Clash Of the Multiverse


The High Lord sat in the shadows of his throne room. His Five Lord surrounding him. His red eyes flashed in the darkness as the Matsumoto Hitsunochi activated. The High Lord smirked under his cloak of darkness. His arm rise into the sky and slowly moved around with power and destruction. His mighty powers seemed to give his hands a black aura and leaked from them. His body rose from its resting place and hovered into the air. With a flash he sent a stream of black energy into the open hole under him. The force of the energy was so strong it sent waves of energy throughout the universes. The energy traveled down the ship to the core,where the ship sent several large pods that could hold around 3 people toward the universes. They would bring him is champions...................and the one one in the world that could defeat him. with a grin and turned his head toward his deadly five. They all looked back with anticipation.

"Go.........test their strength but do not kill any of them. Use no weapons. #3 don't use your fist no matter what. #5 stay here and be by my side. NOW GO!!!!!!!!!!" the five instant vanished leaving the fifth alone with the High lord. The High Lord growled and bent over. A small stream of blood sank toward the cold metal floor.



Takaya sat under his roof top at the head castle watching the rain pour down around him. His half metal arm was covered in water. His red eyes turned blue for a split second before he turned around and slammed his fist into the wall closet to him. he hated the rain. it cause him to think about the things he didn't want to. Takaya looked at the lighting that flashed around the castle. The land was beautiful and the castle were tall,but for that same reason Takaya thought they were so close to losing everything. Takaya continued to think Intel he felt a force. It was so strong Takaya fell to one knees and had to stop himself from falling. Takaya growled under the pressure and then it vanished. Takaya signed a breath of ease as he stood to his feet. this power was amazing it was like nothing he had ever seen.




Gorlack,as this was only his savage name,pushed back the enemies sword without trying. is brown hair swayed back and forth as his grin widened. He moves fast and jumped above the fighter. His leg slammed down into his head causing him to slam into the ground below. Gorlack stood and brushed his shoulders off before turning around and listening to the thunderous roars of his people. A man only known as Gorlack father arose from his seat and spoke with a thunderous voice that echos throughout the catacomb's.

"Gorlack my son is not affected by the effects of this universe as we know. Nevertheless his Passion for the kill is unequaled to none. He is the ruthless leader of this universe and we follow him tel the end. I'm sending five More fighters allow with him to this tournament. They well win and save this universe from the creatures and climate we must bare. i see my son as the way to the future. he was the runner-up last year but this year HE WILL WIN FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The thunderous claps and cheers cause Gorlack to growl they were nothing to him. He wanted to do what he wanted to do. If he won and saved them then it was in their favor but if he didn't he had a back-up plan. Before he could leave. A Wave of energy cause him to stop in his tracks. he froze as the others around him fell. His body didn't move a muscle. his eyes widened as the energy past. the tournament was about to begin.



The pods continued toward the universe int hem were the Deadly five. Missing one. They looked at the picture of their targets and grinned. Lord #4 did n noticing but throw the picture onto the ground. His target was Takaya Ohgi and his comrades. Lucky Lord #2 was seat next to him. He looked at her then looked away. He didn't smile nor did he growl. He just didn't care.



The Clash of the Mulitverse is about to begin...................this will determine the course of history throughout the universes.

[MaruDashi]

Kaede brushed away her hair lightly as she started off into space. She knew what was comming, it was only a matter of time.
She sat there quietly and decided she'd wait. Just wait. Wait for the tournment to begin.

Alice also knew what was cooming, but didnt care. She had far better things to worry about. She was working on sharpening her switchblades while humming to herself. In her head she was very well prepared, so worrying wasnt necessary

[Nespa]

Poona walked into the room where takaya was calmly. Though she herself was not really calm, she had felt a strange power it wasent much but it had left her out breath on her way. She frowned at takaya and moved so she stood behind him her hooves making soft clicking soft sound "you gonna get sick" she simply stated. Her hoof scraped the floor lightly and she glances pas him to the rain "i don't like the rain, it brings back things i rather forget". Turning her sight back to takaya she relaxed her arms and wondert if he would ask again. He always asked why she was alone under that tree when it was raining and she said that she did not like the rain. he had her saved her life from a man attacking her yes but it was never cleared why the male attacked her in the first place.

[Ranryou Roga]

"The high Lord wants us to fight them but not kill them." #4 Throughout loud to himself. Their pod had just split into four sections. He was going after Takaya will Leader was going after Gorlack,#2 was sent to fight a man from the feudal universe,and #3 was sent to the machine universe. #4 seemly turned his head and looked as he entered the universe. His pod landed close to a large castle most likely the head castle of the Universe. Lord 4 slowly arose from the pod. Its metals slowly began to sink into the ground due to the fact of the rain. For some reason the rain seemed to roll off of a force that surronded Lord 4. He looked up and with his eagle eyes and noticed his target along with his comrade. #4 continued to walk and entered the castle by walking past the guard killing them without moving.

[spleeee!]

Justin awoke from his sleep slowly.he had been wandering for days now and hadn't found the town he was looking for.he spotted the clouds in the distance and sighed "well at least it wont be hot for too long" he told himself. As he packed up his bag and prepared for the journey ahead he noticed a smooth black rock,he thought about taking it with him for a moment then perished the thought. "why take it?what if it's one of those tricky little bugs that latch on to your neck and paralyze you slowly?" after thinking about this for a while he finished packing and left it as he walked off to the storm

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia's ears twitched, she felt another coming on. Lately, they seemed to be getting worse. She began to feel slightly queasy. An overwhelming need to get outside started. With the ease of long practice she exited the little house quickly, to the back yard wher hopefully none of the Savages would see her. After a while the panic and confusion wore off, Aia took a few deep breaths trying clear the last of it. She hated this sense of complete and totally irrational fear, it inhibited her abilities and made her feel vunerable. Aia hated to feel vunerable. She stayed outside, a nagging feeling that the tournament was about to begin made her keep to her spot. Just wait. There was no point in going back inside now so Aia didn't.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya looked over at Poona and grinned. He patted her on her head and looked out over the land. HIs arm was dyed and the wall had reformed itself. he loved his castle and he loved his friends and his comrades. Some of them held his heart in their hands. Takaya was about to speak when he felt something different. Their wa ssomeone in his castle that didnt belong. Takaya patted on poona head twice before pointing toward the door. He placd his foot squarly on the window frame and jumped. It wasnt a long fall but i did tak a while due to the fact that Takaya had made a a metals rope form the castle rocks and was sliding down to the ground. he placed his feet on the ground and looked at the two guard that were dead. He growled and looked up at the top of the castle where he was. he noticed that the enemy had past him on the way up. Takaya grabbed his line again and was about to make his way up when the line was cut.

Takaya looked up and saw a hooded man with a large weapon pinted down at him. takyra growled and ran into the castle,it wouldnt take him to long to get their due to the fact that the stiar were in a circle. takaya hopped from stair level to stair level. he made good time. nevertheless it seemed he was slowlying down. It had become harder to move then he thought. his heart was beating louder and louder. He couldnt save Poona with the speed he was traveling at.

"Poona please hold on...."


#4 had cut the rope leading to Takaya. it would have easy to kill him once he got high into the air and then cut the room,but orders were orders. #4 turned back toward the little girl and placed the spiked side of his weapon onto the ground. He looked up at her and grinned. This would drew Takaya into battle.

[Luzifer]

A boy appeared in on of the heretofore empty hallways of the High Lord's ship... he lay down his back with one leg propped up against the wall and his hands acting as a pillow. He gazed up at the cieling, as though he looked into the essence of the steel material which composed it and saw there the swirling of tiny cosmos' all dancing to some secret rule. A vague smirk crossed his face, perhaps betraying a slight amusement but it was too enigmatic to be certain.

Lord 1 sighed gently as he looked up at... contestant A for all he was concerned. With deliberate slowness he got to his feet and looked toward the savage, they were all dead? He hadn't meant to use that much force. Those people weren't his targets... dam n! Things always turned out this way. He would have liked to just have gone about this with the minimum amount of violence possible but he doubted that contestant A would let him play easy after that.

Such, was life though for him. One mistake after another. He should have long ago become calloused to these sorts of things but... it still hurt. Everytime he killed it tore at him, even though he had strangled innocents from behind, it always hurt. And he hated it... he hated this life and he hated himself. But his duty was his duty, and there would never be a release from that... unless finally someone would kill him.

But, he interuppted his own thoughts, now is not the time for reminising. I'm supposed to fight him without killing him. Well, at least I don't have to kill him.

He sighed again and waited for his opponent to react.

[Tetsanosuke]

The stars so vast, the sparkling jewels in the universe seemed to envelop his senses as he traveled in the spiral of colors, drilling through dimensions as his destination was ahead. His blindfold seemed so dark, so filled with a sort of obscure aura, as though his eyes held some sort of forbidden grace. The fact of the matter was, a Spectral Mage with full use of all of his eyes was indeed the most powerful of the Rift in Reality, but he couldn't seem to believe his eyes, not yet anyways.

He would always wonder where the Highrazt's power really came from. He shut his eyes to his power, he saw that it was useless to just see what you had before you. You needed to feel it, make it known, connect with everything around you for you to really exist. And in that matter he found the best way to do so was to blind himself.

>Flash<

"Are you serious! That's preposterous Dariozal! Get a grip, you'll never break free from the Light's power!" A crash from a vase hitting the ground rang from the sight as a deep voice filled the air."I'm not just a child, I'm growing and seeing on my own! I can see we don't need his power any longer, we have our own! See with every eye you have, not just the ones protruding from that thick skull of yours Derak!" A younger, more courageous voice shouted out as a struggle became apparent."Silence! You have been given the honor.." Cut away, the younger voice came back "I'd rather die then be the right hand of the Light, because it isn't the true light!"

<Shattering>

Dario brought a hand to his pale forehead as he came upon the sight of a door, a door with large hinges made of bone and steel, the red sheet of bloody cloth that fronted it would swagger in what force was about him in this spiraling black and white.

"It seems I must let myself in." He spoke aloud, holding out to his side a small black shaft. From the shaft extended out his staff Vyzbrid, both sides coming to a stop at a good four to five feet all together. He swung the staff up and around, the crystal shaped like an orb would mold into a brush of sorts. The brush of translucent bristles was large enough to paint with yet sharp enough to get straight and smooth strokes, the bristles were a collection of all the colors of the spectrum running over and over like a forever slide show.

"Now, Ju-Rai-Gu Door.." He would stroke the brush at each syllable, making another mark to craft his spell upon the door. As he pulled back his staff he threw forward his other palm, and a hole of darkness opened into the door.

"Time to say hello..." He would coldly say, etching ice into his words as he soared into the hole retracting his staff.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko was in her room in the castle. She ahd taken a nice hot bath while it rained. She had just gotten got of the tub and had put her clothes on. SHe was drying her wings when she heard the comation above her. She sense something wrong. She looked at her window. She walked over to her window and opened it up to the rain. She put a foot on the window seal and jumped off and went down before spreading her wings and jerked back up. She flew in a large arch and headed to where Takaya was last. She saw Takaya and a black cloaked man.

"Hey you!" She yelled to distact him from Poona to give Takaya time to get up the stairs. She attached her sword to the living metal on her arm and flew striaght for the cloaked man. She swung her sword at his head.

#2 was sperated from the others. Who the heck was the feudal man? There were like thousands in the feudal univerus. At least the High Lord was kind enough to supply pintures. She growled and looked ahead at the univerus. It would probably end soon.

[spleeee!]

so far his day was turning out great,he walked right into the fiercest part of the storm which was right where he wanted to be. "now i can practice my lightning slingshot!" he said to himself as he slowly perfected his new water sliding technique. "now if only there were storms like this everywhere,then i could have some real fun." he turned his head and noticed a pod landing next to the castle he was training near and decided to check it out.

"quite an interesting piece of technology..." he said to himself as he searched the outside of the pod for an opening. after a while he gave up and walked into the castle he was planning to take shelter in after he was finished training "maybe the owner can tell me whose pod this is." he said as he pulled the water from his clothes.

[Ranryou Roga]

#4 quickly turned and dodged under the blade. His back barlely skemmed the surface of the floor before he used the base of his weapon to push himself up and kick Kimiko. He looked over as his target entered the room. #4 stood up striahgt and placed his spiked base on the cold ground. thunder sounded off loudly as #4 made his move. he moved in a zig-zag motion. Their seemed to be five of him running toward Takaya when in turth their was only one. #4 didnt know why he was number 4. maybe because they thought he was fourth in power. Maybe cause he couldnt beat number 3. He had foguht #3 over a small idea that cause the large idiot to go into a blind rage. Number 4 had beat him without using his elelment or his powers. He seemly punched him a few times. #4 hated the fact tht they thouhgt he was so weak. He would show them by finishing his mission first.


Gorlack slowly turned his head toward the new comer. he grined before laughing.
"So you are one of the Deadly Five i see." Gorlack was smarter then he looked,and he looked smart. He walked toward the man and stood a few yards away from him. he bowed to him before covering his mouth with his sraff. Gorlack toke off. he was in the air before anything else,and then was behind his enemy. Gorlack ducked down and spun around his enemys legs. he quickly uppercutted him in his mouth and wrapped both legs around his head. He leaned back and used his powerful upper body strengh to throw the man acorss the room.


Takaya jumped back as his enemy came for him and placed both feet on it. As Kimiko fell to the gorund Takaya pushed off the wall. He grabbed Poona and Kimiko and shot past the fighter ebfore he got to them. Takaya shot out into the rain and fell toward the ground. He used the wall to slow himself down before jumpping when they were closest to the ground. Takaya rolled and then came to aknee and let the girl loose. he looked back up at his roof and his eyes widened. The man was gone. Where to he didnt know. Takaya and the others were wide open in the open. Takaya growled while standing up. If he wanted to fight then so be it.


#3 slowly got out of the pod. His body was to big. he growled and torn the side off it. He stomped his way toward his target. A Machine girl that was great at gathering information. he growled and crushed the picture in his hands. His red eyes flash open,then closed. He wanted to go to the animilia univese and kill some wolfs but he couldnt. That would be the one Universe they didnt go to. Lucky them.

[MaruDashi]

Alice heard something in the distance. She grinned to herself and gave out a small giggle. She looked to a large tank like machine.
'Which to use...that, or do I want to make this personal?'
Her attention switched to her switchblades. A large grin crossed her face as she grabbed them and stood in the doorway.

Kaede stared off again. She decided to practice training again to keep herself occupied. She held both blades in her hann and twirled them like a batan. She moved with grace and poise and she moved while slicing through invisible enemies.
'must, perfect my form....'

[Luzifer]

#1 landed against the wall on his feet, seeming to stand there for a brief moment before hopping down. He sighed again, completely unbothered by the blood pouring from his mouth...Instead he looked at his opponent again and waited...

[Nespa]

poona smiled when her head was padded in public she would often act annoyed but that was because alot of people would assume she was his pet for some reason. She blinked when she felt the strange power again and and saw takaya jump out the window, she turned to get out out the tower when the power overwhelmed her. she coughed and sank to her knee's, looking over her shoulder to the man or whatever is was. her eyes widen't she could not move, suddenly the pressure was lifted when she saw kimiko even when the girl was kicked away the pressure was lefted because of distraction. she yelped when she suddenly was grabbed by takaya and they jumped to the ground. On the ground she stood when takaya let go and pulled her bow and arrow from the saddle bag she always carried and readied a arrow "what the hell was that, it had so much power i could not even move" she looked around for the man.

[Ranryou Roga]

Gorlack turned his head toward the pod slowly landed behind him. He grinned and slowly watched three remaining fighter get into the pod. Gorlack looked back over at the fighter and grinned. This fight was over for now. Gorlack didnt want to wadte time with fighitng before the tornament began. He entered the pod and sat as it toke off. He held his fist and looked at the blood that covered it.

"He was really that strong. Even almost strong then........" Gorlack leaned back and dozed off listening to the tohers complain and yell about the fighter back at their home.


#4 slowly reformed behind Takaya. his weapon was in the center of Takaya's back. It was on its dull side. He shook his head and looked over at the smallest girl. Her bow was made from the blood seal of Takaya. he knew this because he made it his mission to understood the faults of all the fighters in the tornament. Takaya,Gorlack,and only a hand full of people were on his level. #4 closed his eyes and jumpped back. It wouldnt be fair to fight him and attack from behind. #4 waited and looked at the three. His power again arose. It was sicking at the sight of his enormous strengh. #4 called out to Takaya calling him to battle.

"Takaya come......."

[spleeee!]

Justin sighed as he let the lightning dance across his hand.he checked the whole castle and hadn't found anyone,however he did find a map of the area that he placed in his bag for future reference.as he walked across the roof he stopped to watch a couple of people he saw on the ground "I wonder what they're doing out in the rain..." he was only able to watch for a minute before he evaded a lightning bolt that happened to strike near him causing him to fall off the edge. as he fell he brought out his left and right gauntlet blades and slammed them into the wall bringing him to an immediate halt "always redirect never evade,because when you evade you end up in situations like this." he said as he made his way down the side of the castle.

[Erikai]

Walking in the hallway, with her finger tips on her blade, Erikai heard a loud sound, as if something had crashed into the walls. Thinking she had got caught, Erikai, quickly and quietly ran to the sound to see what it was, “Maybe I can catch them first“, she thought. Opening a large balcony window she jumped onto the balcony and saw someone hanging on the wall of the castle. Her hands began to glow and both her fire and water element powers covered her blade, with the elements creating much friction, the blade was covered with a slightly bright orange and yellow light. She spoke to the male hanging from the walls, “Name yourself, are you one of the castle guards?” Her eyes where narrowed and her blade was ready in case she needed to fight.

