Re: Two on One: Reunited

Scarlett ran a hand down Ramirez's mauled armor, avoiding the occasional static spark. His injuries were already healing from her brief administration before, but she knew that a few potions would hadly be enough. "What'd you do, get bludgeoned by a stray meteor?"

Ramirez sighed weakly and shook his head. "A combatant in pink armor."

"The one from before," Scarlett inferred, opening her chest again and pulling out a pre-prepared combination potion. "Open up, Rami," she added, jokingly with a slight twinge of matriarchal seductiveness to her voice. She realized that she sounded like an idiot.

Ramirez blinked up at her once, his eyes dark. "Scarlett..."

"What? I won't bite."

He realized that the pills were still in her hand. "Oh." And reached up one of his own to take them from her.

She smiled, though weakly, and obliged, but made sure he actually took them. Then, with a bit more of herself in her smile, she turned an eye to the watchful gunman. "Alright, Gilder. As they say on my world, Let's blow this Cheap-ass joint."

They proceeded in the same direction, no longer Two-On-One so much as All-For-One.

Act 3, Scene 8 - "Delayed"
Edit: makes more sense now with Ex's post!

----------

Expanding his wind platform a bit, the three swooped down through the buildings, guided by Link.

Link.. he was a strange one so far. He was quiet, very introverted, yet all Ivan could sense from him were thoughts of fighting. He could be forgiven for saying he was a warrior much like Ivan himself - and to be honest, it wasn't that unlikely a suggestion, yet... something didn't ring the same. He almost brought it up, but decided not to.

Ahead, Ivan caught a glimpse of a set of power armour, and slowed to a crawl. Creeping to the corner of a building, he peered round - them again - the burning man, and that other, Ryogo.

"They're in our way.." he whispered to the others. Link smiled. "They don't have to be.."

Ivan swallowed. "Let me handle this.. I think I have an idea.

Spinning round the corner, he pulled a gem from the pockets of his suit and held it up in the air, with a shout of "HALT!"

Around him, the air slowed. The sounds of the city became strangely muted, and even the sound of his own voice sounded as though he was hearing it from afar, carried on the wind... and then, with a rush, time caught up again. He blinked, shook his head, then pocketed the gem again.

Turning to the others, he smiled. "I think we're free now."

"A-are you sure?" Vivi stammered. "I d-didn't see them leave.."

"They didn't!" Ivan chuckled slightly, then turned the corner again. The others followed cautiously, then Vivi's eyes opened slightly. "You know Stop!"

Cinder and Ryogo stood on a thin walkway, carefully balanced against the winds that were beginning to pick up.

And not moving.

Ivan flew up to them and waved his hand infront of Ryogo's face.

"They're not hurt.. just delayed."

At that moment, a gold-armoured man stepped out, brushing a hand through his dark hair.

"Oh yeah. Cause THAT was clever." Delita said, frowning at Ivan...

Re: I am Megaman Ex
Scarlett's voice was surreal to him. Ramirez clutched his aching head after a moment of darkness swept further over him. His ribs hurt, obviously pained from the whale-like man who had assaulted him so. The bastard. Ramirez wiped a split lip, turning his head up from the heavy impact zone he'd made from falling from the building- and quite a building it was. He idly smirked and rubbed his head; no wonder he'd blacked out, the fall had been so heavy. His eyes glittered with fury and confusion, and Ramirez craned his head up to look at the building. Through a slightly bloodied eye, concealed by silver bangs, Ramirez could make out a heavy-set figure scaling the building from an incredible height.

Must be fifty stories up, half the height of the Hydra... He dig his bloodied hand into the floor, groaning softly as he hauled himself up. Damn, that hurt. Ramirez used the Ginken saber to haul himself up, pressing the tip to the ground to force himself to stand. He leaned on it for a moment, breathing heavily as he clutched his bruising but armored waist, worked over by the whale-man's strong fists and arms. He spat a bloodied piece of gums, gnashing his teeth as he returned his fiery green gaze to the man's rapidly retreating figure. If he didn't move, he'd almost be out of range.

Almost.

Ramirez straightened up slightly, thankful for the armor that had spared his life. "It would be keen of us to stay as one unit," he said, rasping a little as they proceeded ahead of him. "But first...I had best provide some cover of my own...clear away, both of you."

