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

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

Slindis immediately moved to intercept Storm and began fighting defensively, thinking of a way to break the control as she ducked, weaves, and darted around the blade slices. The punches she was throwing out may not have left much of a dent in the armoring, but but she was sure that the man inside was feeling the impacts of each punch as she took in the quirks of how Storm fought.

There had to be some small weakness she could pick up on here. After all, no prson was without weakness.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk
Teri shivered when she sensed something wrong in the air around Storm, particularly near his hands. Looking down at the blade, Teri gulped, not needing to be think or be told what Negative Energy was when she saw it, or in this case, felt it. Wobbling a little at the concentration of the stuff in her vincity; Teri forced herself to hold firm, and focused upon maintaining her aura, as well as motioning to cast a spell. After the spell was released, a spectral longsword appeared next to Dillon, and the VIJ, a blade that Dillon was uncomfortably familiar with. However, this time, it was acting in tandem with him instead of against him; and began attacking the masked boy with Dillon.

Teri casts Spiritual Weapon! A Spectral Longsword will aid Dillon in attacking the VIJ for 7 rounds, or 42 seconds! 12 seconds before the next level 2 spell can be cast.

As it did so, the Cleric shouted out, [color=0E59E4]

"Watch out for Storm's blade! That thing is dripping in Negative Energy and will REALLY hurt if you so much as bump that thing!"

[/color]

Garm maintained his guard over his pup, in case the one with the tainted blade drew too close.

Storm, Very Important Jerk
Storm made the most of the fact few could get past his armor, not willingly of course.
This allowed him to be far more reckless with his lunging as his slave driver dictated, trying to skewer the drow on the Energy Sword.
With every swing, it cut clean though the walls of the prison wing.
Then it hit her, if that can cut though walls that thick then surely it could cut though his armor.

The VIJ meanwhile had his hands full with Dillon, starting to struggle with the wound he cut across his chest.
So he decided to fight dirty, touching his hand on the ground, he laid a thick pool of darkness that coated the floor around them.
As it spread, he snapped his fingers and tendrils began to climb up from it, hoping to immobilize and bind Dillon for a free stab.
"I'm starting to think you under-estimate me!" He mocked as he then focused on stopping Teri's Spectral Longsword with Dark Excalibur while his tendril trap kept Dillon Busy.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon began to slice through the tendrils his wings spread out to keep them away from his body the glowing wings appeared to weaken these dark tendrils. The long sword kept the VIJ busy long enough for Dillon to slice enough tendrils to be free.
"Actually I was expecting you to pull a stunt like that." he said he used his wings to propel himself forward ending it with a (somewhat crude) roundhouse kick. The VIJ fell over, Dillon readied his blades. Being more clever this time he used his wings to stay floating a foot off the ground this meant he was tacking form a higher point meaning the Jerk had to raise his guard a bit too high to easily block an incoming low strike, and prevented any tendril tricks or being knocked over my a trip.

Storm, Very Important Jerk
As Slindis moved around Storm's attacks, the both of them were surprised to see two long shimmering strips of cloth wrap themselves around Slindis' hands. Said wraps were a light sky blue, matching the color of Slindis' outfit.

Spoiler: Turbulent Wraps

Spoiler: Her appearance

She felt the various chaotic energies intertwined within the wraps, but unlike before, they felt more refined. A few punches to Storm surprised her as the Spartan was able to feel them much more easily, and a few areas of frost clearly outlined where she had attacked.

The Girl led him back to the core room where Millardo Peacecraft was sitting witha towel around his shoulders and a cup of tea in his hands. Seeing the large beast, he set the tea down and quickly drew his fencing style saber, pointing at Phoenix from across the room. "What is that vile creature?" he demanded.

Dani quickly responded. "Millardo, calm down. I know you've been frozen for a long time, but everything has changed. I'm going to help him look human again, like he once was. He is not a threat to us, i just want to help him. Please sheathe your weapon." she asked him.

Begrudgingly, the man put his weapon back into its sheathe before finally sitting down once more and picking up the tea again. "I shall not let my guard fall, but i'll take your word Ma'am." The Gundam Pilot said then took a sip of his tea.