[spleeee!]

shocked and a bit puzzled Justin slowly turned his head to the woman standing on the balcony taking note of her blade "well i guess i have no choice but to tell her what she wants to know." he said to himself "my name is Justin. I am no guard,I've come here for shelter from the storm" he said as he realized how stupid he must look climbing down the walls of a castle he was going to take shelter in. he thought it might make a little more sense if he was climbing up and even more sense if he was walking right in but instead he was climbing down. "pardon my recklessness,I seem to have fallen off the roof." he said as he relaxed his legs and let them hang. "do you live here?"he asked her as he prepared to let go of the wall.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko coughed up blood when she was kicked. She wiped away the blood on her lips. SHe had blacked out for a moment and had hit the ground hard on her back. That would hurt in the morning. She rose back into the air in time of Takaya to grab her arm and pull her back down.

Kimiko looked behind her as she resisted the force to kneel. She wouldn't kneel to anyone. She shoot across the same gap and swing her sword in a cresent arch to cut off his arm that had the spiked staff. Even hurt his arm if he doged. She moved at lightening speed. That was what was deadly about her. Even under this pressure . It couldn't keep up with her speed.

#2's pod landed and she saw her target. She walked over to him. She wasn't one to out right and attack her target. She liked to play around with him. Make them suffer before killing them. Maybe the reason to way the High Lord and #1 were even afraid of her sometimes. Her black cloak laced with golden treads hid every featrue of her body. She was going to have fun. She drew her katana and let it drag on the ground as she summed up her oppoent.

"Nice day for a fight. I hope your ready." she said.

[Erikai]

Erikai lowered her sword just a bit, and looked at him with a questionable face. “I am not the owner of this place”, she said with a strong tone, “There is a tournament taking place here, so if you want to have shelter then I advise you leave this place, or you may suffer greatly here. On the other hand,“ she added,“ It is mighty funny that you seek shelter over the roof, instead of under it. Why are you really here?” Waiting for her answer she had a strong feeling that he was giving her false information, seeing how his answers didn’t fit together.

[Altarsian Swordsmaster]

Silnik stared at the cloaked figure, but decided that he really didn't care, it was the night before a full moon, not the most pleasing time to be around Silnik. "It's not a nice day to fight, so leave me, or suffer the consequences you little whelp." Silnik tried to walk away, but the figure blocked his way and tried to slash at him, knicking his arm. Blood trickled down his arm. "You asked for it, prepare to die!" Silnik drew his wakizashi known as the White Fanged Sword and charged at the cloaked figure, but being hard-headed and unconsidering of his surroundings, he slipped on the wet grass. "That was not was supposed to happen...but anyways!" He got up and jumped into the air, preparing to attack.

[Nespa]

Poona coughed and sank to her knee's again as the power arose, her bow and the notched arrow fell from her hands. She glared weakly at the man apeared before her and the other two. Licking her lips she tryed to keep from getting sick "watch it you two i don't think he is using his full strenght" she wiped some sweat from her forehead.She was shaking abit 'what is he to have so much powr?' a sigh escaped her lips.

[Pirate Toast]

OOC: Altarsian Swordsmaster my character did not slash at your arm drawing blood. I will go along this time but please make sure you don't take over my character again

BIC: #2 sent out her energy making him carsh to the ground. "Air attacks aren't very affective on me." She laughs and smirks "I hope you are prepared for a world of pain...oh wait...oh darn. High Lord said not to kill!" she shurgs. "But he never said torture. I just have to see how strong you are."

She jumps and filps behind him. She infuses her sword with darkness and send spells at her oppoent. She wasn't having that much fun but she had a job to do. Her spell, if it hit him, would send electrial currents to his brain and jog his memory for a moment.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia felt something land. She jumped over the fence easily to see a gleaming pod. "Well...I guess it's time" Aia thought walking slowly towards the advanced looking peice of technology. She couldn't figure out how to open it. So for lack of anything to do Aia perched on a nearby rock watching. She listened and watched carefully, it opened silently. Had Aia not been watchign it was entirely possible that the pod would've left her behind. She got up from her place on the rock and slipped in. There were no fighters sent to Animalia this year, Aia felt lucky. The Lords were notoriously difficult to fight.

[Tetsanosuke]

A faltering rumble came from around the hole, it seemed as though his spell was being casted against. "Who has.. such power to trace AND attack my spell? I must reach my destination fast." The words he thought to himself were all obviously pointed towards what could be the source, this was the High Lord's dimension now, and he was the one with the power he sought. With that power he was sure the High Lord didn't even need to think about the movement of his energy, only enact them like the fusion of the sun, as though they were set in stone by fate. He sped up his descent, attempting to zoom faster through the collapsing hole of dark matter and force, he felt the power ripping at the lengths of his trench coat as well.

"I must find the exit... but where?" He turned his head around, using the inner confines of his mind to echo out a psychic sonar of a sort, and then the light took shape in his mind in the form of a powerful blade.

"It seems I'm going to have to cut through, Xault Amin Jenju!" He formed the dark red orb which seemed fogged black on the inside at his palm and slammed it into the crystal of Vyzbrid, and with a powerful spin the crystal extended outwards into a massive scythe blade. The blade had the same color as his brush from earlier, and it seemed to suck in the light around him which wasn't much (or so he thought).

"Sheen Xault, cut with your blinding fury!" He shouted out with his spirit burning as he reared the staff with both hands above his head, and with a powerful swing he slashed forwards into the darkness. Like a vacuum the open way sucked him into a plethora of colors and lights, all filling his senses with an overwhelming shock before he hit the floor, the hard stone floor of an unknown area.

He grunted as he felt Xault enter his body, and Vyzbrid retracting into his hand. He laid on that floor, curled up some from the aftershock of power with was still upon him in an aura of multicolored lights.

[spleeee!]

"i was going to practice a new technique,but i got distracted and was almost struck by lightning.unfortunately i moved out of the way just far enough to fall of the edge instead of redirecting it like i should have." he said to her while flexing his spikes. "there's a tournament here you say? well there's someone I'm looking for and if it's the tournament run by the high lord then i must enter,that's the only way i know how to find her and bring her home." he took a deep breath to try and suppress the pain from hanging on the wall "oh and can i come inside? it's becoming increasingly hard to hold on to the wall." he placed his legs back on the wall to lighten the pain and took another deep breath.

[Ranryou Roga]

#4 jumped back away from the girl. her blade barfly cut his arm. His blood dripped to the ground as he growled and pointed his staff toward the air. The lighting flashed around him as the weight of the surrounding area began to increase. #4 moves quickly as he flash behind the girl. He slapped the girl back toward Takaya and looked at him. His power began to rise as a spell slowly fired from his arm. A ball of blue light fired at Takaya,and with the increased weight,he wouldn't be able to dodge it without getting hit some. The ball turned and headed toward the girl that attacked him. It moved fast as #4 rushed right behind it. He stabbed his staff into the ball as it was about to hit the girl.


Takaya's blood spread onto the ground around him. He had jumped and used his body to block the ball and the staff. His metal arm held the staff in place. As Takaya looked up at the fighter. He had never changed in front of the others,and didn't plan to Intel now. He was mad and this wasn't good. Takaya's eyes turned green ad did his eyes. He growled as he uppercuts the man. It sent him flying backward into a tree. Takaya's hair and eyes returned to red as he fell to his knees. The increased weight and the fact that he pushed himself was to much. Takaya looked at the man as he stood to his feet. He growled and try ed to stand. He couldn't.


#4 grinned under his cloak as he stood. This was surprising. he turned around and disappeared. A pod toke his place and #4 returned to his. He had finished his mission and discovered the Takaya would make a interesting opponent.




The High Lord sat in his throne room inside his ship. He watched as the pods returned to the ship and the fighters began to gather in the large arena. He grinned as #4's pod returned first. he had finished all ready. that was something new. Then Gorlacks arrived. This was very interesting. He leaned forward as #5 entered the room. He grinned at the High lord before sitting down in a chair close to him.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko shook her head and ran to Takaya "Takaya!! Are you alright?!" She helped him stand and walked over to the Pod. "Poona, there is room in the back. Help me lift him n the pod seat. He is heavy!" she set him down next to the pod and ripped the bottom of her shirt and wraps the pieces around Takaya's wounded arm.

She didn't know who that guy was and if she ever saw him again. Well, let's just say it won't be pretty.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya grinned at the others. That warrior was on another level. He was fater then Takaya and stronger. He was all together smarter also,and seemed to be three steps ahead of them. takaya grinned before looking over at Kimiko. "Are you ok?"

[Pirate Toast]

She smiles and nods. She rubs her shoulder. She was bleeding from a few sratches but nothing big. She was also bruised in the middle of her wings. "Nothing big. Just bruised and sratched. Bleeding here and there. Why did he have to come right after I took a bath and was warm in clean! Now I am wet and cold and bruised and scratched!" She complained and laughed.

[Altarsian Swordsmaster]

OOC: Sorry Yukari, this is my first time at an RPG and i didn't mean too.

[Pirate Toast]

OOC: *she smiles* Nah it is alright. I understand. And btw don't post and not RP on the RPG. PM me if you need more tips of questions ^^

[Erikai]

“As I said before, it‘s not my castle,” she said while placing her foot on the side of the balcony as she extended her hand out to help him from upon the wall. “I do not know how to ‘enter’ the tournament, but I have a feeling that just by walking onto the castle grounds we are caught up in it”, she continued, “I too am in search of a person, my brother who was taken by one of the High Lord’s minion. If I can not find my brother, then I will get revenge on the one who took him from my family, all the same. This person you search for, any details on her,” she said awaiting an answer.

[spleeee!]

he retracted his left gauntlet blade and grabbed her hand,then retracted his right gauntlet blade and swung onto the balcony. "well," he said as he pulled the water from his clothes again "she has light blue hair,she's about as tall as me,beautiful blue eyes-" he stopped himself to wipe a tear from his eye as memories of her flooded his mind. "and last time i saw her she was wearing a purple kimono." this was the first time he had told anyone about her in a long time and he didn't like the feeling,but he wasn't in the mood to keep hanging there or fight her in such a disadvantageous position or even fight her at all. he needed to find that grotesque monster,finish him off and get Janus back home safely. "we seem to have similar goals,by the way what's your name?" he asked her as he massaged his arms

[Nespa]

Poona placed her bow and arrows in the saddle bags and trotted over to takaya and kimiko. she pulled a jar of cream from her other saddlebag and started to put it on takaya "keep stil takaya" she cringed a bit the cream smelled awfull and it would sting a bit to but altist the wounds would heal faster that. she looked at the two "why would it attack and leave like it did anyway, it didn't make sense" a rumbleling was heard in the air and she looked up it was dry now but it seemed another rainfall would start. blinking she muttered "i really dislike rainy days" looking at kimiko she turned towards her the jar with cream in her hands.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko cringed away from cream then sighed "If it works then go ahead, Poona." She gritted her teeth. She didn't like pain much when she knew it was coming. Most of the wounds she has had were from fighting and at the time of the fight you really don't feel much pain. The pain come in afterwards with medicine.

[Erikai]

“I am called ‘Erikai’, if we don’t move now we will never find the ones we are looking for”, she said while enclosing her blade back in it’s sheath on the left hips from her right hand. She began to walk quietly on the balls of her feet, remembering to be very quiet she said, “If only I could find the High Lord, then I would have a strong chance of finding my brother.” A strong sent of blood flowed past Erikai’s nose, getting excited she began to ran, up suddenly stopped saying, “Even If I was to follow my nose to the blood, the smell has probably gone through-out the whole castle, it would be as if we’re walking in a maze.” She began to get angry thinking that she should follow the sent anyway. “It’s better then doing nothing at all”, she said before she began running again.

[spleeee!]

"well nice to meet you Erikai" he said to her just before she ran forward.he ran to catch up with her and nearly ran into her when she stopped "what are we running for?" he said chasing after her when she ran again. "and where are we going?" this was turning out to be one of his worse days as time passed,and he didn't even get to try out his new move which could have been one of the highlights of his day. he also noticed he was acting a lot like he did when he was younger which was bad,"well wherever we are going it better get me closer to Janus,who knows what's happening to her right now." he mumbled

Janus froze her body slowly making sure she didn't kill the parts she was freezing after all why kill yourself if you're planning to be saved? as she got up to her head she took extra care to keep conscious in a state of meditation so she could keep herself frozen until justin came to save her.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

OOC: Woot! Alright, so ready for this.

Shikaru Inari walked down the halls of the castle. Already knowing of the tournament that would be taking place, he thought of what would befall him, and others around him. "This tournament.........not much has been said of it. And the less I know about it, the more interesting it becomes to me. The High Lords are trustworthy, I shouldnt be worrying about this 'tournament' like I a......ugh...."

Through the hall, rushed in a fowl smell, one Shikaru had recognized before. Although he has smelt it many times before, he couldnt pinpoint exactly what it was, until it soon hit him as he took another whiff of it. "Blood......what is the smell of blooding doing, rushing through the castle?" Noise was heard not too far off from him. He turned, looking down another corridor of the castle, and saw Erikai being trailed by Justin. He had seen Erikai around the castle before, although never became acquainted with her. Justin, on the other hand, was a completely new face to him.

The two of them were moving in haste, and it was not his job to stop them. His eyes turned toward, making it obvious that he wanted something to do with the two of them. Although, he just stood there, not opening his mouth, waiting to see if either of them would react to him.

[Erikai]

“I heard that,” she grunted, “ I smell blood but the whole castle will probably reek of the blood smell, if only I had a full tour of this place maybe I could find our way easier,” she said crouching low to the ground and sniffing the air. Erikai sniffed two more times before turning around to Justin and saying, “The sent is coming from there and flowing into us, maybe there’s an exit-,”she paused in her sentence noticing a figure down the hall past Justin. Thinking she had seen him before she didn’t really speak, for much of the fact that Shikaru didn’t say or do anything the last time they encountered.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

"Erikai, right?" Shikaru asked, deciding that she could do more in this situation than anybody else that he could think of. "I've heard you've got some pretty good senses, better than the rest of us. If I'm right, then I know you already have smelled that blood, right?" He asked, slightly shrugging his shoulders. "And the name is Shikaru Inari, if you didnt know before."

After asking her about the scent, he then looked behind to Justin, who strangely looked as if he was worried about something, or someone. He then looked back to Erikai. "So?"

[spleeee!]

"hmm..." he knew all he wanted to know now and had nothing to say so he stood quiet while he waited for the discussion to end

[Erikai]

Straitening her posture she spoke on to Shikaru, “I am Erikai, the one who holds the wolf blood in my own veins. My senses my not be able to do much with out an out-look of the castle,” she continued, “I noticed the blood flowing my a few seconds ago, judging on how we are on the far end of the castle, my guess would be that the rest of the castle will be full of the blood sent, Inari-sama.” Turning to the left a bit facing another corridor she spoke again, “If I am correct though, there should be an exit down this way,” she said pointing with her index finger down the corridor walls, having a feeling that it was all Shikaru wanted.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

"Hmm....." he looks down the way corridor that Erikai pointed to, and nodded. "Then, if you know where your headed and everything, then you wouldnt mind me coming along, would you? You already know about the tournament, right? I think that maybe this smell of blood could have something to do with all of this, and I'm gonna find out, somehow." He said, as he slowly turned his head back to Erikai.

If he was to come with her, and this other guy, chances are that he would find something out about this entire tournament business. It was his best bet, and he wasnt going to waste a chance to find out more about it.

[Erikai]

“I’m fully aware of the tournament , but I didn’t come to fight for it,” as she spoke she turned into the left corridor and began looking for the exit, “If you wish to come along it’s your choice but I don’t plan on slowing down for either one of you.” Showing how stubborn and heartless she could be she began to sniff around for the exit lowering her self to the ground once more coming to a stair case that seemed to go down she looked down it to see where it would lead and she began to walk down the steps silently, "I said wan't going to slow down," she said advancing down.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Shikaru sighed, as her attitude completely, and unexpectedly, changed. "Looks like first impressions dont mean anything, really. I definently didnt expect that one." He thought, giving a quick glance to Justin. "But dont worry, I wont be slowing anybody down." he said, as he looked away, back to Erikai who was heading down some nearby stairs. He followed behind her at a normal pace, regardless of the warning she had given him and Justin.

"And I have a feeling...." he thought, suspiciously. ".......we're all going to be fighting in that tournament....regardless of what we want to do."

[spleeee!]

Justin followed her without even thinking about it. he didn't like this shikaru guy, but felt as long as he left him alone he was fine with that.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

OOC: Hey it's back. Well lets make sure it turns into a good rpg after all that hassle :D

Rei felt weak. How could a meaningless battle take so many lives? Gorlack and one of the high lords puppets had just swept through the street and killed a lot of people. Amazingly he survived and had ran off back to his home to grab a small amount of money, food and his weapon and armour. He was going to go after Gorlack to this tournament and kill him, and the lord aswell. he knew that he was probably running towards his death but he couldn't care less, there was nothing left in the savage universe anyway. Only more pain...
He ran on in the direction Gorlack had taken minutes before. He knew he had to make it to the pod, and only one had fallen, if he missed his chance he wouldn't be able to avenge.
Looking up he stopped running, the pod was taking off. He fell to the floor and breathed, the run had taken it out of him. Rei hit the floor hard and his chain-mail rattled, giving him one last idea, and one last chance.
All tiredness vanished as he jumped up and ran into the richer district of town. He remembered a job he had been sent on for a gang-lord. It was to fix armoured plates onto his new ship, he had requested the best metal and that was what Rei's armour was made from, thus reminding him.
He remembered the gang-lord was boasting about the ship as he worked and told him about the amazing speed of his craft. It supposedly could reach any other universe in under 5 minutes. Using this Rei hoped he could fly to another universe and hopefully get a ride on another pod.
Now he just had to steal it...

