Umm it was my attack how should you decide how it hurts you? Can youmu ignore physics? because I was going on the fact that instead of cutting Youmu I caused blunt trauma which would knock over anyone WHO ISN'T ROOTED TO THE GROUND
also I'm just trying to Wrap it up as Rhianna should be running low on stamina by now,
...because I'm pretty sure Youmu also delivered some blunt trauma, and Rhianna is still standing up just fine, despite being 'fatigued'. Care to explain how that's not 'breaking the laws of physics', but Youmu not falling over in much the same case is? And don't blame it on her being on one foot because I already said she can manage that just fine.
I didn't say she didn't fall I just said she Regained her balance, meaning she could have fallen over but just got back up, But I didn't want to completely control Youmu I don't know how agile she is. Now lets not get into this I really don't want us arguing especially when I think our characters are seeming to really bond.
After Tomoya and Jack inspect Richard Nixon's evil plan they plan to make contact with the airship and Jack is fiddling with a computer "Okay it seems we somehow turned off the power, let me see if I can..." as Jack finishes saying that a computer generated voice speaks over the intercom "Purge is now completed, it is now safe to resume orders" "Well least thats good" Tomoya makes a smart comment, Jack taps some buttons and says "Should I send out a long distance radio message to contact the airship?" "yeah, lets only hope that Ryan picks up" Tomoya says as well.
Meanwhile on the ship
Youmu and Rhianna where about to finish each other off when suddenly an alarm and a automated computer voice playing over the speakers "WARNING, incoming message" and the two rivals stop.
Okay Im just going to get you guys to stop fighting now before you actually kill each other, and wasnt each post suppose to move the plot?, anyway lets move onto DC and the climax.
'Regained her balance' usually means someone leans really far to one side, including backwards, but pulls themself upright before they fall over. And another thing: "A bit of storm flames however did transfer hurting Youmu's sword arm" Please explain how you think you're justified to control Youmu in that case?
Screw this. I hate that we're arguing again after we'd almost made up, but maybe I shouldn't be trying to restrict you. Either way, I'm tired of this, so why don't just call the whole damn thing off?
Youmu heard the siren and was distracted by it, but looked back down as soon as she noticed her arm was hurting a lot more than before. The flames had somehow worked their way up to her arm faster than she expected, and the sudden rush of pain caused her to lose her grip on her sword. She smacked herself in the forehead, unable to take how stupid she'd been with that. Swearing loudly in Japanese, she reached down to pick up Hakurou off the floor.
Unfortunately, the flames were still there, so when she touched the hilt her entire arm started burning again, and this time it didn't stop. Looking down, she saw that the flame had started using her arm, instead of Hakurou, as its host. "Nice work," she said to Rhianna, gripping her arm. "You've just managed to permanently disable the use of not only one of my swords, but also my sword arm. I hope you're happy with your permanent victory." She pulled off her armour piece, walked over to Roukan and slung it back over herself. "What do you want to know? And make it quick."
Great timing there. I'm still leaving this at that, though.
I did that on purpose, although mostly it was to spite Orinon. Also, he didn't say that the passive flames were one of his abilities, so naturally they're beyond Ryan's micromanagement...unless he decides to instantly resolve that, too.
And my comment about 'great timing' was referring more to how you got between me and him. I also edited my last story post to include your signal.
Rhianna smirked out of victory.
"That went on longer than I thought thou luckily The medical bay should take care of your arm."
"How long will I be out of action."
"Not long, my body was disintegrated to the bone but I was only out for a few hours. Though I was only out or an hour, so you should be fine. I'll save my questions for later."
Rhianna the supported Youmu taking her to the medical bay, picking up Youmu's sword, once She laid Youmu into a recovery chamber Rhianna the absorbed her Storm flames out of the blade, luckily she had merely coated the blade so it suffered no damage. Rhianna to it to the engineering bay particularly a steam forge, a machine designed to Forge and Re-Forge a sword using steam, most blades that went in came out stronger and sharper.
Rhianna Also put in her armor, she wanted to be prepared for whatever Was thrown at her.
I really don't want Youmu to have to suffer just because of Rhianna's little duel so she can practice for her Quest to Be the most arrogant Cyborg with a sword EVER
Aaaaaaaaaand Orinon just instantly cleared up all the conflict that could possibly be created by one of the group being nearly useless.
Great storytelling skills there. I can see you've been writing some really good stuff for this collab for the last very long time, and possibly even written some proper stuff that might go against Sturgeon's Law.
Another thing: "so she can practice for her Quest to Be the most arrogant Cyborg with a sword EVER" Who is this talking about?