The stella bot then led Phoenix over to a chair that rose up out of the panels. "Please sit, i need to get measurements and scan your body."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Storm
Storm was still trying to get a decent hit on Slindis when the Handwraps came into play.
While he was protected from the blows for the most part, it was less then usual and sudden ice effect slowly made it harder and harder to move with every strike she got in, up until the stage the armor's Hydrostatic Gel and Reactive Metal Liquid Crystal Layer began to seize up, making it extremely hard to move.

Rugal was finally up and about, his fists bleeding from his earlier attempts to break though the Spartan's armor, and saw he was neutralized.
Walking up behind the frozen soldier, he undid the lock for his helmet, much to the delight of Alpha.
"Oh Thank you! I knew you'd all find a way to sav-"
As the AI talked, Rugal then spun the Spartan around and punched him in the face, knocking him out cold.
"...Him..." She finished as Rugal nursed his fist, that Armor was a lot stronger then anything else he punched.
"God, I HATE the ones with the really thick armor. Ahhh...This is going to scar..." He sighed as he examined his fist, now nearly cut to the bone.

Phoenix Nemesis

While he was still not sure if this wasn't just some attempt to get his blood or something and use it for some god awful weapon, Phoenix still sat down, albeit Slowly.
He remembered the man from one of the Stasis pods and he shuddered to think what he was shoved in there for.
Thus he sat back and waited...

 

[StormShaun]

Shaun, Storm-178, The VIJ & everyone else.
Location: Blackhawke | VIP Cell Block 1.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

The helmet the VIJ made was almost destroyed and thinking about his situation the masked man did the only thing he could with his infinite yet limited power. "Author power. Vhange!" the VIJ said in surprise, the black tendrils had turned into lightning. This lightning was not for attacking, the VIJ used the speed to move back in the hallway.

"Hm, my puppet ... no, my other brother didn't succeed. No matter ..." The VIJ pulled of his mask to reveal himself.

Spoiler: (This is either REALLY (anti) climatic or obvious) :P

Spoiler: Dark Shaun.

Name: Dark Shaun.
Age: Younger then his good older brother.
Race: Dark side of the soul.
Origin: Dark Thoughts.
Title: Master of Dark Tomoya.
Class: Dark Author.


color= gray

Clothing: Gray cloak and hood. Plus the stuff in the picture.
Apperance: In picture.

Power: Full Author powers and will use them to his full extent.

Weakness: Himself

Morality: Dark and evil.

Backstory:

The dark side of Shaun was born when he first moved to Australia.
Shaun attended year 5 of Primary school, he learnt, made friends and everything related to school.
Soon... soon he felt unconnected from the usual group of boys because they didn't like how he played video games.

Over the years of Primary School Shaun was bullied from insults to physical violence.
After he graduated from that school the smallest portion of his soul was turned to darkness.
The dark part of him grew up as Shaun went through High School and managed to survive.

Now Dark Shaun has become free in the AA world and vows to protect himself and kill everyone and everything against him.

"I still have HIM and this ship to kill everything" D.Shaun said in a clear voice but sighed shortly after. "For you who don't know me, I am Shaun Pittman ... Author of Tomoya and these other people." He smiled in a evil yet gentle way. When he said that a muffled yell could be heard from the prison cell next to him.

"Well ... I'm at least apart of him." He said stabbing the Dark Excalibur in the ground and leaning on the blade.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

"God, I HATE the ones with the really thick armor. Ahhh...This is going to scar..." Rugal sighed as he examined his fist, now nearly cut to the bone.

As Teri maintained her concentration on the Spiritual Weapon, she waved Rugal over, calling, [color=0E59E4]

"Get over here and it doesn't have to. Just don't break my line of sight with [u]that[/u] guy... I don't like where this is going..."

[/color]

Her Spiritual Weapon remained poised as Teri's hand hovered over Rugal's and Positive Energy flowed into the wound, healing it completely. An interesting fact Rugal noticed, was that it did not require an incantation like her normal spells. Odd....

Teri uses 8 points of her Healing Pool to fix Rugal's hand. 32 Points remain.

However, he also noticed the Cleric stiffened upon seeing the VIJ removed his mask. Almost like her wolf, her hackles seemed to raise; and she spat at the Shadow before her, the Spectral Longsword trained at the Shadow's neck, [color=0E59E4]

"Where is the real Shaun? Tell me quickly, Shadow, or I will not hesitate to stick this down your throat."