[Ranryou Roga]

OCC: YEAH its back. Ok no more one liners ok and no occ's without posting aswell ok. Thanks ^.^


Bic: Takaya growled under the pain. That cream hurt like never before. His wounds were not as bad as he thought and he would heal by thhe time they go to the ship. He was locked in thought thinking about that fighter. He was strong Takaya knew that but he still wasnt able to get in a hard hit. Even if he uppercutted the man it still seemed to do nothing to him. Was it a test? Something to make sure He was ready for the tornament? Takaya didnt understand anything that was going on. All he knew was that he alone would destroy the man along with Gorlack.



#3 Made it to the place where he was sent. The others may be done by now but he would finish his mission in a matter of seconds. #3 stompped into the machine castle and began to smash everyone and everything around him. he stopped and called out to them.

"The fighter that is in my masters tornament come out and face me now!!" he growled and slammed his axe into the ground sending waves of pressure around the building.


Gorlack sat in the pod as it made its way toward the ship. he had something to take care of before he fought anyone else. First to find out why the high lord sent his #1 fighter after him knowing Gorlacks secret and second way he felt like he was being watched.

"Gorlack..........he are going to have to switch before the tornament beginnings." He growled before closing his eyes. This tornament would be full of Surprises.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei kept to the shadows, and the cold dark savage universe was full of them. He was lucky not to be seen as he crept down the streets up towards the main garage. He made it with only one small incident, but he ran away quickly and silently.
Hiding behind a small stack of barrels he could see the ship with the pale blue metal plates. Those were the special metal he himself had bolted on. Two thugs were talking a bit away from him.
"This drug-run won't take long, i expect you back within 15 minutes. There's a small den just outside of the capital in mystic universe. Fly over the capital with the stealth machine activated, you won't need much else."
The larger thug turned away, "Oh and leave the cargo bay open, it's quicker that way."
Rei almost jumped for joy, this was too easy. He ran almost silently, he cursed the rattling of his chain mail, however the ships engines his the sound. Finding his way to the back of the ship he saw the large opening of the cargo hold. this time he crept along ans sat in between a cargo box and the ships wall.
No one would find him there...

OOC: i'll have caught up soon...

[Luzifer]

#1 sighed as he leaned back against a wall along the main corrider of the shift, he had long since returned from the "fight" on the savage world and was no merely trying to avoid having to deal with any more unpleasantness. He knew full well that as long as this world existed the unpleasantness would find him, so there was little point in actively looking for it. Maybe others took pleasure in the act but he... felt... ... ... he silently clicked his tongue, a small motion of the muscle which brought no respite from things intranscient but which was always performed in the hope they would. He looked at the glistening metal surface... the way it tried vainly to glimmer but had been so coated by the tread of men's boots that it no longer could,

Sain looked up as Gorlack began to approach his corridor... Actually, if someone had been there they would have seen the boy react long before either sound, smell, or sight or even that false concept of "sense" would have told of his approach... Sain slide up and waited... his pale hair gently pushed slant-wise across his forhead.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

The ship took off with Rei on it. He could hardly believe his plan was working, what a stroke of luck! He sat back and waited, if they were flying over the capital there was bound to be a body of water he could jump into, maybe a moat or lake.
"We've entered the mystic, turn on the cloaking device!"
Rei flinched when he heard the shout but settled back down, while crawling to the open hatch.
He could see the castle ahead with a small lake next to it, and they were going to fly over it, perfect...

[MaruDashi]

Alice could hear the giant from a short distance. She waltzed over to the area she heard the voice, and made her self seen. A large smirk crossed her face as she gave a little wave.
"Why, could you mean lil ol me?"
Her eyes flashed malice and madness, she loved this.
Alice looked over to the giants weapon.
'Pff, he expects to take me on with that big thing?'

"Bigger is never better" she mumbled to herself.

Kaede wondered a bit until she found herself in front of a large castle. It didnt occur to her that it was raining. She looked it over and wondered to herself as to how long it had been there, and why she never noticed it before. She looked about her surroundings and realized it was because she had wondered afr beyond her usual strolls, and that she was, in fact, lost.

[Nespa]

Poona putted some cream on the other girls wounds ignoring the cringing and the slight whining that it smelled and stung. screwing the cap back up she looked at kimiko "it helps heal the wounds faster" smirking she decided to make the two cringe for a moment "it's the moose poo that i put in it that causes the stinging ya know"she smiled looking rather innocent.

[Ranryou Roga]

OCC: Ok naruto,and Erikai,ive had it where takaya come and gets you. Spleeeeeeeee and left us. ill take over his chracter.


#3's grinned widened as he found his target. His machine eyes scanned her body as he rised his axe into the air. He yelled before slamming it into the ground. The force of the axe sent waves down the metal. Lifting it up and bringing it toward him. he smiled as Alice was slowly picked up and brought to him. He stomped his foot down stopping the metal. dropping Alice 12 yard ahead of him. This was his fighting range. He cut a line into the metal infront of him. If she could pass this line she was worthy.

"Fight me Little one....."


Takaya looked over at Kimiko. She seemed to be angry. He blushed before standing up and leaving the pod. Their were a few more fighters that still didnt make it. He walk back to the castle as he felt something. he looke dover at the great lake and watched something gleam before disappearing. Takaya shook his head and continued. He made it to the others and directed them to the pod. Once they got closer takaya feel his wound reopen. Way a cut from a blade like that shouldnt have hurt him so badly.


Kimio watched takaya leave. She felt him coming back as she looked from the pod. It was raining again. She looked as takaya grabbed his wound. She rushed to him and looked him over. It was his pride that was hurting him not the wound. She looked into his eys and blushed before turning around. She felt like their was someone that hadnt made it yet.


Justin sat in the pod and looked over everyone. he shook his head and whent to sleep.

[Erikai]

As Erikai was following Takaya back, she smelt blood on him and looked over to his arm. Seeing as how Takaya didn’t say anything about the wound, she ignored it, thinking that it didn’t hurt him. Looking over her shoulder to check on Justin and Shikaru, she saw Justin going to sleep and she began to wonder about him.

[Ranryou Roga]

"#5 listen to me. He is coming. If find out the Truth then i will be killed. This cannot be allowed." The High lord sat up in his sit. He growled and looked as the many warrior began to arrive. Over 100 fighters. All trying to live. The mystic and Savage universes were close to war. With their fighters away he would be able to speed up the plan. He smiled. This would be a most interesting Tournament.

[MaruDashi]

Alice was pushed back a bit and glared the giant down.
'So, thats his game plan...ok'

She figured that it would take him some time to lift that big axe, giving her time to charge. When it hits, she jumps.

A smile crossed her face. She had a plan of her own now.
She stood in a stance that most runner would take before a race.

"Ready
Set
GO!"

And with that, she headed towards number 3, her tactic in mind.

[Ranryou Roga]

#3 Grinned. he lifted the Axe above his head and try ed to cut Alice in half from the waist. The horizontal slash held great power behind it. #3 Smiled as his machine eye flashed red. A red light covered the girls body as she ran and a set of serons raced into his mind. His machine side was dormant. He choose and one had the task of trying to block. She would mostly likely duck under the Axe and then try to go for the neck. #3 understood her plan and was ready to turn it against her. Their was a burning in the back of his head. He ignored it.

[Nespa]

Poona just sighed and placed the jar back in the saddlebag and stood looking ath e pod for a moment before following takaya and kimiko. She was not sure if she wanted to know where the pod went or what exactly was giong on, so she decided to just follow takaya like she always did. She stopped as the oter two did and looked at takaya as he cringed and faintly wondert what was hurt more his arm or his pride.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei jumped, he heard a shout behind him but it quickly disappeared as the roar of the wind attacked his senses. Thankfully the ship had been flying low ready to land close by. It still felt like a stupidly long time to fall, after what seemed like an hour the water rose faster than before and hit Rei in the face with the force of his metal-working hammer.
He swam slowly to the shore, as he felt his stomach and face start to turn red, that dive had hurt...
Reaching the lakeside he crawled out and panted on the mud. His little sword was still with him and so was the chainmail on his back. The little bag of goods was slightly open, he checked before he moved on. There was only a little bit of food left but he still had the small amount of gold and other precious artifacts. Throwing the bread and such on the surface of the lack for the animals he set off towards the waiting pod, luck was on his side...

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia turned on her side. It was taking a while...well, at least no panic attack seemed imediate. I wonder who'll be there? Aia thought absently. She felt the handle of he scythe start to dig into her shoulder so she turned over. Not long after she'd fallen asleep she felt the pod come to a landing. She scrambled out. Through the glass on the pod she'd seen more people coming. Aia moved away from the landing zone; "Well, It won't hurt to see my future competitors" She said. unconsciously she used her stealth. Aia settled a good distance away and waited. "Just remember to do your best" I'll do better than that, mom, Ill make it all the way.

[Ranryou Roga]

Lustin opened his eyes and looked over at the one called Takaya. He seemed to be the strongest out of everyone. he made a plan and slowly spoke.

"So who are you guy if i could ask???" He looked over at Poona and Kimiko. They seemed to liek Takaya alot. They must have been his child and wife. The small one liked like a child. The girl was more gorwn then the samll one and they way she looked at Takaya was something that made it seem like they were an idem. He grinned and waited for their answers.


Takaya looked over at Justin and shook his head. he spoke quikjcly before looking at the rain fall. "Takaya....that my name ok. Remember it." Takaya didnt want to sound cold but his mind was on the fighter that came and the fact that he seemed to understand takaya more then He understood himself.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei walked up to the two women while the men were talking, "Is this one of the pods that will take me to the tournament?" he said shyly. Even this early on he could feel doubt about his ability to beat either of his targets.
The tournament was of no great importance, and entering it would only end up getting him killed anyway. He could fight but everyone he had seen so far were powerful warriors.
Too late to back out now he said to himself while he waited for an answer...

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya looked over at the newest fighter as he spoke. he nodded to him before closing the pod doors. The pod slowly rose into the air. Takaya looked over all the people that way end up being his rivils and grinned. This was going to be a good tornament.


Kimiko smiled as threy headed toward the tornament. The trip itself would take no longer then an hour. She was sitting next to Takaya cloest to Justin. In front of her was the new guy Erikai and someone whos name she didnt quite know yet. She smiled at them before looking out of the metal firmmed window at space. It was something else.

[Nespa]

Poona kneeled infront of takaya since she was used to that. She just hoped the trip would be fast the was not really comfortable and her stomach was not comfy iether. She covert her mouth with her hand turning a little green "does this thing have pukebags, i think i am getting a bit space sick.. the words have not left her mouth or she puked over the floor and partly takaya's shoes. She groaned "sorry" wiping her mouth.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Despite what had happened to him, Rei couldn't help but grin. He was glad he was furthest away from the sick girl.
He looked around at the other fighters, he wouldn't be able to compete with any of them. Sighing he slouched down on the seat. He wouldn't be able to beat Gorlack or the lord in fair combat, he'd have to be sneaky or assassinate them in their sleep. He didn't really care as long as his father was avenged.
He sat back up and waited for someone to start talking, he was too shy to start it hiself...

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia knew that the competitors wouldn't be here for a while. For a moment she wondered what would happen if she had a panic attack on this ship. She hadn't had to worry last year...but that would not be a good thing here. Aia sat down and crossed her legs. Citsym and Payne lay close by her side she didn't want to appear threatening but she also wanted them within easy reach. She tugged at her choker, it was a nervous reaction of not knowing whether she could trust anybody on this whole darned ship. For a moment Aia cursed her luck, silently she berated herself for doing that, her luck was fine and it was no one but the Savages fault that she couldn't trust even her best friends.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya look down at his shoes. He shook his head and exhaled before allwing a alchemic charge to travel down his leg to the waste. Spreading it over the tip of the boot and over to the other boot. The waste turned to silver. The silver had the same Red color as Takaya's eyes and hair. he growled and closed his eyes. They would enter the ship in about 10 minuetes.

Kimiko sat next to Takaya as he turned the waste into Silver. She grinned and turned her head. He was turly mad. She began to laugh at the fact,and quickly turned when she was drawing attention to herself. She only had to sit their and act nice. Once the tornament began to she let loose.

Justin alughed outloud at the display. He could feel the tention in the pod. It could grow if he wasnt carful. These people where something else. he hopped to make friends. He would also destroy them all if he had to.

[Pirate Toast]

OOC: Sorry for making #2 just come back but i kinda had to due to the other person didn't post in forever. I kinda had no choice

Kimiko shook her head and looked out the window. She wonder who would be her first oppoant. She would let loose her abbility of the gods. Not even Takaya new about her god powers and Takaya was the only person she truely trusted with her life. She watched the view from the window go by as they would soon come to the torunment.

#2 got bored of her oppoent deciding that he was weak. She returned to the High Lord and bowed. "High Lord, my mission is complete. May I take my leave before the mortals get here? I need a bath and some food." She said rather coldly. She wasn't afraid of the High Lord as other were. She stood up while most don't go as far as she. Most stayed bowed.

[Ranryou Roga]

The High Lord growled. This one was just as different as #4. They both seemed different then the others. #1 was of the strongest but he was loyal. #3 was to happy with his second job to care. #5 was loyal to him. The high lord watched #2 and #4 closely. He never seemed to strike fear into them. The tornament would begin in one days time. He would start the tornament with or without the main fighters he had his mind on.

Takaya looked over at Kimiko. She was beatiful. She made him feel like he had nothing to worry about. Takaya grined before turning and looked at nothing.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko felt someones eyes on her and she looks up seeing Takaya. She smiles sweetly "Don't be afriad, k? I am here if you need me." Her gazes lingers on him for a bit. She pats his hand before looking back out of the window and getting lost in her thought again. Takaya was turely handsom.

#2 shrugged and walked off before she was dismissed. No one striked fear in her. No#1 or even the High Lord himself. He was old and went by the old ways. It was a new time and there were new ways. Loyal was no longer around. It was power that people wanted now. You have to use other people around you as stepping stones to get higher you the ladder.

#2 went back to her room and sat down in a chair. She removed her cloak and sighed heavily. She had one boring day. not even a good fight!!

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya sighed before looking back at Kimiko. This tornament would be hard on them. he wouldnt allow Kimiko to ge hurt. Anyone that causes her pain or causes her to bleed a drop of blood. Takaya gromled before turning away and closing his eyes once again.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko ruffled her wings a bit. Her back was still sore from where she hit the ground. She lays her head on the side of the pod and closes her eyes trying to ignore the pain in the middle of her wings. Her wings were also dirty. She mumbled something and started to pick out the dirt or it would stain her nice white feathers and it would weight her down. "Something wrong, Takaya?"

[Nespa]

poona was diong her best to keep the rest of stomach contents inside her stomach. she looked pleadingly to takaya "how long until we get ther and if we survive the tournament could we please find another way back"she whined a bit. she did not like this flying thing and she still felt sick she bowed her head holding her stomach.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko looked up and smiled "We're here!!" she said happily. It was cramped in this small pod with everyone else in it. The pod landed and opened. She jumped out into the air excerising her wings. She flew circles and large arcs before landing again. He wings were about 12 feet long with living metal on it that grew or shrank at her command.

"it is good to be outside again but now the torunment really begins!" she said and looked around "Ummm....where do we enter?"

#2 heard a pod land and she looked out he window. "Hmm...Takaya....why couldn't I have fought him?!" she shook her head and closed the window. She waited orders from the high lord.

[MaruDashi]

Yeah, I havent replied, sorry, I suck


BIC:

Alice quickly jumped over the axe, landing on its tip and jumping off again to give herself extra force. Once she got close enough, she made a coonection with her leg across number 3's face. The force of the kick was enough that she could then flip backwards, away from any attacks that may come from number 3 after her hit.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

OOC: NO ONE HATE ME! sorry, anyway here I am...

BIC:
Aia heard the pod land. A voice came to her. It was slightly muffled. SHe'd just seen something fly. The other competitors were here. Aia debated showing herself now or waiting for someone to just happen upon her. SHe wondered which would take the most manuevering. She silently got to her feet and surveyed the group that had just landed. It was quite the combination. She sheathed both weapons carefully. Her desicion was made. There was no way she was going to walk right up on them. Whether that was due to nervousness or mistrust she didn't know. "Either or..." she mumbled.

[Nespa]

poona walked or rather stumbled out of the pod and sank her knee's "i love ground"she muttered as she felt her stomach calm down. she looked a bit curious around before turning around and waiting for takaya to come out.

[Ranryou Roga]

#3 grinned and toke a step. Before hc ould act he was called back. A light shined down on both fighters as they were sent to the ship. Both appeared in the middle of a ring. #3 grinned once he saw the High Lords hologram. #5 was beside it. #3 roared and slammed his axe into the ground. It sank down into the ground. #3 turned and left. The tornament was about to begin. he had taken to long to finish his mission.

Takaya stepped from the Pod and walked on the metal floor of the large ship. He shook his head once he noticed someone watching them. His red hair flashed green as Takaya turned a cornor and turned back around. His eyes and hair were grren along with his clothes. Everything that was red was now Green. Takaya watched Kimiko fly around and smiled. They were in danger from this point on.

#4 smiled as Takaya exited the pod. He grined and jumped down beside #2. #3,4,and 5 entered the room and they all waited on #1. He had to see the high lord first before he could come to them to tell them the mission.

[Pirate Toast]

She folded her wings into her back and winced as pain shot up and down her back "Poona, do you have something in your bags for back pain? That fall really hurt."

Kimiko looked at Takaya as he turned green "Something wrong, Takaya?" she smiled and massaged her shoulders and wings. They were sore but she would be fine with a good night sleep. When ever night was in this place.

