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

[Orinon]

Dillon laughed
"DO you want to wake up? very well allow me to assist you."
Dillon pulled out a gun and fired the bullet dug through the skull and into his brain.
Bruiser awoke feeling like he was on fire again
Red was snarling at him, Caim, blade looked ready to murder him
Dillon laughed, the heroes looked right at a glance but if you looked carefully, and knew what you were looking for, Caim looked uglier, his face was more like a dumb brute than a noble hero, Red had sharper features with no signs of any intelligence or kindness Blade eyes seemed to stare off as if he was dumb.
Dillon had put bruiser in a new illusion one that imitated reality, tricking someone into thinking they had awoken when they hadn't was one of the cruelest tricks because they would never again be certain if they truly awoke or were forever in a dream.
Dillon knew it seemed offensive to degenerate his friends liek this but it was his way of not faking for the illusions, He knew Caim was a noble warrior, he knew Red was also gentle and wise, he knew Blade was attentive and quick witted, and so these inaccurate portrayals were just close enough to fool someone who didn't know them, like bruiser, but it it made it clear to Dillon he was in a dream.

Dillon then tried to awaken himself but doing this by willpower was almost impossible luckily he had a backup plan, his golden iPod had been scanning for brain signals and was now displaying a wake me message

Late Post is Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate

Bruiser was again immobile thanks to Dillon's Genjitsu, But his clever tactic fell apart as Angelus was too blinded by rage to not attack the Machoke, Allowing him to awaken once again.
Going for the Helmet again, She tried to lock her jaws around Bruiser's head, but he saw it coming this time.
Managing to Roll out of the way, He leapt on the Dragon's Head and began raining blows to her face, his Super-Strength quickly taking a toll.
She trashed as she tried to dislodge the attacker, but was slowly worn down over the course of several minutes.

Then something strange happened.
Bruiser went to strike her face again, but his fist stopped a few inches from her face.
Like some kind of Barrier...
"Get your hands off her..." Jenny, now fully restored thanks to Daniel, Commanded.
Bruiser was confused at first, but her sudden appearance was enough to get him to leap off the Dragon.
"Wow...I really Clocked you, Didn't I?...I mean er..." He didn't finish, instead motioning to Angelus.
"Just...Kinda out of your league...Ain't ya?..."
"Once, I would have believed you..." She answered as she advanced, a firm look of determination on her face.
"Hey, Look, you want a Round 2, that's your Death Wish...." He retorted before the two walked towards each other.

Now Face to Face, Bruiser merely shrugged and said "What is this?...Face it, Punching Bag. Your Damaged Goods, Broken, We both know that...You want payback, Gonna end the same...Hell, Ask Toots, Ask The Mime, That Green guy I hit a Homerun with. Different Voice, Same Tune. I met Lamp Posts more useful AND powerful then you will ever be..."
Despite his hurtful comments, Jenny stood her ground a answered "I assure you. You will NEVER lay a hand on anyone Again. Period."
Bruiser fought back laughter and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Hey, Wadda Know? Little Miss Punching Bag made an empty-"
Jenny Used Psyshock


A Bright Flash filled the Area and blinded everyone in range.
Once their vision was restored, there was only Jenny standing.
With Bruiser's de-attached arms still on her shoulders.
It took sometime for the Bloodlust to fade in Jenny and was quickly replaced by horror at the severed arms.
She threw them to the ground before tripping and falling backwards, landing on the ground below.
And then, Jenny laughed.
".....heh....hehahahaha....Hahahhahaha...BLADE!" She then realised as she began to look for the Grovyle.

 

[bluerocker]

-Remind me not to piss her off...-

Angelus looked over the laughing Gardevior, and sent a jet of flame at Bruiser's remaining arms; turning them to ash. She gave 'sent' to Jenny, "He and Caim are unconscious. That... Thing, made sure of that. Come, we must take them to some medical care..."

