Land of Dragons

[Edited]

Aiden used his sword to block every single arrow that came towards him. He then mades a sidestep to dodge the last one. After that he stood there, staring at Jake for a few moments, analizing every detail that he could use to his advantage. After that, he he raised his sword with both hands and said "Here is one of my favorite new moves.....Souls of the Forgotten!" Suddenly his sword glowed witha purple aura emanating small electrical shockwaves from within the blade. After charging the attack to it's maximun potantial, "Now take this,! Thousand Souls!" Aiden brought his sword down striking the ground with a furious blow sending a huge shockwave of purple energy straight at Jake.

@Frenzy: We still have to make contact with Shizuka before we can head towards the tournament, please keep that in mind for your next post (I think we already discussed on how)
@Others: The girl who appears in Frenzy’s post will be contacting other PC’s as well. However she will never get within 10 feet of any of your characters. If you approach her closer then that she’ll disappear and reappear somewhere nearby. She leaves no traces of her presence in the form of foot prints nor can you sense her with a sixth sense.

IC:
Shizuka was at combat class again. It had been a week since she started and she already made some incredible progress. Her sensei had told her that her potential was far greater then that of the other students. Still Shizuka was too inexperienced and weak in body to rise above the seniors at the moment. Though this was slightly pissing Shizuka off it was also good to have a goal to aim towards. Her sensei had told her that it was hard to become strong without knowledge of an higher level of strength you currently held.
Shizuka kept the one who defeated her in mind, it was too bad she had no clue on how far his abilities went otherwise he could have been her goal. On the other hand a goal to far away often inspired despair. For now Shizuka aimed to become the strongest in the class, once she had done that she would consider herself ready to fight the unknown man once again.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
The lesson ended and Shizuka took a shower before heading back to her dorm. Shizuka wondered if there were faster ways to become powerful. In stories people sometimes used magic to make themselves stronger however Shizuka didn’t know anyone who knew such a spell. However perhaps the library had a book on it. Shizuka made a mental note and went to sleep. Tomorrow promised to be an other exhausting day.
 
OOC: just for future reference Squall, you should put more power into your posts. In other words, be dexcriptive, colour your speech (not literally colours :D) with creative terms and actions. It makes it much more capturing and tends to spur your opponent on to do a good post next time. just a little suggestion. It would make it much better.

^ This goes for everyone too. I'm very impressed, though, with Drachnon and FireFrenzy. The one thing I don't understand is: what does <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> mean?

IC: "Well then," Jake said. "If you want me to stop toying with you..." Jake sung his sword lazily in a horizontal slash, sending a shockwave of his own out, and cancelled out the other shockwave.

Jake released the power he had been holding back. The flame that coated him turned into a raging inferno, reaching up into the sky, over ten metres high before it dissipated. He didn't even transform though. This was just stuff he'd bottled up.

"Like you said," Jake said, grinning. "No holding back. This isn't even a fraction of my full power, I hope you can stand it." With speed complimenting a sonic fighter, Jake dashed straight past his opponent, not giving him a second to react, and turned on the spot, raising his free hand and sheathing his bow. "Blast Cannon!" Out of his hand, Jake shot a large ball of energy towards his opponent.

As he blasted it, he jumped in the air and shot straight after his foe, folding his wings against his body and traversing his own blast. He drew his sword ansd sent another shockwave straight towards his foe, streaking through the air and blasting through it, causing winds strong enough to fight a hurricane.
 
The heated air blew as Tripod walked to the top of a sand doone. "Okay, once we get to the top of this doone, We'll be close to the pyrimds and water." Said Tripod to the baby dragon. The Baby dragon was clinging to Tripods back. Tripod peecked over the sand doone to see, a small desert town at the base of the Pyrimds, but then she saw that androids aare in control this village, there were guards stationed at the out sercks of town.

Tripod kept down as she looked at the village, "Man, so close yet so far." Said Tripod to herself. "No promblem, I'll just go in there and take out all the androids, yeah pice of cake." Said Tripod. The sand tickled her nose. "Oh no, ah ah ah." Said Tripod before she sneezed. Her eyes changed to a warm blue. "Uh-oh, now we got a promblem." Said Tripod to herself in a soft voice.
 