"Which way is the entrance?" she laughed and smiled.

#2 growled "Look at them! how can they laugh when they are all going to die?!" she glowered and it seemed as if the hot weather turns cold. She pulled her hood farther down. "Did the high lord say if we could go give them...a welcome?" she was more thinking of a fighting then roses and candies.

[Nespa]

poona lookd at kimiko "i think so"bending her back a bit she started to rummage through her saddle back and pulled out a small vile which she handed to kimiko "drink this" she quickly followed takaya glancing around a bit, her tail swayed nervously "i have the feeling we are being watched" she said softly and joined takaya's side gripping his pants a bit to calm herself down.

[Ranryou Roga]

#3,4,and 5 laughed at the statement. Only #1 or the High Lord could give them that pleasure. #4 shook his head and watched Takaya closely. He was on gaurd. That was the same color he had turned when he had fought him.

"#2 Takaya is strong. The colors he has can so the power he is using. He is strong."

#4 turned and walked out. He had things to do before the fighting started. he would allow the contestants to meet one another. He punched a button on the wall and a wall began to slide to the left. It was followed by maids. The maids toke the women and the men and split them apart. The were taken to the bathing houses.

Takaya watched above and walked behind a maid. He was taken to the bathhouses. The stirpped and wrapped himself in a towel. He didnt want to make the other men jealous with his bare skinned body. He sank into the water and looked around. Their were enough placed for someone to attack. He hopped noone would attack. The water was hot and relaxed his mucles. Takaya sent a alchemic charge thorughtout the area to heat it up some more.

Justin followed behind the second maid and Takaya. Once their and also go into the water. He could here some of the women talkingin the other bath. He could look but some of them looked like they could kill him.


Gorlack entered the bath and looked over at Takaya. He tuned and left. It was time to take his place. Once he left the bath and walked intel he was before the 5 Lords. He looked over them and walked up to #3. He shook his head and punched him in the stomach. The orge fell to the ground and held his stomach. Gorlack looked over the others.

[Pirate Toast]

She drinks the lquid and followed a maid. Her back stoped hurting and she was greatful. She looked at the bath. It seemed so welcome meaning. She went to the changing rooms. She undressed and grabbed a towel and wrapped it tightly around her body. She went to the bath and got in slowly. She sat back and closed her eyes. "Mmm....this feels good afr\ter that long ride!"

#2 went back to her room and sat in her chair thinking "SO he is strong, eh? I want to fight him but i doubt I will be allowed. Hmmm....want to do..."

[Ranryou Roga]

Now that they were alone they could switch. Gorlack toke the clock from #3 and wrapped it around his body. His real anme was #3 of the five lords. His name given to him my the mystics was Exodus,meaning one that brings choas,he was the thirdstrongest. Even the others Lord dint know this besides #5 and the High Lord. Gorlack was the large Orge laying before him. This would be fun. He and Gorlack had been doing this before they were called it order by the High One. Exodus toke the clock off and threw it on Gorlack. He turned and left.


Takaya stood up and left the bath. The walked over to the Girls side and noticed Kimiko undressing. His cheeks turned red as he turned away. She was beautiful. Takaya turned intel he heard her enter the water. He walked up to her and placed his body into the warm water. He smiled and spoke softly.

"Please Kimiko listen to me....This people called the Five Lord are stong. I dont know if you could defeat them. If you are to fight one of them in the tornament then please give up." Takaya didnt want to say that to Kimiko but he couldnt allow her to be hurt or killed. The choose was hers but she could fight if she wanted. He only wanted to protect her. She meant the world to him in more ways then one.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko opened her eyes blushed. Takaya didn't know all of what she could do. She though that maybe that was for the best. "Takaya....if I think I will die that I will forfeit...I know they are strong....one took you out. I was really worried." she looked at him and smiled softly.

She hadn't really ever saw Takaya without a shirt. She blushes red "I am glad you are alright. You do the same as well. I don't want you to die or get hurt." she really cared for Takaya. She didn't want him to get hurt. She didn't know if she would be able to keep herself out of the fight if Takaya got hurt.

[Nespa]

Poona grimaced when she was seperated from takaya but followed kimiko in the bath she took a little longer to undress because of her female armour and smiled when she saw kimiko and takaya together. Deciding to leave the two alone, she dressed herself again and moved out of the bathchambers looking down the corridors she wondert which way where the rooms. She took to a left and moved down the corridor after taking a few turns she found no rooms that were not locked "i better get back to the baths" she muttered and turned around. After a few minutes she frowned aparantly she took more turns than she though, seeing one room door that was a bit open she decided to see if someone was there that could help her, she knocked.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya smiled. His ahir turned light blue. His eyes turned blue as well. Takaya blushed and looked at Kimiko. She seemed to care about him more then he cared about himself. He wouldnt allowe her or Poona to get injured. Poona was his sister and Kimiko was something more. He could explain it at the moment. All he felt was a deep light shining in his heart. What was this feeling? Takaya didnt understand it. he looked over at her and grinned. "Then good please dont get hurt. I dont think i could hanlde losing you or Poona."

[Luzifer]

The boy, who would be called Sain but at this point no name was marked for him, had utterly disappeared for sometime but now was leaning quietly against another wall, this one near the area that the fighters were coming through. He said nothing. Rather he seemed to watch everyone through his closed eyes a wry and omniscient smirk on his youthful face.

#1 walked into the High Lords chambers with a slight slouch after the usual formalities. He said nothing as he approached, he being the only to never address the High Lord save when necessary. Talking... lead only to ignorance in his mind. And he had had enough of his own stupidity. He bowed to the High Lord and waited for the orders...

This was probably his next to least favorite part of his job.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko smiles and rest her hand on Takaya's hand "I will try not to do anything rash. You know how hard headed I am about stuff and I am great fighter. Though you are better." she looked around.

"What happened to Poona? I know she followed me to the baths when you had to go another direction. I left her in the changing rooms because she had more clothes on then me." she had been to wrapped up in their conversation to notice that Poona had come and left.

#2 had a knock at her door. She got up and answer it "What do you want?! Only the High Lord or #1 comes to get me in my room. "She saw a girl with a horse body. "Well, what do we have here? One of the contestants that came with Takaya. Well SPit it out. What do you want?"

[Nespa]

poona backed away from the woman a bit frightend "i..i am lost, i can't find the baths" she backed away a litlle more "a...a..and i could not find a maid please help me? i be out of you sight then?". She had already decided she did not like the woman, her tail swayed nervously.

[Pirate Toast]

#2 looked the girl up and down "Fine. What can you tell me of Takaya?" she ventured. Maybe this one wasn't a friend but just a traveler with Takaya. #2 turned a left then right then left again and walked striaght. She awaited the girls answer. If she had to take a longer route she would.

Kimiko looked at Takaya. She really like Takaya. More then she had ever liked anyone in her life. She had always been by Takaya's side. She never wanted to Leave Takaya's side. If she could keep Takaya from becoming hurt then she would. She would put her life on the line for Takaya.

[MaruDashi]

Before she knew it, Alice found herself at the arena. She was then lead to a bathhouse and decided to take the time to relax a bit, amking sure she closed off all her posrts so no damage came to her internal workings. She sat quietly and watched all the others girls, while trying to log inot some information about each of them. She was able to find some info about two girls, but not much though. The heat and water were interfearing with her research. No matter, she knew their faces, she could look all that up later.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

It took a while but eventually one of the maids found Aia. She brought to the baths. As soon as she entered her ears laid flat on her head. It was the only outward sign of her annoyance with the conversations. She was not going to talk to anyone. She seemed to be the only one who wasn't going to submerge herself in the water. A part of her detested this. Her ears were pratically squeezing her head now. If she were lucky no one would speak with her. She relaxed a bit the water still went no where toward her head. "I really love this part..." she muttered in a darkly sarcastic tone.

[Nespa]

poona walked after her and pulled up her shoulders "not much when his mood changes his hair color changes and he cared for me after he found alone under a tree" she pulled the saddlebags a little straigher "and the bow and arrows i have are made off his blood" she cocked her head to one side "why do you ask?". Poona was not stupid she was pretty aware this woman was prying for information on takaya wel she barking up the wrong tree, she did not know much about takaya even if she lived most her life with him.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya felt something. It wasnt right. Poona was.......in danger. Takaya turned toward Kimiko and growled. "Poona's in trouble lets go." Takaya jumped from the bath and ran out. He held his hand out and his clothes formed around his body. It was the first trick he had learn to use before he started fighting. Takaya ran and slowed down intel he saw Kimiko. He would continued to seacrh once she was wtih him.


"#1 you are one of my stronest warriors. I want you to go. Once the first match is here you will kill one of the friends of Takaya. This will make him hate me and all of you more. Once his hate is high enough during this tornament then he will fall easliy. Now go. The first match will begin in two days from now."

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko went to the changing rooms. She couldn't show Takaya her ture powers. She changed quickly and used her speed to get to Takaya. She stoped in front of him. "She may not be in trouble. Maybe lost." She tooks Takaya's hand and held it tightly "It will be alright" she smiled comfortingly but she was worried as well.

#2 guided the girl to the baths where Kimiko and Takaya were. "Here you are. I will be leaving and don't come knocking on my door again." #2 walked off before Kimiko and takaya could see here. She oulls her cloak closer to her body and sliped into the shadows.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya sighed and leaned against a wall. They werent that far from the baths. Maybe she was lost? Takaya shook his head and looked at Kimiko. She was right. He turned and walked toward the baths. If she wasnt back in another five minutes then he would go and find her.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko followed Takaya in silence. Her footsteps weren't even heard like she was a ghost. She left Takaya to his thoughts. She wished she could comfort him but she didn't know how. She thought to herself as well "Hmm...should we get back into the baths?" she asked softly. She looked at Takaya.

[Ranryou Roga]

"Yeah." Takaya slowly made his way back to the baths. He was lost in thought. He didnt understand everything. The feelings for Kimiko,the anger he felt toward that strange fighter,the fact that ever seen he got to this ship he felt different. Like it has something to do with him. Takaya didnt understand any of it. All he could do was think. He felt alone when he wasnt close to Kimiko. He didnt want her to leave his side. Without her he would be alone. Even without Poona Takaya felt alone. But with both of them by his side he felt like he could have hope.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko went to the changing rooms and changed grabing a towel wraping it around her. SHe walked out and stepped slowly into the water waiting for Takaya to join her if he wanted you go to the men's section. She closed her eyes and leans back, she flapped her wings alittle as she washed them.

[Nespa]

poona nodded in silent thanks more out of politness then because she wanted to, as soon as 2 was out of hearing range she mutter "witch" and she quickly moved into the baths. undressing she found kimiko in the baths and aparantly alone, she stepped into the water and frowned a bit when it came up to her chin when she stood.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya walked around. He didnt understand what he should do. He was lost in space and could find his way. His body and mind contineud to tell him three different things. The emotions he felt were overwhelming. Takaya turned a few corners and continued to walk. He didnt knew where he was going but for some reason the ship itself seemed to be guiding him somewhere.

[MaruDashi]

OOC: Im still in the women's bath guys, and Im pretty sure FMA'S character is there too -__-''

BIC:

Alice watched the girls come and go, as she sat quietly in a corner. She looked over to Aia, who was aparently having as much fun as Alice was [/sarcasm]. She sighed to herself and wondered how long this would take. She was a bit irritated that she was teleported here without warning, without time to pack her equipment, nothing! She missed her computer already. Lucky for her, the areana did lack technology, so she would have to make do with what was around her

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko opened her eyes and laughs "Poona you look so funny. Takaya should be here to see this" She laughs more and smiles. Kimiko looked around seeing others. She waved "Hello. I am Kimiko. I traveled here with my friends Poona and Takaya. We were hurt a little before getting here. So guy in a black cloak attacked us then a pod appeared* Did that happen to you as well?" she was trying to make small conversation. Maybe make some new friends.

[Luzifer]

"..." #1 gave no reply but merely turned and walked out of the room, his affirmation to the request left to assumption rather then direct comfirmation. Besides, he would hate himself if he actually said yes to such a demand. The fact that he knew he would do it was horrid enough. But such was his existance he supposed, best to salvage what pride he could rather then fritter away his efforts in pointless arguing.

The boy sighed from behind Alice... a bored sigh perhaps, one which definately lacked the nervousness would should accompany him being in an area where those of his sex where not allowed, in effect, the girls bathhouse... "Why are you here?" he asked with a rather dull voice and eyes which matched

[Nespa]

poona just looked at kimiko and and sank a little lower blowing bubbles in the water to show she did not find it amusing. she looked over to the other females and moved closer to kimiko when takaya was not around she was weary of people. she dunked herself under to wash any filth from her hair and came up again blinking.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

OOC: soz for the delay :D
Rei had had an hectic half hour, he had found the journey here amusing and found most of the fighters to be pleasant. Or at least better than Gorlack and the lords.
He followed the maid wishing now that he had come with a friend, or a companion. The maid nodded at a door and allowed him to step past. He walked into a small changing room and took a small glance in the mirror. He didn't look like much of a hero, he thought to himself. The vivid red hair was messy and getting quite long, his face, while not being ugly held none of the hero qualitys he longed for. He didn't have an hero's build, he was more like a theif than a warrior.
When it came down to his abilities, he was exellent with a sword, and decent with a spear, he could aim well with a bow ad he didn't lack the power needed to be able to kill with these weapons. He would never have the strength to destroy buildings but he knew that if he tried he stood a small chance of coming out of this alive, if luck was on his side...

He undressed and walked out into the bathing area, as soon as he stepped out a wall of steam rose and covered him. He felt his way around blindly for awhile before falling in some water with a little splash.
The steam finally lifted and he looked around... and almost screamed. He was in the girls bath! There were two beautil girls, one with wings the other without, one person who he could only see the top of her head as she was either submerged or really small. And a girl he sat right next to, who seemed to not want to put her head under the water.
Some people would call him lucky, but he knew that probably every girl here could snap him in two.
He smiled sheepishly, "This isn't where i left my sword..."

[MaruDashi]

Alice gave a half-efforted wave back and simply shrugged at her question of how they got there. She heard a voice from behind and turned to the direction it came from.
"Im here to take a bath..."
She gave herself a smirk and leaned back in the water a bit.
"If you mean why Im here in the tournement, well...I guess you'll just have to watch my matches."
She gave the boy a wink and giggled to herself.
"Which reminds me...when does the tournment start anyway?"

[Nespa]

Poona looked towards rei as he jumped in the water but noone of the other girls seemed to mind so she kept silent though she was curious why a male was in the girls bath 'i wonder what takaya would say about this'. she knew takaya could be pretty jelous when it came to kimiko. he even beated up some guards who made a perverted joke about kimiko's behind once.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

It didn't help Rei's predicament when one of the girls winked at him, he felt himself blush.
"Well... errr, i wasn't really made to... err come here. It just sort of happened..." he trailed off.
Only now did he see how young and foolish he really was. He wasn't a coward and leaving still didn't come into his mind but now there was doubt, like a parasite stuck to his hope and expectations of himself. He noticed that the small person was staring at him and realised how deep in thought he was.
He lowered himself into the water so only the top of his shoulders and head were out. He was consious that most of these women had either partners the size of trolls or were used to seeing more mausculin (sp) bodies than his. He wanted to get out but couldn't see how. He decided to just relax and make good use of the small rest period tthay were allowing him...

[Nespa]

poona just snickkerd as her looking aparantly made the male selfconsious. deciding she was clean enough she broke her gaze and moved towards the side. Putting her hands on it she braced herself and lifted her body out of the water quickly moving the her front legs on the side. Carefully she stood up and started shaking her horse body and then her normal one. grabbing a towel from a nearby bench she wrapped it around hersself and seated behind kimiko.

[Ranryou Roga]

Before Takaya knew it he was back at the baths. He toke it as a sigh and quickly returned to his bath clothes. He walked into the girls bath and noticed some other male in the water. Takaya growled and shook his head. He walked into the water on the other side of everyone and looked at them all before placing both hand on the ground behind him. He noticed the small indoor waterfall that lead to a underwater cavern. Takaya had seen one of these before. He sank deeper into the water and relaxed. He once again began to think deeply. His sadness and worry caused his hair to turn blue. His eye slowly followed. Takaya's metal left arm turned from red to blue also. Takaya thought hard. His mind wondered. He heart was being torn apart. He couldnt understand anything. He felt different in this ship and different around Kimiko. Takaya thought about all of their adventures. Kimiko,Poona,and himself had some good and bad times. He remembered when he was sick with a rare virus. Kimiko and Poona stayed awake for three whole days taking care of him and making sure the pain it cause subsided. Takaya was greatful. He loved them both. Love was something he didnt understand.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko giggled as the male seemed to be uncomfortable. She watched as the other girls gave the male a hard time. She observed what the others were like. Trying to figure out the fighting style of each.

Kimiko then noticed Takaya turn blue. She looked thoughtfully at him before moving to sit next to him. "Takaya what's on you mind? You seem like something is troubling you." Kimiko was worried for Takaya.

[MaruDashi]

Alice mumbled to herself
"I thought this was a unisex bath...but I guess not..."
She stretched in the water a bit then reached back for a towel, standing and wrapping herself in it. She did this with no concern for the men in the room, sicne she didnt really care.
She sat at the edge of the bath, allowing only her feet to be submerged in the water.
"All this water is starting to leak in some of my circuts" she said, half to herself but loud enough for others to hear.

