The only evidence that the Jack had moved was his cape suddenly swirling, but the next instant Xane found himself on his back, his leg feeling like a normal person would if they'd kicked a wall as hard as they could. *** Behind Vecked stood Sora, looking not a day over 25. "Long time no see," Sora said, smiling. Xardius wiped his eyes and stood up. "Here's your leader of the CG, Vecked," Xardius said, coughing. "The guy who saved the worlds a while back...that no one seems to remember."
"Don't worry about it," a voice said from behind Vecked. "After all, you could just talk to us." Xardius started laughing when he saw who it was. *** The Jack frowned. "Then we are at an impasse it seems. Neither one of us hitting the other. Not what I expected from you."
"You rushed at me, I prepared myself," the Jack said. "I'm not hotheaded. So either punch me or back down. Either way, I'm not stupid enough to strike first."
The Jack raised his eyebrows and flicked back his coat, putting both hands on his sword, still in its sheath.
The Jack shrugged. "Your move, then."
"You could fight me, Xane, if you're worried you won't get your fair share," Xardius said, turning his head with an evil grin on his face... OOC: Oh, lol, I only have like 5 minutes left...maybe I can mooch some time, but if not, I'll see you guys later.
At that exact instant, the Ace stabbed her fingers forward and unblocked Xegreny's energy outputs, proceeding in a blast that hit the Ace full on and blasted her backwards into unconsciousness. OOC: You'll figure out why later...now you can fight the Jack! Yayz!
The Ace rolled with the blow, then back-flipped, twisted and roundhouse-kicked Xegreny in the stomach.
"What's wrong?" the Ace sneered, cracking a heel into Xegreny's gut, and yanking him right past her with a quick tug on his front.
OOC: Pirate would enjoy this fight... BIC: The Ace smirked and raced forward, her fist coming up in a quick strike to Xegreny's face...
"Fortunately for you, my petal blades take a bit of time to recuperate, so I won't be able to use that for some time," the Ace said. "However..." Leaping up, she slammed sharp fingers into his arms, then flipped away from him. "Now we're on equal footing...I've just plugged up your energy outputs with 'injections' of my own energy. Try to summon your energy now, and you'll simply blow your own arms off...which can be messy to fix."
All right, tomorrow, at about the time of this post, we are going to start this RP. So anyone who doesn't have their profile in, please have it by tomorrow. Thanks a ton. EDIT: And so it begins. BIC: Tera Roth turned and blinked at all the four other people in the room. "Heya," he said. "Well then, I can see you guys are all a bit...different. But let's see...how much do you know about this JAC, hmm? You see, I'm the local expert."
OOC: Pretty righteous fight, Wing, in all actuality. BIC: The Ace shrugged. "So you can stop a simple bullet. But the thing is...these bullets aren't meant to even hurt you...but this is." Flowers burst up around her as she fired three bullets off from each of the three tubes, angling to either side of Xane and Xegreny and above them. As the bullets passed over and to the side of the two UO members, they suddenly spun and stopped in midair. The Ace clenched her fist and suddenly the flower petals ripped forward, slashing into the two UO members like thousands of tiny blades... However, they only remained within the three bullets. *** The Jack sighed as Wing appeared behind Vecked. "You two again? Hum." Reaching to his waist, he pulled out a short katana, still inside its sheath. "I guess I should say I'm surprised you don't know this, what with all your experimentations and research into the very core of the worlds, but...actually, I'm not. After all, it would take a veritable genius to understand, and apparently you're not." The Jack drew a scale on the sand, on one end writing light, on the other writing dark. In the middle, he wrote "Worlds". In the middle of the light side, he wrote The Ultimate Organization, with it trailing into the darkness. "Now, my drawing is very rough, but this is an accurate representation of the balancing powers of the worlds. For the worlds not to drive into chaos, there has to be a balance of dark and light. All light will result in an eruption of darkness at some point or another, and all dark will result in utter chaos and eventual destruction. Either way, the worlds balance themselves out in one way or another..." The Jack pointed to Vecked. "You're a powerful light being. You add power to the light, like it