With that the dragon flew upwards and gathered her battered pact-mate and Grovyle. Jenny and Dani followed in the light aircraft as the dragon carried the two brave warriors to the Rising Dawn.

-Several hours later-

Caim's eyes blearily opened as beeps from various monitors went off around him. Beside him, he saw that both Slaughterism and his family blade were leaned against the wall, as well as his PDA on the bedside table. A blond woman in red slept in a chair, leaning backwards, her head lolling in a position that looked extremely uncomfortable to Caim. Speaking of his head, Caim felt a splitting headache come on, and grunted lightly; his hand covering his face, feeling bandages covering his forehead and nose. Touching the areas didn't seem to help his wounds, and Caim let out another grunt when the pain washed over him.

"Hey, you finally woke up."

Caim uncovered his face, to see Blade in a sling. Reaching over to his right, he pulled out the PDA and typed,

"What happened? Where's the beast in the armor? Did we kill him? All I remember is the brute attacked Angelus, and I got mad; followed by some metal to my face..."

 

[Moros]

Standing before Lilly and Kazuya was a woman so beautiful that it seemed hypnotic. The woman before them began to transform into something. Large demon wings sprouted from her back and a pair of two foot longs grew from her head. "I must thank you for releasing me from prison. I think I'll use my new found beauty to steal the souls of men. But before I go there is something I have to tell you. The man who orchestrated all of this has the Sword of Armageddon. It is a sword created from the souls of 100 children and is indestructible. It has the power to unleash any natural disaster of any size on the world. It also has a nasty habit of turning the user into a demon with the power equal to the user's. I would tell you where he is but I am more grateful to him for bringing me back into this world than I am to you for this. With that, I must take my leave of this place," Lamia said before disappearing right in front of them. Suddenly the walking mountain began to rumble as it started to slowly come apart around them.

 

[bluerocker]

-Time for mommy to wake up-

Angelus' head moved slightly at Caim's thoughts beginning to come in, and her eyes shot open, looking bloodshot, which looked a bit unnerving combined with her already red eyes.

"Caim? You are awake?" A sigh escaped her, as she tried her best to crack her neck. A rather uncomfortable position she had forced herself into. She had been at his side ever since the Pokemon and Caim were taken to the med-bay; not that anyone really knew that... Sentiments aside, the dragon feared that her partner would be rendered comatose by the actions that had taken place that day. It would not be the first time she had encountered pact partners in which one had been made paralyzed in some way, with only time being the death of them; were their fate to be so kind. Never the less, the dragon was relieved.

Caim immediately gave a silent inquiry to the dragon as to the recent happenings during his time out; and was washed over with a small wave of the dragon's recent experiences. Caim seemed to take the recent mental influx a little more harshly than was typical of receiving memories from the dragon. Obviously, the repeated head trauma had made Caim worse for wear. Angelus was still scanning his end of things, mentally checking his faculties; which, for the most part, seemed to be doing well. He had obviously suffered a strong concussion; thus causing his blacking out, and the effects of it would last a little time. The dragon could only hope that his condition would improve quickly. Caim would hate to miss a battle.

Caim, however, was silently amused by his new look. It had been some time since bandages had been upon him, especially in this manner.

"Let him know I'm doing fine. My head hurts a little, but I'm alright."
"Liar. It is only your training that allows you to stay as silent as you are."
"Don't tell Cadolbolg that. Geez dragon, I thought you had more tact than I did. Ow!"

The dragon only sighed once more and relayed Caim's 'condition' to their son, and gave a light laugh when she saw him preform the fire rings again.

-----

Inuart and Legna had lost the scent of Puce and Kurumu long after they exited the Bay area, but were hunting around for rumors of the duo's exploits. Currently, they were looking into a British outpost for the Empire, in hopes of rumors of the two.