They did. Clutching the Ginken in both hands, he allowed the suit to keep him upright, locking his knee joints to brace both legs against the floor. He squinted, finding the man surprisingly clutching something that was shaped like a rod- Ramirez's enhanced vision could just barely make it out. Nonetheless, the harpoon wouldn't be his target. And he cared little for the destruction he desired- no, was about- to inflict.

He raked the Ginken along the polished silver walkway, stepping from the crater as a little more feeling eased into his sore muscles. His head turned up, and he spotted his attacker climbing to the fifty-second story he had dominated already. Carving the tip of the Ginken into the floor, he tightened his bloody, free hand into a fist and set his jaw. Another moment and his eyes had closed, and in another his mind's eyelid had flashed open. Again he saw himself, standing beside the himself-plus-attacker-shaped crater, as the quiet glory of the six moons flashed in a circle around his feet. Darkness and red light streamed around him, flaring within the darkness of his mind as the corporeal essence of the long-range spell came forward in red light that encased his dark-armored form.

I will hear your sin's confession, as a scream. Pyrulen.

The rumbling that shook the air next was that of air being sucked in. High above Ramirez and Scarlett and Gilder, but below his scaling attacker's legs, there was the sound of something boiling. Moisture was expended, condensation gleaming on the wall's smooth, shiny surface. Heat built and the metal began to expand, but the ring of moisture did not simply focus on that. From that floor to the three layers of area around it, there was the expansion of a ring of red light, and it glowed ominously as the center of it turned bright orange. Ramirez swept his Ginken forward, and then gestured quickly for the other two to get back. He hurried after them, but gave the building's radiating floors one final look, and he had to smirk before he turned away again.

It was less a fire spell than a sheer explosion, as though the anger of the gods was visited upon that unfortunate slab of steel skyscraper. Below Ward and outside the first of the fifty-story-floors, there was a horrifying sight of flame bursting into the metal, and smoke belched as the blast shook the structure ever so slightly. The metal section was expanded from the intense heat, flattened into a light indentation as the explosion shattered the window glass. Sharpened shards peppered all those inside, and the heat scorched those nearest the windows.

Ramirez did not give it a second glance. As the glass rained down behind him, on the crater of the walkway, he took off into a quick limp after his two teammates, holding his side somewhat. He had to gasp at the pain there, even if the healing potions had helped him immensely. The ache was slowing him down, and there were few things he hated more than being sluggish. He groaned further as his heels clicked each other from their slow rate.

Then he felt his legs propel.

What in-!? Ramirez was shocked to find something like silver magic blasting from the soles of his wide armor boots, pumping his legs forward and back into a sprint. The limp in his legs seemed to dissipate, for now it was the armor rushing with him- no longer did he need to expend as much of his strength. His parched lips parted in an incredulous smile, the sensation of rushing again such a pleasant one. In the confines of the water and here in this futuristic place, he had done little running; it was an absence welcomed back.

Soon he was running side-by-side with Gilder and Scarlett, and he gave a nod to the both of them. "We had best begin a retaliation," he told them, his eyes darkening slightly. "I've no more patience for being surprise-attacked...I believe now, we may 'blow this joint', as you've so tactfully worded it."

Getting Exp. No offense.
"Need any help?" Agrias asked.

"No thanks, I might as well finish this now." replied Golbez.

The General pulled an axe from his holster as he made a sudden rush for Golbez. Golbez swung his sword at the General, cutting the axe in two like a hot knife through butter. The same could be said for the General's head.

Golbez floated himself back through the gap in the wall, and no one said a word about the bloody incident that had just occurred.

Suddenly Strago fired an energy bolt at a passing boy, knocking him to the ground

"I got him!" Strago shouted.

Golbez and Agrias both gave him a stern look.

"What?" he asked.

Just then, bolt of electricity struck them knocking them to the ground, and sending Golbez's sword flying through the air as the energy blade faded. Golbez barely managed to get to his feet when he saw a monster of a man charging them with a big spiked.

"Look out!" Golbez called, while pushing Agrias out of the way.

Ward struck Golbez in the stomach and then Strago in the head. Regaining her balance, Agrias lunged at Ward which he sword.
Amazingly, Ward nimbly dodged Agrias, and hit her in the back with the spike.
However he didn't see Golbez preparing an onslaught of spells.

