AsylumXKP's Bad Fur Day
I have renamed the team into "The Soloist" :P Guess I'll be doing my best to keep my team (What's left of it) alive. Whether I make it from this round a sponsor or a fallen, I will continue to develop my character, as well as Yamazaki and if necessary Bowser. I won't be able to use their votes, but I will still have my fun, oh yes I will. Not writing anything yet. I'll wait until this alcohol passes through my system. Yes, much like Conker, the author also gets sloshed regularly. Art immitates life I guess I'll post later, I'm about to pray to the porcelin god again (Give me a tail and call me Conker).
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna get tanked tonight!"

Battle On, Fallen Angel
'Garai!" He glimpsed over toward the rapidly fleeing avian, then toward his comrade, who was yelling vehemently at the bird, and still running (albeit more slowly). He rushed over to Garai's side, immediately beginning to examine the wound (a difficult task, as both were running, but he was an expert doctor...). "You'll be alright if you take that Aquasol I gave you... but you'll be limping for a bit. The bird's a crackshot..."
"That's nice to know," Garai commented sarcastically. "Like I couldn't tell when he SHOT A HOLE STRAIGHT THROUGH MY ARMOR IN MY LEG!" Then, Garai's eyes suddenly flicked away from his own, looking behind him. "But, my good doctor, it seems we have a bit more to worry about..." Citan followed his companion's eyes behind him... and found himself staring dead in the eyes of a particularly ugly goblin, running pretty hard itself, from whose mouth a drop of drool had just fallen on his immaculate green shirt. He sighed mentally. Well... I can always get this dry-cleaned, and it's not much uglier than a Sufal.... "Yes, leave it to the doctor in me to notice your wound first... well then." The goblin looking in his eyes had been going through an immensely difficult cogitative process which might have been called "thinking" had it had more than the mere rudiments of a brain. It had seen the wounded one and knew he was easy prey, but the other one in green... Was that easy prey, or would he be able to fight back? It had just made up its mind that he looked too thin and pale to be much of a challenge, when it looked in his eyes.... and stopped running.
"It's time for me to pull out the big guns, as it were..."
The battle was joined. Garai, in the midst of his own slaughter, caught glimpses of Citan here and there. Wow, did he just hit it with his ponytail? Jeez... man, three in one slash--wait, that wasn't him? Some sort of projection? Whoa--
It was all over in a few minutes. The two cleaned their blades and marched on.
"Hey, Citan?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have to shriek like a banshee when you fight?"
"Well... it's very complicated to explain..."

Kvetching in the Dark
A few feet away something was dripping from the ceiling, each drop slashing into what may have been a puddle or a pool. Whatever it was Ryogo couldn't see it, the left branch of the corridor had taken him far away from the body of the monster he had killed, but it had also carried him deeper into the earth and far away from any source of light. Ryogo's surroundings were pitch dark, and the wanzer pilot couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face. He could, however, still see Pham clearly.
"You know it's not too late to backtrack," the redhead advised him. "You can go back and take another path, it's not like there aren't a hundred other ways to go down here."
Ryogo kept on walking, not even bothering to turn and face the girl as he replied. "You said yourself that I should start making my own decisions."
"Well I was wrong," Pham said, "You're too stupid to make your own decisions. Do what I tell you."
"What are you scared of?" he asked, "You're not even real."
"Yeah well," she started, crossing her arms and looking away from Ryogo, "You are. And if you keep walking around here in the dark you're going to get hurt."
"I'm wearing this bracer, remember? I can't get killed so long as I'm wearing it."
"Killed, no," Pham replied, "Hurt, yes."
"So why should you care if I get hurt or not?" Ryogo asked, amusement in his voice.
"Because…" Pham started. She paused for a moment, obviously searching for the right words. "Because if you get hurt then we get stuck here until the host carries us off to wherever the next round is, and I, for one, don't want to wait around here for who knows how long."
"So leave."
"I can't leave!" she yelled, "I'm here because your mind is deranged and homesick. If you'd just snap out of it and stop being crazy you wouldn't need me and I wouldn't be here. So don't you tell me to leave when it's you who's keeping me here. Idiot."
"Well let me ask you this, then," he replied, "Am I keeping you from shutting the hell up, too?"
Pham opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately decided against it. Instead she simply turned up her nose in her traditional haughty expression and silently fell into step beside Ryogo.
The half-imaginary duo continued along for what seemed like hours, but could have been minutes. All of a sudden the silence of the dungeon was penetrated by a dull thud. A moment later another thud followed it. Then another. And another. Having grown up in a world full of wanzers Ryogo easily identified the sound. "Footsteps," He whispered to Pham, "Big footsteps."