or not. Wing here is also a light being, and adds power to the light side. As you do this, the scale tips towards light. And so...emerges...darkness." As he was saying this, he wrote on the other side, "Brotherhood". "Along with other assorted parties to balance out your power," the Jack said. "Now, I realize that most of the UO are still Nobodies, or twilight beings, and you would think that would simply add to the middle of the scale, where balance is shared equally...but it's not true. Twilight beings are a very special case where in fact, their power is added to the side where they live, and work for. As the UO is a light organization, all of your representatives add power to the light side. "This tipped the balance immeasurably to light, hence bringing about extreme chaos and power fluctuation. So, you could say that the UO is the indirect cause of all this chaos, but that's not my point. My point is..." On the light side, he wrote "The CG". "The Central Government and the Soul Knights were already working for the light. With the addition of the new Ultimate Organization, the Central Government's leaders, a.k.a. the King and Queen, decided to cease all operations of the CG with the hopes that it would help level out the balance. That's why the CG has not intervened, or participated in this war beyond lending you Tera Roth, Tyre, and Highwind, and why you haven't seen us before Radiant Garden. We were trying to keep our own considerable power out of the picture. Unfortunately, it didn't work. "As you know, the UPA and Dai Jee have both performed quite a number on the worlds. Mostly, this is due to the fact that the CG never had direct control over organizations such as that in the first place. The CG was just a representation among these organizations, as sort of the guiding force, but not really able to tell them what to do. This was decided by the former King and Queen, and it seemed to be working fine, until the UPA began experimenting with Heartless and Nobodies, and the Enigmatic Knights' leaders began showing signs of corruption, probably due to infiltration by the Brotherhood." The Jack sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Well, sorry for the speech, but the point is: You assume that just because we didn't do anything about this mess was because we didn't have power...I guess what I'm asking is that when, not if, you defeat me, and meet my superiors, I want you to keep this in mind. That they've been torturing themselves over whether or not to help...whether or not it would just make things worse. And can you blame them? "Now, let's get this over with. I've got a lot of paperwork to get done." OOC: Now THAT is a long post...Sorry.
"Hmph," the Ace smirked. "You have a twisted mind, thinking that. Of course, if this was me, I would think this was all just...too easy..." The Ace chuckled. "After all, you can hardly think you're the first assassins to ever try to attempt murder on the heads of the Central Government...you simply landed, fought a few people, and think you own the place? Isn't it obvious?" The Ace grinned widely. "I did say we'd tell you...the King, Queen, and Joker are in the building behind us. There's a barrier that won't let any of you through...that is, until you've defeated us." Pointing the Outsider at the UO, she let her finger squeeze down on the trigger. "So I haven't got all day," the Ace said, as the bullet rocketed out of its tube, heading for whichever UO member makes it online first.
OOC: Yeah...it's the reason he's so strong. BIC: About that time, Tera Roth woke up, punched Vecked in the face, making him drop him, and brushed himself off. "I guess I got a little carried away," he muttered as a battered looking Tyre walked up from out of nowhere. "Let's go join Highwind." Twilight swirled around both of them, and they disappeared. "Better things to do?" the Jack asked innocently. "Such as? Honestly, we're the direct representation of the King and Queen, the head of the Central Government. We're here to...well, it doesn't really matter. Just rest assured that we're not allowed to kill you." The Ace snickered, and stepped forward. "I'm first," she said, reaching into her coat pocket and pulling out a silver Outsider. "Only stun bullets this time, sorry." OOC: If you've played as Vincent in FF7, you know what the Outsider is probably, but I'll explain anyway. It's a triple-barreled handgun with three different magazines, six bullets in each. Hers is modified to fire one bullet from each barrel, unlike Vincent's three bullets out of all three barrels. You'll see why later.
