently guided Teri to the hangar of the Hagane. It would appear much larger if it weren't for the myriad machines that were encased within. after a short while, he guided her to the machine that had been shown in the video.

Spoiler: Teri's machine

"There she is. The boss went and told the tech crews about your magic, and they worked a bit out so you could cast your spells while in it. THere's going to be a bit more strain on you, but you'd still have those on board weapons systems. Even without that, I'm gonna be out there to watch your back! Lucky, eh?"

Caim, Devon, and Angelus

Devon could only nod his head at Angelus' statement. "Wow, you can really smell that well? Must be a dragon thing, but there's lots of areas where that sense of smell must suck."

Right after that statement was finished, almost all of them could hear a fairly average man's voice shouting. [color=f88c2c]"Oh my god, that chick's a dragon! I mean, QUACK!"[/color] The group immediately closed on the voice and saw a short man wearing a orange martial arts outfit.

Spoiler: The man

Devon looked down at the fairly short man in amazement. "How the hell did you get here?"



Jake, Akane, Lt. Cmd Browning

The dazed and nauseous pair were approached soon enough by a tall man with gray hair in an officer's jacket. "You two may be feeling ill, but you need to follow me to the Hagane. There are already enough issues here as-is without more being stirred up. Besides, Akane, there was word of the two known as Aftan and Gabrielle looking for you, and Jake needs to go over some technical information. In case you weren't paying attention earlier, I am Lieutenant Commander Browning, the acting captain of the Hagane. However, my commander advised that the command of the ship's actions was to shift over to you." The man knelt down and lifted the two up, and Jake had the gut feeling that this was one of Gilliam's men.

Spoiler: Lt. Cmd. Browning
