((Bah, not god moding, look at some of the stuff you guys have been doing.))
"Freeze [censored]!" Frigyd said sending an ice bolt across the arena. Sousuke dodged, as did Becky, but Reishi never saw it coming. Frozen in a cube of ice, she was helpless, at least for the moment. "Lets work together, it will be much safer." Frigyd said to Becky as the two moved into defensive positions.
"Tut tut girls," Sousuke said.
He snapped his fingers. Becky felt a blinding (literally) pain as her eyes actually exploded.
Sousuke then moved to the block of ice, touched it, snapped his fingers again, and the ice itself exploded, revealing a very wet and very irritated Reishi, whose arm was mentally reforming in her mind (OOC: She regenerates limbs all at once, but has to mentally picture it first.)
"You shouldn't play with dangerous explosives," he said.
(OOC: You've probably figured out WHAT Sousuke's power is, and you're probably guessing how it works)
((No, I don't care. I'm just going to kill his god moding [censored]. :P))
Coldfire and Charcold turned when they heard Becky scream. They saw the sadistic [censored] that did it and Coldfire literally when bezerk. Charcold stood back, and Frigyd got the hell out of the way. Coldfire never let anyone hurt Becky. No one. Storming across the arena fire began to radiate from his body. The Ice sword in his hands growing in size, unaffected by the heat. "How dare you do anything to my Becky!" Coldfire yelled in a fit of rage. No matter what Sousuke tried, no matter what he did, he wasn't leaving this arena in one piece. No one touched Becky. No one.
(OOC: Nothing god mode about him, he can detonate anything he touches with his aura. Ninja who manipulate chi such as Shinji can defend against it if they react quick enough. He's also limited to only objects he touches, and if he doesn't trigger it within thirty seconds, the effect dissipates. While he IS fast, a trait he picked up to ensure he could get close enough to touch people, he's not physically strong. And, as you've noticed, his explosions are limited to the surface which he touches i.e., if he touches the skin, it's like setting off a cherry bomb on your arm. However, the more of his aura he inserts onto his target, the more powerful the blast.)
"Temper temper," Sousuke said, grinning, "Rei-chan, your right hand works, right?"
"Of course, she only got my left arm!" Reishi exclaimed.
"Then why not use 'it'?" Sousuke suggested.
"Hrmm," Reishi grumbled, "Fine."
Reishi touched the earring she had put on earlier, and drew her hand across her body.
"Moeruyo, Kamui," Reishi said.
from her hand came forth a massive blade, Kamui. It was easily the size of a surfboard, yet Reishi hefted it with ease. It was also lighter than it appeared, at least in her hand(s) it was.
Reishi darted in front of Sousuke in time to block the charging Coldfire. The blade was normally used for felling gigantic monsters and pretty much anything larger than human size. In this situation, with Reishi only able to use one hand for the next few minutes, Kamui would function perfectly as a shield, at least until her arm could reform or Coldfire ran out of steam. She anticipated he would try an aerial attack, or some kind of burning or freezing blast. She'd be ready.
The intense fire was burning Reishi. The heat was almost equal to that of magma. "Get out of my way." Coldfire said as he knocked the sword out of her hands with one powerful punch, "This is between me and HIM ." Coldfire continued across the arena toward Sousuke in full knowledge of his skills. He could move at super speeds and he could detonate surfaces he touched. Coldfire stopped one of those. He would never get close enough to touch him. Sousuke was dead in his eyes walking toward him, he tried to run out one way but was blocked by a massive fire wall created by Coldfire. Coldfire's eyes lit up with flames as he focused his attention on Sousuke. Coldfire made a full bubble of fire and blocked them off from everyone else. Outside, the others could only look on.
((As you can see, Sousuke made a very bad mistake by hurting Becky as badly as he did.))
(OOC: The sword blocks elements from reaching her if she uses it as a shield, remember where I said it's a tool for fighting giant monsters? "Moeruyo, Kamui" means "Burn Up, Kamui"...it's a reflection of the fires within her soul. Basically just means the sword itself is immune to fire. Not to say it's invincible though.)
Reishi picked her sword up again, stood behind cold fire and brought it down hard on him. She used the blunt end, and the force would only knock him out, she had no intention of killing anyone.
"You're too hot headed, why doncha calm down for a while?" Reishi said.
It was finally time. With one powerful grunt that sounded like she was taking an astronomical crap, Reishi regenerated her left arm. It'd be another few minutes before her body could adapt and she could use it to its full potential, but at least she could use it to balance the sword a little more.