((Sorry for being absent. I was up in Massachusetes for a week for thanksgiving.))


The pain! It was quite beyond words as Macon writhed helplessley on the ground. He had completely ignored Aiden the orb sank into his chest, for it felt as if he was being immolated (burned from the inside). So many things rushing through his brain at one moment! The feeling was so intense. No, too intense.

But Macon had realized that he was fighting all of it. He realized that he needed to sit back and just let the whole experience happen.

"As I thought, you were the one destined to control the power of the Fire Dragon. With this gem, you will be able to transform into a more powerful being. The power of that transformation....well that is up to you....."

Well, if it was up to him, then he would in turn become as strong as he ever need to be. And if that meant having more power than that unknown warrior to improve himself, then so be it.

"Sorry Macon but I must leave now.....let's split up and search for a way to destroy the android army. Until next time....Dragon Warrior of Fire....."

"Android Army? ... Dragon warrior of fire? You've gotta' be kiddin' me!"

Was all that he had the strength to say. Macon was now exhausted well past fighting, dealing with broken ribs, and butt-naked, spread-eagled on the ground, alone, and with his clothing and equipment nearly a mile away.

Great

Why not just have it rain? On the other hand, now that Macon wasn't fighting his transformation, he could see things a bit more clearly now. Universes full of information floated out and about through his mind, swirling into an eddy of light into his subconscious. How enlightening!

As if something was speaking to him, he had come to an understanding about the dragon gods: They were all at war!

As it turns out, the dragon gods were all fundamentally equal in power, with each element specifically at war with it's opposing element. With this respect, Blaze fought Aqua, Holy fought Unholy, and Sky fought Earth. Because of that, the dragon graveyard just-so-happened to be a battlefield for them as well. As for his transormation, it was more of an upgrade. The real trasnformation would occur only after he tried his "regular" trasformation.

Then, the rest was up to him. Apparently, he'd also become exponentially stronger than usual even, at his regular level of training.

With this in mind, the only thing left to do was find his clothes. After that, he'd probably have to absolve the moral qualms of becoming a both a cliche and a contradiction.

OOC: It's ok Squall. It was just advice. Don't worry about it, especially if English isn't your first language.
 
Ku walks around Tokyo. It had been several days since Nova left on urgent business for the it-X and since she had asked him to wait in Tokyo he had done so. Not that he minded, playing around in arcades and making moves on girls wasn’t something Ku disliked but he really wondered how long Nova would need.
It was just about evening when suddenly his cell phone rang, the phone had been a gift from Nova as she had problems locating Ku if he didn’t carry around something she could track with her equipment.
Ku picked up the phone and said:
*Ohayo Nova-san*
Nova replied:
*Hey Ku I’m almost there wait just a little longer, I have just learned of something that might interest you as well. Go to Tokyo tower and we’ll meet there.*
Ku wondered what it was. But decided to do as Nova had said and walked towards Tokyo tower.
 
It took him several hours, but he finally managed to do it. It had take Macon bright approximately three hours to find and put his own clothes on...

Now what? Well, there was always the possibility of heading back to Tokyo. He'd heard that there were some good kendo and kenjutsu schools. Aiden was right. He had been ignoring his swordsmanship in favor of martial skill. His sword arms needed a good workout... but when he made it to Tokyo.

Leaving this death zone was the first thing that needed to be done... besides getting the stench of millenia old dragon death out of his clothes. Hmmm, what to do? He thumbed the bottom of his chinmeditatively for at least 20 seconds before he came up with a solution.

...And this one would work too!

He'd take a bullet train back!

But wait, he didn't normally carry large amounts of japanese currency on him after being spontaneously being magically teleported to asian island nations...

Macon quickly checked his pockets only to find crumbs.

Well, it looked like he'd be hopping a train... literally

OOC: To Hera Ledro:
I have edited this post Hera Ledro in order to correct some mistakes. Now, is it better?
 