[Ranryou Roga]

"Everything Kimiko..........." Takaya noticed her their but he still felt alone. He never felt this way. Then Alice said something. He remembered her name due to the fact thaat it was one of his jobs to know the names of most of the strong fighters. Takaya blinked before looking at the roof of the bath. It was getting hot and it was late. Maybe they could be sent to their room sooner or later. It didnt matter to Takaya as long as Kimiko was by his side.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

OOC: I'm sort of mad at my computer it hates me...it wasn't working for a few days makes me mad
BIC:
Aia looked at the girl. "I'm Aia." Exactly why she was here, well, perhaps it would do to simply say something about the Savage race. "I'm here to get away from the Savages on my planet" Her ear twitched at that. She didn't want to explain herself. When the males came she simply gave thema a glance and focused on keeping her ears dry. Yes, maybe she seemed angry and aloof right now but she was a catperson in a bath not exactly a pleasant combination when look at it. This is still the part I hate... If that girl with the wings tried another conversation Aia was going to leave. Maybe, once I'm dry I could try to be nicer Aia thought absently. If the water was gone her mood would brighten considerably.

[Pirate Toast]

SHe looked up and stayed quiet for a bit. She wished Takaya would tell what was on his mind but she would wait till he was ready to tell her.

Maids started to come into the baths. it seemed that anyone who was ready to go to there room could now. Kimiko stood up. She was tired. She patted Takaya's shoulder tellinghim she is going to go to her room.

Kimiko went to the changing rooms and changed back into her cloths before following the maid to her room.

[Nespa]

Poona looked at kimiko as she left and moved into the dressing room after she got dressed she moved back to the baths. She waited for takaya to be done she rather slept in a room with him than kimiko, it was a habit thing. she glanced at the others as she ran a brush through her hair.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya walke dfrom the dressing room and patted Poona on the head. He turned and left. They walked to their room where Takaya opened a small door in his private kitchen and pulled out a energy drink. It wouldnt do much but let him sleep easliy. Takaya looked over at Poona and smiled.

"You can have the bed."

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

When the maids came Aia gratefully left to change. She changed quickly. Then she snapped both sheaths back in ther places. Payne on her back and Citsym in plain sight on her hip. Her mood was already becoming better now that she was dry. SHe glanced over at the others girls. Right now they probably thought she was a mean person. She wasn't even if she did have some emotional issues. Well, maybe she could try to be nicer. Her inner mistrust did not prevent her from talking although it inhibited her ability to make deep and lasting friendships, or keep them for that matter. For a moment she messed with idea of waiting for someone...like maybe that guy who'd been embarassed. She didn't know any of these people though. Kail and Ginger were back on Animalia, and even they weren't as close as they had been before the attack. Everything came back to the fact that Savages had taken her planet. Aia made up her mind. As soon as that redhead finished she was going to make an effort to be nice to him.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei was suprised when the short girl got out of the water, she was half horse. He stole a last look at her as she walked out, although it was different it didn't look wrong. He had seen a lot worse in savage, men with brick red skin and horns, they reminded him of a sort of demon.
He shook the thoughts from his mind and just caught the cute girl who had winked at him say something. He grinned then quickly felt guilty. The first thought that had came into his head was that he would now have an advantage over her, he knew one of her weaknesses. Then as soon as the thought came he banished it. These were, by the looks of it, friendly living people. He was only here to kill one... gorlack.
The man that had joined them seemed to shoot Rei a look of dislike before sitting down and being joined by the winged girl. Then a few people got out.
He decided to stay a while longer. He paused and looked up at the robotic girl. He felt like he shoud make amends for thinking about her weakness and asked her, her name.
He got out and tried to pull the towel around himself quick enough. He looked back but couldn't tell whether she had noticed he'd stood up.
He had decided to go for it, live life to the full, since for the past few minutes it finally dawned on him how short his life had possibly just become...

[MaruDashi]

Alice allowed the ports on her back to open up. She had two rows going down her spine, about 12 of them in total. As names were said, she stoared them in her internal memory, which was just anohter chip inplanted in her brain.
Her attention change when Rei spoke to her. She smiled and simply stated
"Alice. Pleasure to meet you."
She noticed out of the corner of her eyes the maids, of which she giggled again.
"Guess theyre kicking us out."

[Nespa]

Poona followed as takaya left the bath ignoring some the annoyed maid stares when she with him in his room. Yawning she nodded and hopped up the bed and laid on her side pulling her legs up her body and the blanket to. Yawning again she closed her eyes and slept.

[Ranryou Roga]

Gorlack exited the room and left #3 their. He continued down the hallways and extered his room. He sat down and looked around. He was tried. The battles would take placed in one more day. Tomorrow all they had to do was get the names of the contestants and pair them up. Then they would have to go and then that mroing the first battle would begin. Gorlack knew that the High lord would try something out of character. He didnt like it. It was to early to try and kill Takaya,so he knew he wouldnt fight him. Then their was Takaya's friends. The High Lord would make the Deadly Five fight one of them. most likely kill them and then continued in the tornament. This would make Takaya mad. Gorlack grinned before turning over and going to sleep.


Justin was already in his room. He wa half sleep. he didnt care. he was ready to fight someone. he would destroy anyone that go in his way. His fmaily was his only reason of living. Justin left his room and continued don the hallways. He then bumped into Takaya. They talked for over three hours before they reutnred to their rooms. Justin had made a close friend with Takaya. Justin hafd his back no matter what.


#4 was looking at space. It was so big. It caused him to lose himself in its beauty. #4 shook his head and went to sleep.

Takaya talke dwith Justin and returned to his room. Poona was sleep. Takaya smiled and pulled her covers back up. He then sat in a chair on the other side of the room and fell to sleep. His body healed itself in half the time Takaya was sleep.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko walked into he room and unhooked her sword, she set it in a chair but kept her other sword with her. She had never taken it out before and was kept it with her. She never let anyone hold not even Poona or Takaya.

Kimiko looked around her rooms. There was a living room then a bathroom and bedroom to the right and the kitchen to the left. Kimiko went into her bedroom and set her pack down. She took out all of her clothes and hung them up.

She looked around for a window and found on on the right. She jumped out the window and spread her wings becoming airborn. She glides for a bit before turning on her back to look at the night sky and stars. This may be one of her last night looking at the sky.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia sat in one of the chairs. She'd begun to think of Rei as the redhead. She twiddled her thumbs and tried to relax. She'd wanted to talk to people. There was abosolutely no way she'd get a panic attack for something that was her idea. "What to say?" She muttered to herself. Soon enough The door to the baths opened.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei got up and walked past the girls changing room as the door opened. He couldn't help but look in but only saw Aia sat down looking glum, he looked in to make sure nobody else was getting changed then slowly walked towards her.
Too late he realised he was still only wearing the towel but pushed on anyway until he was just infront of her. He sat down on the floor, careful not to flash and smiled at her, "Are you ok?"...

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia smiled. "Oh, I'm fine..." Just trying to tell myself to stop panicking. "So what's your name?" Belatedly she remembered her probably didn't know hers. "My name's Aia...in case you didn't hear" She smiled happily. She sat on the floor beside the Redhead. Of course as soon as she knew his name he would no long be the Redhead. But of course he had to answer the question. She made sure to look directly at his face since he was only wearing a towel.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei noticed the gesture of joining him on the floor, she could have easily stayed in the comfier chair. "Well my names Rei," he smiled, "And i caught your name earlier."
He didn't really know what to say to a girl that looked about his own age. On the savage most of the girls were either undesireable or had tentacles.

Then it hit him. When he said age it reminded him. It was his birthday! He was 15. Wow, he had survived another year. In the back of his mind he felt the dark thoughts lingering, like 'Yeah sure, but you won't make it to 16 haha'
Rei just pushed them away.
Turning back to Aia he asked the only thing his confused mind could think of asking, "How come you're wearing the choker? I hate wearing things like that around my neck, it's so uncomfortable."
He was aware that it was late in the night, he was aware he was talking fashion with a girl, while wearing nothing but a towel and he was aware that the girl sat next to him. The girl he was trying so hard to befriend could end up trying to stab him in a days time.
He blinked and cursed his own dark thoughts, waiting for a reply...

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko fliped over again and sighed, she rubbed her eyes and flew back to her window. Kimiko steped through her windows fold her wings against her back, she changed into night clothes and got into bed. She thought the day through. She thought about Takaya and the bath. Her hear beat started to beat fast as she thought of Takaya "What is this feeling?" she said to herself then closed her eyes and feel asleep.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia self consciously fingered the choker. "I used to hate wearing stuff around my neck..." She didn't really like to talk about the attack. "It's just...ummm..." Oh, great this was not comfortable. "I...well...there was an attack...and...oh let's just talk about something else. I don't want to put a damper on your day." And I don't want to even think about it. Aia tried a smile. It was as bright as her first one. "Oh, and I'd like to apoligze for my behavior earlier, catpeople and water don't mix to well" She laughed.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei knew he had asked something wrong but was glad when she made the joke and smiled. "Well do you mind waiting while i get my stuff then i'll walk you to your room?" he knew quite well that she'd be fine on her own but he felt like it was the right thing to do...

OOC: soz for the short post...

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya was sleeping soundly. His mind was thinking about the many things that brought the others to this tornament. Revenga was the main thing. Takaya shook his head in his sleep and opened his eyes. He had to go for a walk.

[Tetsanosuke]

When he awoke he jumped off into the air, his trench coat flapping as the multicolored energies of his Xualt would form about him. He had stayed off to a side, cutting through the blighted energies until he reached a hallway. He swayed to a side, hitting a wall and turning his head around to see it all. He was on a moving ship, it seemed, not just a world or plain of existence.

"So it's being held, on a craft.. I can feel the others everywhere.. the powers and and colors.." Vyzbrid would vibrate, resonating another light, a darker and more putrid one. "The greed here is overwhelming.. but it's not like it's anything new.." He would remove Xualt from his staff, the shaft shooting into it's smaller state as he would slide his way down the hallway.

He made it to a corner and sat waiting. Who would he find, he wasn't really sure.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya left his room. Trying not to wake Poona he closed the door and locked it from the inside. Takaya walked around and looked at the empty but alive walls of the ship. It's metal was evil and it spoke to him. Takaya didnt like this place. It wasnt somthing he would come to like. Takaya continued down the ahllways intel he saw another fighters. He was different then the other's. He seemed to be more powerful.

[Tetsanosuke]

Someone approached, he turned his face towards the oncoming energy and he could see in the eye of his mind, the eternal ribbons of flashing Anima lashing into shape. It was another on of the fighters presumably. He stayed silent for a few minutes, before walking down the wavering halls, his sight was a black canvas, the explosions of colors and the strings of energies all around would be his paint.

He stopped and touched the wall as his blindfold would sway a bit at the back. A wind? An aura? Or the ship? He wasn't sure at that point, but he was about two meters from a person. He reached out, the blind man he was he wanted to seem frail as to not start anything.

"Where are we?" He simply inquired to the one known as Takaya.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia nodded then stood up. "I'll be right here" She said with a smile. Then Aia settled back in her chair to wait for Rei. I wonder what I'll be doing tomorrow? The tournament starts fo course so that will most defintely be on the agenda. Her thoughts wandered for a bit. So Rei is his name...no more Redhead I guess. She shifted a bit then unstrapped Payne. Th stupid thing was digging into her back again. She stretched and yawned. I guess I'm a bit more tired than I felt...I think a catnap will do. Aia continued to think along these lines for a while.

[Ranryou Roga]

"We are on the High Lord's ship. This is his tornament. I can feel the aura and the power your body gives off. Your strong in your own way. Im not here to fight nor am i here to make friends. I just want to speak to someone about the things i feel inside of this machine."

Takaya looked at the man. Takaya was surprised that he wore a ribbon around his eyes. Was that some kind of tecnhique that helpped him fight? Or was it just that he was blind? Takaya didnt understand this one like the others. He was different.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko sat up in bed and looked at the clock. 5 in the morning. She sighed and layed back in bed and tryed to go back to bed. She wondered what was wrong with Takaya. He had never not told her what was wrong. She lay awake looking at the ceiling.

[Tetsanosuke]

A ship... so that's where the tournament was taking place. He was where he was told to go, he just had to wait to fight. He was thinking on about the end, the power he would gain and the ability to destroy that damned Highratz. He would show them all, everyone in his world that there was more to them then that light, that putrid aura of the being who asks them for everything and only gives a false sense of security in return. Bah! He was going to win, he had to. Or at least that's what he felt.

He turned his face to adjust his ear behind them, hearing a few people traveling around, and he would face the Anima of the one he was conversing with as his hair turned a bright lime green, his skin a cherry red. His clothes remained their monotone colors.

He looked to (more or less faced at) Takaya as his skin would blend out and become a normal human shade, his hair still bright green. "So where are we supposed to wait in dis god awful energy? Neh?" His voice was slightly different with the shift of his colors, and he would smile as he stood up straight. "I'm Dario, Dario, Dario, Dario. Got it memorized?" He asked as he would bring a hand to his right shoulder.

[Luzifer]

Sain was still hanging around Alice... "Baths... the endless and futile task of shifting grim from ones body even as more accumulates... " He muttered musingly...

he looked back at alice "But what will i gain from watching you fight? The only thing I would glean is that you have reached a point of desperation so great that your rational mind is wont for solutions and therefore gives in to the temporary insanity of violence. It would only prove to be the unmaking of any valid reason you could possibly have for fighting in the first place." He then shrugged "Or maybe not... it really depends on how you look at it."

"As for when things begin you are asking the wrong person. I long ago gave up trying to keep track of the myriad beginnings and ends that pass in the span of a breath. All that is left to my knowledge is that I am where I am when I am and that is how I will it or perhaps how I intuit it with my subconcious. Or mayhaps there world bends me to where it feels i ought to be. I don't know. I gave up that attempt as well. Besides the tournament is probably happening now as well as already being over drawing a distinction seems arbitrary."

[Nespa]

poona woke up though she was not sure why yawning she straightend and rubbed her eyes looking for takaya "takaya?"she questioned softly but noone was in the room. Frowing she moved off the bed and to the door only to find it locked. sighing she decided to admire the paintings in the room until takaya came back. she frowned at the art which mostly consisted of bloody battles and while she looked at one she tripped over a carpet and quickly grabbed hold of a candle holder. She heard a click and saw a door open on the other side. She looked at it for a moment until her curiosity won from her common sense. she moved inside and came in a dark hallway, yelping when the door closed behind her. She geused she had not other choice than move forwards. She frowned when she came in another room but paled when she saw the person in the bed "savage" she whispered and decided to move quickly and silently to the door.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya shook his head. The mans name was Dario. Takaya would remember it. He grinned and looked at the window showing the enternal space. Takaya could tell it was about time for the sun to rise on his planet. He looked back at Dario and grinned.

"The Tornament is about to begin. I could feel some of the ship begin changed around. That way this aura was so strong and sicking."

Takaya walked toward the place where they came in. he stood in the middle of the area was Dario beside him. He looked up and knew he could see some figures standing in the darkness. He looked like the deadly five. Takaya hopped he could get one of them so he could destroy them one by one.

The high lord grinned as he stood in the darkness with his five fighters. He held his hand out and his voice could be heard around the area.

"The tornament of the ages will soon begin. Please come to the areana fllor so you can be sorted. The fighitng will be real. The danger will be real,and death will be real."

#3 slammed his axe into the ground and grinned. he was fighitng Takaya he knew it. Takaya was going to die. It was his job to kill him. These would be great. he didnt get a chace to kill someone in a long time.

#4 shook his head at the overgrown idiot. he growled and looked at the one stadning beside Takaya. He was different also. #4 really didnt care who he was fighting he just wanted to fight Gorlack or Takaya no one else.

Gorlack was walking toward the arena. He didnt know who he was fighting but that didnt matter. He would destroy anyone that got in his way. They would die before the match could begin.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko jumpped as she heard the voice. She got out of bed and got dressed. She grabbed her sword and ran to the areana. Her wings became total metal. I was hard but light weight for her. She hooked her sword to her arm and living metal came and fused it to her arm. She looked around and saw Takaya. "Have the said who we would be fighting yet?" she asked.

He hair was pulled back and she was panting from running. "Oh? WHo is that beside you?" she looked at the man with the blindfold strangely and shurged. She smiled then frowned when she saw the shadows of the five dark fighters. Her engery got strong. If she was matched with one of them she would kill them.

#2 grinned and laughed " Finially!! A fight where I can kill someone!!" She could feel the power around the room and just made her more blood thristy. She grinned evilly and held onto her sword ithgtly.

[Ranryou Roga]

"No kimiko he just called everyone to this arena. Once that happens i guess we will begin."

Takaya looked over at Kimiko and then at the five. He didnt like them and wanted to attack them all right now. He didnt know if he could attack all five of them and then survive. They were the deadly five,and the most powerful warriors the high lord has.

[Nespa]

poona left the room and moved towards the arena when she heard the tournament started. the 'savage' turned out to be some kind of bronze statue. She made sure she was not in the arena itself when she entered but the audiance area and watched the fighters enter. looking around she frowned apearantly she was the only watcher beside the fighers that would not fight yet. leaning on the reiling she sighed "i am pretty sure they wont sell popcorn here" glacing down she smiled as she saw takaya and kimiko.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko smiled at Takaya "I wish you the best of luck and I will be cheering you on while you fight." she smiled and waited for the names to be called. She wondered who she would fight. Would she win or would she die trying to win? She promise Takaya she would throw the towel in if it looked like she would die but she just couldn't. She was too stubborn and Takaya already knew that.

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya looked up at Poona and growled. He hoped she wouldnt be brought into battle if so then he would take her place. Takaya looked over at Kimiko and then at the other fighters that had entered. He could fight any of them. He hoped Poona and Kimiko would be ok. he didnt want to fight Kimiko and didnt want poona to fight at all. This would be a very hard tornament.