[/color]

Shadow? That was a familiar term for several involved. In fact, as they spoke, Our Dear Cleric's Shadow shook in anticipation, one part in excitement for a kindred spirit to come out and play, and the second curious about what the 'real Teri' would do about it...

 

[Orinon]

With Dark Shaun revealed and fleeing Dillon then turned his attention to the Elite he dived down and struck at the elite angel; who's armour was stiffened, As Dillon suspected the stiffened armour was weak, as he fell down the armour was cut severely, down the back.
Dillon went to work slicing up the backside of the angels armour, as a finisher eh sliced at the shoulders this cause the angels chest armour to fall off of him completely.
"I think you can handle it from here." he told Slindis smirking.
He went over to regroup the others.
"Anyone hurt?" he saw Rugal?s bloody hands.
"Ok stupid question."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

Rugal was taken back by the fact it was a Author who caused all this, Guess what Viscus said about Red Mage and how they needed to be freed from beings that would kill en mass on a whim was right after all.
"An Author?....Oh wow...You....I am so angry right now, I can't even...." He said as his face cycled though several emotions.
"Right...I am going murder you. Painfully." He bluntly said before running towards Dark Shaun, Slashing Aura ready for blood.

 

[mcpop9]

A large number of tentacle like wires came out and hovered over his body. They began to close in, but soon shot scanning lasers out over his body. They sat there gathering his dimensions asDani explained to the man what had happened with Phoenix.

Millardo stood up and walked over to Phoenix with pride and confidence held in his body. "I apologize for before, i was only recently thawed out from my sleep in cryo and my mind is not at its sharpest. However, i went into there because i felt i needed to protect and await my Master's return. Miss Glados and Master Justin went to sleep in there a long while ago and apparently haven't woken yet." The man explained then took another sip of his tear before setting the cup down on the plate her was holding.

"From what Dani has told me in the short amount of time, you've had it rough. I apologize for the unfortunate circumstances you were forced into. These sorts of things should never happen to anyone. Might i ask what has transpired in the labs during my extended leave? you seem to have been here longer than anyone else here."

In the background, The stella bot was surrounded by wire tentacles reprogramming her and changing things in her.

Post moved.

Shaun, Storm-178, Dark Shaun & everyone else.
Location: Blackhawke | VIP Cell Block 1.

Dark Shaun was surprised at the cleric's question. "... really ... really!" He said as his head wondered around looking at the environment. "This IS a prison bay." He smiled as he looked to the cells on his right. "The bad thing is ... this is MY ship." D.Shaun said as the environment's aura changed.

Smiling as Rugal charged the shadow Author waved his hand.
"Summon."
Was the only word he said and a shape of metal stopped in the path of Rugal.
It was a cross, yet there was blood on it. Rugal should of recognized it easily.
"I was saving this for you, something you used to caused pain to two people!" D.Shaun said as he looked ahead at the group, wondering what he can do. He knows that Tomoya already betrayed them, but what can he do.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Phoenix Nemesis Note: Speech in {} is un-translatable

Phoenix went to answer the man, but from the moment he started, it was clear he wasn't going to understand a thing from all the growls and grunts he made while speaking.
{Well, from what I gathered, this place went bust until a man named Wesker took over and...did...this to me. He lorded over the place for a while until he was blasted into space or something. Since then the place has fallen into disrepair and monsters took over it, they were only cleared out recently. Now I just want to get the hell out of here and go home if I even have a home to go to.}

Thus, Millardo just stood there with no idea what the hell he was saying.

 

[mcpop9]

"Right..." He said.If you work on you pronunciation, i might be able to understand you. Might i suggest Rosetta stone?" He said then had some more of his tea. "Now, i'll bid you farewell, as i must go and check up on my Gundam, Epyon. She has been in cryo as well, to prevent rust damage. I bid you farewell." he said before departing.

The Stella bot had been finished and was stood up on its own. she was still trying to gain her bearings when soul walked in.

[small]"Oh god no..."[/small] Dani said as the wires around phoenix retracted and she sent the processing for the mask and cloak for him.