"ENOUGH!!!!!" Golbez shouted, as he unleashed his fury of energy on Ward. Magical bolts of every color should out of Golbez's eyes, mouth, and hands, sending Ward through the wall, and into the adjacent building.

Mad Machine
Ryo took a moment to share some curative items with his team-mates before he stepped out onto the balcony beyond the changing room. There was no railing yet he perched precariously on the edge without fear, another effect of the suit’s mental conditioning of his mind. He took in the panorama of the city, the suit mapping it in intricate detail as he did so. It calculated distances and the densities of various materials in an instant. With no forethought or run-up, the teenager leapt from the balcony over to an opposing building some 200 metres away. As he approached the wall twin thrusters slid out from the armour plate on his back. They were not powerful enough to enable flight but rather acted to decelerate him. He hit the wall on all fours, the material of his gloves and boots suddenly becoming adhesive as he did so allowing him to stick firmly in place. Ryo adopted the pose of a runner on starting blocks and at the signal of some unheard starter began to sprint directly up the wall with only the lightest touch of his fingertips to keep himself upright.

It took him less than a minute to run the 20 stories up to the roof and take in the surrounding scenery. As he scanned the horizon his visor locked onto and tracked any of the contestants who passed through his field of vision. It also noted the various skirmishes occurring between the rebels and government forces. Text started to appear in the HUD:

}Warning: ambient hostility level increasing . . . assessing
}---Ambient hostility level rated: 3
}---Current location danger level: MODERATE
}Upgrading to engagement mode
}---Stimulating user response


Ryo suddenly felt light-headed. He did not realise it but the suit was directly stimulating his adrenal gland. He began breathing heavily, his eyes darting back and forth looking for something … anything. The first figure that his gaze settled on was wearing a green power suit and was running along a road suspended over 100 stories above ground level, but still some 150 below Ryo’s current position. The white outline around Link in the HUD suddenly turned red.

}Enemy detected. Current hostility rating: 0
}Priority over-ride: target within ambient hostility zone
}---Engage and destroy


Without another thought the teenager pounced at the distant speck that was Link and plummeted in an uncontrolled fall. He flipped into a free-fall position and moments later the retro thrusters on his back kicked in. The thrusters guided him toward a road that he would otherwise miss by inches. He landed nimbly on the edge of the road and ran across it to where it intersected Link’s path. He then dropped down a further 30 stories to the road that the unsuspecting warrior ran upon and confronted the blonde youth.

Engage and destroy

the HUD repeated. By this time the suit was forcing so much adrenaline through Ryo’s system that his arms and legs were shaking involuntarily from the tension of standing still. Link could sense instinctively that something was wrong with the stranger and took up a defensive pose. The blonde warrior’s senses were keen but, like most, his power suit was designed for strength and endurance while Ryo’s favoured enhanced speed and reflexes. Link saw the attack coming as his adversary in the blue and black suit dashed toward him but was unable to react in time.

Ryo thrust his knee sharply into Link’s stomach, who felt it even through the armour. With his martial arts hard-wired into the suit, Ryo could bypass his conscious mind entirely in attack and defence giving him super-human reactions. He smashed viciously at the warriors vulnerable neck and arm joints between the armour plates before finally delivering a kick to the chest which knocked Link to the ground. Though still conscious Link’s suit had temporarily immobilised him while it performed self-repairs.

As the sensors in Ryo’s suit picked up the ever increasing levels of combat in the area it reacted by stimulating the production of endorphins in his brain. Together with the adrenaline it formed a potent chemical cocktail that produced a constant battle high.

The next hour was a blur to Ryo. He lost count of the number of people he fought, he could no longer make out their faces. The computer within his suit had such control over him at that point that he felt as though he were watching someone else using his body from behind his own eyes. Finally he encountered a small group of the rebels. He could not even hear their cries of “Beserker” as he tore through them, his attacks five times stronger than normal. He knew only one thing: when the suit demanded, he responded. Engage. Destroy.

Then without warning, it stopped. The white noise receded from his ears, the blood red drained from his eyes and the strength disappeared from his body. Ryo collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut and lay prone, gasping in lung-fulls of air. He had reached the point of absolute exhaustion, where no amount of chemical inducement could make him continue. But still the HUD flashed ’engage and destroy’ as one of the rebels approached and lifted the helmet from his head.

