Just keep on plowing through! That's my advice to you. On another note, I came up with another piece of advice the other day: Good advice never...
OOC: Just came to say hi. I'm leaving right now, but keep it up, this is great stuff!
Hey, what's up yourself? How's college life man?
OOC: What indeed? I need to be going in like 15 minutes, so I'll just say this is my last post, and leave it at that. Maybe. Depends on how quick you respond. BIC: Xardius walked up to Xane. "Ravakov's going to activate the 4th god and the Virus all at once, so that the Virus will go over to the Brotherhood. Dunno how to stop it though. So, I'm just going to let it happen." He cracked his knuckles. "After all, I've always wanted to fight something as dangerous as me." Smirking, he punched the air. "Oh, it feels so good to be able to use my arms again." The ilium ship roared up to the UO, Crissilia in the pilot's chair. She set the ship down and stepped out. "Anyway, we should probably head out," Xardius said. "I'll send a text message telling everybody to regroup at the ship."
OOC: Hmph. OK. But don't worry about Ravakov; there's hope for him yet. Mwaha, next Brotherhood plot twist coming up soon... BIC: Cloud and the others wandered back to the Seventh Heaven, meeting up with Sephiroth, who was staring in the distance towards Cosmo Canyon... *** Xardius stood on the cliff edge to watch the world end. "Oh, yeah, it's working," Xardius said, grinning into the chaos. *** Scourge tapped his foot angrily. "You still have a death wish?" The man before him grinned. "Since I didn't technically die..." Scourge shook his head and growled. "You're making me mad..." "At the moment," the man said. "It doesn't matter whether you kill me or not. It'll just happen like last time won't it?" "Don't get cocky," Scourge growled. "You're still only second class." "But when I fought, what level was I at, I wonder?" the man asked. "It worked like you said it would, but..." Scourge was silent for a moment. "You're saying you won't lose?" The man scoffed. "The only reason I lost was because of it." "Fine," Scourge said. "But just remember: you won't be coming back from this one if you die." The man smiled. "I like living on the edge."
Xardius shook his head. "Doubt it," he said. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Crissilia. Just like I thought." "Right," Crissilia said. "On it..." Xardius waited impatiently for a minute. "Got it," Crissilia said. "Here are the coordinates..." Xardius began kicking Ravakov in impatience. "Now," Crissilia said, and Xardius disappeared. Cloud and the others walked up to Ravakov's unconscious form. "Now what?" Zack asked. Vincent raised his gun. "Guess." BLAM. OOC: OK, so you'll have to tell me what to do with the thingie-majig...
Xardius felt the volts course through him. He felt it... "Oh, you're so dead now," Xardius said as Bahamut's seal shattered around him, and energy flowed back into his arms, filling him up, his arms healing instantly... As Ravakov's shield pressed against him, Xardius gathered the energy and showered himself with it, healing himself to perfect condition once again. Xardius, for the first time in about 3 months, felt GOOD. His fist shattered the shield and drove like a wedge into Ravakov's face. "BOO-YA!" Xardius roared, releasing his energy in a wave that sent everything around him flying.
"Worst form I've ever seen, except for the supposed army you guys have," Xardius said, flipping onto the katana and snapping it in two, then roundhouse kicking Ravakov back. "You won't hit me with a sword," Xardius smirked, landing gracefully.
Xardius was somewhat annoyed. After all, those spells weren't anything to cough at, and he'd given them a fair shot. And he was getting punched. And he could feel it. However, years of battle had hardened Xardius to all kinds of punishment. As such, he took the hits and returned the favor. Since he was stuck not using his hands until they healed, which was trying his patience to no end, Xardius used the next best thing. He ducked beneath one of Ravakov's punches with surprising speed and grace for his size, swept out the Brotherhood's members legs from underneath him, and spun, slamming the Brotherhood member in the head before he could touch the ground and bucking him back upwards. Ravakov's feet skidded the earth and he began falling forward as he tripped, but Xardius was there, ramming a heel into his chin as he back-flipped. Ravakov's head snapped back, and Xardius pulled out old training, ramming into him with his legs and smashing Ravakov backwards. "No matter whether you feel pain or not," Xardius said, brushing himself off. "There's no stopping inertia."
