My RPG

[Wolfstar]

I think the determining factor as to whether or not the gas attack had any effect is whether or not Gotenks says it did... because it doesn't matter to me either way. And I'll wait for him before a post in that scenario.

What I should do is post for Legaia, I just can't make myself do it...

EveryBody.... turn off the caps lock...

Tommy and Adam exchanged troubled looks, then began to move toward the frontline; Kyu and Shaoten were stuck behind a line of warriors, and Kejek stood back to put up bariers around Dende.

"... I should have put more enchantments around this place the moment we arrived..." Kejek muttered to himself, keeping his wand aloft as he processed the intruder's demands. "Hominem... revelio..." He kept his voice low, aiming his wand at the spot where the last of a group of warriors had been knocked aside. Nothing happened, but Kejek showed no surprise.

"This crystal is a bit important," Tommy said, keeping the item in question just above the shoulder of the closest to his right so that it was visible to the intruder, "I'm afraid we can't go giving it to everyone that asks."

"... Finité!" Kejek dropped most of the enchantments with which he had hidden Dende and himself, but that wasn't all that happened; not too far from Alex there appeared a person-shaped ripple of color.

"Found him," Kyu said, his mind now locked on the invisible attacker's ki.

OOC: Messy messy messy! . Ok, so it's up to Wolfstar if Flayk is visible now or not.

[Wolfstar]

OOC: *cheers for HP7* They gave us the tools... and you knew how to use them! Ok, let's get this sucka goin'!

***

"Nice work, wizard," Heldlin told Kejek as he stood, turning his gaze to the rogue Hermalyan. "Now that I can see him, I doubt he will be too tough to beat."

Flayk, seemingly unabashed by his de-cloaking burst into a fit of laughter. "You're a fool," he said as he managed to calm down. "Currently, I sit just below the RDF's entry requirements for power. Unless I'm mistaken, none of you are that high... and even if you are, you are nowhere near strong enough to beat him," he finished as he pointed with his thumb over his shoulder toward the cloaked man.

"I gave you all a chance," the mysterious cloaked figure told everyone. "I regret this, but Flayk... we're going to have to take the crystal by force." The man pulled back his cloak, revealing white robes under it, as well as a katana strapped to his waist. His face was mostly humanoid in appearance, except for the remnants of a shattered white mask on his forhead, bearing horns that stuck up slightly, but only peaked above his brown hair. "It is unfortunate that I have to do this... I was once like you."

"I don't care who or what you are, but I'm not about to let you get away with attacking our stronghold," Alex growled as he powered up to his highest potential. "We've got work to do guys!"

Heldlin rushed at Flayk, along with two of his armored comrades. Flayk brushed one of them aside with another strike, but Heldlin managed to hit Flayk a few times, knocking him back for a moment before he could regain his footing. One of the Emiemarcs fired a blast over Heldlin's shoulder, which smashed into Flayk and exploded against his chest, leaving a shallow wound. "He's not invincible!" Heldlin called out to rally his men.

"Nope, but pretty damn close!" Flayk shouted as he struck the offending Emiemarc with a bolt of lightning from his ring, creating a whole right through the alien. "That might leave a mark..." he said with a laugh as the alien collapsed on the floor, dead.

Alex launched a series of attacks against the mysterious man, but none of them were successful in even phasing him for a moment. Yet the man still did not attack. "You're wondering why I don't just kill you, aren't you?" he asked Alex as he continued to march forward towards Adam and Tommy. "I find unnecessary death unjust. However, if you continue to get in my way, I may have to harm you to the point where you wish you were dead." He let his power level rise to emphasize the threat, not that he would have needed the extra boost to do the job.

"I can't stand down... kind of an honor/duty thing, you know?" Alex replied as he launched another volley of attacks.

"Very well then..." the man said as he dashed forward and grabbed Alex by the head, which he immediately thrust down upon his knee. "I'll try not to shatter your skull." Alex fell back, a bloody mess, clutching his face. "But you may be scarred for the rest of your existance now."

***

"I think it's time you go back now..." Enerjak said, his voice somewhat distant.

"Wait... what? You flat out demanded that I not leave just a few hours ago! What's going on?" Cyba nearly shouted.

Enerjak took a moment to work out his response. "If you wait any longer, there may not be any chance of you winning the upcoming battles. A... chaos factor has been introduced. An Arrancar..."

"I'm not going to pretend to know what that means, but if you're sure..." Cyba waited for Enerjak's nod. "Then yes, I will return to Earth then."

"I will call you back when you are no longer needed... I require payment for my lessons," Enerjak told him. Cyba began to open his mouth to protest, but Enerjak had already opened a teleportation portal around Cyba, hurtling him back toward Earth.