“Looks like he’s still alive” the stranger said to someone outside Ryo’s field of vision.

“Where the hell did he get that thing?” an unseen voice asked, as Ryo fell unconscious.

Some time later, the teenager reawakened. He ached all over and found it painful to move, but gradually dragged himself to his feet. Nearby he could see three men, one of whom approached.

“You’re damn lucky” the rebel told him. In his hands he held the black helmet of Ryo’s suit.

“What happened to me?” Ryo gasped.

“That there’s a Beserker suit, son” the ageing man told him. “I’ve not seen one in years. It pumps the user’s brain full of chemicals and runs them like a human torpedo until they burn out. Most often, the user winds up dead from the strain.”

“How do I get this thing off?” the teenager asked.

“Just press the left palm against the right elbow. But don’t worry, all the control systems are in the helmet. As long as you don’t put it back on you’ll be fine.” And with that the man threw the black helmet over the side of the road. “See you around kid. I’d stick around longer, be we’ve got a war to win here.”

Moments later, Ryo was alone again. He regained his composure and took some time to reflect and try to recall how much damage the machine had made him do. Then he went to look for his team-mates.

*Garai steps out into a group of combatants...just as destruction begins to rain from the heavens, in the form of large eggs. Garai spots one headed towards a man clad in green...on an impulse, and fires two shots. One at the egg, one at the apparent source of the eggs. The man in green looks around for an instant before spotting the source of the fire...Garai grins and bows slightly, a show of respect for one who seems to be a worthy fellow warrior.

Re: Act 3, Scene 8 - "Delayed"
The guard looked slightly shocked as the crimson-armored Delita landed on the platform, blue beam saber in hand, denting the walkway considerably and sending a cloud of dust through the air.

This dust was the last thing he saw.

Delita raised the saber high overhead, then brought it down with all his might. Instantly, a magical blade of force shot up from the ground, ripping through the metal of the walkway itself and the soldier's armor. The subsequent explosion threw the other soldiers back long enough for Delita to assess the situation.

It was just him and the two others against a slew of fully-armed guards.

On the other hand, he personally wasn't in a good mood.

Yeah, I'd say the odds are in our favor.

Jetting forward, Delita brought the glowing energy sword around in an overhead arc and sliced the gun-carrying arms off the nearest guard, then sidestepped and skewered a second.

Then he realized that no one was helping him.

Turning briefly, Delita realized that the two tournament-participants weren't moving in the slightest. Deducing that the cause was either faulty technology or magical intervention from a third party, he scanned the skies as he fell back.

"There!"

High above, three people were flying toward a pair of skyscrapers in the distance. One of them was Link.

A multitude of pulsating shots suddenly flew past Delita on either side, reminding him of the numerous guards he had yet to deal with. Realizing he was again outmatched, he drew up the armor's built-in shield to protect him from the assault and, with a nod to the still-unmoving Ryogo and Cinder, decided to leave them and pursue his ally.

Sorry, guys, but it's not my problem...

Boosters on full power, he blasted off after Link.

*******

Aeris hopped out of the capsule and proceeded out into the corridors. She hadn't seen Link, or Delita, and was just in the slightest way nervous about them.

At least no one can read my thoughts anymore...

She looked outside, and backed against a wall to consider her options.

Things would just be slightly easier if I knew my team was here... maybe Navi could make a witty com Aeris giggled.

And Delita. The macho like. He must be a leader of something. It's obvious from how he thinks and acts. And he's obviously been hurt by the past. I sense it within him....

Aeris paused, and poked at a lone paper.

And Link... I cannot help but feel something too strangely familiar. I mean, his hair color is one thing... Aeris sighed and closed her eyes a moment.

That must have been what he was like when he was Link's age. I can guess. Young and very naive, but always a strong sense in them. I always seem attrached to that type...

Aeris stopped her breathe for a moment, but then sighed once again, and started back down the corridor, and eventually made herself outside.

She ran after some street where she heard some explosions going off. Maybe...

"L-Link!" The red mage yelled after the archer, who was down at the moment. Aeris ran over to him.

"Link! Are you hurt?" Aeris said, concerned over the gash in Link's arm.