OOC: XD, what can I say, except I'm a genius? BIC: Xardius' left knee connected with Ravakov's sternum at the same instant, and then he fully extended his leg as he reeled back from the blow, connecting with Ravakov's abdomen and booting him back. Xardius rolled backwards, rubbing his eye. "Ow," he said. "That kind of hurt. But, hey...I live still." Xardius' hands blurred into action, and spells rippled from him like water from a rapidly melting ice cube. Thundaja, Firaja, Blizzaja, and Ultima crackled, flared, streaked, and swirled towards Ravakov... EDIT: I have 4 minutes. I leave. I'll be on a bit earlier tomorrow, FYI. Hope to see you then.
OOC: You hear that? He called them little! lol BIC: "Well, actually," Zack said. "We have one you'll never in a million years have planned for," Cloud said. "And I don't think," Zack continued. "He'll enjoy you calling him little," Cloud finished. "In fact," Zack stated, nodding to himself. "I think he'll get mighty mad." "And that could get scary," Cloud said. "Really scary." "Scarier than you, for sure," Zack said. "So, Aerith, you ready?" Cloud called. Aerith appeared on top of a nearby building. "Got it ready. Here goes...!" And she summoned it. The Phoenix. *** Xardius was simply sitting on his butt and then... *** Zip. Xardius was standing on top of a building next to Aerith. "Uh, hello...?" Xardius asked. "How'd you do that?" "My secret," Aerith winked. "Since you're my summon, how about killing Ravakov for us?" Xardius shrugged. "Huh. Sure." And he hopped off the building, landing near the Death Machine. "So, hi," Xardius said. "Let's play." And power erupted from him, hitting the Death Machine like a blast wave, and bashing it into a nearby building. Xardius then preceded to pound it with fifteen Firajas in as many seconds, and then smiled and waited. OOC: Mwaha.
"Is that so?" asked Cloud, chuckling to Zack a little. Zack smiled back, and snapped his fingers. Aerith's second summon smashed from the ground with fiery intensity, being of course a fire beast, and roared its triumph to the night sky. The massive beast known as Ifrit seized the Death Machine and dove straight down into the earth from whence it had came, dragging the Death Machine straight into the lava hearth it called its home and imploding it. The hole through which it and Ravakov had disappeared roared with fire like a few nuclear bombs dumped down a hole. "Bet you 5 bucks he planned for that," Zack said. Cloud shook his head. "I never bet against my foes." *** Kardas sagged, his mouth gaping like a fish, then slowly fell over and simply sighed, his body disappearing into shadow. Sephiroth retrieved his sword. "By the time we get back, Cloud and the others should have finished the other Brotherhood member," Sephiroth said. "Thank you for your help."
OOC: That's not likely to happen... BIC: Kardas coughed and then launched himself again at Xane, but backpedaled furiously as Sephiroth "cut" in, nearly losing his nose in the process. Sephiroth paced him, moving furiously with the sword, until Kardas was pressed against a rock and Sephiroth buried his sword in him. Kardas howled unearthly and began screaming in anger, wriggling like a bug on a stick. "Now! Do it now!" Sephiroth grunted. "Finish him off!" *** Cloud's blade beam cut off any thought of it distracting him, smashing the engines shut for the moment it took for Zack to pick himself off the ground, get hit by Aerith's healing spell, and then for both of them to unleash holy armageddon on the Death Machine through the use of concentrated Ultima Materia, nearly twice as powerful as the original Ultima, dumped straight into the energy veins surrounding the engines. With a roar, the engines short-circuited, and exploded, leaving the Death Machine falling. Straight into the hands of Aerith's first summon: Shiva. Before the Death Machine could begin regenerating, Shiva iced it. It froze in midair and then smashed to the ground, splintering into pieces. However, the main part remained intact, stopping Ravakov from getting seriously injured... While this was happening, Zack quickly doused himself with a Curaga spell...