Trd sat in the sand, trying to think of a way to sneak into the village. She still had the baby dragon with her. Suddnedlly some nomaids past by her. "We need to hurry and stock up." Said One travler.
"Stock up? For what?" Said the other travler
"We have to find the location of the Hidden Tournament." Said the fist travler.

"Hidden Tournament?" Said Tripod to herself.
 
OOC: Yeah, it was fine before. it was just a suggestion. If you have trouble with English, don't worry about it. it doesn't matter, but i am waiting for you to post a new retaliation to my post.
 
OOC: I edited the post and my character counter attacked Jake. I am the one waitng see:

OOC: I'm running both Ku and Nova until we meet up, I hope your guys are ready for an in character lecture on the use of magical weapons and items... Gotta love being a guest professor...


Nova had gotten the “4-1-1” on this tournament thing and decided to sign up, she would be teaming up with Ku assuming he didn't mind joining but from what the girl had told her he had already agreed... So with them being a team all the needed now was some flunkies to fill up the team to its required 4... Well nova could worry about that later as the learjet piloted its way down to Tokyo's Narita international airport. It landed without major issues and Nova could barely feel the bump of landing at all.


When they had piloted to one of the many hangars the syndicate's real estate division owned on Narita she heard the door open, looking around for her stuff she noticed that there her bag was opened, and when she checked she noticed that the little runt had stolen her snacks... SHE WOULD PAY... She had yet to figure out how she would get away with killing someone who was backed by 9 Great Elder Wyrms as the D&Ding crowd would call them. She was pretty sure the they wouldnt agree to having there pawn fucked with...


Well as she got out she noticed someone who could only be one of the men in black standing by her car, a briefcase in one hand and a what looked like a Daito (thats Katana for those with less knowledge of Japanese edo-era culture) in one of those swordbags.


“Miss Carmine I take it? Your payment as instructed” He said handing her a briefcase filled with gems by the look of it. “Ooh and a little something we thought you might like considering the rules of the tournament you will be attending.”


Nova knowing a lot better then to ask how they had known that accepted the gift without any ado and put it in her backseat. She would figure out what it did later, first she needed to find Ku and see what kinda trouble she needed to bail him out of now. Although she did buy him a cellphone there were more fun things to do...


However Nova was nothing if not resourceful and quickly had him traced by her AI (I shall be taking suggestions for naming him he needs a name) and found him to be in the company of a girl who DID in fact have a cellphone. One hands free call later the girl was in tears and he agreed to meet her at Tokyo tower. When she got there she invited him for a round of drinks in “Soho's Omotesando” which was about the hippest bar of the moment. It only took 10 minutes to drive to where she had told him to wait. He was in some dinner joint at the top of the tower chatting up someone who could be a model... Nova, never one to pass up a good joke, walked up to him and with the best fake tears she could muster “Ku, How dare you and on our second anniversary no less” And smacked him in the face.


The girl was out of there in only 3 second, which considering she was in heels and something that was small even for a miniskirt was quite a feat. When she was gone nova told him she'd be paying for his drinks all was well though. So after Nova picked up his check they were off to “Soho's Omotesando” Nova was glad about one thing, there was no way they weren't getting in, she had yet to see the first club to not admit her and whom ever she brought with. Parking outside Nova got out of her car, making very sure her 5 digit cocktail dress didn't end in a puddle, and got out taking the arm from Ku who had quickly changed into his suit, they looked marvelous together. Or so she assumed, the bouncer looked once at them and then opened the tape.


“Ku I hope you know that I just got you in here, you would have been stuck in line with the rest of them” Nova said only half in jest. Climbing up the stairs Nova quickly aranged the table with the view of Tokyo tower (OT: YES I not only checked the place to be in Tokyo I also checked what it had view over<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:15pt; height:15pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Gijs/LOCALS~1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_image001.gif" o:href="http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]-->:P<!--[endif]-->) and if the Dj wasn't playing a J-rock premix CD (OT:and the habits of the DJ) she could have sworn it was a set from “sex and the city”. The curved aluminum walls and the sloped roof with the big windows were all very “Upper east side”. It didnt take Nova long to find out that the bars reputation for having the best “white Russian” in town was well deserved(Again this is me doing my research), Ku not being old enough to drink could turn into a major problem if he kept insisting he was a minor, the dude had such a stick up his ass at times...