She intends rto get into 100 sword duels, and will then call herself the Sword Empress, She's a cyborg with a sword and once that 100 duel thing is over she'll have a large amount of Pride.
Can we just...chill. We're going to DC now, I'd like to enjoy this final conflict without arguing. Can we please just suck it up, put it all behind us, and move the plot forward? Please?
Zero jolted awake at the siren. He checked himself and realized he'd been asleep longer than he thought. He swung his legs over the bedside and left the room, running over to the com to check said message.
"This is Zero."
"Zero, why are you there? Where's Ryan?"
"Ryan?" Zero paused and looked around the room. "...I don't know."
"Then where's everyone else?"
"Fighting, sleeping, just hanging out I suppose. What is it?"
"It's about DC." Tomoya began "We've been trying to find the villains, but instead we ran into more...trouble. Nixon's baaaaaack--" Jack coughed in the background, interrupting Tomoya's reference, "...with an evil plot, and I think now's a good time for you guys to come in for the final conflict. Relay this to the others when you can, got it?"
"No need. We've been talking on the intercom." Zero had pressed it when the call began so there would be no information exchange later.
"Alright then. Get here as soon as you can. Tomoya and Jack out." The call abruptly ended, leaving Zero to his business. He went to the lobby to wait for the others.
Instantly clearing up any source of conflict created by anyone other than you is not good collaborative work, and isn't that exactly what this is? Collaborative mega-crossover fanfiction?
In any case, depending on exactly how long Orinon intended the healing sequence to take place, Youmu might be out of action for a while. Based on what someone other than the person with Youmu as their avatar said.
...You know what I said just before? Hold that thought for a bit. I'll make another story post after everyone else heads down to the ground and leaves Youmu to recuperate and stay out of all the good bits.
Tomoya and Jack are once more playing around with the consoles to see if the enemie left anything that the heroes can use to their advantage. Tomoya's power level was still at a minimum level but he still had enough enegy to move around and he was trying to find a way to restore his powers, "Great!" Tomoya shouted "What is it?" Jack spoke, "The rector, I have finaly found it" Tomoya comments again "Why do we need to go there?" Jack asks "Not us, me, I have to refuel my power since I havent been around many electricity supplies to keep fueling me to a acceptable level" Tomoya throws back at him "what about inside here, shouldnt this be enough to restore your power" Jack questions again "This place is enough to keep me moving but not enough for me to be fully powered, So im going to head off there now, try to find something important or wait until the other guys arrive" Tomoya yells off as Tomoya walks down a hallway to the reactor.
When Tomoya had went his way to the reactor, Jack found something that would prove to be their most useful weapon against this upcoming fight.
Somebody make something up because I am going to re-fuel my character and mabey make something happen to him. Will it be a nuke, missile or a damn weapon that might kill everyone? Thats up to you.
and also thanks XI, for making the plot go along.
Two hours after Ken fell asleep, he was being shaken awake. "Come on man get up, it's your turn to do patrol," he heard Justin saying. As he started to get up, alarms started to blare in his helmet. "Alarms off," he said almost immediately so he wouldn't go deaf. "What was that for?" asked Justin. "Apparently about 20 people in a circle formation walked past the sensors that I set up," replied Ken as he got up now fully awake.
"How long until they hit the trip mines?" asked Justin in a dead serious tone. "I would say right about now," replied Ken calmly. Not long after he said that about 10 mines went off around them which set off the other trip mines. "I set them up so that if one goes off they all go off. Anyway we still have about ten of them we have to deal with and I'm guessing their heavily armed," he said as he saw two rockets headed their way. Ken immediately put up a shield with his powers around the camp and stopped the two rockets. "Its going to be a long night," said Justin.
Hey Orinon, I have a friend who seems to exhibit the same behavior as you. When he screws up something, he can't go through with it, he has to fix it when confronted. Then becomes confused on what to do.
He cannot read subtle clues.
So I am asking, is this a problem for you? If so it must be corrected immediately. Just go with what happens, you should not try and fix everything that happens. Let the narrative flow, and feel the writing.
Do not fear punishment. Work as your character, not with it. Try to stray away from McGuffins that fix anything inexplicably.
Essentially, stop trying to control the world.
It seems that the villains are much more in consensus than us. Take cue from them, how they collaborate. They never become taken aback do they? They apologize in context for their actions.
Real conflict grows characters, staged conflict makes them look cool. Remember that.
IC:
Alice sat on her bed biting her lip, the message had reached her, they were going to D.C. Still emotion clouded her mind and through what mind she had into turmoil. The memories she had been living became more and more twisted as she relived them.