OOC: Interesting since you said that you'd gotten it from the ships that Ravakov had sunk, meaning that it was simply metal. XD BIC: The Ex-SOLDIERs looked at each other, and shrugged. As one they sprinted through the bullets, flipped into the air, slashed through the missiles, left the explosions behind, and landed next to the Death Machine, where they preceded to pull out their lovely moves known as Octaslash (for Zack), and Omnislash (for Cloud). Which left Ravakov's Death Machine's legs crippled, and the machine itself toppling over the building, thanks to well-placed shots from Vincent and co. "Quickly, then," Cloud said, leaping off after the Death Machine, Zack following... Behind them, Aerith finished her summon and opened her eyes as the rest of the group, spread out around her, began racing towards the building, which was less than half a block away... *** Sephiroth's sword lanced upward, but Kardas caught it in his teeth and flipped over it, pouncing on Xane and opening his mouth wide... OOC: Kardas just really wants to see what all that muscle tastes like, I guess...
OOC: Well...no one's been on in a while it seems...I'm here for about an hour and a half, if anyone shows up...And don't sweat it if I'm offline, I'll reload the page eventually and sign back in... BIC: Kardas rolled with Xane's blow, and dodged like fluid around Xegreny's bolts, which meant that Sephiroth had to dash to the side to avoid getting hit, allowing Kardas to open his mouth wide and swallow the bullets. Sephiroth's hot blade beam sliced down at Kardas, but Kardas sidestepped and spat the bullets at Sephiroth, who shook his head at the maelstrom and stepped right in. Within seconds, he was toe to toe with Kardas, smashing blow after blow into the demon's hasty defense. "Get it while it's hot," Sephiroth laughed, kicking Kardas' feet out from under him and forcing him into an awkward opening for the UO... OOC: Because Sephiroth is cool like that... BIC: Cloud and Zack appeared out of nowhere, Zack's massive Buster Sword flashing deep crimson as Cloud's Advent Sword (tis what I call his sword from Advent Children) glowed pale blue... As one, they slashed incredibly fast into Ravakov's death machine, their X-Slash ripping open the metal armor, and biting deep into the circuits beneath... OOC: It is after all, simply metal. BIC: The two SOLDIERs were followed by blasts of various magic, two shurikens, and a rainstorm of bullets directed by Vincent, Barret, and the rest of the Turks. OOC: Yay for heroism.
OOC: Oh my...I have no idea what MyYearbook is, but I'm scared...I got a random email from somebody in Pennsylvania wanting to be my friend on MyYearbook...So I joined and it was crazy nutcakes...beyond belief... It's Myspace all over again. I deleted my account as soon as I could. And that was my small adventure into public internet. I like our forum. BIC: Kardas spun impossibly fast, catching Xane before he could land with an extended arm and backslapping him into a wall, where he preceded to lash out at Sephiroth, who blocked the blow with the Masamune, and swept a blade of blue energy at the demon. Kardas ducked the blow and reversed around Sephiroth, legs extending to bash Sephiroth in the back. Sephiroth rolled with the blow and swept another wave at Kardas, who dodged and slammed a hand the size of an anvil at Xane...
OOC: Blah, we need some action...I am now going to post much faster, so step it up Pirate! BIC: Sephiroth skidded to a stop. Kardas stood in front of him. "The time has come," Kardas said. "I can really kill you now." Sephiroth summoned the Masamune and smiled. "Just try it." Kardas roared and sprinted for Sephiroth, then sidestepped under and then over Sephiroth's swing incredibly fast and lunged for Xane unexpectedly...
OOC: Sorry, didn't see the next page...I'm unobservant... BIC: "Kardas," Sephiroth said. "Cloud and the others will handle it." Sephiroth began running for the outskirts of Midgar on the west side, away from Ravakov...
Cloud stood up at the explosion as Sephiroth walked out the door. "Guess it's time to take care of the other one. Let's go team." The rest of the group walked out the door. *** Kardas began running towards Midgar...
OOC: *sigh* BIC: Kardas smiled. "Party time." *** Sephiroth turned to Xane, Xegreny, and Tera Roth. "Shall we?"