The next day nova awoke with a skull splitting head ache in some third rate joint, Ku in the double bed next to her, Nova didn't need to check to confirm she was lacking some of her clothing, however she did still appear to be waring her underwear.


*Eeehm, Ku do I want to know how I got here? And where are my clothes?*


*I think you don't want to know But it involved a whole lot of booze thats for sure*


*Now for the good question: how to get rid of this DAMN hangover...*


*Well I hear sex works, endorphins release and all that...* was the first thing Ku said in one of those “matter of fact” tones like he hadn't been hoping this would happen...


*Nah, No offense but I think theres better ways of dealing with this. Like Gatorade or somesuch drink... Luckily i figured this might happen, there should be a bottle in my bag somewhere...* After finding and drinking the bottle Some color started to return to her face and some of the head ache died down. *the miracle that is Sugar, water and sugar when mixxed together to form softdrinks are... What shall we be doing to day?*, Nova said as she moved into the adjacent bathroom with its undersized shower stall, she was kinda glad it wasn't a tub, she didn't trust her self with that kinda water yet.


*Well my sister had a weird aura the other day, kinda like your but different... she seems to be some kind of wizard or sorceress.* Ku said as he -from the sound of it- was closing a door. *I wonder if we could drop by her school see whats she's upto...* He said as she heard something that sounded like a bag of delivery food opening.


After getting dressed and following the rest of the “early morning ritual” she got out of the shower and found he had ordered them breakfast, Some kind of chinese stuff.


After breakfast and some calls it was found that her Shizuka was attending a boarding school which the NWO suspected was more like a “hogwarts” clone then a regular boarding school. It wouldnt be to hard to get in Nova suspected. The fat food and re hydration was proving good at controlling the head ache. A while later they were off, hopping in the car and driving to the Chiba prefecture where the “Chiba's School for Gifted Youngsters” was located.


It wouldn't take long for them to get there and get access, if they demanded some form of entrance exam, Ku could just rip a tree from the ground and then blow it up and nova could always claim to be a “technomancer” who built through high tech gadgets, as lies went it wasn't that far from the truth.


After reaching the driveway they were greeted by what looked like a cast iron fence to Nova, But was probably much more seeing as how Ku seemed intrigued. After claiming this to be a family visit they were granted access and the gates opened, revealing a long driveway with trees on both sides, At the end was a building that looked like a victorian mansion that one might find in upstate New York, someone clearly hadn't been shy with cash when they were ripping of the “x-man” comics.


Driving down the drive they saw that at the end it wound around a large fountain where a lot of people were gathered in the sun. Nova parked her car, and then let the air out of her “pimp suspension” which resulted in a jet of what looked like steam and a nice loud hissing sound. Which immidiatly captivated the students attention. Slightly more so when they got out, all the kids drumming around Ku and Nova, Ku for his Slightly Bishounen looks and Nova's Bishoujo appearance. She had been expecting something like this might happen but not on this scale.


*Yoh guys' we're looking for this dudes Sister, Shizuka. Red hair cant miss her.* Nova yelled over the ecstatic kids' screaming.