[Tetsanosuke]

Following like any average blind man did, he would shift himself to the center of it all, his green hair glowing slightly as he wicked grin came to his face. "Let's rock this thing.." He said as he shifted his face about searching out the source of the line ups. But he could see energy, the colors within everything that held it. writing would be a bit of a hindrance to decipher. But at that point the personality that he had taken made him a more out and about person, and he would bump around, assessing his foes.

He then stood still again, listening and watching as well as waiting.

[MaruDashi]

Alice smiled and looked to Sain.
"Who says you need a valid reason to fight?"
She giggled a bit to herself. She just enjoyed fighting.
She stretched a bit and gave a wave 'bye' as she headed to her room to sleep.

Alice woke the next morning and headed towards the arena to see what the commotion was about.
'Hmm, looks like its starts today.'
She could see the others she met the night before, but decided to remain silent, with an eager grin on her face, to see who would be pared with who, and who she would fight.

[Luzifer]

Sain sighed as he sat down on the ground next to Alice before lying back so he could stare at the cielling. "You know, its not normally considered very polite to walk away when someones talking to you..." there was a amused smirk twirling in his voice as he spoke. "But... so you do it for the pleasure?" His eyes looked at her... or perhaps through her, "Pleasure. One of lifes many futilities. People reach so hard to grasp it but as soon as their hands clutch it, its gone. Is such an endless game truly worth the playing..." he smirked visibly now, "Maybe...though its more something you play when you know you can't run out of time."

#1 was calmly leaning against a wall as he watched the proceedings. He had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, and almsot appeared to be sleeping, but he was listening. The dislike he had for what was happening would not let him sleep or even to ignore it. He could only wait and hear what poor unlucky person he would have to kill... he would try to spare them if he could but he often he underestimated his own power and would kill them accidentally. Perhaps, the person who he would fight would find it in their heart to forgive him for what he would do...but he didn't hold his breath on it.

[Ranryou Roga]

The High spoke. He couldnt be seen but he could be heard. His thuderous voice clashed with teh vibraion of the metal. He spoke loudly and clearly so no one would miss anything.

"My warriors now the time as come for the battle fo all battles to begin. This tornament will be hard. Matches will be long. But the prize in itself is greater. Now that you have all come together i will let you know the matchs."

A large tornament sigh rose from the holegram arena the fighters stood on. It showed the fighting matches.

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x295/Toshiro_Hitsugaya_Bankai/untitled1copycopy.jpg


"Now the first match will begin at this moment. Takaya vs my #3. Let begin."


Takaya looked over the list and found Poona's name on the list. He growled and turned toward the deadly five. "I will not allow Poona to fight." If you want her to fight then ill take her place. She will not fight in this tornament. She is not the fighting type.

#4 growled. How dare he say that when she tryed to use a bow on him. He leaned forward into the light and spoke. "You cannot say that. She pull a arrow on my when i came to you world. If she has the means to do that then she can fight. YOU WILL NOT GO AGAINST THE HIGH LORD WORD!!!!"

Takaya growled and held his left arm back. Red armor of his alchemic worl spread across it. He allowed lighting to shot form his finger tips to the ground below. It seemed to pull something up. Takaya hadnt used this sword in many years. The only people that knew about it was Poona and Kimiko. Once the sword was close to his hand Takaya grabed it and pulled it threw. Its energy caused the lighting to surge around its blade and down to his handle. Takaya growled and pointed toward #4. "Like i said.........She WILL NOT FIGHT IN THIS TORNAMENT. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THEN YOU CAN SAY IT TO ME!!!"

#3 used his power to turn his axe into a spear. He threw it down toward Takaya letting it hit the metal floor beside him infront of Kimiko and beside Dario. He jumped down and landed cracking some of the metal. He walked up to Takaya and looked him in the eyes. He then turned and looked at Poona. His grin was wide and evil. "Listen Takaya if she doesnt fight then allow me to defeat you. If you dont want her to die." #3 grinned and looked at poona. He grinned and blow a kiss.

Takaya growled and kicked #3 in his oversized stomach. The sheer force of the kick cause the gaint to slide back. If #3 was his first opponent then by all means Takaya would destroy him. HIs hair and eyes allow with his alchemic armor turned brown. Takaya was giving off a strange aura. His anger and natred was being pushed to the limit. he knew he could unleash full force intel the other left the arena.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko jumped back from the spear and landed where she once was. "Takaya! Don't underestimate Poona!! She is strong!!" she yelled and grabbed Takaya's arm "You will have your time to fight with your match starts. Don't get hurt. I will be in the stands with Poona. I will protect her. Just protect your self." Kimiko turned and walked to Poona in the stands so takaya could fight without worrying. Alice. She looked around for the one nammed Alice. She didn't know if Alice would be hard or not.

#2 grinned at the cat girl. "Never fought a cat. I will see how this goes." #2 jumped down and set up the areana. "High Lord. What themem would you like them to fight in?" she yelled walking to the programer. It would take part of a world and place it in the fighting area.

[Luzifer]

Sain stood up vaguely interest... "why are you trying to protect her from me? She'll kill me! I suck! Maybe if she was fighting someone who could fight back it might be worth your time but I don't fight... which reminds me..." he started to mutter quietly to himself... "How did the High Lord even know I was here?"

[Nespa]

Poona's mouth fell open "are you crazy or something, i am freaking twelfe years and most of the time i was protected". she glared at kimiko "i don't even have my bow you idiot" she sat down with her arms crossed "i am not gonna fight"she pointed to sain "lets just say he wins because i give up" she sat on the floor her tail twitching in annoyance.

[MaruDashi]

Alice smiled at Sain.
"I was never good at people skills".
She was going to answer his comment on pleasure, but was interrupted by a voice.
She looked over the pairing list and saw who she would duel against: Kimiko. Her thoughts were interrupted by Takaya's outburst against one of the girls fighting, then Sain's outburst on how he was a bad fighter. It all seemed funny to her.
Alice snickered to herself a bit at the situation, then spotted Kimiko who seemed to be browsing through the crowd, probably looking for Alice.
'Hmm, she may have the advantage of flight, but that shouldnt be too much of a problem. Shes also equipped for long-range battle and Im not...again, easily solved...'
She sat there and thought about the fight ahead while going through whatever files she could find on the girl.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei had walked Aia back to her room as she yawned and muttered. They had said goodnight and left for his own room.
He looked at the table again and gulped, his happy memories shattering. If both himself and Aia made it through this round he'd ask her to the baths again. Or maybe not, he grinned remembering her face in the water.
He didn't even look at the fight, he was too emersed in his day-dreams. Some people shouted, so what.
If it was up to him he would let the horse-girl fight. And she wanted too, where was the problem? He shrugged slightly and smiled. He knew he wasn't going mad, it just seemed to him that he had nothing to lose, so why be bothered.
He saw Kimiko looking around and walked up to her.
"Hey have you seen 4 fight before? I really think i'm gona need every bit of help out there." He said it with a full grin on his face, maybe he was going mad...

[Pirate Toast]

Why was Poona yelling at her. She just said those things to keep Takaya calmed down "Sain say he can't fight and you can fight. Run back to your room and get your bow. I will wait here for you to get back, ok?" Poona wasn't the strongest of there group that was why Takaya insisted on him taking poona's place.

She felt someones eyes on her and saw the boy from the baths. "Yeah. He attacked Takaya on our planet. He is strong. Takaya had a hard time and I hurt my back pretty bad. He is strong." she said giving all the information she knew on him. She still looked around and her eyes locked with Alice. "So a there she is."

[Nespa]

Poona glared at her she just came along as a companion was kimiko really that dumb "i am no battle centaur, i am a medic" she crossed her arms "i heal people not hurt them". she points to takaya and then at her "thats takaya's and your job" she looked away "and i am not getting anything, i am not suppost to fight in this tournament in the first place" she snorted.

[Pirate Toast]

She sighs "Poona....Sain say he can't fight....just put on a good show. You don't have to hurt anyone. Just make him scared and he will probably run away." she shoot a side glance at Sain. "He also doesn't look like the fighting type. You can forfeit if you like though. No one but the high lord..." she spit at his name" wants you to fight. It is up to you."

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei's grin only widened. That Takaya was powerful, and this guy fought equally, or maybe better with him.
He had his special chainmail armour on with both a small spear on his back and his reinforced short sword his father made for him.
It shone pale gold with an undecorated hilt. A dark brown leather strip fell from the bottom of the hilt as it wound up the handle. He thanked Kimiko and stepped back into his original place. He hadn't looked at Aia yet but he could feel the pull from his subconcious wanting to.
He had gone into a battle ready state, he knew he wasn't but he felt invincible. If he looked at Aia other feelings would invade, premature, naive feelings of attraction
4# looked powerful and Rei knew that it would take everything he had, he had to kill gorlack...

[MaruDashi]

Alice smiled when Kimiko's eyes locked with hers, though it didnt last long. She was now interested in the temper tantrum the other girl seemed to be having, and sat wondering when the first battle would begin.
She let out a deep sigh and focused on Takaya. Could he stand against number 3? The same giant she had battled earlier? Then other thoughts crossed through her head.
'What happens if someone beats one of the 5? Would they be demoted and the person who defeated them put in their place? Is that what all this is about...or is it something else?'

Alice tried to push all her thoughts to the back of her mind, no point in giving herself a headache over it.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

OOC: Sorry for not posting...
BIC:
Aia blinked when the hologram came up. "#2?" Her voice was disbelieving. O, great... She glanced towards the woman. She barely listened to the fighting. I guess if I make it past this round it'll prove to be good. I just hope that I can calm myself down. This was a bad time to panic actually. She glanced again at #2. She was powerful, Aia wondered if she would even get past this round.

[Ranryou Roga]

The High Lord grined at Takaya outbursts. He looked to #2 and grinned under the darkness. "Give them the rocky terrian. The large rock formations will give Takaya an advangetge. #3 will have to work hard to defeat him."


Takaya watched as the arena changed and they were in a rock type world. He could see Kimiko and the others. He knew they were still on the ship but the wind and the smell of this place wa so real. He grinned as 33 stepped forward. Takaya smiled and then bent his knees. he then pushed from the ground and shot into the air. Lighting surged throught his sword as he came down onto of the giant. The force of his attacks caused them both to sink into the ground.

#3 grinned and used his arms to block. It worked. He then pushed Takaya back and then ran for his spear. It shot from the ground and reofmred back into a axe. He then turneed quickly to be so big. When he was turning a allowed a small piece of the Axe to drop intohis right hand. He held it tighyl and continued his movement. He then came across and tryed to cut Takaya in half with a side cut.

Takaya jumped over the axe and then was bout to come across with his own slash when he saw something flash in the giants hand.#3 came down on Takaya with a second axe. the metal from his first axe was just enough to form a second one. Takaya didnt see it coming so he was sent into the ground. Blood spread onto #3's arm. Dust and pieces of rock shot out towward the people watching. It was blocked by a force that surronded the arena. #3 grinned and began to laugh. Takaya wasnt so tough. How could he be when he was dead??

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko watched the fight intently. They looked evenly match for a while then dust flew at them and she closed her eyes. When she opened them again she saw blood but not Takaya "Takaya!!" she jumped up from her seat and yelled his name. Was Takaya dead?!

#2 did as she was told and jumped up back to where the other deadly five were "This should be fun!!"

[Ranryou Roga]

As the dust cleared Takaya stood in the middle of a large hole. his brown hair swayed back and forth as his left arm was covered in blood. He had blocked the Axe. As the dust was gone all together its could be seen that their was a large shield made from the earth below Takaya and #3. It had covered his left arm and made a strong shield. its was strong but the sheer force of and strength #3 had caused it to break apart before Takaya had the chance to harden it. Takaya looked up at #3 and smirked.

"To be so big you are way to weak." Takaya held his sword in his right hand and his expression was dead serious. Takaya growled and came across #3's body with an side slash. It caused his blood to spread across the rocky terrain. Takaya jumped once the Axe was moved and kicked him twice before falling to the ground. He placed both hands on the ground. His sword sank into the ground beside him. Takaya let out a alchemic charge and let it shot outward across the terrain. Large columns of rock shot out and came toward #3. Takaya pushed up with both hands and soared into the air. He then swung his body around and shot down toward #3. He then sent another charge down to the ground and rock spread across his legs. He then spanned and slammed both feet at same time into the rock columns. This added extra force to the blow.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko sat back down and smiles when she saw takaya was unharmed. Mostly anyway. Next would be her and Alice's battle. She wondered who would win. She had many tricks up her sleve and she herself was very strong. She hoped she would win.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

OOC: Ok, ok, ok. I'm posting, but if I get anything wrong, anything at all (which is bound to happen) then somebody please correct me.

Shikaru sighed as he looked at the list. "Dario.............who the hell is this?" Although he had never heard of Dario before now, he knew better than to underestimate someone he hasnt met. Still, he figured that he was in for some kind of suprise for this match, as the past fights he has taken place in never seemed to go exactly the way he planned.

OOC: Question: Exactly where is everybody right now? As I've been out for a while, I dont feel like reading 7 pages. Also, sorry for the short post, but I didnt want to get to far into anything without knowing exactly what's going on.

[Nespa]

poona just stuck her tongue out at kimiko maybe childish but hey she was 12. She watched the fight and frowned when the area changed "something is up, the high lord changes the area in takaya's favor". she rubbed the back of her head 'the question is more why, it seems the high lord wishes takaya to survive for a while longer' she crossed her arms and closed her eyes for a moment in thought.

[Ranryou Roga]

#3 roared and blocked useing his axes. They turned into twin poles and then #3 slammed them together making a large pole. Then then swung it around and knocked Takaya out of the park. He grinned and allowed the Pole to turn into a spear. he then threw it right at Takaya going a a high rate of speed then Takaya was flying.

Takaya used his body to catch himself mid air. Takaya continued to fly backwards. He growled as the spear closed in. he swung his body at the last second. The spear cut his right side. Takaya then used his arm to send an alchemic charge into the spear as it passed by. He stopped at the second stage and broke the Spear down. Metal rained down across the field. Takaya landed on a rock coulum and looked at the giant. He didnt like someone trying to give him then upperhand.

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

OOC: Sorry for the short post
Aia watched the fight. Thit Takaya person is strong...he could make it all the way. Aia suddenly realized that the High Lord had arranged it so that Takaya would have the advantage. Now why would he do that? Her brain was whirring as she tried to keep away from all the dust. It seems to be working though.

[Tetsanosuke]

When the weapon hit the ground before him he simple swayed away, his body glowing all the colors of the spectrum as his feet didn't move a bit. He shifted over to his opponent, and looking up him he would find his colors shifting once more. His green hair and peach skin were sucked inside, the colors writhing within before an ice cold blue seemed to splatter into his hair like a liquid in a plastic pouch. He felt his skin go plain grey and white again, monotone as he would nudge his opponent lightly. He kept his face turned about, his black blind fold still tight around his eyes as he stood right beside him, sensing his colors and facing his aura.

"Putrid... Isn't it?" He said with a deep dark tone, arms crossed, chilling the very chora he was standing about.

"But I cannot apologize.. if I am to kill you then it must be so. If you are to kill me do it right."

With that he would shift over, his blind face towards the high Lord's place as the battle ensued. He would make it to the end and gain the power, return to the Rift in Reality and banish that blasted Highratz, his goal he set when he sewed his eyes shut.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Shikaru had returned a nudge to Dario as he walked by. "There are plenty of ways to kill a person.....which way I may do it, well, that's not very important, is it? If one of us has to die, then so be it. But I will strive to assure that it will not be me who is digging there own grave in this fight."

Afterward, completely ignoring Dario's existence, Shikaru turned to the battle. He usually liked a good show, but at the moment, that's all he wanted. The last thing Shikaru wanted to do was begin to care about what was happening in the fight, as the important thing to him was to make sure when his fight came, that he would live. Thankfully, his battle would be the next to last fight in this round, so he was given time to converse with the others. He just didn't want to get too attached to somebody, as they could easily be killed in this tournament.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

The fight was amazing, Rei was still smiling but he now KNEW he didn't stand a chance. Yeah sure, 4 was lower than 3 but what if the names didn't mean anything? Then what? He was dead. Why couldn't he fight Gorlack in the first round? Then he could give it his best shot and either die or go home...

[Ranryou Roga]

Gorlack grinned once he saw his opponnet. The high lord was a full for having him fight his #5 member. Gorlacj grinned and sat on the out side of the arena watching Takaya. Gorlack didnt understand how he could cover the area with metal and still fight when #3 could control the metal. This would be intresting.


#3 roared in laughter as metal began to rise up his body and into his right hand. He continued to laugh intel the metal formed a axe. Metal still covered the gorund but he didnt care. Takaya just lost the match doing this. #3 grinned and metal spikes rose and shot toward Takaya from the air and the ground. He ran behind them with an axe in his hand. He would kill him with this attack.

Takaya growled and watched as the attacks came. He wouldnt allow this idiot to kill him. Takaya held his hand out and time seemed to slow around him. His sword rose from the metal floor and rose to his hand. Takaya's hair turned back to red as did his metal arm and his eyes. HIs alchemic universe symbol spread onto his clock. It covered his face as he rested his sword on his shoulders. Time returned to normal as the spikes and 33 continued to rush toward him. Takaya grinned under the clock and and rose his sword into the air. Right before the spikes and #3 hit and brought it down hard. A red light shined before #3 and the metal spiked were covered in flames. Takaya grinned as the metal began to disappear. #3 fell back with his blood covering his body.

#3 didnt understand how he was beaten so easliy. The fight had just began and he had just lost. #3 roared in pain as large flaming cuts spread acorss his body. He roared and began to stand up. This wasnt the end. He wold kill Takaya now. He began to charge toward Takaya. His axe in his hand. he rose it into the air and came down on Takaya with a overpowered metal swing. Rocks and piece of metal spread around him as he laughed. He had done it.