First it was small inconsistencies, then people she knew started to become faceless, now entire sections are blank and being filled in by her own insanity.
"Alice, we have to go, this place is no longer safe."
"This ship or this world."
"Talk later, we are joining up with the rest of the Heroes.
BlackHarte enveloped Alice into his own form and detonated into a purple subspace tunnel.
---
Tomoya's pipboy suddenly went wild, radiation count soared much higher than it could have displayed. Lighting and wind swept across the inside of the building and exploded with radiant darkness.
Alice waved to Jack and Tomoya atop BlackHarte's neck, "How're you guys doing?"
The airship made it' way to DC
"Luckily We can get all the way to Raven Rock without worrying about any attacks short of a Tesla Cannon won't hit us and only the Brother hood of steel have that, and they're rare anyway" Rhianna was talking to Zero mostly to calm her nerves.
Zero Nodded
"So what's your plan?'
"Find Jack and Tomoya infiltrate the Villains Citadel and kick some ass."
"And if the base explodes? villains do that."
"Well I used to not know but I remembered I had something from way back>"
she then Pulled out a cyan gemstone the size of her fist
"It's called a Chaos emerald they have amazing powers, including teleportation, they can also Unlock hidden abilities
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because If something goes really wrong I want you to use it."
she then handed the Gemstone to Zero
"I can't use it, But you can."
I'm not afraid to point out that most of the friction among the heroes is based on me critiquing Orinon whenever he takes the reins. Sure, sometimes I do have a point that you'll even agree on (looking at you, 13's 14), but maybe I just need to back off and accept that not everyone is Shakespeare, least of all myself. I know I'm hardly perfect, particularly with regards to backstory from before page 209 or so.
One quick question, though: how long has Orinon been doing this, and is that time long enough for a 'normal' person to make really huge improvements on their writing skills?
A short time after her last contact with anyone else (through the conversation on the intercom), Youmu had gotten restless again. She knew that leaving the medical bay before her arm had somehow been cleansed of the flame would probably only make it worse, but there was something more important she had to find out. And she thought that the airship's data banks would have the answer.
Ignoring its protests, she left the wing of the ship, hoping that by now everyone else would be on the ground and unable to impede her. Heading for the bridge under the assumption that any main data storage would be up there, she suddenly caught part of a conversation. She didn't want to be caught, but stuck her ear up against the door anyway.
"Well, I didn't have a plan for that before, but then I remembered something I found a while ago," Rhianna said to the other person, whoever it was. "It's called a Chaos Emerald. They have amazing powers, including teleportation, and can also unlock some hidden abilities."
"But why are you telling me this?" Zero asked. Rhianna and Zero? Wonder if anyone else is there, or if they're all gone already? Despite the thought, Youmu resisted the temptation to stick her head inside.
Rhianna spoke again almost immediately. "Because if something goes really wrong, I want you to use it. I can't, but you can..."
Youmu had heard enough. That was interesting, but not what I was looking for... She headed towards the bridge again, hoping they hadn't noticed her at the hangar.
Justin reached into his bag pulling out several frag grenades pulling the pins and throwing them one after the other, towards the source of, missiles, plasma shots, and balls of fire.
"Where the hell did these guys come from" Justin said huddling behind Ken's shield as he conjured it back up, as the next barrage of fire power found their position.
"I don't know, they came from the direction of the Pentagon, maybe they are fan boys?"
"I don't recall any fanboys having this fire power" Justin said as Ken lowered his shield and Justin shot his rifle off blindly. Just thin Justin felt a horrible sick feeling. "WHERE'S GLADOS?"
Ken didn't know but couldn't say anything as he had to focus as the next wave of attacks were baring down on them. When Ken dropped the barrier Justin ran off, towards the tatters of his and Glados's tent.
"Justin come back! Justin! Damnit a-" Ken was cut off by having to leap out of the way of incoming plasma shots.
Running to the tent Justin looked in through one of the many large holes that had been made by the plasma shots. "Shit.." Justin swore under his breath not able to see anything in there other than a few duffle bags and the sleeping bags.
"We can't worry about this now, our life is in danger" said Ken who had managed to use his stealth boy to get to where Justin was without drawing fire.
"Well so is hers!" Justin yelled at Ken, the shout giving off their position and fire balls exploded knocking Justin to the ground. Ken went over picking him up and pulling Justin out of the way of the next incoming rain of fire.
"We kill these bastards" Ken said handing Justin his 360 controller "then we find your wife"
Justin looked up and saw that Ken was also pained by Glados's disappearance. He nodded as he took the 360 controller and started it up.