***

OOC: *wonders if Zedd would detect when Cyba and non-Cloakman fight and send people to interfere*

[chibi cajones]

OOC: It's Adam and Tommy, not Jason. . And considering what I was thinking of as a next post, these events are quite timely. . Ah... and I need to edit the Hominem revelio in my last post to be spelled right...

Ah... so many awesome things just came to mind... which to choose...

[edit] Heh heh... maybe Flayk was in the group that captured Gotenks and Kikyo back when everyone was looking for Goton just before the Dashyr-fighting got kicked off? [/edit]

[chibi cajones]

Another set of feet touched down on the balcony of Clidax's tower and Goten was standing beside Anoreha and Pan. Now that eyes were away from her, Kone warped to Gohan's side, a waterfall of tiny blue stars flowing from her outstretched hand to heal the half-saiyan warrior.

"Anything you want to say before we fight?" Goten asked, his eyes going from Clidax's far-from-small sword to his face. "If not..." there was another flash of gold and Goten was a super saiyan.

*****

OOC: I continue to lose. ^^.

**********

"My lord," Goldar kneeled before Lord Zedd, who was still seated at his throne, "The Zeo Crystal is currently in the possession of the Earthlings we observed on our arrival." Goldar thought he saw red sparks around Zedd's visor for a brief moment.

"How did they do this so quickly without our notice?" Zedd half demanded, half wondered.

"They seem to have help from Tommy--"

"WHAT!" Yes, there were definitely sparks.

"Serpentera is ready for flight, my lord..." Goldar added--no need to miss out on information when Zedd was in a bad mood.

*****


OOC: I'm leaving this open in case you want to do something, Wolfstar, what with having a character there and Zedd being open-villain status. I'd imagine that unless the Watchers plan involves hanging around Earth, the moon-crew might depart soon, but I could easily see the combination of factors on Earth leading them to send an attack first, and it might help throw the heroes off their trail (since I'm sure by now they're getting paranoid). So I'll leave any Zedd-attack-initiating up to you for now. .
... and... I'm not sure if that's the right way to spell brief...?


BIC: ? Not sure if I should...


**********

"That's enough!" Kyu's legs were bent in preparation to leap for Flayk, when Kejek's wand pointed at him and threw him back.

"Don't be stupid!" Kejek hissed, "We've got an organized frontal attack going on. If you want to interfere, go from behind or above. And pay attention to what the others or doing; we don't need anyone else dying!" A spot of blood was visible where Kyu was biting his lip, but he took the invitation to stand again and took flight, followed by Shaoten. In an instant Kyu was flying at Flayk from above, Shaoten dropping to the ground off to Heldlin's left and throwing a kick at Flayk's side.

"Looks like there's no choice," Adam said, reaching for something in his back pocket.

"Umm, I've got the zeo crystal right here," Tommy reminded him, his eyes catching a glint of something bronze in Adam's hand.

"And we should keep it in one piece," Adam countered, "If this takes too long, though..." Tommy held the Zeo crystal in front of him and Adam, a silvery white aura expanding from it, seeming to push the others near them aside a few steps.

"It's morphing time!" Adam shouted, a gray light streaked with black bursting over his body as there was a sudden spike of energy. There was an unintelligible shout from within the light, and then it cleared, leaving a figure clad in black spandex and white boots and gloves, his face hidden beneath a black helmet with a trunk-like symbol running down its darkened visor. A white diamond-shape was across the costume's chest, backdropping a golden circle that contained the image of a Mastidon's head.

"If you're using force,"--the voice indicated it was indeed still Adam, who stepped in front of Tommy, "Then we'll have to fight back."


*****

OOC: I shouldn't have done that, but... ... ... AH!

[Wolfstar]

Adam and Tommy... of course it is... I'm just not that intelligent sometimes, heh heh.

That could be a possibility for Flayk, sure!

And... for some reason, I'm thinking maybe here in a post or two, we should intentionally neglect the Earth scene for a bit to pump some extra focus into Klidore and Esrevni (if we can get ahold of Gotenks and coordinate something there)... in an attempt to wrap up the saga and all that stuff. I know we've tried to keep things stable time-wise, but it doesn't feel too absurd to deviate from that now, for some reason.

[Wolfstar]

Bardock leapt toward the Time Matrix, carelessly throwing himself at the large white orb nestled in the branches of the Grand Genesis Tree. He knew that everything rested on Songi losing the fight, or at least being unable to retrieve the Time Matrix. He felt a burning in his side as a bright light shot past him, then fell back to the ground.

"Looks like my aim was off..." Songi laughed. "I meant to kill you." Before Songi could say any more, Goti drove his fist into Songi's solar plexus, which tossed the man aside as if he were a child's toy.