Simultaneously, every Highwind except for one disappeared into shadow. The one remaining grasped his keyblade in both hands. "Dance of the Dark Form 3. Split Omega." Yanking apart, he split the Omega keys up and shattered both blasts with "Rising Dragon Flash." Sighing, he turned to Xegreny. "And that's it for me. Sorry, I guess I'm just not really in the mood to fight. You can go help your friends now." And Highwind disappeared into the shadows... OOC: I won't be here today (except for now.) I gotta go in an hour and a half to a campout which I forgot about and won't be back until this time tomorrow. Sorry. :( And here's an avatar of the Ace and Jack (didn't want to look for a picture of them.)
OOC: Lol. BIC: Each Highwind skillfully dodged the blasts like the shadows themselves, slipping past the volley and forming groups of ten. "Blossoming Sakura," Highwind said, as each of the ten groups formed a flower of swords. Energy collected in the center of the swords... OOC: Hint - energy. BIC: Xardius grabbed Vecked's shoulder. "Actually, I do. I made a promise to this bozo...and when he wakes up, he's not going to be happy. In fact, he might just use Terra Wrought Corrupt again...which will kill you." Taking Tera Roth from Vecked, he turned and began walking away. "If you're leaving, then get." "Oh, leaving so soon?" the Jack said, stepping from a nearby house and yawning. "Losers," the Ace said, smirking, stepping out from behind the Jack. "We'll just tell you where they are."
OOC: Waaaah, I'm so sorry! I had this awesome post ready, but then the internet completely kicked me off! It wasn't very nice...I'll try to redo it... BIC: "Fortunately for you, I can't attack while in this form," Highwind said from nowhere in particular. "But I need time to bring out Form 2." Highwind's head and shoulders appeared in the approximate location of where he'd been standing, along with his hands which were being held in front of his face in a hand sign. Highwind's eyes were closed shut, and he looked to be concentrating rather heavily. "Do you know why the three of us, meaning Tera Roth, Tyre, and I, are so powerful?" Highwind asked. "First, let's look at the three components of a human: the body, heart, and soul. Tera Roth has a few over a billion hearts, Tyre has technically another soul, and I..." He smiled grimly. "Well, I think you see where this is going. Any increase in the three components of a human leads to a tremendous increase in power. Souls are the most powerful, then bodies, then hearts. The three of us have about the same amount of power, and together..." "Well, let's just say there's a reason we all work together," Highwind said. He reappeared completely and he opened his eyes. "Now. Dance of the Dark Form 2. Replicate." A hundred Highwinds stepped out of thin air to surround Xegreny. "After using this against Geryl, I perfected it, after realizing that my previous form was not good enough," one of the Highwinds said. "You see, normally I incorporate Form 1 and Form 2 together, using a body to step out of Form 1, use Biting Dragon Flash, and step back into Form 1 while another body uses the same tactic. However, I've since discarded that, and simply use...this." All the Highwinds summoned their Omega keys. As one, they pointed it at Xegreny, and said, "Omega - Crushing Dragon." As one, they sliced; the air pressure from the speed of their sweeping keys rippling and smashing together before slamming towards Xegreny with the force of a supernova...
Highwind smiled. "There you are." Drawing his sword back, he called out, "Rising Dragon Flash!" His keyblade burst with darkness and he ripped Omega upwards, slicing through the energy, diverting it to either side of him. "Dance of the Dark Form 1," he said. "Curtains drop." And just like that, he disappeared. EDIT OOC: Senior, which signified that he's an Elite division, either a Guardian or one of the Dragoon division leaders. That's the pic of Patrick Stewart, a Guardian.
OOC: Oh, ahem, sorry about that. BIC: Highwind shook them all off, and shook his head. "I'm holding back as much as I can here...and you're not giving me anything close to everything you've got...I'm not going to let you go...until you do." "So..." Highwind closed his eyes, then opened them again as his normally green irises turned blood red. "Let's play."