He walked into the room and looked at Phoenix and then at the newly born Stella. "Hi... I guess... If you're ok with it i think..." he said, his tone immediately making everyone in the room feel depressed.

Slindis delivered one last punch to Storm, although she made sure that said punch would only make him lose consciousness. As the man slipped, she removed the weapons that she could and moved them away from the man to see the cross pop up and saw the young elf drop from the ceiling vent. [color=c20000]"Melethia, keep calm. Rugal, you've changed We both know that!"[/color]

The young elf nodded as she went next to a deeply growling Lupito. "I'll calmly beat him into the ground, mom. It's the best you're getting."

"OH HELL NO!"

[/color]

Teri had long stop thinking of the Spiritual Weapon at this point, and auto-ed to be a bother to D.Shaun until it dissipated. In the meantime, her Tablet had begun floating before her fingertips as she rapidly began to type away. If he was going to play Author Hardball; she'd be happy to serve. With a hasty hit of the 'enter' key, the cross was hit with a bucket of water and began to rapidly corrode; falling to the floor in a pile of rust. Staring D.Shaun dead in the face, Teri's words were crystal clear as they rang from her tablet:

[color=0E59E4]

"You're not the only Author here, Shadow. Dad, have at him! Dimitri, find the location of the REAL Shaun."

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"Commencing scan now. I'll alert you when I get the first update..."

[/color]

Spoiler: Battle Music of the Determined Author

Angelus, Caim, Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Tajuh

As the group began traversing the halls, and said halls were getting smaller and smaller, Angelus had taken the down time to revert back to her human form; a change that was somewhat welcome to all. Not worrying about being crushed was a wonderful thing. As they rounded a corner, they saw as a smaller group was gathered around a passed out soldier (Storm), an angry Rugal and the Cleric... who's Tablet was floating? Of course, that's when they heard:

[color=0E59E4]

"You're not the only Author here, Shadow."

[/color]

Caim turned to Devon with shock and pointed,

"You know him? He certainly seems to know the Healer..."

"It matters not, Caim! What does is that we've a rogue Author on our hands! There's no time to waste!"

[color=15650D]"Right!"[/color]
"Exterminate his ass!"

And so, with the Cuties getting ready to deliver death from above, Angelus and Caim readied themselves to begin their frontal assault.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

The King of Fighters paused when the Cross came up, recalling that time he forcefully extracted Tomoya's power.
From the looks of things, it seems like the Author was just as upset about that was Tomoya was.
"...Oh crap..." He sighed as he backed slowly up, noting the dozens of needles that has dug into Tomoya's spine and body.
Lucky, Teri removed it from play with her own Author powers.
Following some words of encouragement from Slin, he barked back "Yeah, I mean, Sure, I should have been tied in a room and slowly drained of my essence for the rest of life. And I'd totally understand why I was there. But Noooooo...You had to bring everything else, Everyone Else into this because facing me like a man was too hard for you. Well, you want this blood? Should have got it yourself rather then have some Emo knock offs get it for you!"

Thus he pounced for the kill as everyone else went in to attack.

...Huh....this went a lot better in my head... the Dark Author thought before set about trying to fight the incoming characters, failing in his task as he was stuck by Rugal with a large hook first, which sent him into Caim's Sword, Angelus's Fire, Ton-Ton's Knife, Cadolbolg's claws, Teri's Spiritual Weapon, Dillon's Sword and so on.
All of them descended on the author in a horrible flurry of attacks, none of which stopped and asked themselves:

Why would a Author let himself be imprisoned on his own ship? The Answer?
As Rugal laid the last hit on the Author, they found out why.

As a rather cruel "Fuck You", he bound a copy himself to his Good side, whatever he felt, his other-side did too.
And he watched it all on the cameras, Rugal bashing the copy's face in, Shaun reacting to it on the other.
"...More popcorn Tomoya?"
"Yes Master, Got any salt?"

This went on until Dimitri found Shaun's cell open and the writer trashing on the ground in pain and feeds from the other-side of the ship showing Dark Shaun and Dark Tomoya...
[color=3897E0]

"....Oh my-MY LADY! STOP THEM RIGHT NOW! THAT IS NOT THE REAL DARK SHAUN!"

[/color] He shouted as Teri as Rugal gleefully strangled the copy's life out, unaware he was also killing someone else.[/quote]