Sousuke moved over to the now-blinded-but-probably-regenerating Becky and held him close to him, putting his hand on her neck, ever so gently, but everyone knew what he really intended.
"Now, Mr. Hothead, if you keep this up, your friend will...unfortunately...die," Sousuke said...deadly calm.
"SOUSUKE!" Reishi screamed, "We agreed NO killing!"
Reishi immediately regretted bringing him in. Sousuke was known to use whatever means necessary to win. The only reason she even called him was because her friend Bright Star was stuck in some parallel dimension, Asuka was off on some assassination job, Ryuji was stuck in Tokyo, and Leo was in school.
He bent over and whispered in Becky's ear, "As long as you don't try to escape or your friend doesn't try to kill me, you'll be fine. I won't hurt you unless I have to," his voice was like a thousand needles, but was definately sincere. Sousuke never lied. He never needed to.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Coldfire said as the flames radiating from his body exploded forcing all combatants to fly across the arena and slam into the walls with the exception of Coldfire and Becky. Coldfire sent Becky's now recovering self to Charcold. Charcold new how to heal to an extent, he could help her, and he could stop whatever Sousuke had planned. Becky was safe for now. Walking toward the now recovering Sousuke, Coldfire grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air. Coldfire never regreted killing anyone, and this was going to be one of the ones he enjoyed, slowly Coldfire squeezed the life out of the man, watching his face change colors. The flames coming off his body burning him terribly. The sheer power Coldfire was putting into the death grip was unbelieveable. Sousuke was dead. No matter what he or his ally did, he would be dead. Coldfire manifested his sword again and shoved it through Sousuke's torso. "Never. Touch. Becky."
((He didn't use fire to knock it out of your hand, he just used his natural strength to punch it out.))
(OOC: But before that you said she 'felt the intense heat', it's also a warning. And I also warned you about what would happen next.)
Reishi stopped the blade with her hands.
"You fool," they both said in unison.
"Look at what you've done," Sousuke said, finally showing anger, "I want you to know, even if you somehow kill me, which you won't, that you're responsible for this. You could have just given up, and everything would have been fine, you could have just let things be. But no. You let anger get the better of you, you let it cloud your judgement. And now look what it cost you. I am merely a fighter defending myself, you are the instigator. You did this."
Before Charcold could do anything, Becky's neck exploded. As did the arm holding Sousuke. And the sword halfway into him.
Freed, Sousuke hobbled out of range. The wound was grim, he'd survive, but it looked grim.
"Anything...that...touches me...explodes. You're...a...fool," Sousuke said.
Reishi leapt to him and Becky and carried them both to an arena official.
"Y'see, Sousuke's power can only be removed by yourself. His aura mixes with yours, and only lasts 30 seconds. It would take a chi-doctor at least a minute to find and isolate it. ANY chi-doctor," Reishi explained.
"Now," she said, "I'll ask again: do you want to give up?"
"I'm not done with you yet." Coldfire said from across the arena as Sousuke hobbled away. He turned and saw the rage filled eyes of Coldfire. His body was now engulfed in white fire. The heat so bad it scorched the ground melting the metal. As he walked across the arena. Charcolds powers regenerated Coldfire's arm, making it heal quickly. As Coldfire got within range of Sousuke, he could see the fear in his eyes. The heat was melting his flesh, burning the bone and killing him in the slowest manner posible. Coldfire grabbed him, again by the neck, and walked over to one of the walls of the arena. He pulled his body back and slammed Sousuke's face into the arena wall leaving a large blood splatter.
(OOC: Sousuke already gave up, you just violated a rule.)
Sousuke wasn't dead, the arena official tried to stop coldfire.
Reishi appeared behind coldfire, raised her blade, and sliced him in half.
[ QUOTE ]
((You can't have burst from the ground BTW, forgot to say this, this is a fully suppressed arena. There is no going outside of the boundaries.))
Coldfire dodge out of the way and moved to Charcold's side. "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Charcold said without looking. "Yah." Coldfire said. The two moved back and froze an entire section of the arena and forced the ninja into a corner. Charcold melted a hole and Coldfire leapt through. Charcold froze it shut and smiled. Inside, Coldfire unleashed his most devistating attack, Inferno. The massive blast blew apart the ice and sent it flying in all directions. The ninja took the full force of the blast, leaving their clothes burnt and their bodies damaged. Charcold then anchored a small snow storm to one of the ninja. The two Kaisers manifested their Ice Swords and readied themselves for an attack. "Bring it [censored]." Charcold said with a smirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can attack them directly if you can keep them under control." Becky said to Frigyd still staring at her enemies. "I fight head on, don't you make me the non-combatant." Frigyd said angrily. "Fine. Let's go!" Becky yelled as her and Frigyd launched at the Reishi and her friend, both with their swords drawn.
