OOC: That does suck. But, let's forget about it, for now. Anyway, looks like we'll be on Dark Midgar for a while... BIC: "Maybe we can search some nearby towns," Xane paused, scratching his chin.
OOC:...It's right there on the RP section. I always knew it was there. XP BIC: "Okay, I guess we'll trust you. We're missing some people, anyway," Xane sighed. He felt like he was playing the role of leader again. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if he didn't have so much trouble on making the best decisions. "Alright, I guess we can...Go search for the Virus now. Or at least search town for something that'll be valuable to the fourth god." EDIT: I'll scan most of CH. 1 tonight. Hopefully, my parents won't get pissed off at the (slightly aggravating) sound the scanner makes.
"Well, you seem full of yourself," Xane said. "As powerful as Xardius? As useful as it would be to have another living deus ex machina on our team, I'm not sure if we can trust you yet."
"Why would a god need to..." Xane started. "Never mind. What were you going to say before? You cut yourself off...And, uh, random knight guy, How do we do that? I mean, All of us except Xardius had enough trouble with the other three. How do we beat this one?"
"What would a god do with money, anyway?" Xane asked, before turning to the Knight. "That plan has a problem. How are we going to kill the Virus, without the Fourth god watching us?" *** Abigail stepped onto the ship.
"Uh...Do we have anything to offer the fourth god?" Xane asked.
"So...What do we do then? Wait for another Brotherhood member to try and kill us?" Xane asked. "Y'know, I'm actually tired of waiting. We've defeated Zaxor, Trent, Kardas, and Ravakov. Enigma, Novice, and Falcon are on our side. We've got Azull, Tul Raijin, probably some other top Brotherhood members, and Scourge, of course. Maybe we should start thinking up ways to defeat them...But let's worry about this Virus first."
"Bellas around somewhere..." Xane said. "Wing has personal matters to deal with. Who knows where Geryl. Same with Noxas...And I don't remember the last one you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure I'll never want to. Anyway, we'd better see what's happening with the Virus, right?" *** Abigail looked at Lexx. "What do we do now? Wait for some reinforcements?" she asked.
"You defeated Zaxor once," Xane said, laughing. "And Xardius temporarily lost the use of his arms to defeat that guy."
OOC: Might not be on a lot until two or three hours later from now. Homework. Just stay patient Nulix. I'll continue the plot? BIC: "Twilight Knight?" Xane asked, distracted from yelling at Xardius. "Look, only I can do that kind of crap with the alternate identities. Who are you, really? Vecked? Hojan? Alyt? Aeron? Skinnar? Jaxel? .....Sanderson?" Xane asked
"So, we're going to let them have the Virus?" Xane asked. "Have you lost it?"
OOC: Huh? What's going on? BIC: "Huh?" Xane asked. "What's going on?"
OOC: Only Ravakov knows. And Vincent just had to be badass and shoot him...No, seriously. This kind of has to happen. Ain't no way to stop it. Part of Nulix and my plans....Speaking of that, I kind of need Nulix to be online right now...But don't worry! I have various subplots lined up! Though Vincent just killed one of them... BIC: Ravakov was dead...The last of his kind...possibly gone. And he couldn't have felt worse. Before he died...he couldn't have felt And he hadn't felt happier than ever. Thinking back on his life before and after he joined the Brotherhood, he'd isolated himself from everyone. Even then he was cold, most likely due to his past. His whole species was wiped out in front of him. And he had distanced himself from everything because of it. People say Nobodies are emotionless. They must have never met someone as cold as Ravakov. And now...he was feeling regret? Too late. THe first time in along time Ravakov felt anything would be his last... BLAM *** Xane finally caught up with the others. "Hey guys! What just happened....?" Xane paused as the question died out, staring at the blood leaking from Ravakov's head... "Uh,....whoa." OOC: Seems like the Brotherhood's weakness is the head shot...Though Ulian Ecko was nowhere near Ravakov's level. EDIT: CH. 1 is done, but due to homework, I wasn't able to scan it.
Ravakov coughed as he lifted himself from a pile of junk. Staggering towards Xardius, he spat out a bit of blood before saying, "Vone hundred thirty kilometers. And seventy minutes. That's how much distance you have to cover and how much time you have," Ravakov pointed east. "I vould gather you friends if I vas you. You see, I predicted the shock from the electricity should have recharged your abilities. Aftervard, I assumed you vould release your energy in a similar manner to vhat you just did. That energy has activated the laser core I vas carrying. That laser core, now full of your energy, is headed vone hundred thirty kilometers east towards Cosmo Canyon, and is going to blow in...sixty-nine minutes. Vhen it does, the 'fourth god' vill awaken, and vith him or her, the Virus. Vhen he does, he'll receive a...present. Courtesy of the Brotherhood, in exchange for the Virus.And don't try absorbing the blast. By the time it explodes, it vill have already shaken the Canyons up. I. Plan. For. Everything." Ravakov breathed before falling over, unconscious. OOC: Sorry it took so long.
"Don't care," Ravakov stated. "I'm not a swordsman myself." Metal swirled around him, as he formed some sort of shield with them. "Hmm....Yes, this vill do," Ravakov stated. "I've been trying to do business here on this vorld...Ravakov slowly started. "all in the name of the Brotherhood. But my vork is constantly being interrupted by the likes of you, the U.P.A, and these varriors of Midgar. Vell, needless to say...I plan on continuing my mission. Even if I die trying!" Ravakov leaped high in the air, and pressed the metallic shield on Xardius with all his strength. The moment it touched Xardius it sent volts of electricity surging through Xardius' body.
Ravakov landed backwards on heap of rubble. "Hmph. A phoenix with it's wings clipped," he growled. He rose up slowly, wiping blood from his face. Summoning yet another piece of metal, this time forming a makeshift katana. Crouching low, Ravakov charged, aiming the blade at Xardius' torso.
Ravakov ran through each of them , well he buckled his knees a bit at Ultima, before headbutting Xardius and magnetizing his knuckles to attract various pieces of scrap. With his makeshift brass knuckles, he began punching Xardius repeatedly with his fist.
OOC: Sigh..... BIC: "I have actually," Ravakov grunted. "Not as a summon, though. I'll give you that." Ravakov proceeded to eject himself from the machine as the pieces scattered everywhere, out of sight. Ravakov kicked himself off of the top of the building and slammed his elbow into Xardius' eye.
OOC: Shame. Zack woulda won himself five bucks. BIC: Ravakov emerged from the flaming whole relatively fine, as did his machine which had taken on yet another form. This time a flying machine. Probably fire-proof. "Vhat's next? Bahamut? Planned for it? Knights of the Round? Planed for it. Any Aeons? Planned for it. Espers? Planned for it? You can't outplan me, comrades! It's simply not done!" Ravakov shouted as his machine flew off. "Not vith your pathetic little summons, anyway!"
Xane rushed up to Kardas, and kicked the sword straight through his stomach, smashing the rock in two as well. *** Ravakov was not done yet. "You must not know," Ravakov began. "I plan ahead for everything!" Ravakov, flipped open a switch from the main control. "Activate: Model two. Force shield set to thaw." The Death WEAPON pieces rushed to it, some heavier pieces knocking over the heroes as they came together. The machine itself looked quite different this time around. Now resembling some type of cross between an aquatic animal and a mole, the Death WEAPON proceeded to bury itself under ground.