Gorlack laughed. #3 was a weak fool. he was dead when he stood up. He could have lived but thanks to his ego he was now dead. Gorlack laughed and stood up. His matchs was coming up soon. He had to go use the restroom.

#3 laughed. "Takaya now that your dead ill have fun with your friends. Starting with the small one. #3 growled and began to walk toward Poona. The arena turned back to normal. Still dust was still swirling around the area Takaya was at. #3 laughed and continued to walk. He licked his lips and growled at Poona. She would taste nicly with a side of Kimiko.

"How dare you think you could have killed me with a simple attack like that." Takaya stood in the dust with his sword in his hand. Blood ran down the side of his face. He looked at #3 as he turned around. He shot off towards him. he brought his sword up in the act of cutting #3 in half.
"Never try and touch them."

Takaya's blade was blocked by a staff. It was the staff of #4. he stood infront of #3 with the staff in his hand. He looked Takaya in the eyes and elbowed #3 in the stomach knocking him out. #4 then grabbed the giant by his arm and threw him towards #2. She was strong enough to catch him. #4 looked at Takaya and growled. Takaya was stronger then he had thought.

[Pirate Toast]

#2 caught #3 and growled "You fool. You should have died! I would have left you to die!!" she sat him next to her. Kimiko and Alice was next.

Kimiko ju,ped up and ran down the stairs to Takaya when the fight was over "Takaya are you ok?!" she saw him covered in blood and paled. "Takaya...please tell me your ok..."

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya grinned once Kimko came towards him. "Im fine Im fine. He couldnt have killed me if he tryed. Takaya didnt understnad how #3 was so much weaker then #4. The numbers were just lies. it was their to throw the enemy off. Takaya new this but would the others. #4 could be the strongest of them. All Takaya knew was that compared to #3,#4 was just as strong as Takaya.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko smiled and hugged Takaya getting some blood on herself. "Well, it is my turn to fight...wish me luck" she smiled and steps away from Takaya. Her wings turned full living metal and her sword was latched her her arms.

#2 hopped down and went back to the programmer "High lord what theme would you like for this fight?" she yelled.

[Ranryou Roga]

"A metal arena.with a high up drift." The high lord grinned. The metal could give Alice the advangetge on the ground but with the up drift Kimiko has a good defense and offense. Alice is smart she will be able to counter that.

[Nespa]

poona backed away a bit when three aproched and sighed when he was pulled away. She let kimiko do the hugging part for now because she needed to be down there anyway. She looked at takaya qeustionly mostly on teh fact that he was hugging a woman who agreed with the high on her fighting for a moment.

[MaruDashi]

Alice watched the battle and was impressed. The boy didnt give up, he had determination, which was a quality she herself had, and admirered [sp?].
She simply closed her eyes and continued to sit where she was as she heard what kinda of arena Kimiko and herself would be fighting in. She smiled. Though the girl could fly, Alice was now surrounded by one big weapon, which gave her an advantage of her own.
Alice stood, stretched and headed towards the center of the arena.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko takes the up drift to the sky and plucks 5 metal, razor sharp feathers from her wings. The living metal took the place of her feathers to keep her air bourn. Kimiko waited for Alice to get in position and for the High Lord to say start.

#2 jumped back into the stands with the deadly 5 and waited for the match to begin.

[MaruDashi]

Alice stood in place and kept her eyes on Kimiko. She tuned out all other voices in order to hear when the match would begin.
Her heart raced with anticipation and excitement. Her adreline shot up to extreme levels, she wanted to pounce, but she knew she had to be patient.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei watched the others, his hope sinking a little more with each passing heartbeat. He had sensed exactly what it seemed Takaya had sensed about 4#. The numbers meant nothing, Rei knew he might have stood a chance against 3# but now he was wondering whether to give up.
He knew he'd go into the fight and wouldn't give up unless all was hopeless, hell, he might have luck on his side. It was all he had now...

[Ranryou Roga]

The High Lord was getting more and more impressed with Takaya's strengh. he was growing by the second. He couldnt help but laugh at the weak attacks of #3. The High Lord looked at the next battle and smiled under the darkness. "Begin...."

Takaya jumped over the arena side and then hoped over a few stairs and then stood by Poona. He looked at her and smiled. She was fine. Takaya wasnt that hurt and if it came down to it then he would take her place in all matchs. The High Lord was smart. He could tell the power level's of all the fighters and could even fell the power of someone Takaya didnt know was at the tornament,Sain. Takaya didnt understand what this forst round was doing. maybe this wasnt the real tornament and a fake round so he could get a better feel of the contestants fighting abilites. That could explain why he didnt have Takaya kill #3. If you lose in this tornament you lose everything. Your life being the main thing. This was starting to get intresting.

Justin walked toward Takaya and the others and continued to glare at #1. That was his opponent. he would have to fight him sooner or later. He was glad it was sooner. He could take out a strong fighter in the beginning and then it would be easy from that point on.

[MaruDashi]

Alice wanted to pounce once she heard the ok to go, but she stood there and waited for Kimiko to make her move first. Whatever move she made, Alice would base her attack on that. Her grin widdened as to intimidate her opponent, and for the thrill she felt standing there.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko threw the razor sharp Feathers and disappeared but the air dropping to the grounf. She become as fast as lightening so no one could see her use her Alchemic powers. No once knew about them. She elbow Alice in the back and kneed (sp?) her in the stomach then disappeared back into the air.

She wasn't going to lose this round.

[MaruDashi]

Kimiko struck Alice a few times, but she wouldnt again.
"Tricky thing"
She switched to thermil vision, one of her nifty chips implanted in her brain. Even thoug Kimiko was invisible, she still released heat, which Alice could now see.
Alice spotted Kimiko. She then forced a tube of metal from the battle field and used it as a whip. Seeing as how Kimiko was airborn, Alice lassoed it around her ankle and forced her back to the ground.
"Magic wont save you..."

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko hit the ground on her back and gasped in pain. "Ow..." living metal was sent down her leg to the whip and to alice's arm. Metal turned to liquid metal burning Alice's arm alonge with the whip from her ankle.

Kimiko jumped up and ran to Alice slahing her with her sword then flipped into the air taking the up drift higher then she was before.

[MaruDashi]

A good amount of skin was badly burned on Alice's arm. That could be healed later, no time to worry about that now.
Kimiko slashed at Alice, which she baced up a bit, but not quick enough. Kimiko had made a shallow gash in Alice's side.
"Tch"
Alice sucked her teeth in detest. She stood for a moment and concentrated a bit. Her eyes glowed a bright red, and the entire field began to shake.
"Metal is my specialty." she mumbled to herself.
She moved her arms as if directing large amounts of metal in Kimiko's direction. When Kimiko was is just the right spot, she struch her side with one of the metal chunks. She was a little off, but she was still able to inflict a good amount of damage

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko gasps in pain as the metal hit her and her clothes were soon blood red. She droped to the ground and ran as fast as lighting to Alice " Metal is my element too." she said and sge grabbed some feather and sliced Alice multiply times withsome deep and other shallow.

Kimiko jumped back from Alice panting hard but she wouldn't give up. She wasn't done yet.

[MaruDashi]

Alice refused to let her pain show, instead she breathed normally, and smiled the whole time. This was something she trained in doing. She didnt even look down at her wounds, instead she ran a 'damage report' and saw that she was severly injured in a few places, but not enough to cause any serious damage any time soon. If she has to, she would have her flesh replace with sinthetic skin.
It wasnt until she felt a breeze on her skin that she looked down to see her latex suit torn up. Thank the Gods nothing 'private' was visible.
Once again her eyes glowed red as she formed a large dome around Kimiko. Inside were dozens of small shards of metal, which she sent a few dtraight down towards Kimiko.
While doing so, Alice wondered if she should just kill her oponent off and be done with it. [sigh] Decisions, decisions, decisions.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko turned the shards into living metal to cover her body and help the wound at her side heal if only slowly. Kimiko pressed her hand against the metal. It formed around her hand and she stepped out. She had shallow cuts all alround her body and her cloths were mostly torn to shread around her stomache and legs. She was bleeding from the cuts.

Kimiko took the metal from her body and it formed about 200 small spiked balls that circled Alice. They came closer and closer till they zoomed in fast for the kill.

[MaruDashi]

Alice sank into the ground, the field was thick enouh for her to do so. She pushed herself back out behind Kimiko, and targeted the metal she had use to cover up her wounds.
She had Kimiko's temp patch work constrict Kimiko, and even had some slither up and tighten around her neck. Alice figured she would choke her enough to simply konck her out. Kimiko was a strong fighter, there was no sense in actually killing her.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko gaspped for air. She let the metale drop of her and took hold of the blde at her hip. SHe hasn't use the blde much. She took the hilt and nothing was there. She slashed down on Alice as wind and metal slices her into ribbons.

[MaruDashi]

Now, correct me if Im wrong, but wasnt there supposed to be an agreement between fighters about killing off a character, which was never agreed between Yukari and myself, but it seems that she just cut my character to "ribbons" thus killing her. And this is the Co-GM? [5. Their will be no killing of another person character unless both pm me and we talk about it OK.]
Im sorry Hollow, but if you Co-GM cant follow the rules you set up and keep it a fair RP [and somewhat God mod her character I might add (since her sign up simply stated that she can shape shift and is fast, it says nothing about having the ability to affect metal)], then I pull out now. And I want absolutly NO mention of Alice from here on out. She never excisted in this RP.
And Im sorry Hollow, but you made poor judgement in choosing you Co-GM.

[Pirate Toast]

Hollow Ichigo's character cuts. Like #4. No is going to die in this round. It is for the High Lord to judge which characters are going to placed against. No dies in this round so Hollow Ichigo's character will cut in to stop that. We have already discussed it. Like when #4 intervened (sp?) in Takaya's and #3's battle. I will not really kill your character.

No one's character will die in this round.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei sat down, the empty sadness disappearing quickly. It looked like the high lord didn't want anybody to die. He was figuring it out in his head. The lord didn't let Takaya kill off 3# and he now gave both combatants advantages. Then his hopes sank again, what were his advantages? He had magic absorbing armour, so if 4# was a magician he was ok. He also had the god like sword he weilded.
Sharp as diamond, his sword was said to have the power to cut gods. Or so his father had said. But how did he know? Had he even fought a god? Rei could tell it was no ordinary blade but against these people? He just didn't know.
Then he thought about the spear on his back, he could keep an enemy at bay with that. Maybe the arena turned into a maze, with tight corridors so as to give Rei, the underdog the advantage he needed.
Oh how he wished he was a god, then he'd be just that bit more powerful...

[Ranryou Roga]

A black ball of pure aura spread across the arena. both Alice and Kimiko were pulled away from one another. The High Lord smiled at the fight and then looked over at Kimiko. She herself was a great fighter. Alice in her own way was even more surprising. She was one of the smartest people in this tornament. The High Lord would hate to lose her.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko walked away as she goes back into the stands. The next fight would soon begin. She sits down in a chair panting. She was bleeding from some small wounds and some large ones as well. Alice was a great fighter.

She looks for Poona "Poona do you have some medcine to heal mine and Takaya's wounds?"

[Nespa]

poona looked rather coldly towards kimiko as she asked for medications "i left my saddlebags back in the room". sighing she kneelded down, kimiko had lost a bit of poona's favor with her actions and poona was not really gonna care about her wounds right. yawning she leaned against takaya's leg, she was stil tired.

[MaruDashi]

OOC:
After speaking with Hollow, I agreed to stay.

BIC:

Alice sat at the other end of the arena, covered in her own blood and a bit of Kimiko's as well. She leaned back and looked around a bit for a port she could pulg herself into and run a few repairs on herself. She sighed when she couldnt find any.

Alice got up and headed back to her room. Her leg pained her to a point where she wanted to limp, but forced herself to endure the pain with a smile. She didnt make any eye contact with any one of the other fighters, not until she fully healed.

Once in her room, she took out a small bag and pulled out a few patches of "skin" and put them on her wounds. It wrapped around each would and blended in with her real skin, and would remain there until her actual flesh fully healed. Now, it was time to clean up in the bath house.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko paled more as she lost blood little by little. She was too stubborn to go back to her room. She wanted to see the other fighters fight. Her clothes were still torn and she closed her eyes.

Alice was a great fighter. Maybe Kimiko shouldn't have gone as far as she did but she didn't know if she was going to die. She didn't even know what the High Lord had planned for them all.

[Luzifer]

Sain yawned... he was sleeping on the ground curled up in a little ball... or atleast thats how it looked. A tired hand spasmatically reached over to scratch the back of his head as he was jostled awake by the ruckus going on around him. He blink several times...

#1 continued to lean, bored, against the wall of the "arena" or whatever this bloody place chose to call itself. He wasn't particularly interested in the goings on of the fighters and only knowledge of the fact that his fight was following the engagement between Alice and Kimiko kept him from leaving altogether. And now with their "fight" over with it was his turn but he did not ready himself. He was in no rush to have to kill again... he would just wait until the last possible moment. Give his opponent every opprotunity to surrender.

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin jumped into the middle of the arena and looked up at #1. He grinned and pointed his finger at him. "Get down here now." Justin smiled and laughed. He woulndt lose to someone like him. No matter what.

The High lord grinned under the darkness. Time to begin. "#2 give them a normal arena. Just put up a barriar around them. Get ready to move a dead body. The High Lord laughed and looked over at Takaya. It was time to set things in motion.

Gorlack growled under his breath. What was the High Lord thinking. If he didnt want anyone dead in the first round then why had he told #1 to kill Justin. Was this a way of getting at Takaya. Takaya didnt even know Justin that well. They talk as Gorlack had seen,but they were just friends. Nothing to serious as to make Takaya mad. What was the High Lord thinking?

Takaya looked at poona and then at Kimiko. he signed and clapped his hands together. They glowed green. He placed them on Kimiko's shoulder and the green light was absorbed into her body. it would take time for them to heal all the way but she would live.

[Luzifer]

#1 sighed and walked casually to the arena sparing only the motion to make sure that his sword was clear in its scabbard. He then put both hands into his pockets and stood in an almost awkwardly relaxed pose. He said nothing. Words would be wasted here as they would be in almost any situation. He looked at his opponent and waited. He always gave his opponent the first move... and to credit his opponents stupidity they always took it.

[Ranryou Roga]

OCC: Im about to Pwn you Luzy WOOT!!!

Bic: Justin smiled and jumped a few feet back. once the High Lord said Begin Justin bent his knees and toke off. He shot towards #1 and stopped directly infront of him. Justins body hovered above the ground as he drew both his katanas and placed both feet on the ground. He jumped and came across #1 in a side slash movement. He would lose in the forst round. He wold destroy the person that killed his mother and uncle. No matter what.

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko smiled weaking at Takaya and watched as the new battle began. She sat up in her seat to get a better look at the match. Maybe after this one she would go back to her room. "Thanks Takaya. I feel much better" she smiled up at him. "Are you ok as well?" she hoped he was ok. Not just telling her because he didn't want her to worry.

#2 changed the arena to a normal one and shook her head as Justin stupidly yelled out at #1. #1 was strong.

[Luzifer]

#1 hardly batted an eye as he leapt a few feet back to let the katanas pass by his stomach and then leapt back in close. Without bothering to take his hands out of his pockets he brought his knee up, aiming directly for his opponents gut. He hoped he was holding back enough that it wouldn't be fatal. He could never be sure.

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin missed. He smirked and was about to counter when #1's knee connected with his stomach. Justin backed up and groweld. He then made a cross with both katana's. lighting began to surge around the blades as Justin closed his eyes. He began to inhale and exhale as the lighting flashed around the blades and his body. Justin opened them and shot forward. Both katana's on the ground trailing lighting behind him. Justin jumped into the air and came down towards #1. The light close behind him and inside of his blades. Justin made the same cross and came down on #1 in the motin of cutting an x into his body. Even if Justin missed the aura and the range of the lighitng would still hit #1. If he was lucky it would slow him down enough for Justin to use another attack.

[Luzifer]

Another plan passed through #1's mind quickly and he acted on it with equal speed. Turning around he thrust his back down ward shoving the tip of the metal mounting of his zanbato into the ground. Then at the last possible instant he gently jumped into the air... not enough to move but enough to get his feet off the ground. Both blades clashed against the steel of his scabbard, and, more importantly, since the scabbard was now grounded and thuse the shortest possible path to the ground while his body was not, the lightning went harmlessly down the mounting leaving himself unharmed. He looked back at his opponent.

Mistake #1: he lectured in his mind, choosing not to use his voice to do so outloud attacking recklessly with both swords and leaving the body exposed. Leaning forward and placing his hands on the ground to give his feet some extra leverage, he kicked upward with the full force of both legs.

He could have used a more lethal attack... but he still hoped his opponent would surrender before killing became necessary. Turning around he waited once more for his opponents next move

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin backflipped mid-air and landed on the ground. He smiled and wiped away a few trails of blood. Justin smiled and pointed one sword at #1 and another one toward the sky. Justin grinned as light began to surge throughtout his body. Justin then stopped and made an X and slashed down. A x shaped pattern of flames shot out towards #1. Justin ran be hind it with the same trail of lighting behind him. He smiled to himself and held one like a Kunai knife.

[Luzifer]

A simple affair... the lord almost sighed... this foe sure was fond of trying amazingly standard attacks and somehow expecting that if they were really powerful that they would somehow be more likely to hit. But such was not the case as #1 cartwheeled out of the way of the flames, still having not taken his hands from his pockets. If his opponent continued to try to attack from such a great distance then he could wait for his foe to tire and force him into submission... that would end this whole pathetic "fight" with no bloodshed.

