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

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

As Rugal ordered his Anti-Magic Field turned on, a giant iceberg teleported right in front of his SkyNoah airship! It began to fall out of the sky, only for a giant lazorbeam to blast out the back of the iceberg and propell it straight at the SkyNoah!

ON the iceberg itself, Black Mage stood at the rear, his hands holding a perfect HADOUKEN! pose and the giant lazorbeam spewing forth from them. Red Mage tapped his staff on the ice and huffed. "Can't you steer this thing straight? We're going to miss the giant Airship!"
"I'm.....BUSY!" BM said through gritted teeth. He was summoning a half decent amount of energy and it required concentration.
"Oh right, I can use fira blasts to steer us. I do believe two on the starboard side should do the trick." with that RM tapped his staff twice and held his palm up, firing the two blasts and shifting the massive iceberg back on course to hit the SkyNoah.

On the bridge of the SkyNoah, a deck officer looked on his radar in worry. "SIR! The iceberg has adjusted course and is coming right at us, on a COLLISION COURSE!"
"SO MOVE US OUT OF THE WAY IDIOT!" Rugal shouted back, enjoying his bottle of fine red wine.
"But they're matching all my corrections sir!"
"OH dammit, do I have to do EVERYTHING MYSELF?!?!? Keep the ship straight and level! I'll be back!" Rugal ordered as he moved to the main window of the bridge. He looked out to see Red Mage standing at the tip of the Iceberg, his cape billowing in the wind and his staff planted at his side. Rugal took a few steps back and then ran at the glass full pelt.

Rugal smashed through the glass like a charging bull and flew through the air, his right arm drew back to deliver a massive punch to the waiting Red Mage. RM smiled as he brought his staff up high and then smashed it down onto the Iceberg before Rugal got close enough to strike. The Iceberg shattered into a thousand pieces before Rugal's eyes, which were now widening in surprise. RM and his piece fell to earth as RM struck an awesome pose and teleported away.

Black Mage however, was not so lucky. RM had failed to tell him of his plan, and with the Iceberg shattered Black Mage had nothing to anchor himself to so as to remain stationary whilst firing his Hadouken. Newton's Laws of Physics took hold instantly and propelled him at high velocity into the unsuspecting and surprised Rugal. BM didn't think of shutting off the Hadouken, and it propelled them both back into the Bridge of the SkyNoah, with Rugal hitting the wall first. BM's Hadouken stopped as his pose was broken by the force of impacting into Rugal into the wall. BM landed with his arms and feet splayed out and Rugal slid down the wall, more stunned than anything else. As Black Mage got to his feet Red Mage teleported in next to him.

"Wait what? I HAVE AN ANTI-MAGIC FIELD UP! THAT'S CHEATING!" Rugal Roared as he got to his feet. RM threw his cloak back as he drew his sword and moved into a defensive pose. "Well, Black Mage here has a Chaos Force Energy I can home in and teleport to, and I passed both my Fortitude and Ignorance-Is-Bliss checks to teleport in. I didn't know you had an Anti-Magic Field up until I tried to teleport in, which I then passed using the Ignorance-Is-Bliss check."
"But how? THAT MAKES NO SENSE AND IT'S STILL CHEATING!"
"Simple really. I rolled natural 20's." RM replied. BM drew his favourite stabby dagger and moved beside RM as Rugal faced them both down.

"Well, sucks to be you two, cause I'm a King of Fighters. And you two are mages, with no tough guys to protect you. So, I'm gonna beat you to up and win now, okay!" Rugal delievered as he stepped forward to attempt to beat the ever loving shit out of the two mages.

Spoiler: @Jake

Godmod much?, okay I'll play along but as the arc's main Villain, I can't be stopped/beated/killed until the Final Battle, I spent the past week building up to it and fecked if I'm letting it go to waste, plus I'll told StormShaun I would let him lay the finishing blow, seeing as I petty much kicked his charater's ass earlier, it was worth it... also, how do you get Vid's on these forums?

