We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[FPSfanatic]

Marcus shook from the electrical shocks, but shrugged it off thanks to his mechanical interior. "Anybody willing to use their upgraded weapons on this thing? See how it works out?" he began moving to the doorway, not wanting to get burnt out of his skin again.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness quickly fired another four shots at the moving target, attempting to lead the bullets a little bit. Two were aimed for the head and the other two were aimed at more joints. "Already on it..."

 

[Saltyk]

Vanessa's shots miss the head, but they hit the joints, breaking off the legs and causing it to fall to the ground.

Error.  Repair Protocol:  Malfunction.
Main cannon charge 100%
Begin firing protocol.

Savranth quickly ran over to the lightning forge and dipped the sword into the hole.

The mech's head begins to open as the barrel flows with blue energy. A small ball of blue energy forms in front of the barrel as particles seem to flow into it.

Damn. If only I had a gun powerful enough to damage that thing. Perhaps something like that girl Black- Savranth pictured Black's arm cannon and the sword changed shape to become a rather similar design.
"That works."

The ball of energy slowly grows in size, now nearly the size of a basketball.

Savranth levies the weapon at the equine mech's head. And fires. A potent yellow light fires from the cannon and hits the mech's head, shaving it clean off.

"That should end the threat of that weapon. Finish it off, before it tries anything else!"
The weapon had reverted to look like a sword once more.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Marcus walked over to one of the forges, the water, and sticks one of his metal hands into it. he pulls out the hand once its been reforged, and sedately walks over to the equine, slamming his fist into its chest.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness reloaded her revolver and noted Marcus finishing the thing off. She simply walks off, looking a bit tired, believing the fight to be over. Rex follows suit, scratching the back of his head.

"...Glad that's over with.."

 

[Saltyk]

Marcus's punch caves in the machine's chest, and it slumps to the ground. Unbeknownst to him, he also gravely damages the memory core of the unit in doing so.

"Well... Looks like that is finally over...." Savranth says pausing, waiting for the machine to stand back up and attack. When it doesn't we walks over to the pedestal and looks at it seeing an engraving.
"The Philosopher's Blade... With this we shall reclaim the powers of God's chosen people..."

[hr]

Elsewhere. A figure sits in a chair, it's features obscured in darkness. It watches something.

In the air, there floats a computer screen, but there is no obvious source for it to be projected from. On it there appears the image of Savranth blasting the equine mech with the weapon from the temple.

That should end the threat of that weapon.  Finish it off before it tries anything else!

"Hmmm... So... It's true. One did survive. I had thought they all died. This is most unexpected."

...Glad that's over with..

Well...  Looks like that is finally over.....................The Philosopher's Blade...  With this we shall reclaim the powers of God's chosen people...

"What's more, he has acquired the forbidden weapon. He grows stronger by the day it seems... I can't allow this to go on..."

Behind the figure, floating in a bubble, arms stretched out, is Yukino. Unconscious. Her blade is in a similar bubble.
"I may have use for you, yet, Yukino... It should be entertaining..."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Lyra walks over to look the equine over, and sighed. "So, who wants to do this again in Rockbyrd?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Ugh...that's gotta be at least a few hours... Jessica was still sitting by the doorway, groaning to herself as she rubbed her temples and nursed a headache she had given herself. "Everyone...alright?...What's happening?" She shouted into the room, her voice gaining concern as no one had bothered to answer her last call.

 

[DotSlash]

@Salty: ...Oh.

Ness answered Jessica's call with "We're all clear now. A few of us got some... upgrades." She put her hand to her chin for a moment. The Philospher's Blade... From what we've seen, it can take the form of any weapon the user imagines... and it can take on magical properties. ...This is quite a project the cults were working on..." She mused as she exited the temple and walked toward the area where the wounded were.

[hr]

Rex yawned and shoved his gauntlet into the flame forge before leaving the temple. "Uh... we're gonna close this thing right?"

 

[Saltyk]

The equine mecha was inactive. Having been apparently disabled.

Savranth walked around till he found the shattered remains of his old sword. "Well, that stinks. I've had this blade for a long time..." He says as he gathers the pieces. "It looks like we're fine, Jessica. Thanks for the help."