 

[bluerocker]

-Caim appreciates the buff-

The two 'parents' only looked at each other in confusion, and then back at Cadolbolg,

"Who... are you?" Angelus began, as she appreciatively gave her neck a good stretch. Caim was focused a little more on his head, and how happy he was that it didn't hurt anymore. Grabbing the PDA again, he typed,

[color=darkblue]"How are you talking through Cadolbolg?"[/color]

 

[mcpop9]

Daniel awoke after healing himself and passing out. Without using anything to heal himself besides his own desire to do so, it took allot out of him. Looking around, he saw what he could only guess were the remains of bruiser: two arms.

Walking over to them, he picked them up and focused on them. they were broken down and re-organized into metal, leaving no trace that they were ever even linked to him in any way shape or form. He tossed the metal in his bag and wandered off away from the others.

 

[bluerocker]

-WONDERTWIN POWERS, FORM OF INFO DUMP!-

[color=darkblue]"So you're the one that brings him back each time?"[/color]

"And you healed us, if only to placate Cadolbolg..."

"And you're Aftan's father? You seem alright in my book."

Angelus chuckled, and added, "So long as you don't override our son, save in dire emergencies; or in times of necessary communication, such as now, I don't see the problem. Do you Caim?"

The swordsman only shook his head, and held out a hand to shake with Arnal.

 

[Moros]

James was watching the monsters on the bank of monitors when an aide approached him. "Sir, the mercenaries in Russia have secured the packages and are now in Kazakhstan. They are wondering what their new orders are," the aide informed James. "Tell them to bring one of the packages here. Once that is done, give directions to the Outpost where they are to take the rest of them. They will be paid the 10 million once that is done," James finished explaining to the aide.

 

[bluerocker]

-snip snippie doo-

The two parents immediately took to awkwardness, as such things weren't exactly their area of expertise. As to Arnal's comments on a need for compassion, Angelus could not help but look at Caim, and lightly teased, "Sound familiar, Caim? Remember that one time you used your sword to save, rather than purely for the kill?"

The swordsman only frowned a little, and typed,

[color=darkblue]"Different styles, different ideas. Simple as that."[/color]

Now Caim felt himself out of his comfort zone; as brutality was a common (and effective) tactic that he turned to in battle. Only so much mercy Caim felt he could give before deciding that the sword was the best course of action.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Akane awoke to find herself tucked into a strange bed.

Aftan must have brought me back to the airship... my new Home for a while.

She got out of the bed, and found herself in a small room with shower and ameneties attached. She stepped into the shower and disrobed, letting the refreshing warm water flow all over herself. She washed herself after a good soaking,going through the motions as her mind was still waking up. It was only as she was rinsing the shampoo from her hair and tails that it clicked.

"My tails are gold. My hair is gold." Akane stated flatly to herself. "*Sigh*, I was waiting for this day. I've awakened, and now I don't have my lovely red hair anymore..."

Finishing up her shower, she put her clothes back on. Thanks to her Fox-Demon magic, they were clean again. A benefit of the form changing technique, one could use it for more than just changing bodily appearances. Taking her Katana from where it had been placed at her side on the bed, Akane made her way to the canteen for some food. And perhaps a cup of tea.

Upon arriving, she noticed no-one was here, and the only other place that people would be after a battle would be the Medbay... worrying over hurt comrades. Checking the frdge and finding it stocked full, along with the pantry, Akane had an idea.

10 minutes later the Kitsune walked into the Medbay with two large picnic baskets in her arms.
"Ohaiyo, Minna-san~!" She cheerily called out. "Oh wait, you all speak English, don't you... Hello! I was just in the Canteen and thought you were all here, so I made some sandwiches to share. There is a selection of them in this basket, and drinks and snacks in this other one. Please eat, you all look hungry!"

As she set the baskets down on a spare bed, she grabbed a plate and began to dig in herself, ham and sweet mustard pickles on her sammich. Her tails swished madly as she wolfed it down, the taste was superb.

 

[bluerocker]

-You saw a vid of the boss battle in the sequel, didn't you?-

Caim frowned a little, and upon reflection, nodded.