"Sounds good" Justin said loading up a his oldest Fallout New Vegas profile. Justin's body shifted and he was wearing Enclave "Remnants" armour, carrying a Heavy incinerator, and had a hateful look in his eyes that would melt power armour to goo. "You sneak up behind them I'll be the distraction. With that Justin put on his power helmet.
Population, the enclave (fallout 3 style of enclave AKA alighenment of "Stuipid Evil" while I'm wearing the New Vegas enclave armour, which looks diffrent kinda silly but also a bit more intimidating.
Villians have no base of operations here in DC, the Aperture Science center is... somewhere I wanna say like in europe cuz that seems nice.
Also, I'mm guessing this is a 1v1v1 "HeroesvsVilliansvsEnclave"
I doubt this little catch up was nessiary but its better to be prepared. Also the Villians are by the Pentagon aka the cititdal, raven rock is on the other side of the map.
Ken immediately cloaked and went to find a secluded spot to create his sword without being seen. When he found one he decloaked instantly and created a mini star in his hand then shaped it into a katana. Before he went back out he changed the color of his sword until it was pitch black and seemed to absorb the light around him. Soon he cloaked again and went to nearest source of enemy fire.
Ken dispatched his first foe by cutting him in half in a diagonal cut. He knew there would be no blood since his sword basically cauterized as it cut. As he looked around he saw that the other enemies had not noticed that one of their comrades were down. He quickly dispatched two before the enemy noticed that some of them were missing but couldn't stop firing because of the man that was shooting back at them.
Who: Captain of Enclave Strike Team 1
Location: Outskirts of Villain Camp
The captain didn't know what the hell was going on now. He lost over half his men to trip mines and now the rest had been wiped out by some unseen force. He had gone into hiding when the last of his soldiers had been killed in hopes that whatever was killing them wouldn't find him. As he sat there he radioed command. "Come in Citadel, this is strike team 1. Do you read, over?" he said into the mic. "Rodger, Strike team, this is Citadel. What is the situation, over?" he got back through the headset. "Everything is FUBAR over here. Requesting immediate evac. Repeat, requesting immediate evac, over," he almost yelled back. He didn't get a response back after that.
"Citadel, do you read. Citadel, do you copy," he yelled. "Funny thing about EMPs," the captain heard from nowhere, "You never know when you get hit by one." He saw a man in power armor emerge out of nowhere carrying a sword that seemed to absorb what little light there was. Suddenly he felt a burning sensation in his right arm but when he looked it wasn't there. "You will tell us where you took the woman, or I will make sure your death is the most painful thing you will ever experience in this life or the next," said the man as he held the sword at his throat. And with that the captain fainted out of sheer terror.
"Really? Oh...kay." Zero took the gemstone carefully, his scanners already decoding the strange object. He knew instantly that it wasn't from this world, like him, but something about it seemed...familiar.
The Chaos Emerald and Zero glowed for a bit, and the gem disappeared.
You Got: Chaos Control. Warps self and objects/people (optional) long distances, as long as the user can picture the spot intended. WARNING: Depending on distance of teleportation, power consumption ranges from 5% to 50%. Use wisely.
Zero blinked. "Huh. Looks like it'll take me a bit to 'unlock' all of its' abilities. But in any case, thanks. We should get going now." He and Rhianna promptly left the deck (not seeing Youmu), and to the opened door that led out to DC. As Zero exited, his survival protocol kicked in, and his body went rigid. His outside armor became resistant to the radiation around here, and his left gauntlet turned black, and transformed into his own Pip-boy. As soon as Zero snapped out of it, he looked at Rhianna, who had the same device on her arm. His status, list of usable powers, and even a small diagram of his internal skeleton and systems soon appeared on the viewing screen.
"Well alright then. Seems we've adapted to the new environment here." Zero said as he looked around the decimated remains of DC. He then looked to Rhianna. "I can't detect Alice or that dog nearby, and I haven't heard from Youmu. If you wanna wait for her, then that's fine. Otherwise..." he held out his arm, smirking a little. "I wanna test out this new power of mine."
He stopped there, patiently awaiting her response.
[small]Yay! Sonic powers![/small]
So...yeah. Looks like I got some new stuff. Since he's already got a smorgasboard of abilities I made it so that he can use the Emerald multiple times if the distance is small, but I'm gonna limit it to a few times so that he has enough energy to fight and get them out of a sticky situation. He can also retract the Emerald at will should anyone else want to try it. Other powers (Chaos Spear and such) ...I don't really plan on using unless absolutely necessary. So yep.
Oh and the last part is a question: Leet, are you in?