"It just stings..." Link grimaced a second later, and then Aeris grabbed a hold of Link's arm.

"Here, hang on..." Soon the wound on his arm was healed over. Aeris smiled, and so did Link.

"Thank you." Aeris nodded, and turned back to the crowd that Link was with.

"Hello, thanks for wtaching over my team mate. My name is Aeris."

Target Practice / a tribute to No. 2.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Scarlett laughed, looking up at the suspended Ryogo and his fiery companion.

Gilder likewise laughed, settling a hand on his thigh by the revolvers. "I'd say it was a pair of the people responsible for causing us quite a bit of pain, Scarlett."

Scarlett smirked, melodramatically this time. "Good, good! Then that repeated succession of shots to my head and back didn't affect my vision any!"

Ramirez even smiled at that remark.

"So," Scarlett continued, addressing her companions and rolling back her shoulders, "how about I show you what I did behind your backs before?"

Ramirez regarded her skeptically, but Gilder went along with her plan. "I'd like that, lady. Why not demonstrate on that pair of cheap sitting ducks?"

Her grin was glassy and her eyes had almost all of their old sparkle back in them as she rolled back her shoulders. "Hope you're not too squeamish," she asked her teammates as a pair of gun barrels mechanically protruded through her dress where her nipples should have been.

She then turned back to Ryogo and Cinder. "Don't you just love science?" she asked as a throwback of her shoulders activated a gatling mechanism.

Her laugher could barely be heard above the clatter and snaps of both guns. And, when a few bullets had put a few decent kinks into Ryogo and Cinder's armor, she fired one last shot into Ryogo's crotch area.

"And that," she spat, punctuated by the bullet making contact, "is for the comment about my ass. Thank you and have a nice day."

The barrels retracted automatically, and, with a gesture to her bewildered teammates, Scarlett (no pun intended) pressed on.

Nothing like ruining one man's day to rid your mind of another...Laguna...

She didn't let her last thought show up in her face.

The bitch was back.

---
Even with all the other Mech and armor suits flying around, whizzing about, and destroying general areas in the town, Shadow still felt like a small hedgehog. One of the smallest entrants in the contest, along with the Moogle, the Squirrel, the Yoshi, and that short little man with the funny trousers. Even inside his seemingly impenetrible fortress of armor, he still felt insignificant.

After figuring out a few of the commands and gimmicks the thing had, Shadow figured out that it had a sort of hovering ability, not unlike his own special shoes, except he was hovering a lot higher from the ground. As he went along, seemingly unnoticed because of his size and the fact he tried to keep to the shadows, all he could see was destruction. It rained from the heavens in the form of missiles, bullets and light projectiles. Certainly this was no place to call home, but to those fighting, it was.

Craters filled the buildings, as the sky was lit all a-glow with the firestorm around. Contestants battled eachother, the Government, and the Rebels all around Shadow. He twitched an eye in disgust, "Pathetic humans... Their fight is in vain."

Overhead a screamer rang out, and collided with a nearby rebel, whom then collided in with one of the towering buildings. Nothing much seemed to happen, except for a cloud of smoke errupted from the new hole. After the troupe poked its head out of the hole, the whole building began to shake violently.

The dark Hedgehog watched, amused by the buildings collapse, his arms folded neatly over his now metallic chest. The claws scraped against the hull noisily, reminding him that he still wasn't himself inside this contraption.

As the building toppled over, he glanced down, noticing his own Teammates battling it out on their own. A team? It seemed more like a slaughter fest. Perhaps, they should stick together more. More importantly, stay within close range.

Like a dooming guillotine, the building screamed downward, threatening to take anyone down who dare stood in its way...even his own teammates. What a predicament, collapsing buildings, being forced into an odd team, and being in this tournament. It was all too strange.

Same situation, different matter. No matter where Shadow went, it was always the same. Not wanting to building to land ontop of a semi-unsuspecting Lise, (and by pulling out his favorite green Chaos Emerald from a space-nexus pocket..) he rushed downward with the aid of the suits own hovering propulsion. It flew through the air, the wind whistling over it's extremeties as it plummeted.

Lise looked up from her slight brooding, in time to see the building almost meet her face to face. She raised her arms in defense, and frantically backed up in her own armor, trying to escape from the area.