The Two Mages Charged power, preparing to blast Rugal back to hell.
"Make your move, for I have already made mine..." Sneered Rugal.
The Mages then fired a Massive Hadouken and a Huge Fireball at Rugal.
Rugal grinned at the incoming barrage and held his forearm in front of him.
"Dark Barrier!"

Spoiler: Visual Aid

The two projectiles bounced off and went straight back at their Casters.
The two Mages froze for a second and barely managed to avoid the ensuring blast.
Rugal laughed "You call that a attack?, THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!!"
Rugal held his hands behind his back and started charging his own fireball.
"KAISER...WAVE!!!"

Spoiler: Visual Aid

Dillon was debating with Eddie about who did better.
"Look, all I'm saying is your song isn't that impressive it's hard to hit all the strings but there's no interesting melody, its the same damn thing for a whole minute, mine at least changes up the tempo."
Eddie wasn't going to stand for that.
"I have one hundred times the skill of you, I'v destroyed castles with my music. How dare you suggest I lost a Rock off."
Dillon face palmed
"I don't have time for this shit."
in a fluid quick motion his katana had reformed, an the blade was at eddies throat, Dillon needed only to move his wrist ever so slightly and Eddie would have his throat slit, or if Dillon really pushed he could cut off Eddie's head. if Dillon was pushed in any matter Eddie would suffer a laceration o the throat. Dillon's eyes burned with madness
"Now tell me how to stop Rugal RIGHT NOW and you might keep your head."

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: OOC

Welp, looks like everyone is giving Chillz the middle finger in terms of being non combatants... Might as well join in again.

The dragoness took advantage of the distraction and said to Caim, "Caim, I am about to take off. Hang on tightly!"
Caim grabbed tightly to the dragon's neck, and the dragoness took to the skies again. Caim was starting to regain his vision; but the dragoness kept well out of the way of the battles. A blind man had no place in combat.

 

[mcpop9]

Akasumi was now sitting on the water watching the battles in a blank stare. she felt something in her pocket. Pulling th object out it was a scroll. upon opening it, she found it read: Chaotic Neutral.
"Aww, and here i thought i was a hero. Oh well.. it's in my best interests to help them now so i might as well..."

She took a few more bites off the giant swordfish, the poor thing squirming and trying to get away. Akasumi began to spin, holding the swordfish by its tail. releasing it at the perfect moment, she threw it up at the airship like its a missile.

Spoiler: ooc

Yay for open ended attacks!

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Suddenly seeing Akasumi about to throw the massive swordfish, she ran past Eddie, Dillon and Tomoya on the stage. Her plan had suddenly changed: she wouldn't wait too long to meet Rugal in person again. Almost as soon as it left Akasumi's hand, she jumped up onto the swordfish. She wasn't that heavy, but if it became an issue, she could easily 'bounce' the rest of the way to the airship...

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal dusted himself off and pulled out his phone and Linked into the intercom "All men, SkyNoah's defences Have been beached and we may start seeing some action soon so everyone get to your battle stations!"
He hung up and checked the progress meter: 78.5723%
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the bottom level, Troops began arming the turrets.
"C'MON C'MON, lets keep it mo- is that a flying...swordfish?"
"Huh...not for much longer!"
The jock Trooper swinged the turret over and fired a barrage of hot lead aimed right the sword fish and Youmu.

 

[mcpop9]

Akasumi had managed to get ahold of a beluga whale by her sand. spinning again, she threw this on up at the airship too. it was soon followed by a great white that apparently came out of nowhere.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Whoa!!! 3'o clock" the trooped yelled.
The rest of the men on that level joined in and soon the airspace around SkyNoah became a massive meat grinder.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

The trooper's weapon was large and powerful, but not particularly easy to aim or accurate at full-auto. Few enough bullets came anywhere near Youmu for her to get worried, and she could easily cut down the few that got lucky one-handed. Akasumi's throw had been aimed right at the ship, though, and the weight change was enough for the fish to stop just short.