*She'll be in the library most likely, I can take you there* one of the kids answered before yelling something in the ultra rapid Japanese nova couldn't quite follow but she figured it'd be “pulling rank”. The kids cleared a path for them and when they had past the continued trying to stare into the car who's tinted windows wouldn't let them see much of anything. Nova just hoped they wouldn't pick the lock, not that she feared that it would WORK more like she feared for there safety.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
A while later they had seen quite a bit of the school and were shown into the library. Nova didn't have to be as sensitive to energy flows as Ku to know this place housed a whole lot of magical power. The Knowledge was almost a physical weigh in this place, Nova was used o feeling Prime energy so she figured that to normal people it would be nauseating. In a corner almost hidden behind a vast stack of books they could see a pony tail of red hair sticking out over the books, seeing as how rare red hair was in this area...
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
When they walked over they saw that it was indeed Shizuka and that she was reading an expose by a well known “interatation X” member on the the fabrication of magical artifacts, Well he wasnt that well known anymore but back in his day... when Nova greeted her Shizuka looked up from her studies and noticed her visitors. First Nova but when she saw Ku her eyes became wider. Then she suddenly jumped from her chair and backed off a few paces taking a fighting stance.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Nova looked at Ku and said: *It looks like you are hated Ku.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*That is not my brother!* Shizuka exclaimed while pointing at Ku who now took off his glaces. As he did Shizuka seemed stunned by the likeness with her brother as her resolve visibly lessened.
*You're right I'm not the Ku you know. Even though I share his name and face.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Who are you?*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*I'm Kakutani Ku. Just like your brother. However with the slight difference of coming from a different 'dimension'.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Daimenshion?* Shizuka asked. Ku had used the english word for dimension which Shizuka apparantly wasn't familiar with the word. Ku explained further and eventually Shizuka seemed to relax a little.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*So you are my brother from a different 'existance' where I don't exist. And you are now in service of a dragon. And not any dragon god but the the first god in the multiverse and the most powerful being in existance. I don't know what more idiotic, your explination or me actually believing it. Let's just hope I can bare having 2 brothers.
Anyways what is it you wanted to talk about? You had something to ask me right?*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Yes,* Nova said and she explained the situation to Shizuka.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*I don't think I quallify for this tournament though. I mean I hardly have any power compared to copy-nii or Nova-san.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Not a problem* spoke Ku *I have already figured out a way to grant you powers that beyond the level of the rest of the students.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*What how?*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Hmm to put it simply you would be instated as a servant of Io, not exactly like me though, you'd be more like a priestess. An incredibly scary priestess with arcane powers and the like. Interested?*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Shizuka seemed to ponder on the question for a while and finally replied *I will however once I get those powers I want a fight against you!*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku didn't mind and said: *Okay then let's go somewhere where we can be alone.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Shizuka let Ku and Nova towards a large Colloseum like building, which was used for one on one battles between magic users. However recently no one had used it. When they arrived Ku said:
*I'm letting Ios take it from here. Whatever happens don't try to be to afraid ochibi-san.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*I'm not a chibi! Wait a minute you're already using the same nicknames my brother uses for me.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku didn't pay much attention to it and walked away a few meters. Then he inhaled deeply while closing his eyes. For a moment nothing seemed to happen, however then suddenly the ground started shaking and cracks appeared around Ku's feet. Reality somehow seemed to bend and all of existance seemed to be pulled into Ku while colours seemed to fade away showing a world of black and white. All this time Ku's body was slowly disolving into energy and when his body seemed completely gone an explosion followed. Both Shizuka and Nova were thrown from their feet and pushed back against the wall. The explosion turned into white light that slowly took shape until Ios had fully emerged.
There was lightning cracking around Ios' armour however other then that everything seemed to have returned to normal. Shizuka and Nova got back on their feet, and Ios asked with a voice that seemed to resonate through mind, body and soul:
"Kakutani Shizuka, are you prepared?"
The voice seemed to be void of language yet Shizuka could understand their meaning.
*Yes, I'm prepared.* She replied.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Then Ios lifted his arm and touched Shizuka's forehead. The finger only seemed to brush Shizuka's forehead however when it did Shizuka was surrounded by a deep blue light and she levitated above the ground. Eventually the light died out and Shizuka fell back to the ground. At the same time Ios disappeared leaving Ku in it's place. A lot less spectacular then changing the other way around.
Shizuka seemed to be asleep for several minutes but eventually woke up.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku: *So feel any different.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Yes, yes I do.* Shizuka replied *Now how about that match.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
*Come at me any time you want.*
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>


Ku took fighting position when suddenly a door opened a bunch of students came through shouting: *They're here, come one before it starts.* more doors opened and more and more students flocked onto the seats.
Apparantly the entire campus had -of course- heard the rumor about Shizuka starting a battle against 'the Bishounen', and the stands were packed. They went down to the pit and Ku took of his shirt and jacket and stood there, with a take you best shot kind of attitude.


