We Are Our Avatars IV (Uh, closed for real now)

[Drakmorg]

"Goodnight Twilight!" Flonne said, waving goodbye. Then Flonne noticed the space-ship and spent a good few minutes fawning over it. When Etna explained that they were basically living in the ship Flonne actually fainted out of joy. Etna just shrugged, picked her up and placed her on her pile of gold. Then Etna crawled over to another part and fell asleep herself.

OOC: I really should be getting to bed too. G'night folks!

Hojo laughed. "Stop making it sound so minimal. It's been hours and you haven't moved. One of your vertebra is destroyed. Shattered. I've already examined your injury. If you're not careful, it will get infected. It might already be infected... What could be more enticing than giving you new strength and allowing you to walk again? That is my offer. You will walk and be stronger than ever. Or you will die on the ground like a dog." He then turned and began to walk away. "You only have until I walk out of earshot to make a decision."

The black haired man simply picked up his sword and started walking with Professor Hojo.

 

[Saltyk]

"Go gather my newest specimen... uh... #0037-1B" Hojo said, to the Zack clone.

The black haired man walked over to Bane and picked him up.

Much later, Bane will wake to find himself able to walk, again. He will also find that he has a strange device on his back with some tubes, and such connected to his body. He's also caged in a fashion similar to the beasts he saw before. Hojo stands outside of the cage.

"See? You can walk again. And you'll also find yourself to be far stronger. This is because I have introduced Mako energy into your body. Unfortunately, you can't survive a prolonged exposure. So, you don't quite have the strength of some of my previous specimens from years ago. Those that were referred to as SOLDIER. There should be a device that will allow you to to adjust the amount being sent through your body. Don't exceed the red bar, I warn you. Or you will find yourself comatose and then dead. And just so you know, I can remotely activate the device. Displease me, and you will find out just what I mean by that warning. Now, behave yourself."

Indeed Bane would find that on his left wrist there was such a device, with 4 settings before the red bar. If he looked outside, he would also see several other familiar faces. Not only Zack. But also, Cloud, Axel, Etna, Terra, Longfang, Twilight, Kanji, and many others. Including... Was that HENRY?

None of them talked mind you. And they all seemed to be quite attentive to Hojo.

OoC: Okay, so I really gotta go to bed.
@Trty Just have @Outis use your character for whatever Joe might need. I already informed him of the clone and he can use it as he needs.
Also, Hojo doesn't need to watch his back. Make a wrong move and his own personal army will crush you. They will even follow him over Joe.

 

[Saltyk]

OoC: @Trty It's not Venom. I told you exactly what it was in PM. I told you the intent. He's not a throw away lackey. Everything I said, I meant. Bane will benefit from this long run, I think. What happens from here comes down to what you and the others do with the situation. Bane can totally rejoin the group. That is entirely possible. I may have held back some info, but I always hold back some. And even what I didn't say outright, I hinted at.

 

[Saltyk]

OoC: @trty no problem. I won't have him using Hojo either. But he will be able to use the clones as needed. I was simply saying he could give you some sort of purpose. A mission. Hell, if you play your cards right, Bane could end up with permanent super strength without any device. But he'd probably be in a coma for a day. In fact, oh if I say anymore, it'll ruin my surprise. Let's just say I choose my character for a reason.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

OOC: Morning, nobodies on as usual and nobody will be until around 2 ish at which time I will be off. -sigh-

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @Ven Actually, I'm here since I'm sick.

 

[Wackymon]

OoC: Just reading up, won't be here long...

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

@All: Back for alittle while, so might as well do some foreshadowing.... Also, I'm changing Katrina's color text from that to This

As Katrina slept, she found herself in her Evolved DragonLord Armor in a strange field, a massive city in the background, torn to bits. It was her hometown, FalconReach. Though she looked at the destruction of her once beloved home, no tear fell from her eyes.

As soon as she turned around, she saw massive blackened pillars erupt from the ground as a shadowed figured slowly approached her, female as well.

Your circle of allies grows smaller everyday that you are gone Katrina.

I'm quite aware of that... she turned around, but FalconReach was no longer there. In its place was a darkened throne room, strange spiked symbols scattered around the halls. Skeleton soldiers shuffled from place to place, threatening to collapse but never to do so.

Aye, and what shall you do?... Katrina "The Loveless" Banks?

I... Will cleave my own path. The other figured laughed.

Foolish, foolish girl... You had gotten that weapon for a reason. I suggest that you use it well... Katrina's dream faded into oblivion
[hr]
A strange calling came from the twin axes that Katrina had as she slept as the black axe morphed into something.... More. A whispered echoed throughout the ship, chilling anybody that heard it...

...Long Unlive the Shadowscythe...​

Spoiler: The axe transformed into this...

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: Back. Who's on?

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: *tumbleweed*

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: I hate to do this, but... bump.

 

[Drakmorg]

@Gear:...What did you think that would accomplish?
Anyway, I'm back for a while.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OOc: @Drak I dunno, I just wanted SOMETHING to happen.

 

[Drakmorg]

Etna and Flonne both woke up. Flonne started wandering around Long Fang's space-ship, her face lit up with absolute wonderment at everything she saw. Etna stayed behind at her pile of gold and started counting it again.

@Gear: There's something.

 

[Random berk]

OOC: Just been reading up. I won't be able to do in-character stuff for a bit since I said I'd help my friend move some stuff out of her ex'es house later, and then I need a ride home, but later I'll be on for my usual time. I still need to have Jacques get over his trepidation of Long Fang's ship, get back inside and gather his weapons. I should also have him pay his respects to Kanji, I think. Stuff like that.