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Four Gaiden - Fallen Only
OOC: Now that you've pretty well knocked us out of the running, let it be known that Magic Blades is currenly winning. Good way to take the heat off your team, Dry. Now it's your turn. Turnabout is fair play.

(OOC: It's a quote. In an episode, Buffy asked Faith how she was doing. Faith's response was "Five-by-five." It's slang for "Perfect, Fine". )

And now for something completely different.
Rouge slipped through the tunnels, away from the sounds of combat. Blue surfaced too soon... He should have stayed sealed for a few more hours at least...
Brotherbrotherbrother... Rouge...
"Guh!" Rouge sank to his knees. "Not again... Brother... No... You've got to... UGH!"
I'm coming out...
"No! No! NO! You stay... IN THERE!"
Hehehe... My turn.
Energy started to arc around Rouge, bolts licking out and lashing at the walls and ceiling. A stone crashed to the floor next to his head. He flung one arm straight out, skin tone changing. His own voice raised in a scream that echoed through the passageways. With a blast that shook the stones, Blue lay on his hands and knees on the floor, breathing hard.
"Brother... You've grown. Hurk!"
Too weak... You can't win... Letmeoutletmeout...
Energy crackled in the air around the body of the young mage as the two egos struggled for control of the shell. The crackling aura shifted from blue to red, then back to blue time and again, finally settling into a rippling purple tone. The two minds struggled, lashing fiercely at each other. The battle spilled over into the physical world as bolts of force crashed into the walls and ceiling, causing quakes and collapses. The twin mages fought to a standstill...
And a catalyst struck. The id of the shell struck at both of them, forcing them together, merging them. The morphic fields of the twins flowed together, making a concession here, a modification there. Soon, the job was completed. With a final burst of energy, a form lay on the floor, unconscious. the ceiling overhead shuddered, stones falling around the body. Something within the unconscious mind of the young man took hold, Gate-ing him out just as the ceiling crashed down where he had lain just a moment before.
---
The tunnels are now slightly more unstable. Both Blue and Rouge are no more, and will most likely not be seen until after the last round. In their place is a new man, the combination of the two. His name is unknown at the moment, but will be resolved shortly. You may recognize him as the shadowy figure in my previous sig. Here's what he looks like:

Yes, that's basically the two sprites laid over each other, with minor graphical editing.
He can now use Mind magic, by the way.

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Four Gaiden - Fallen Only
IIRC, Five by Five was also the title of an episode of Angel. It involed Faith after she swapped bodies with Buffy and slept with Rilley. She was switched back, and then excaped to LA where she was hired by Wolfram and Heart to kill Angel. They had a long, drawn out fight, where they kicked eachother's @$$'s. She finally lost the fight(kinda), and broke down and started crying, "I'm bad, please just kill me." I think Angel then tries to help her regain her senses. But Buffy comes after her and faith eventually lets herself get put in jail.
Five by Five was also Faith's catch fraise. (ie, she kept saying it).
Is that enought, or should I continue?
As you can tell, I'm an advid fan of both Buffy and Angel. However my memory is a little fuzzy about some details because those episodes are really old.
 Redemption comes at what cost?

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Four Gaiden - Fallen Only
Damnit Dry beat me too it. That's what I get for making long posts. However, like I said in my previous post...
It was Willow who asked Faith (who was in Buffy's body) "Are you ok(or: Are you alright Buffy, how are you feeling{something along that line})?" and Faith repied, "I'm Five by Five."
And that's when the audience reliazed what happened. Also, I belive Willow realised that "five by five" was Faith's catch fraise and that she traded bodies with Buffy.