*Oni-san or not, I doubt you can take even one of my blows.*

Nova couldn't help but fail to control her laughter at this point, *Trust me he can... Look i'll demonstrate.* at which point nova drew a Mjollnir and fired a single round in the direction of Ku. It turned out her raptor silencer's APC was empty though as the thundered with its characteristic loud explosion. Rarely had the bullet left the muzzle of the gun before Ku's arm became a blur and the bullet was caught in mid air, mere inches from his nose. *told you he could take it... Now take yor best shot... Or we shall see if you can catch bullets too...*


*Okay if you want me to,* She said grabbing something the size of a keyring from her pocket that soon expanded into a fullsized staff with a very “lyrical nanoha” feel to it, before yelling “modo chango: Excalibur modo!”which led to the creation of light around her and a swirling pattern of blue smoke which was very conveniently located to say the least. Her clothing seemed to disappear or “morph” into her magical girl suit, which seemed to be more like armor then a normal magical girl suit. Heavy boots up to her knees, a set of pants that extended to about halfway down to her knees, and a chest protection unit that seemed to me more like a sports bra then a standard magical girl suit, Nova didn't know if the substance was made of a metal or a plastic but from the look of it she figured it'd be a polymer suit. Probably made from “Arcana” a polymer that was particularly conductive of magical energies. As the light dimmed down she also noted a glove around her right arm that went up to her elbow.


As far as transformations scenes had gone, this one was pretty damn cliché, she did get bonus points for the original look of her suit but it was still a pretty cliché scene. Nova looked again as she noticed a ball of light forming at the end of the staff, which was changing it's ends shape from a moon like form to a more barrel like version. Nova was almost sure she had seen that staff before but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Well after that staff had changed its shape and the ball of light was changing its conformation to be more of an aura around the “business end” of the staff she was closing her eyes and yelled “STARLIGHT BREAKER EX!” before the light shot out and beamed down on Ku. Ku was already way ahead of her and after doing some kind of hand movement that reminded nova strongly of the Kamehameha, while yelling “MOONLIGHT HAMMER”at the top of his voice.


The two beams, one shot from her staff, the other from Ku's outstretched hands connecting in mid air, the energy being discharged with a traditional flaring of the beams, Ku's being Red and hers being a a deep shade of blue. Nova couldn't help but do a quick scan of the energy output, and found that it was quite large... Nova could also tell from that that Ku was going easy on her.


*HEY KU TRY HARDER DAMMED, I know she's family but we're here to test her...* Nova bellowed. This was followed by Ku starting to slowly amplifying the power of his beam to the point where she couldn't follow. However her energy output at this point vastly exceeded what Nova would have required for the test. When she couldn't keep up Ku doubled the power of his beam for a quick moment crushing the blue beam and crashing into her hastily made magical field, which held.


*Congratulations, you got the job if you want it.* Nova said as she moved down. Her first thougt being that Ku was sweating, she had seen him do some pretty amazing things, but he had never ended up sweating before. So she figured that he had been taxed quite severely.


*I do, But i have school and obligations, I cant leave my school until the end of the semester* She replied changing her clothing back to normal, which was a lot less spectacular then the other way around.


*Don't worry I am sure I can “arrange” this with the head master.* Nova said handing her a towel. *Yoh, Ku, i'm going to the head master you feel free to grab a shower or something, just behave K?* She said with a quick wink to the sweating guy before moving away through th horde of fanboys and fangirls who had become drumming down the stands to get close to there Bishi idols.


It didn't take nova long to convince the headmaster -who was the eastern version of Charles Xavier even in looks- to lend them to them for the duration of the tournament, she even managed to arrange some extra class credit for her. All he required in exchange was a single guest lecture from them, Nova choosing to do “Magical Items and you” and signing Ku up for “Magical martial arts, an insiders view”.