Few sparkles began to drift around the mechanical beast as he neared Lise. He reached out an arm remembering the claws on the ends of his hands, and wrapped it around her middle, not too roughly, but enough to pull her with him, as he continued dashing. The only way they were going to get out of this, was with a little 'help'. Two giant green rings of light shot out from between the two, followed by an explosion of light. The Hedgehog's voice echoed throughout the area, "Chaos...CONTROL!" When the light faded to the faint shimmer of sparkles, Shadow the (Metallic) Hedgehog, and the Valkyrie-like Lise had dissapeared.

To the others around Shadow, he had dissapeared, however, he had only meerly 'paused' time long enough for him to speed through, giving that odd appearance. The world was frozen around him, allowing him to breeze past objects, and escape moments before the building smashed into the ground.

Elsewhere, a dark set of armor walking away from his own destructive scene. A metalling yellow blur came dashing out of nowhere, from an explosion of light, sparkles, and green ambient rings(Like Saturn!) Following the explosion of light, came a gigantic Sonic Boom (no pun intended), as Shadow ran almost completely right passed Ryo, with Lise in his arms. Around the corner, the sound of a wall being crashed into, along with a few screams and apologises, and Lise walked around the corner toward Ryo, dusting her arms off.

Drudging himself afterwards, Shadow followed suit, rubbing his head as if he had a headache, "I'm sorry..." he mumbled to Lise, but she was already far from him to hear the apology.

Ryo smirked at the two, noting that at least he didn't have to look far for his team.

(Note, I used Chaos Control to 'pause' time long enough to get Lise outta the way, and to run to Ryo before it ran out of time. If I wanted to teleport around, I'd need a second Chaos Emerald with someone else to hold onto it for me to zapto.. :D Unfortunatelly, because there are none in this universe, I don't believe, I won't be teleporting anywhere. *Zap-Poof*)

OK, seriously! >.< Don't take offense to this! Everyone is doing random pillages with their attacks/points. I bet even you are doing this, as well. So before you take offense, consider the same predicament everyone is in. Don't take this personally. It's just random.. :P

Bring out the 86mm guns...

The fight with the three contestants was a difficult one. Ward had managed to attack Golbez and Strago, but was then ambushed himself by thier teammate, a powerful female sword fighter.

He beam sword was driven deep into Ward's back plating, nearly scalding him through the armor. He spun in response, backhanding the woman with one of his out streched hands, then followed the blow by using his giant spike to clip her legs out from under her.

Golbez had rushed him from the other side, put Ward thrusted his weapon him to his chest, causing him to buckle over, then crashing it downward against the top of his head.

A plasma blast struck Ward from the left.

He rushed the source, a chanting Strago, interupting his spell by palming his faceplate with a giant metallic hand. Ward flung the old man upwards, through several layers of floors and cielings above.

"Yee-haw..."

Exy baby.... ::grins:: You wouldn't find it so "groovy" if it had been your crotch I just shot....

::smirk::

But then, everyone's hit Ex there at some point or another...

Guess who Ms. Sexual Repression USA is playing in RTT?



Isn't the irony lovely?

"Well that was...er...thanks," Agrias commented lamely.

"It was no trouble at all," Golbez replied, seeming mechanically.

For good measure, Agrias tested out her blaster and fired a shot at approximately the same place where Ward had been blasted ago moments earlier.

The scream that sounded a few seconds later proved that she'd hit her not so intended target. She raised in eyebrow.

"I must be a better shot than I thought..."

"Damn straight," the old man muttered.

"You," Golbez said with a slight smirk, "are the oddest old man I've ever had the...how shall I say...pleasure...of meeting..."

"I'll take as a compliment," Strago retorted.

"What do you know," Agrias murmured to herslef suddenly.

A flash of scarlet in the distance signaled the presence of the rather sadistic blonde who'd "un-topped" her earlier.

"I have a score to settle," she told her teammates pointedly.

"Ah..." Golbez commented, following her eyes.

"Bitch fight!" Strago replied, eyes gleaming oddly.

"Um...not quite..." Agrias said, businesslike and reserved as usual.

"You know you're just hoping -- never mind." Golbez covered his intended remark quickly. It didn't sail over Agrias's head.

Strago sweatdropped.

"I'll let it go," she said curtly, walking off.

Both guys sighed in relief.