As she'd planned, Youmu jumped across to the side and up onto the deck, kicking the turret gunner over the side as he tried to bring his gun back to bear. Something felt different in the air, but she didn't pay it any mind, until her next slash only went about halfway into the guy she'd aimed it at. It didn't take long for the confusion to break itself: there was a magic-suppressing field here.

Well, no matter, she thought, using the still-stuck Roukan as a platform to do a single handstand and kick a third enemy in the sternum. I'll get the job done anyway, right? Most of the others had run, wanting to alert Rugal to the intruder's presence. As far as she knew, the deck was clear, so she went below and started looking for Tomoya.

 

[mcpop9]

With the whale carcass absorbing the bullets for the shark, there was a great puff of smoke. The shark turned into Akasumi who dashed on top of skynoah, disabling the turret nearest her in the confusion as another whale fly's up into the grinder. her cloak appears as she goes into the sharingan.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Tech: Divert power from the Angel into the Anti-Magic Field and whatever power comsuming machines you can find and MAX them out, also lock down ALL access to the Angel aside from mine, we're running of time...".
The light's in the area flickered as Rugal's orders were relaid across the AirShip.
The Progress Meter rose to 86.3424%.
"This is going to cut it close..." He said as he went down to the Prison Bay. "All unit's, DEFCON 1!, show them whatca got!"

Spoiler: READ ME

Rugal will be in the prison bay, so no-one will fight him until later, Give every-one a chance to get on SkyNoah before going for O.Tomoya, got a final showdown planned >=), signing off for the night

 

[StormShaun]

The human half of Tomoya was nowhere to be seen after Youmu has passed him, but actually, he was climbing the Skynoah, he was now hanging onto a ledge. "No one....ever,...steals my body!" Tomoya says as he flips himself over the edge and onto the ship's deck, but there were guards waiting, "SOMEONE GO AFTER THAT *****!" One guard yelled.

Tomoya pulled out his sword and used his stone to electrify it, the guards noticed his presence and turned around, "WAIT, isn't that the guy in the prison bay" One man asked the other guard, "THEN WHO IS THAT" one man yelled, "Your worst nightmare!" Tomoya said with a smirk as he launched into the air and slammed into the middle of the battalion of guard and started blowing them away.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon had temporarily dispatched of Eddie, it was somewhat gruesome and out of good taste it shall be left unspecified.
Dillon's crest had deformed, the lines were clearly not parallel, the bottom was close together and the top ends of the line had moved apart, also the horizontal bar connecting the two had lowered in the middle. He worked his was up to the Skynoah, something was drawing him to it, for some odd reason a chain had dangled low enough for him to reach, and now he was climbing up it.
His insane grin filled his face, his yellow eyes darted this way and that, the canines had remained. as had his unusual clothes his katana was normal however. Dillon climbed up to the actual ship and got himself inside.
"now what should I do first? should I go after Rugal, or perhaps I should see if I can make this ship crash into the ground, maybe it'll have a self destruct, that'll be fun." he said all of this to himself.

In his head there was a problem.

Dillon looked up at his twisted form, Dillon seemed to have shrunken and was being held down by some black chains.
"this wasn't the deal, you would take the lead and I decide if I follow."
"I've never broke our agreement, I am taking the lead, and You followed me all the way to a point of no return. there's no turning back anymore This is my body now, all I had to do was get rid of those petty morals. now we can both be happy.
"I'm being pulled down, how am I happy?"
"because I'm you, I've always been a part of you, I'm that sinister voice that tells you to indulge, and you love to let me out, your little morals may have held me in line before but now that they're gone, I can take my place meaning I'm running this town. I'm not without mercy I'll bury you deep down next to her."
"wait bury, NO you can't make me forget that, that's important to me, I don't wan to forget her." Dillon begged tears rolled down his face, a single tear fell down Dillon's actual face.
"Now that's not my style at all, it was definitely one of the most painful times ever, and I'm not one for holding a burning iron. besides once I've gotten rid of her you'll never worry about me again."
Dillon sank through the floor his will had been beaten out. and soon the things that he treasured most would be gone forever.