Nova was signed up for the 1600 in the afternoon, in the schools largest auditorium.


The few hours in between were quickly passed with some mild prepwork. Nova already had a cool idea for her opening...


Before she knew it it was 1600 and she was standing cloaked in the auditorium, the people drumming in to fill the stands for the guest lecture from “the cute chick with the flashy automobile” It didn't take them long to figure out that the chick wasn't there. And after a few minutes the first signs of boredom were starting to show in the crowd. And after the first guy started throwing stuff around it quickly got out of control, Nova however had anticipated this and loaded a round of rubber ammo into her gun, and engaged her “set guns to stun” device in advance. Without a seconds warning she decloaked and put the rubber bullet right in the guys Sacral Plexus. Knocking the wind from him and blasting him backwards through his seat. The order restored so quickly nova could have sworn it had been portalled in from a store facility underground.


*Now that i have your undivided attention, I would like to start.* Nova said before stating on a lecture involving the many varied uses of magical items and the history of them.


She was just about to enter the Renaissance when there was a disturbance in the hallway, and an android ran into the auditorium, Nova had a gun up before she even knew what was happening and squeezed off a regular 9 millimeter round which did exactly nothing. She grabbed her C-20a rifle from the table and squeezed of a round, the gauss ammo went through the air and melted a hole in the head of the android. *And another one of the many uses of a magical item, is as a weapon, as you saw the 9 mil did nothing while my own gun took of thew doid's head. CLASS AJOURNED!*

OOC: I've already replied to that one on Page 19 Squall. I blasted energy at you and stuff like that. I know, it's annoying, but you'll have to make a post to counter-act to that post. This getting tedious for you yet? :D :lol:
 
((If it's okay, i'd like to meet up with you drachnon. I mean, I do need to get in the habit of meeting with the rest of the characters as well.))

Well, like it or not, deflecting bugs flying at your mouth at high speeds atop a japanese bullet train IS good swordsmanship training after all. Even better, it was perfect mental training, as Macon was constantly for the fifty plus minutes spent atop the train tormented with the unending desire to toast everything within a twenty feet radius. Problem was that he'd more than likely risk burning his clothing off... again.

Salvation came to him when the train stopped. That is however the funny thing about salvation; sometimes it come as a mixed blessing. By blessing, I mean that thanks to the advanced tokyo train tech, and the abrupt and instantaneous stop, he was sent flying.

Deja Vu hit him like a hammer, because when he came to, he was in the exact same place that he started this damned adventure!

Though on the brighter side, he did notice some promising karate club around during his time airborne...
 
OOC: Sorry, I didn't noticed, here's my reply, I hope you like.

IC: "Well then," Jake said. "If you want me to stop toying with you..." Jake sung his sword lazily in a horizontal slash, sending a shockwave of his own out, and cancelled out the other shockwave.

Jake released the power he had been holding back. The flame that coated him turned into a raging inferno, reaching up into the sky, over ten metres high before it dissipated. He didn't even transform though. This was just stuff he'd bottled up.

"Like you said," Jake said, grinning. "No holding back. This isn't even a fraction of my full power, I hope you can stand it." With speed complimenting a sonic fighter, Jake dashed straight past his opponent, not giving him a second to react, and turned on the spot, raising his free hand and sheathing his bow. "Blast Cannon!" Out of his hand, Jake shot a large ball of energy towards his opponent.

As he blasted it, he jumped in the air and shot straight after his foe, folding his wings against his body and traversing his own blast. He drew his sword ansd sent another shockwave straight towards his foe, streaking through the air and blasting through it, causing winds strong enough to fight a hurricane.