"How an idiot like you could manage to become an underling to the Unifyer is beyond me," Goti said as he stalked toward the man dragging himself to his feet. The green aura raged around Goti, whipping his hair around on top his head.

There was still a grin on Songi's face as he met Goti at eye level. "Perhaps I shall show you who the idiot is, fool." Songi's hair quickly changed from deep red to snowy white as the Ra-Seru at his wrist crept up his arm more, shooting off into a spike at his elbow as it covered his entire lower arm and part of the upper arm as well. "Thanks for the boost, Jedo," he told his Ra-Seru as he extended his fist out toward Goti. "Hyper Lightning!" Bolts of lightning leapt from his fist, striking Goti and throwing him back next to his brother. "Too much for you, Saiyan? And this isn't even Jedo's full power! We can get much stronger than this still!"

<Use all of my power, Vahn,> Meta told him so that only he could hear. <We must defeat Songi early. If not... Jedo may be too powerful for us to handle.> Vahn nodded as he focused his energy to materialize Meta into her own collosal body.

Heh heh, Yeah. That shouldn't take long, actually... depending on how frequent we all are.
... *predicts that saga2 will be wrapped up before the start of semester*

[Wolfstar]

Goten flashed Pahn a thumbs up, which made Pahn want to laugh, despite the desperate situation they were in. "Just like old times, eh?" he asked, the grin staying on his face for a second before it faded as he forced his gaze back at Clidax.

'Yes,' she thought, her desire to laugh fading just as his smirk had, 'it is.' Goten moved in for a punch as Clidax swung his sword in a horizontal arc in front of both of them. Goten barely had enough time to duck, but Pahn saw the attack as if it were playing in slow motion. She leapt up, watching the sword arc under her as she moved, and landed lightly with both feet on the blade as it came to a stop. "Are you even moving?" she asked as she kicked Clidax in the face, then flipped over behind him, throwing him into Goten's outstretched fist. Goten managed several more punches before Clidax threw both of the combatants away from him with a brutal release of energy.

His sword was ablaze with energy, which he threw at them in a savage release that caught them both by surprise. "Is that fast enough for you, b*tch!" he shouted into the dust cloud as he pulled back for another blast from his sword.

Pahn and Goten flanked Clidax, halting his second attack and nearly making him drop his sword, but Clidax's sheer strength pulled him through as he knocked them both away once more. The three of them stood still, the two part-Saiyans eying Clidax carefully as he watched them. Clidax only held a few minor injuries, while the two demi-Saiyans had a few wounds that let blood trickle out.

"I will not be the one to fade away into obscurity after this battle," Clidax told them, his voice still coming out as a shout. "I have done great things for my people, and I will not let it come to pass as a footnote in the history of Klidore. I will win, and I will lead them to even more glorious heights, and never again shall we be threatened by invaders!"

[chibi cajones]

Trogdor's wings folded as he descended for the tower, launching a blast of fire at it before his shadow had arrived. In moments, the beast of nightmares was standing atop Clidax, burninating all that surrounded him as those below watched on in horror.
... No, not really. That's an OOC.

But this isn't...!

OOC: Umm, ok, maybe it is. But I highly doubt this wouldn't happen here, so if teh Wolfstar want to delay it, finding a way is up to you!

**********

For a few moments, Clidax remained in one place as he shouted in response to the brief fight with Goten and Pahn. It was all the time Elohssa needed to position himself out of Clidax's sight, all of his focus locked on the Klidorian ruler's armored side.
Sending his own energy downward to root himself to the ground, Elohssa extended his hands and the air in front of him began to shimmer, then darken as a faint wave of deepest indigo flowed toward Clidax.

*******


BIC: Explaining now is bad storytelling! But as you need to know to respond... is indeed the same type of stuff from the RDF security. *says no more until the time is right*.

[Wolfstar]

Out of the corner of his eye, Clidax spotted the ominous-looking attack and wasted no time with thought. Automatically, he ducked down to one knee and slammed the flat end of his sword against the ground, creating a harmonic ringing tone off the tower walls around him. He had only used this technique once in combat, against the Heroic Union, and it would only work in this room of his tower.

Two shadows leapt around him, perfect duplicates to anyone's senses but his own. One stayed where he had been moments before while he imitated the motion of one of his Shadow Images.

[Wolfstar]

OOC: *wonders what happens with Elohssa's attack*
So it seems after we finish off stuff on Klidore and Esrevni, we will be ready to fling ourselves headlong into Saga 3 competely. Oh, and I guess I need to do the same with the Legaia stuff... but that could go a few different ways right now that would grant it additional (pylons) life beyond it's own saga... hmm...

[chibi cajones]

Pylons! ^____^.