In the real world Dillon had begun to laugh, it was an insane laugh, there was no humor in it, it was the sound of reason dying. his crest burned hot, he looked to see it looked like an upside down A. he laughed some more, a part of him was dying and all he could do was laugh.

Spoiler: Dillon's struggle

I notice that the main conflict is getting close to a conclusion so in an effort to make it crazier Dillon is now coming close to his own. well not really, the basic gist is his evil side is now at the control, and some weird magic thing is going to be needed for him to get back to normal, (as in before the inner conflict started.) I do have a plan for said conclusion but at the moment Dillon is pretty insane so he'll be more of a hazard for all then hero or Villain.
Also since I'm playing my own character bits of this conflict get really personal, I'm trying to reduce it because of obvious reasons. Just don't try to apply a magic bandaid and say fixed okey dokey?

Spoiler: Edit effect of my post

In case if it's really hard to tell what my post implies to the overall arc, it means that Dillon is sorta out of the game for a while he may be moving but his actions could easily harm the heroes as much as they could harm the villains. and until the heroes have the time to enter Dillon's psyche and give him a hand he's stuck like that.

 

[bluerocker]

The dragoness watched the boy with the yellow eyes laugh and laugh. It reminded her faintly of how Caim was when the blood lust overcame him. She gave a small shudder and checked on her partner. She could tell that his eyes were getting better, but she wouldn't let him on the ground just yet. She followed suit with the other heroes and began to blast the sky fortress; rubble falling in her wake.

 

[Orinon]

Now that Dillon had succumbed to his evil side he wanted one simple thing.
Rugal seemed to be the cause of this whole mess, as such he wanted to meet him in person.
Dillon could somehow sense Rugal's presence he made his way to the prison bay, no hero followed him, they were to busy in the fight.

As he walked down the hall a troupe of guards tried t stop him
"Time for a blood bath." Dillon smiled

Spoiler: Madness

Dillon slashed through the first guard, cutting his body right across his stomach; he grabbed two others and smashed their heads together, breaking skulls. He did this while laughing to himself.
"Stop don't move or I'll shoot." a guard had raised his gun.
Dillon kept laughing before throwing his sword; the guard got out of the way but in doing so he had looked away, when he looked again Dillon had disappeared.
"Where did he go?"
Suddenly he was lifted bodily into the air, Dillon threw him against the wall, things broke, and it wasn't the wall. Dillon then lunged at the fourth guard who was paralyzed in fear; his teeth tore out his throat. Blood erupted covering Dillon face.
Dillon kept on laughing
"HAHAHA my my, Blood sure is hot, did you know that buddy?" he asked the last guard.
"Now hold still, I have a wife and kids."
"Then I'll save them for dinner."
Dillon flicked blood into the eyes of the guard as he finished clearing his vision he saw Dillon had regained his katana, his smile wide.
Blood spattered the walls.

Rugal heard a crashing sound as an intruder made his way to the cell. When Dillon finally crashed he was extremely unnerved
"What do you want from me?" he asked as he saw Dillon approaching
Dillon smiled
"Why I wanted to talk to you, your part of the reason I ended up this way."
Dillon had changed; he wore an all black suit, just like the one his twisted self had worn.
"Who are you; you're not Dillon at all."
"Well that's a good point I'm not the Dillon you would know, I'm a part of him, and some would call me his Id, an entity that is selfish desire. However since I'm in full control now I am not the Dillon you know I am a Dillon who has been consumed by his madness, and by his Id. And I may not remember specifically what gave me this strength but I know that you were responsible, I just remember feeling stronger than I had ever been before, strong enough to pull his super ego deep down where Dillon couldn't hear her, once I removed her it was easy to erase his morals, and slowly I took full control SO I guess your something like a father to me."
His grin was that of Randall Flagg's
"Congratulations Daddy I'm a real boy."

Spoiler: OOC

Don't kill Dillon or Rugal Right now they're going to have a talk, as I said Dillon is really messed up right now. So these two are going to talk, when all the heroes finally get to Rugal Dillon will have bail;ed to find a way to make the Skynoah crash, because he does that sort of thing.