Looking over to Lyra he asks, "What's in Rockbyrd?"

OoC: @Dot:

 

[FPSfanatic]

Lyra shrugged, as Marcus wandered over and began tearing into the equine, looking for parts to take. "From what I can tell, it might be something like this. Some guy offered me a key, if I kill a fairy. Key kind of looked like the key used here. I got told Icarus had been hunting all over the Earth... Er, planet, looking for the thing. Figure its a key to another temple like this place. Or something. Fuck if I know, to be honest. Way to tired right now, and I'm going to have to find a tattoo artist..." she rubbed her head, and pulled off her mask, taking a deep breath of the air.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Hell no! I came here to study this place." Jessica replied to Rex as she stood herself back up. Sighing, she walked into the Antechamber, being careful about stepping on any of the bones. "Don't waste your breath thanking me. I didn't do anything worth mentioning." She said to Savranth, sounding more like she was putting herself down than being humble. Noticing what Marcus was doing, she walked over and flicked him on the ear. "What did I say about not wrecking that thing up too much?!" She said in a scolding manner.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex leaned back a bit as Jess got all fired up. "Woah, doc. I kinda forgot about that due to the horsey wanting to kill everyone."

Ness stifled a giggle as she heard Jess talking and reprimanding everyone. The fedora girl sat down looking up at the night sky, before admiring her black magnum. She tried to observe anything different about it or if the magic had worn off. "I wonder if I should finally give this gun a name..." She mumbled to herself as she sat.

She quickly raised a hand at Lyra's question. "We might discover more about this world by going there. I'm up for it... [small] even if it's potentially life-threatening... [/small]"

 

[Saltyk]

Marcus and Jessica would find that the equine mech was made of highly advanced technology. Unlike any they had seen before. Not just on this planet but on any other. Within the machine, could be seen runes and odd devices of no discernible value. It certainly wasn't of Legaian make...

"Don't be modest, Jessica. How many would have died if you hadn't been here? If nothing else that is something to be proud of." Savranth told Jessica.

"Well, I'm not sure. We maybe able to make the trip, but I'm not making any promises." He answered Lyra.

Vanessa would find that the forge's effect wears off fairly quickly. One or two uses and it wears off.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Marcus glared at Jess, as her flick removed his other human ear. "sorry, my new robot ears don't hear as well." he grunted, steel teeth gnashing as his red eyes glared at her. He backed off from the Equine.
"fair enough. Might be important though. Just something to add to the list, ya know?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Dear God I hope she's not the kind of person who's that creepily attached to a weapon. Jessica silently prayed as she heard about Ness thinking about naming a gun. "Who knows? Not like we can say for sure I even really saved anyone either." Jessica replied to Savranth, seeming to outright reject his insistence on trying to take pride in things. As Marcus turned to look at her, Jessica finally noticed all the bits of flesh that were missing and the metal parts that were concealed beneath them. Seeing that the robot man was angry and his red eyes staring at her, she quickly switched moods from irritable to terrified. "Please don't kill me! I'm sorry!" She responded, shouting and pleading all at once as she held her hands up defensively.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"ah, hell Jess- its still me! Still Marcus! Just metal. Sorry about the eyes, asked about a color change but they only come in red." Marcus held up his steel hands, skin blasted off to the elbows. "look, I'm really sorry, should have told you about the whole 'murder time travelling robot' deal. Really sorry."
Lyra pointed to Ness and nodded, as she rubbed her back.

 

[Saltyk]

"If you insist..." Savranth says as he walks on out to the others. ""Don't hurt anyone. I'm going to bed."

OoC: As am I. It's late. Or early. Or something...

 

[Drakmorg]

Hearing that it actually did seem to be Marcus, and not an impostor or something as she had feared, Jessica calmed down a bit. "No, it's fine. I get it. You shouldn't feel bad about keeping secrets." Jessica said to Marcus, though she seemed to be actively avoiding eye contact with him. Those eyes...horrible eyes... "...I'm sorry." She repeated, though she seemed to be talking distantly.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Marcus clicked his teeth, and the eyes shut off. "that better? Now I'm blind. I hope that makes it better, cause I'm not scooping them out of my head."