Yah, I have no idea what to do with Elohssa's *ahem* attack... I guess it just ... doesn't... work?

And ... one of our teleporters on Klidore will be able to take whoever's left back to the rest of the group once it's over, unless we have something else in store for them?

[Wolfstar]

The mysterious man pulled his discarded black cloak off the ground and reshrouded himself with it, completing the effect by pulling the hood back on. "No sense in dirtying my white robes for this, since you are choosing to do things the hard way," he said as he lowered his stance into a fighting position.

Tommy shook his head slowly as he clutched the Zeo Crystal closer to his chest. "This doesn't have to happen, you know."

The coverings around the cloaked man's face did nothing to hide the determination that eminated from him. "The time for regret and cowardice has passed... I gave you a chance."

"You're the one that broke in and started making demands with threats behind them... I'd be careful who you're blaming," Adam nearly shouted over the noise of the other battle going on nearby. As the words were leaving his mouth, the man seemingly vanished from view, reappearing in front of Adam while throwing a punch. Adam brought his forearm up to block the first strike, but was caught under the chin with a second and tossed back and onto the ground. Adam swiftly rolled back to his feet, huffing a bit as he adjusted the black helmet that covered his whole head.

The cloaked man lifted a finger toward the transformed human and emitted an energy blast. In a fluid motion, Adam ducked it and conjured his Power Axe, flipping it backwards and firing two shots in rapid succession. The attacks seemed to make contact, until the man's image faded into an afterimage, his true figure reappearing next to Tommy in a flash.

An explosion of green light stopped him before he could reach for the Zeo Crystal, and at that instant he was struck on the side below his ribs, knocking him clear out of reach. "Hey, jackass! You interrupted something important just now. I'm going to send you home packing," Cyba said as he took a few slow steps over toward the man, moving his black hair away from his eyes.

"It seems like there is no end to the nuisances that flock around here," the cloaked man replied as he launched a counterattack in the form of an energy attack, which Cyba caught with both hands and compressed into nothing. "Hmm... but you seem quite powerful. And familiar somehow..."

"You know, I don't even care who you are," Cyba said before attacking once more. "I'm tired of freaks showing up thinking that Earth is their playground. We're going to end this madness, and you'll just be a step on the way there!"

[Wolfstar]

OOC: I'm going to go ahead and do what we discussed and hope I don't screw it up, heh heh.

The indigo energy wrapped around the true Clidax, causing the Shadow Clones to vanish. Clidax struggled to throw the energy off him, but the attempts simply made it ensnare him quicker.

"That is neutral energy," Elohssa told him as he watched, still guiding it to make the seal perfect. "It holds anything that contains abnormal amounts of ki in an impenetrable barrier. You won't be able to escape unless you power down, and then you will be weakened long enough for us to strike you down. I think you've lost."

"Nicely done," Pahn commented as she watched Clidax's scowl deepen. She gasped once it switched over to a raucous laugh, one she was nearly certain shook the air around her.

"Commando Joe, prepare the tower for blastoff," he said in a way that echoed throughout the entire tower. "Keep the balcony opened up. I want these idiots to die in the vaccuum of space." He reached into his pocked and produced the gleeming black gem. "Ensnares ki, does it? Lucky for me the Gem of Dispair works on wormhole physics. Have fun trying to breath!" The tower suddenly lurched forward, the atmosphere thinning greatly in mere seconds.

The flash of light emitted by the Gem of Dispair swallowed Clidax up, causing the man to vanish completely in the blink of an eye.

"We have to get out of here, now!" Pahn shouted as she began to feel light headed.

***

OOC: Yeah... they need to get out there.

"Dammit, what now?" Trunks asked as a man took form near him. "Who is this clown?"

"It's Clidax!" Atomic Blast Man shouted, firing off several blasts in quick succession at the man before he fully appeared in front of them.

Clidax swatted the blasts away with his sword as he gauged the power of the warriors around him. "Atomic Blast Man... I should have known you would be among those to defeat Terra Dax. And the Knights... did they come too?"

"Nope, you get to dance with my new friends this time!" Atomic Blast Man shouted as he lifted into the air, channelling the rest of his power into his hands. "Atomic Shred!" He released everything in his body in one savage blast that turned the Temple of Terra Dax into a crater on the face of Klidore. Trunks and the others barely had enough time to lift off the ground and escape the blast zone.

"Sheesh, give a guy a warning next time," Trunks told him as he caught him by his cape. "Looks like that took everything out of you."

"Yeah... the rest will be up to you guys..."

"The rest? That didn't kill him?" Tratz asked as his head snapped in the direction of the crater, revealing the Klidorian still standing there, his sword held over his head.

"Fools," Clidax muttered as he rushed in front of them in a blur.