Act 3, Scene 9 - ""
"Hi Aeris." Ivan grinned, then turned away.

This crowd is getting too big. My entire reason for being here is to do what I can on my own... but then, these people need help. And that's what I do best - help people...

I wish I'd never come along on this thing now. Maybe Isaac was right all along... and maybe not.

I'm so confused.

There are too many people suffering here.

I.. want to make it stop. If it stops, they won't cry out.

I can hear them.

Make it stop....


Without warning, Ivan took off from the group, flying straight up. He shot a message to Vivi before he went though.

(Maybe Kaze has the right idea. I need to think... I'll be back. Soon.)

Not waiting for a reply, he shot up, further and further, breaking the top of the city. Finally, up here, he could be free.. free of the noise, the clamour in his head.

Why.. why was his head so full of others thoughts? Was it the suit? It amplified all his other powers... why not this one? Aah! More voices! So.. so LOUD!

Below him, three figures fought against one hulk of a man, a brute with the strength of, coincidentally, three men..

Ivan growled. YOU! GET.. OUT of my HEAD!

Summoning his psynergy, he focused it on the roof of the building and uttered two words.

"SHINE PLASMA!"

From his hands exploded a miasma of purple and blue energy, folding on itself, twining itself together, and heading straight for the roof. He thought he saw one of them look up before it hit, shattering the rooftop, sending them flying...

Peace...

...no...

...everywhere...

...more...noise...


With a grunt of mental effort, he pulled off the helmet and flung it away. Panting, he floated in mid-air, slowly descending to a rooftop.

Clear... now everything is clear and quiet...maybe now I can rest...

----------

Shockwave! Shine Plasma hits Agrias, Golbez, Strago and Ward!
Absorb! Hurting Ward, healing Lise!
Osmose! Hurting Ward, healing Vivi!

Phew...

And So It Begins...
Act Three, Part Two: Two Sides to Every Story

"Mayor, Mr. Westin wishes to see you," the intercom crackled.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Send him in right away!" Terré Bess released the intercom button and sat back in her plush office chair, her red armour creaking as she moved. Shuffling some papers from her mahogany desk into a filing drawer, the found the report she had recieved earlier that day, the one about how the intelligence division believed that various mercenaries had shown up in Treliam in order to sell their services to one side or another. With a sigh, she brushed her golden bangs out of her eyes. Westin better have hired them all, or I'm going to throttle him...

When Scott Westin walked through the door, wearing his typical black trenchcoat and armour ensamble and looking more grim than usual, Terré knew that a good throttling was going to be in order.

---

"Six new recruits, eh?" Jaline Robreta's one good eye perked up as she heard the news. A vicious scar ran down the side of her face and claimed her right eye, the result of a shrapnel attack years ago. She finished putting on her oft-repaired green armour and looked towards the aid. "Well, this works well with our plans. How go the preparations for Operation: Final Strike?"

"Our units are in place, Commander. The attack is all set to begin at 1930 hours!"

---

"You're saying that they aren't mercenaries?" Terré sat back and groaned "...Remind me to fire the head of intelligence."

"I'm the head of intelligence, Ma'am," Westin replied, used to his superior's idle threats against his position. "And it gets worse, I'm afraid."

"How much worse?"

"Several of them have already joined with the Rebels, and more have launched attacks against the City Guard."

"...Call in the reserve guard. I want double patrols tonight. Report any incidents to me immediately." The mayor stood up and walked to her window, where she gazed upon her city, one ravaged by battles and torn by ideologies. "I have a feeling something big is going to happen tonight."

---

Alright, due to my job keeping me late, we shall have one more minor extension. The battle starts as of this post, and the round will end at 12:00 AM Friday Morning.

And you guys have all seen Star Wars one two many times. :P I said the government wasn't evil, and it isn't. It's just two sides with two opposing viewpoints, and no willingness to compromise. Remember that when you're slaughtering the City Guard.

Strago Magus - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP, +4 damage
Golbez - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP, +4 damage
Agrias Oaks - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP, +4 damage
Yoshi - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP, +4 damage
Delita Hyral - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP, +4 damage
Garai - Rebel Side, Assault - +10 XP

NOTE: I will still be allowing people to choose a side and a role until the end of the round. It only makes sense that once the battle starts, people may get caught up fighting for one side or another...