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Four Gaiden - Fallen Only
*The wounded Garai staggers onward towards the rendevous point. His leg, though still painful, is able to support his wait...and as he walks onward, his mind begins to absorb the pain, reducing it to tolerable levels. Garai staggers on, Citan at watching him carefully to see if the giant swordsman will collapse. But after the first mile or so of corridor, Citan finally realizes that Garai will probably be alright. The two walk on...*

Just when you thought we were rid of him...
Billy sat down and panted. The chase had worn him out. There was no way that the person singing could have been Emilia. He listed off the reasons why it couldn't have been her. He'd never heard her sing, for starters. He had no idea what her singing voice sounded like. Secondly, she's dead. Finally, her body was in another world. Even if she had been miraculously revived, she couldn't have travelled here.
It was her voice, though... he thought to himself. There's no doubting that... He felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was the feeling of loss. The pain of being reminded of someone. My mind must be playing tricks on me again...
"What, William? Are you sad? Look at yourself. You've been crying the entire day. Get up, Billy."
Kuja!
Billy turned around sharply, getting to his feet. Kuja was standing in front of him... but he seemed different. His skin was a deadly white. His eyes glowed faintly. And his hair... his hair...
It was a bright red.
Kuja floated above the ground, effortlessly. "You weep for her? She would have been gone anyway. You should not have gotten involved."
Billy gripped his rifle and pointed it at Kuja's head. "Don't make me do it, Kuja... I've killed before."
Why am I threatening to kill him? I can't do it!
Kuja chuckled. "Yes, you do seem to be coming along nicely... a nice thirst for power. Never thought that you'd pull the trigger, Billy? The thirst is in you. The thirst to fight. The thirst to kill. The needing to find more power."
Billy shook his head violently. "You don't know anything about me, Kuja. You think that because I've killed, I'm becoming more like you."
Kuja's dead gaze met his. "Haven't you?"
Billy froze. He had... that moment of pulling the trigger, of silencing the blasphemer, the one who destroyed his memorial to his love... For that split second, he had enjoyed the power.
Billy shook with fear. Why is this happening to me? The last thing that I want to do is to harm people... but I did it anyway.
Kuja leened forward, his eyes aglow with excitement. "Oh, yes, Billy. At first you feel hatred. Hatred is your key to power. It will make you strong. It fills you up, it gives you strength, and it keeps you focused on your goal. Never forget that. Your hatred towards me will turn you into me. There's nothing that you can do about it. As much as you try to fight it, the more you will hate me." He chuckled at this paradox.
Hatred...? Billy shook his head. Even with her killer here, even with him taunting me, even with all that has been done... I feel no hatred. Anger, yes. Fear, yes. But hatred?
Billy looked in Kuja's eyes. Even after what he did, I don't hate him. I don't understand why... It may be my upbringing, it may be my sudden sickness at violence... but I don't hate him."
A thought popped into Billy's head. Some of the last minute words of the man he had killed.
"Don't forget- if you hate that which is evil... the evil within you yourself... will only grow!!"
How can one defeat something so evil, so deadly, without hatred? For it is a great paradox. Hatred gives us power, but by using it, we are consumed, becoming what we had destroyed. Fighting anything to the death means that we need to hate it. And those who kill for no reason... they are so consumed with Hate, they cannot even realize that it is what guides them, what decides what they do.
Kuja looked at Billy. There was a new strength in the young boy priest. Billy looked up at Kuja. A small flicker of fear flashed across the evil man's face. He couldn't understand it, but something told Kuja that Billy was resisting him. Resisting the urges.
"I'm not like you, Kuja. I don't hate you. I can't... even after what you did, I can't... hate you."
Kuja stared at him in shock. "What are you talking about, Billy?" he asked in a hollow voice.
"I don't know why. Everything inside me tells me that I should... but I can't. And I think that you had better go, Kuja."
Kuja's hands clenched and unclenched. A vein in his forehead was twitching. His eyes flashed a dark red, and he lifted his arm towards the ceiling.
"Dark Holy"
Screams emited from the ground. The hallway darkened. Pitch black. Nothing could be seen.
Dark blue blasts emited from the ground, heading straight for Billy. Ghostly spirits swirled around him, readying to slam into him. Kuja looked at Billy from behind all this, eyes glowing.
The blasts neared Billy. The spirits charged. A deafening scream filled the air.
And suddenly, it stopped. Bright light surrounded Billy. A shield of light was around him, protecting him from harm. Billy tried to see, but it was so bright, too bright...
Squinting his eyes, he was able to see... something.
The light died down. Billy looked around him. The spell's effects weren't here. Kuja wasn't here. The hallway was empty.
--
Tyrus, I know that you were busy today, but I felt that I needed to use Kuja. I hope that you understand.
Eh, I'm not entirely satisfied with that post, but I spent too long writing it. It's going up.

Did you notice that the two great angels only have one wing each...?
According to a legend handed down in Nisan...
God could have created humans perfectly...
But then, humans would not have helped each other...
So that is what these great single-winged angels symbolizes...
In order to fly, they are dependent on one another.