 

[StormShaun]

The human Tomoya was running towards the prison bay, where the familiar presence drew him, "Barakiel, WHERE ARE YOU!" Tomoya yelled towards his angel self as he kept running towards the bay, cutting guards limbs off so that they may live.

As Tomoya drew closer to the prison bay he saw more and more corpses, the human version of Tomoya wondered what monster has caused this mess, then he remembered an evil presence he felt in Dillon.

Tomoya was just right outside of the prison bay where his other self, Rugal and Dillon are inside, Rugal and Dillon were talking, he decided that he would strike soon, when they are done.

Meanwhile in the prison bay

The angel side of Tomoya called 'Barakiel' still laid on the cross still, but as his other self came closer and closer, he began to wake up, and he knew what his other self was going to do, so he was going to play along.

Spoiler: OOC

Don't worry, I'll make that ship crash, but before that I'll let you talk.

And what Im about to do next is impossible to dodge to the villains since I got God modded kidnapped.

AND IM GONNA ENJOY IT!

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Youmu bust into the prison bay shortly after a somewhat-different-looking Dillon, who was already busy talking with Rugal. Deciding she'd probably get killed by the latter if she interfered (not knowing that the former would gleefully join in), she crouched behind a nearby crate and listened to the conversation.

"Who are you?" she heard Rugal ask. "You're not Dillon at all."

"Well, that's a good point," Dillon replied. "I'm not the Dillon you would know. I'm a part of him, and some would call me his Id, an entity that is selfish desire. However, since I'm in full control now, I am not the Dillon you know." Youmu gasped, quickly trying to smother it. So it's true, she thought. No hero really is incorruptible.

"I am a Dillon who has been consumed by madness, and by his Id. And I may not remember specifically what gave me this strength, but I know you were responsible." So Rugal did this? That means...what am I thinking? He's too far gone to bring back. "I just remember feeling stronger than I had ever been before, strong enough to pull his superego deep down where Dillon couldn't hear her." That doesn't sound good at all... "Once I removed her, it was easy to erase his morals, and slowly I took full control." It's so easy to get lost...especially when you're pushed off the trail. Wow, I really am getting into this 'hero' thing.

"So, I guess you're something like a father to me. Congratulations, Daddy, I'm a real boy," Dillon finished. Youmu had forgotten the context, and let out a much louder gasp. Immediately afterwards, she kicked herself. Stupid, stupid Youmu! Now they know where you are... She tensed up, ready to jump to another vantage point if either of the villains came near her.

Spoiler: OOC

Neither of you has to attack Youmu just because they know she's there. Aside from the psychological value of making her more and more paranoid, they could just not see her as a threat.

 

[Moros]

Being rich does have its perks, Matt thought to himself. For one, it allowed him to buy this secluded island away from everybody else. It also meant that he could buy expensive equipment to keep it that way. He had bought a couple of Patriot [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-104_Patriot] missile systems to make sure any hostile aircraft quickly disappeared. He even had them all automated and had a special iPad just to control them. He was also glad that there was enough room to build a runway for his Cessna 400 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_400].

As Matt walked down the beach of his island, he heard a strange commotion further down the beach. He soon came upon a stage set up across a clearing with some weird looking people around it. How the fuck did they get there? Me and the staff are the only people on this island, Matt thought to himself as he stayed out of sight. He looked up and saw a huge airship floating around a ways off the coast. Bringing up his binoculars, he recognized Rugal's logo painted across the hull. Well that answers that question. Now it's time to get rid of that damn eyesore from the horizon, Matt thought to himself as he brought up his iPad. He tapped the icon representing the missile site closest to the airship to bring it online. About 50 yards away in the dense foliage, hidden doors in the ground raised up to reveal an elevator carrying a PAC-2 missile launcher, ready to kill whatever was in it's sights.

 

[mcpop9]

Akasumi appeared in the room with a puff of smoke, on her back she had a gourd. "Damn it Dillon! every time i begin to like someone they always go cray. I know that's not the real one. You need to get this darker one under control. I know what its like to live with this monster inside of you." she said as her eyes watered.