((I'm really not good at GMing...))
[/ QUOTE ] ((cold....you have to make it seem like your char attempts to attack, you can''t always say that ur attack hits, and some of these attacks need to have side effects, like shinji's attack that he did on drone, it would leave him completely out of chi/end so unless ur gone, he's screwed...but thats just my opinion))
Meanwhile, after their attention was on Reishi and Sousuke the clone dissipated from the ice, and the robot bursted out. "Too bad you had to bring one out so early." Shinji said to Shinade.
"Yeah I know, but I'll release him until I really need him."
Shinade dismissed the robot, and commenced to open fire on everyone but, Shinji, Reishi, and Sousuke...
Charcold saw the oncoming attack and ordered Frigyd to make an Ice wall to protect them. The energy attacks were stopped cold and once it ended the attack, the two moved out and got ready to take down the ninja.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"NOOOO!" Becky said running across the arena to Coldfire. His rage had subcided for the moment. "He broke the rules. I took him down." Reishi said looking down at Becky. Becky leaned over Coldfire as he was teleported to the medical area. He had paid to be taken out of the fight in case of defeat. Becky wasn't done yet, she had healed. Not well, but she was alive. Her ability to instantly heal had saved her life, and Charcold had helped as well. Becky stood, her normally tied back hair in her face covering her features. She looked back at Reishi and her face was seen. Rage was in her eyes. She had defended a man who had tried to kill her. He had downed a man who was protecting her. "How could you?!" Becky said as she manifested her sword. A single move cut into Reishi's stomach and shoved it out the other end. The official was done, there wasn't a damn thing he could do now, he ran out of the arena as fast as possible. Becky's body glowed as her ultimate defense activated, her moment of glory.
((I realize the effects of doing things like inferno and how it drains the user, but Coldfire was fueling himself on rage, giving him a near endless amount of power. And I haven't seen either of you make your attacks miss. You have, twice now, made energy punches always hit. So don't lecture me.))
((but that doesnt mean you have to say they hurt...i dont ever say that i kill someone with an attack either, unless its a common enemy like a clockwork or something....))
Shinade swapped out the FMJ rounds in his sniper for 7.62mm rounds, and he opened fire on the oncoming attackers.
Shinji flew into the air and opened fire on them with a barrage of electricity blasts, hoping Reishi could handle Becky.
((Ok, just for the record...SHINADE IS NOT A NINJA, he's a gunman/swordsman who when unarmed uses kickboxing, he also has an ace up his sleeve, but I'm not gonna tell you what that is just yet :P))
Bullets were nothing to Frigyd, she could freeze every oncoming one, but sometimes she wasn't quick enough. Luckily she had armor to help with that. As she distracted the fighters below, Coldfire leapt into the air and unleashed a rain of fire.
((Shinade never uses regular bullets, he wouldn't be able to keep his job if he used regular bullets))
(OOC: Don't talk for my characters, And as for missing, you can check my posts: unless i'm literally standing RIGHT in front of my target, I always end my post with the beginning of that attack. And as for Sousuke...the very nature of his powers means he can't miss as long as he touches them)
Sousuke cursed as the arena official helped him out of the arena. He had a severe concussion, a deep wound to his stomach, and his pride had taken a hit. Had coldfire continued his attack and Reishi not intervened, with his dying breath he would have detonated his entire aura, which, given that a simple touch of his hand could turn someone's skin into a handfull of cherry bombs, detonating his entire body would have the force of a nuke, probably. Not that there was any easy way for him to find out. The biggest explosion he caused was leveling a building by focusing his touch on the supports.
Reishi, stopping the sword with her right hand and holding her own with her left, looked Becky in the eyes.