[color=darkblue]"Strength over speed has served me well. I prefer to hit hard than to hit fast. If I get them, they don't get back up."[/color]

-FOOD-

However, Caim's thoughts of battle (for once) were quashed by a sudden growl in his stomach, and he reached for a sandwich; not particularly caring as to which one he grabbed. In the army, food was for survival, not for enjoyment. Angelus helped herself to a sandwich as well, and motioned to Arnal, asking if Cadolbolg's body could process food.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

After nomming her first sammich, Cadolbolg began talking to her, in a very different voice than she remembered. Focusing upon the little turtle dragon, she could sense two souls in the one body. Turning her head to it, she spoke. "I am well thank you. Aftan very kindly helped me back here whilst I was powerless and exhausted from killing that monster. However, you do not sound like the Cadolbolg I met earlier... Nor does your presence feel the same as his did."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

More surprised than anything, Akane responded to Arnal. "Yes, when I first met Aftan at the end of a pistol I did not think much of her. Cold and aloof that she was. Foolish as well, to ambush an enemy from behind with an uncocked pistol. However, after fighting side by side with her, I do believe she is warming up to me, and we do have a bond forged in battle. I've noticed how we can seem to read each other's movements when we fight close. I do respect her, and I trust in her now as well. I can't explain more, it is just a feeling I have about her."

When she finished, she took another sammich. She was really hungry still and could eat and listen to Arnal's response.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

"The Achura believe in predestination, don't they?"

"We do, but it isn't to ridiculous degrees. You can delay fate, but you can't escape it."

"Then you'll understand when I demand that we head outward."

Red turned the corner onto Time's Square and held his hat tightly. A gust of wind swept through the empty city, quiet in the morning blues. The days had passed without incident, from shop to shop he visited, each time asking the owners for directions. It had been nearly a week since the Mage had slept, but it didn't bother him. His staff tapped rhythmically on the concrete as he continued on his stroll.

"Red," Alice said softly in the Mage's ear, "it's time to stop fooling around. I know of a boy that you used to know. His aura is close."

RM nodded politely and tapped his head with the blunt of his staff, vanishing into the air.

---​

When he reappeared, he was kneeling. Unsure why, RM looked up. The room was stark and empty, bits and pieces of medical equipment hung neatly from the walls and cots lined the floor. Red bowed his head again.

"Be polite, we are in presence of a spirit."

Red Mage spoke softly, but firmly, mustering up all the Japanese he could remember from his interactions with Youmu and Tomoya, "Spirit of the fox. The respected Kitsune, one of the legends of the East, I am Red Mage, a hero lost to the times." The mage looked up with his deep green eyes and placed a hand over his heart. "Help me, house me, guide me, and my magics will be yours to command." The fox-girl looked perplexed, and chewed slowly on a sandwich. Her golden tails swished softly against the floor. It was not until a second later that he realized that he had just broken in on a conversation.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"I am thank you Aftan. Thank you very much for bringing me home and putting me to bed, I do not seem to remember much past the spirits of the children saying goodbye. Come, sit down and enjoy a sandwich with us all, I made enough for all. I was going to stop by your residence when I left here and offer you some, but you coming here has made everything fit into place." Akane replied to the Knight.

She took another sammich, "Good thing I made many... Ha ha ha!", and was eating it when a man in a sweeping red cloak teleported into the Medbay. He was kneeling, and bowed his head in a very formal style before speaking. Akane listened to him as he spoke in Japanese, "Spirit of the fox. The respected Kitsune, one of the legends of the East, I am Red Mage, a hero lost to the times." The mage looked up with his deep green eyes and placed a hand over his heart. "Help me, house me, guide me, and my magics will be yours to command."

The fox-girl looked perplexed, and chewed slowly on her sandwich. Her golden tails swished softly against the floor. It was not until a second later that he realized that he had just broken in on a conversation.