Aiden stood there, waiting for the atacks to land. Just before he got hit by the attack he said "Very well, no holding back..." After that, the attacks landed and a huge explosion destroyed almost the piece of land in which Aiden was standing. Somehow the battle was felt unfinished, there was no satisfaction, no sense of victory, only a vast ammount of cloud that was lifted due to the great explosion. Suddenly, a huge ammount of energy was felt, the ground began to shake violently. After that, two sharp claws emrged from within the mist and after the cloud of dust began to dissperse, more body parts were revealed. A pair of silver and black wings were saw, then the armored legs, a protective brestplate and finaly the face of a white dragon. Soon after that a voice filled the air "Now you will taste a small ammount of the full potential of the power of the Omega Dragon." Aiden rised his right arm and then, while charging a small ammount of energy from the palm of his hand, a white energy balst was released, quickly heading towards Jake. Without waiting for the attack to land on his opponent Aiden said while grinning "I guess this is the dragon form you wanted to see...."
 
Now here's a guy who can test me, thought Jake. As the Omega Dragon blasted the attack at him, Jake waved his sword again in a horizontal motion, dashing forward as he did so, and cutting the blast in half, causing a small explosion to occur as the energy imploded on itself, desperately trying to repair itself.

"I'm not to be toyed with you know," Jake said. "You have to have more power than that to be able to keep up with me." Jake was calling him out, and his opponent probably knew it. His power was all show. The violent tremors that shook the earth only a few moments before were nothing compared to the power Jake held.

"So," he said, traversing the distance between them in a split second. "What did you want to know from Grandpa? Maybe I can help you." Jake swung his sword diagonally, straight for his opponents throat. His strength would mask whether he hit or not, as Jake's strength was so immense that cutting through steel would have felt like paper.

Jake shot up into the sky, sheathing his sword. "Ka-me-ha-me," he began. A great ball of energy formed in his hands as he brought them behind his back, and was ready to be released at any moment. Jake chose now. "HHAAAAAAAA!" jake released the attack straight towards his foe, the white beam of pure energy lancing towards his foe. As Jake sent the beam towards his foe, he used his Earth elemental abilities to make 3 walls around his foe, 1 behind and 1 on each side, so that the only way he could go was up or forward, both straight towards the Kamehameha.
 
OOC: Kamehameha, right? hmmmmm

IOC:

Aiden saw as Jake's attack was heading straight at him. With a single swing of his sword, Aiden blocked the attack. Then three stone walls appeared, one behind him and the others one each sides. Then he saw how Jake was charging his attack. He heard the words "Kamehameeee..." and he grinned. "Jake, if you say that my power is alll show then I must teach you a few lessons about not underestimating your opponent...no matter what your power level is...." Aiden began to glow with a yellow aura and his eyes turned flaming red. "Your overconfidence will be your downfall Jake...you are so naive....to think that you may have such a great power without knowing how to use it. Strenght without wisdom is useless Jake..... I'll show you...." Aiden increased his energy level and a huge energy wave was released from within his body shattering the stone walls turning them into dust. Aiden watched as Jake was preparing a powerful attack and smirks. The voice that was speaking was no longer Aiden, it was someone else, something powerful, something wise, something ancient.
Furious energy waves surrounded in flames began to gather in the hands of Aiden. Then, he brought both hands behind his back in a way slightly different than Jake's technique. With this words, Aiden increased the ammount of energy of his attack with a strenght equall to Jake's power "Flames of Creation!"
 
Jake had dissappeared by the time Aiden had finished his sentence. Even though the attack was thrown, his body ws no longer at the source, only an image let hanging in the air due to his increased speed. The attack was no longer being fed with energy, but was just shot like a long beam.

Jake had landed, but almost stumbled when the shockwave blew the stone walls apart and continued onwards. The crumbling walls made just the distraction he needed though, as his opponent was busy charging up and releasing the energy towards the would-be Jake after image. The wave consumed the afterimage and tore apart the biological hologram.

Jake took the opportunity and shot towards his foe, sword in hand, bearing down upon his opponent.

OOC: Yeah, the Kamehameha. I should've put this in my guy's bio, but he's from that dimension, as was Hera. He's Gokuu's 381st great-grandson, and Hera's 70th great-grandson. Hera looked after Gokuu in secret when he was a kid, and learned many of his techniques along the way, which he felt honour-bound to pass on to Jake.

I'm going to edit my guy's histories and such later on, but not now.