"You just started breathing again. There's been enough bloodshed today, and considering I probably just saved your LIFE you should be a little more grateful!" (OOC: Remember, REISHI was the one who carried both Sousuke AND Becky to the arena official and out of harm's way)
((1. You essentially killed my main character so don't get pissed off if I make her say a single line. 2. You think Becky gives a damn? You just essentially killed the man who saved her life the day she was cloned, brought her into his life, and made her what she is today. She really wouldn't care to much I think.)) Becky readied her sword again and said to Reishi, "No matter what you did to help me, what you did to Coldfire was not justified, you will pay for what you did." Becky said as she tore off the rest of her jacket for mobility, her leather underarmor already damaged. Becky focused her powers and started her body's instant regeneration and charged at Reishi.
((Oh, and about the abnormal shells. Frigyd has been fighting long enough to know how to freeze almost all bullets. The only thing is that incendary can't be frozen and uranium bullets melt the ice but are still stopped.))
(OOC: Coldfire broke the rules, that's it.)
Reishi just dodged Becky's attacks, parrying any that she needed to with her sword.
"Becky, you don't understand," Reishi said, "Your friend was going to kill Sousuke...and if Sousuke dies, he...explodes. You would have died, I would have died, that guy over there would have died, the ninjas would have died, and there's a strong possibility that the arena could have been leveled. I don't know about you but I don't want to be a pile of dust."
Reishi went completely defensive, only moving to block or dodge Becky's attacks. Even if the girl did have seemingly infinite stamina like her, mentally she would only be able to handle not hurting Reishi for so long.
Reishi's entire focus went in to defending herself, Becky wouldn't be able to land a single blow on her, but at the same time Reishi wouldn't move to attack her.
"Give up," Reishi said.
((Actually the point of the arena is to either kill the opponent or devestate him buuuuuut...either way, Sousuke broke the rules as well as you seem to see them.))
"I...will...not...give...UP!" Becky said slamming her blade into Reishi's. Becky made her sword dematerialize and she started attacking hand to hand. Becky's sword made her move awkwardly, she could move much faster without it. Moving swiftly with her own natural speed she went again on the offensive again.
((And again, it really wasn't a good idea to make you characters do what they did, and if you beat Becky, don't expect that to be the end of it. Charcold and Frigyd won't give a rat's [censored], but Coldfire and Becky will return to the arena.))
(OOC: How did Sousuke break the rules? He never attacked anyone who gave up.)
((Sousuke never gave up.))
(OOC: He had a hole in his gut and no superhuman metabolism. Notice the last bit of his dialog has a lot of ...'s, insinuating he is weakening. Reishi carried him to the Arena offical, who would deem him unfit to fight if Coldfire hadn't slammed into him to 'finish the job'. He didn't break the rules in terms of attacked Becky either, as even though she was blinded, the wound was obviously not going to have any lasting effect given she's a regenerator, a fact Reishi probably would have shared with Sousuke before the match began. In addition, she's still fighting, Sousuke isn't.
Reishi's attack on Coldfire was warranted based on the explanation provided: Coldfire was out of control, he was savagely beating on someone who would be more than willing to take the entire arena out with him. Add to that, he was savagely beating someone who had withdrawn from the fight.
Basic rules for most arena matches state that if the opponent gives up, they're free to leave the arena. Or, if a combatant is unable to fight, they're taken out of the arena. Sousuke doesn't have a medical teleporter as he's neither hero nor villain, if he's severely hurt he has to escape on his own or with a friend's help, which he did.
Add to that Coldfire activated his intense heat powers right next to an arena official. Reishi, Sousuke, and I'm assuming Becky have resistance to heat...Sousuke mostly just due to the nature of his power really...but there's no way to know whether the official would. Therefore, it could be assumed that Coldfire, intentionally or not, assaulted an Arena official.)
((There are reasons the arena officials don't mess with some of the heroes and villains that come into the arena. Coldfire is one, and Ryan is too. He killed the last official after all. Either way, Sousuke had no quams about killing an innocent woman and that in Coldfire's book is enough to kill a man. After all, if you knew his past, if you'd seen what he'd been though, you'd know why he defends Becky religiously. Either way, you still 'killed' Coldfire when he would have gladly given up after leaving Sousuke in the condition he was in. He was almost dead, he was a breathing wound. Coldfire would have just walked away after that one, and he would have taken Becky too. Just note that. I had it planned, but this thing with Becky's rage and her attacking Reishi is much more interesting.))
(OOC: A normal regenerator? an hour or more. Reishi? 10 seconds if she focuses her chi. By the way don't god mode my character like that.)
When the blade dug into her arm, Reishi grabbed Becky's arm with her own.
Then something went over Becky's eyes like a blindfold. It was warm like...a hand.
"Peekaboo," Sousuke said.