Gently Akane spoke to the newcomer, in English. "For the benefit of my companions, I ask that we converse in English. Arise Red Mage, if that is your real name. Present yourself to us as a whole, for though I am a Kitsune, a Fox-Demon as I am called in this culture, I am not the leader nor the most powerful in this room. Nor will I accept fealty from you, for that is a crime to rob someone of their freewill according to the ancient laws of my Daimyo."

Kazuya attempted to Blast that Monster away bore she flew off, but the shaking in the Mountian made it impossible.
He instead redoubled his efforts into helping Lily and the other People that had been captured to escape.
***
On the light craft as it made it's way towards the Rising Dawn and the next battle, Jenny watched as Daniel began to knit the rest of his own wounds.
"Daniel, I...I don't know how I'll ever thank you..."
"Eh...Don't[sub]ow[/sub]Worry[sub]ow[/sub]About[sub]ow[/sub]It..." He said, wincing at his organs re-arranging themselves.
Watching him suffer for her was rather heart-warming.
Once the ship docked, She assisted Daniel in getting off the ship.
"Thanks...Think I can walk now..."
And with that, Jenny gave Daniel a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you..."
Breaking off the embrace to check on Blade, Lopez the Bucket rolled over by Daniel's leg and said "I'll be right here...For you know..."

Med Bay

I hate time zones...

Blade managed to wake up first out of him, Caim and Angelus, both clearly tried from their battle.
Pain was the first thing he felt, His arm took most of the brunt of that Lamp Post and it showed, His arm was in a sling.
He tried moving it but was met only with more pain.
Then, dread filled his system, Was Jenny alright? Did that Bastard get what was coming to him?
His questions were soon answered as Jenny entered.
"Jenny?!"
"Blade!" she replied as she ran over and hugged him.
"owowowowoowow....." he was forced to say as she moved his broken arm.
"Oh dear. Sorry..."

"No, no...I should say sorry...Just...I promised I'd protect you...that I wouldn't let anyone hurt y-"
"Hey, don't you worry about me. I don't need protecting anymore..." she answered as she sat at the end of the bed.
Well...now or never Blade... he thought, causing Jenny to giggle a little.
"What?..."
"Oh nothing. Just reading your mind..."
Oh shit... "Really?...errrr...What did you find?..."
"That your thinking what I'm thinking..."
"Which i-"
He was interrupted by Jenny leaning toward and kissing him, a favour he then returned.

Several hours later
Jenny since left Blade to rest and after getting his strength back, he sat up and walked around a little.
Caim Began to stir.
"Hey, you finally woke up..."

"What happened? Where's the beast in the armor? Did we kill him? All I remember is the brute attacked Angelus, and I got mad; followed by some metal to my face..."

"Bruiser managed to hit you in the face with a Lamp Post, but After what Jenny did to him? Yeah, No one is getting up from that...It's over man."

After the stuff I missed
Blade rubbed his newly healed arm, moving and flexing it as Aftan's father spoke with Caim and Angelus.
"Heh...This world is just full of surprises..." he said to himself as he made his way to the bridge.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Stand off

"Alright, How on earth did you get in here?..." He groaned, really not looking forward to another fight, but if worse came to worse...
"I can ask you the same thing..." Puce responded.
"Well...I asked you first..." he retorted, folding his arms and showing off his Forearm Blades.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Blade rolled his eyes at that Shorty comment.
"Why?...You don't watch a lot of News, do you? The monster's attacking the world? Those? Kind of big deal. Look, if you want to help, Help, If you want to cause trouble, can you please go else where? I've had a rough day..." He confessed before adding "So what do I call you two?..."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Name's Blade. Was just visiting some old friends that were in my world some time back. Then all THIS happened..." Blade answered the doll.
"Speaking of which, I'm sure there are still plenty of those things remaining. If your sticking around, we could use the help. and how does he know Dillon?" He asked as they left the Hanger.