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin smiled. #1 was stronger and faster then him,but justin had one thing he didnt. A mind. Justin ran towards #1 in the same manner. He then unleased a halestorm of lighting based attacks. They surged and travels around the rea towards #1. Justin was fly in the air and was sending down fire after lighting after fire type attacks.


Justin landed on ground and smiled. He then twirled both katana's around before making an X with them. He closed his eyes and whispered.

"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!"

Justin was surronded by twin lord. One red and one yellow. One beinging the master of Fire and the other being the master of Lighitng. Justin opened his eyes and piont one katana at #1. The lighting Lord fused with Justin giving him Lighting like reflexes and Lighting speed. The fire Lord fused with his blades and weapons giving hijm the strengh and the feiry of fire. Justin smiled and let a yello light shine from the type of his blade.

"Thunder Roar Cannon, Crash down"

Justin unleashed a large yello blinding energy attack that was followed by a round of lighting bolts.

[Luzifer]

#1 watched this display with his usual calm... apparently this idiot was continuing to just increase his power. But that idiot didn't grasp the concept that power and speed were the most worthless of things... and why did he call out the attacks name? What kind of idiot tells their opponent their next attack... unless perhaps he wanted him to know... hn... another plan flew through #1's mind...

he jumped straight into the blast... not avoiding it at all...he threw his blade of his back... the first time he had taken a hand out of his pocket the entire fight and all the lightning channeled into the metal sending the blade skittering off, white hot. He continued through the small blasts, more distractions then anything else and suddenly he was infront of his foe...

He pulled back his hand, telegraphing a massive hand thrust but then suddenly kicked upwards at his opponents jaw...

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin was kicked striaght up. He gasped at how is attacks did nothing to #1. He fell back a few yards and slid to a heavy stop. Justin slowly stood up and wiped away a trail of blood dripping from his bloodly mouth. Justin coughed and looked at #1. What was he? How could one person be so strong and fast? Want was thing feeling he felt? It felt like the devil'[s hand was trying to bring him down to the gates of hell.

"What the hell are you?"

Justin couldnt take it anymore. This feeling was driving mad. Justin was being back into a conner everytime #1 looked at him. Justin couldnt take this anymore. With a yell of pain Justin shealhed both Katana's and yelled somemore. Flames and lighitng began to surronded himself and #1. Justin continue dto growl intel the flames covered his arms and lighitng surged from his legs. Justin looked up at #1 and grinned. He then leaned forward and vanished all together. he would then reform behind #1 and try to come across his face with a lighting fill kick. Justin was much faster then before if landed it would send Lighting down the spineal cords and nerve ending of #1. This would stun him long enough for Justin to counter with a even strong attack.

[Luzifer]

It was tragic to see his opponent so distraught, so #1 had been walking toward the raging young man to try and offer his condolences when his enemy vanished. #1 reacted by immediately to begin moving around at full speed, zigzaging and moving without pattern. His opponent would be trying to draw a bead on him and he wasn't about to let that happen... his life wasn't much of a concern to him anymore but he was still bound by his duty.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei had given up on watching the fight when it got too fast for him to keep up. He could see 1# but justin must have been moving really fast to keep from being seen. Father had always said Rei's eyes were keen. He knew his fight was coming up, and knowing that he couldn't die didn't really help. It wasn't that he was afriad of pain, there was lot of that on savage.
He looked around at the other fighters, it was the first time he had since the start of the fights.
He smiled softly when he realised that nobody really cared he was there. They were all for being friendly last night, but now the fights had started hostility had broken out. Then again nobody was hostile, only colder. Oh well, when the fights ended there would be another night, or possibly a day of peace before the next round. He could only hope...

[seraphic_demon]

ooc: well I'm back, sorry for the delay, short post

Bic:

"Sir," Fu paused as His Commander read his report. "The half-angel, He's got that potential that you were lookig for. I think he can handle higher ranked missions."

"You think?" The Commander rasped, "I think he's still too young to go out o a mission...even with you! train him some more. The yakuza's are wreaking havoc and the zaibatsu's all rallied up. take care of that first."

"Yes sir!"

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin grinned and let the flames around his arms and hands spread to his shoulders. He then slammed them both into the ground and sent flames spreading outwards covering the flors and the force field holding them in. Justin grinned and noticed #1 for the first. The flames must have slowled him down. Justin smiled and then began to run up the flames. The run up the side of the force field not getting hurt friom the intense flames. he then jumped and spinned mid air above the batte arena. Flames mixed with Lighting swirled and then shot down towards the arena. Justin was spining mid-air causing his flames to cover his body and then he directed them with the lighting shoting them right at #1.

[Luzifer]

#1 focus his entire mind to dodging... his enemy was far stronger then him in raw strength and getting hit by one of those blast would spell the end but he had the advantage in speed and in his ability with three dimensional positioning. He constantly drew and redrew in his mind diagrams of where each incoming blast was and the best way to avoid it without leaving himself open to another. It was difficult and taxing on the mind but such were his built in disadvantages. Still he managed to get through without being hit... but he decided not to expose himself by trying to rush in for an attack... doing so would not be playing into his strengths but rather into the enemies.

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin backflipped and lande don the ground. #1 was skilled but justin had a way to stop that. The flames drew back into Justin as he ran around in a circle. Fire began to rise into the air as he ran. Justin growled as a few cut spread across his arms and legs. This tecnque was a good one but it still did damage to him.

[Luzifer]

#1 slipped his right hand, his strong hand from his pocket as he watched the opponent move in a circle for seemingly no particular reason except, perhaps, to heighten the drama. This fight had been dragged on for too long as things stood and with him using both hands, he doubted it would last much longer. Still, best be cautious... he needed a plan. He had to use his opponents over aggression against him but his opponent was engaging him at too great a distance. Whats more is he seemed to be refusing to become exhausted... despite the fact he was using incredibly powerful attacks... still the man was stupid... perhaps he just didn't realize how tired he actually was and would suddenly die or pass out when it finally caught up to him. #1 didn't want that... he decided that he'd knock his foe unconcious before he became a danger to himself.

[Ranryou Roga]

((Ok Luzy i know he isnt acting liek he was atleast tired. this isnt my character. You know the plan. Let finish this now.))

Justin stoped and let the tornado of flames wrapped around his arm. he then turned and threw the flames at #1 in a whip like motion. Justin's sweat sropped to the floor as his attack headed towards #1. Justin was wide open for an attack but didnt care. He would kill #1 know matter what.

[Luzifer]

#1 emptied his mind... he had been given the element of speed, when he was drafted, so to speak, by the High Lord, and now he let all of it into his body... he analyzed his opponents guard instant and just as quickly so the opening... but there was the problem of the whips... but for that #1 had a mind as facile as his body.

He moved in... sliding through his enemies attacks... ducking, diving, doing everything in his power to dodge the attacks... until he was within arms reach. Then he stuck up his left hand in front of the firey whips and let it wrap around his arm... the cloth quickly melted away revealing that that arm was machine and even that began to quickly heat forcing #1 to make his next move in less then a hairs breath. He brought his right arm around and brought the palm of it hard towards the opponents head in order to knock him out.

[Ranryou Roga]

Justin didnt have time to act. His body was weak from the battle and the many attacks he had used. He quickly tryed to dodge the knock out ounch and was hit. Even thought Justin had moved he moved to the wrong spot. The knock out punch had been redirected to his temple. Once 31's fist hit Justin was instancly killed. His body fell numb and his arms fell to the ground. He then slowly fell to the side of 31 and layed on the ground. His eyes blank and his mouth open. Justin was the first to fall victim to this tornament.


Takaya stood up and watched as Justin fell. He gasped as his dead body laid on the ground. Takaya was shocked to see him dead. it was so early in the tornament and someone was dead. Takaya sat back down and looked over at Kimiko and Poona. He then growled and looked at #1. he wasnt a normal person as Takaya thought.

[Luzifer]

The body was looking at him... #1 was certain... those death-glazed eyes always looked at him! In order to keep from looking at the corpse #1 moved his gaze towards his hand, which, to his eyes, was covered in warm blood. He hadn't meant to kill him! Why did it always end like that? Why did he have to keep doing this? He clenched his fist in frustration but that was the only visible display he gave that might tip someone off that he was actually deeply sorrowful for the death he had wrought. He should have been over this by now. He turned away from the crowd and went off on his own... he pulled his cloak tight around him... he wanted to be alone.

Sain smiled

[Pirate Toast]

Kimiko eyes widen as Justin died. It was so early. She was still pale from the lost of blood. She looked at Takaya seeing the same suprised face as hers. "He's dead....I thought no one died....what happened? Was it a fulk?!" Kimiko didn't understand and she didn't really want to under.

#2 hopped down and picked Justin's body up and tossed him over her shoulder before asking the high lord. "What shall I do with the body? Take it to the kitchen and have him fixed for dinner?" #2 laughed. She was joking and hopping the scare the other.

[Luzifer]

Sain talked from behind Kamiko... no sound had indicated that he had actually walked there, "You honestly didn't expect someone would die?" he stuck his finger beneath his chin thoughtfully, "Now... when someone's lashing out waves of fire at lightning how can you honestly expect someone not to die? It seems to be beyond comprehension that someone wouldn't die." he looked across towards the body... "his death was perhaps perventable, to be sure... but he had ultimate control over his life and death. Justin killed himself. As a assuredly as #1 would have killed himself if one of Justin's attacks had landed. Should one be held responsible for the choices of another? No... they both chose that path and both can only be held responsible for their own deaths."

[Ranryou Roga]

Takaya stood back up ad jumped onto the arena floor beside #2. He quikcly toke Justin's body and jumped back to Kimiko. it had happened to fast that it looked like takaya was their then their again.Takaya put Justin's body down and looked up. Takaya looked at the High Lord and growled. He could tel he was smiling under the darkness. Takaya held his hand out and his sword rose again. This time it was covered in silver. Takaya jumped into the air and tryed to cut the High Lord in half. Only to meet the force field around him and the dealy five.

[Luzifer]

#1 glanced only briefly at Takaya's display before turning back towards the corridor that would take him to his chambers and his much desired solitude. The hood shifted as as he shook his head under its face covering darkness, the boy was acting foolish... if he continued being so emotional he would die... and #1 didn't want to have another needless death.

He walked back to his room and even when the door closed behind him he kept his hood up... since the day he had joined this horrid group known as the "Deadly Five" or somesuch "imposing" name, he had worn this hood. It was better for both his enemies and him. Neither of them ever had the hope of considering him human.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei stood there frozen, someone had died. He wasn't safe, the power the deadly 5 member had. And now he had to fight one. He knew it wouldn't be good who won here. Just because he was here for a noble cause didn't mean he suddenly had to power to cast down evil.
He took a step forward and unsheathed his sword. He just hoped he was lucky and that 4# had a twisted ankle or a deadly illness that would kill him quick. He'd be lucky to survive over a minute. So yeah, it had to be a quick illness...

[MaruDashi]

Alice left her room to head towards the bath house when she noticed number 1 and followed him a bit. She saw him enter a room, probably his room, and got a bit closer. She couldnt hear anything inside, so instead she switched to thermil [thermal? (heat)] vision and looked to see that he just stood there.
'I wonder why he left the arena...something must have happened.'

[Luzifer]

He heard easily the light footsteps of someone sneaking to his door and the soft intaking of their breath but he did not react. There was little for them to gain by spying on him. He took no part in his masters plans, he was merely a tool in their execution. Nor did he have any secrets which merely looking at him or hearing him could reveal, all that he was not proud of was locked away in his chest.

He sat down in front of a large metal desk. The fire had melted some of the albative armours from his metalic arm so he bagan the laborious task of replacing the pieces that had been lost.

[Ranryou Roga]

It was his turn now. His chance to fight. His chance to show Takaya what was coing after him. #4 quikcly jumped from his spot beside #2 and the area around the arena and the stands became heavy. As #4 landed the pressure increased. The weak would have dropped to the ground by now. This wasnt from the aura he gave off but from the elelment he commanded. The element of Weight. he could make any and everything litter or heavier.

"Now Rei was it. If you dont want to die then give up now. #1 was the only one ordered to kill someone but i dont really care now do I?? So if you want to live and fight again then leave this arena and go back to the stands. If you do fight then please make it so i dont have to be bored. I would like to save my strengh for Takaya but i cant cause little bugs like you get in my way."

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Rei laughed as the gravity increased, "This weight means nothing." he said in a strained voice. It was mostly true, due to all of the times he had to go down into the deadly mines on savage to get some strong ores or beautiful diamonds, the increased weight was nothing he hadn't felt before. This was a bit more intense than down the mines but it wouldn't affect him that much.

He drew his sword and readied himself by slowly spreading his legs out a bit and pulling his sword up in front of his torso. "We won't be having any mistakes here on my part." He felt the gravity lessening as the magic chain-mail started to absorb the influence from 4#. "Lets go." Rei was ready, he had to win. He had to fight Gorlack, it was what he was living for...

[FullMetalAlchemist997]

Aia hadn't been paying much attention up until Justin was killed. Her breath stopped in her chest. #2 said something that just made her dread having to fight her. Aia forced her mind back on track to avoid the panic that would be imminent if she allowed herself to think about the dead person anymore. When Rei stepped onto the field Aia began paying attention to the fight.

[Luzifer]

#1 finished his work and glance at the door... he could hear breathing still. He shook his head gently beneath his hood before standing up and walking to the door. He wonder what the person wanted only later tagging on a thought to wonder who the person was... honestly it wasn't his concern who they were. He wasn't in a position to be picky. Gently, he opened the the door and looked down at the somewhat shorter Alice... but said nothing.

[MaruDashi]

OOC: lol, I suck X3
I forgot that I needed to post here, sorry!


BIC:

Alice found herself confronted with number 1 but stayed quiet. She was certain he wasnt ordered to kill her, so she didnt worry too much about that. She looked down at his one arm, metal and partically shattered. It seemed he did a good job trying to get it back together, but there were still a few cracks and such throughout it.

"I have equipment that can fully fix that..."

She stood there and wondered why he wore a hood. Did he have a huge scar on his face? A missing eye? Why the hood? It drove her crazy with curiosity.

"....why hide your face?"

[Luzifer]

When he heard her second question #1 looked sidelong at the doorjamb, even if he was inclined toward speaking he wouldn't have answered that question. That answer would have only have spurred further questions, questions that he plagued his mind night and day but which, at the moment, he didn't want to deal with. Still, she could stay for a bit. #1 backed up and walked back into the room, leaving the door open so she would come in. He wasn't a member of what one would call the socialate but he did need his arm to have the necessary repairs. But he remained silent, as he gently pulled a second seat up to the workbench(why he had even had second seat in his room he had never quite understood but at least it was proving useful now).

[MaruDashi]

Alice shrugged to herself and sat down next to number one, pulling out a small saudering [sp?] pen that she always kept on her for her ports. She uncapped it and played with it a bit, but only to show how it worked. She handed it over to the hooded man next to her.

"Its a nifty little toy that comes in handy often. You might consider investing in one."

She looked around the room a bit.

"Hmm, its a lot nicer in here than in my room."

A smug smile crossed her face.

"Mind if I stay here with you tonight? My room is sooo spooky, and I get nightmares..."

She giggled to herself, she was always such a tease. Though she started to wonder what would happen if she pulled the hood off. She didnt watch his fight, so she wasnt sure if she would be fast enough. Still, the temptation was eating away at her. Curious as ever, just like in the story.

[Luzifer]

#1 observed how she was holding the soldering pen and when he grasped held with light caution, respecting the tool. He smirked in the darkness of his hood, technically he ought to invest but he had no money and he was not the type to ask for things. The high lord had given him his tools and so that was what he worked with. If something was required it was provided and that which he did not need was not. But seeing as this was being provided, it must be something he needed.

As he worked he listened to her talk. He had not really put much thought in the matter of accomadations, he hardly even considered where he slept, let alone where others did. But... it seemed very in character for the High Lord to provide the best rooms for his own men. #1 stopped his work to make a short, offering gesture with his hand toward the room. If room accomadations were causing a psychological difference between contestants then it would slant the results... then... it was only fair that he offer to even it... He supposed that meant he ought to take her room. He didn't need the advantage... Besides she could use his tools, it wouldn't be that great of a loss for him, since he rarely used his hands in battle... only as a last ditch option and at that point the condition of his metal arm was rarely an issue.

He finished and gently handed her pen back and stood up.

[MaruDashi]

Alice gestured that she didnt want it back.
"You keep it. I have about 8, and I barely ever use them."
She leaned back in her chair and innocently looked up at him, in hopes of seeing his face.
'Damn...too dark.'
She thought of an eye filter that moght work, but none really came to mind as actually working. The only choice shed really have was night vision, but it was too bright and she risked damaging her retinas.

"You dont talk much...whys that? The others chat away, but not you. You've got a tounge, right?"

She thought to herself for a moment.

"Do you have a name? A real name. I mean, Im sure you already know mine, its common curtisy to properly introduce yourself, espically to a lady."

[Luzifer]

#1 set the pen on the table, laid out in the disorder with the rest of his tools. He probably ought to organize that but he didn't care enough about his arm to invest the effort. His arm wasn't something he had consented on and he still begrudged it that.

When he realized what she was trying to look at, he turned his face away. Sigh... he had designed his customs to resist curiosity, to prevent others from humanizing him... He knew that her question wasn't entirely baseless but... he still didn't want to answer it. He gently scraped his tongue with his teeth, partly to remind himself that he did indeed have one for it had been a while since he used it for anything. "Words... are wasteful..." he intoned deliberately.

[MaruDashi]

Alice smiled to herself.
"I guess actions do speak better than words."

She stood and walked in front of him and cautiously reached up to touch his face. And hey, if his hood just so happened to fall off, then it wasnt completly her fault, right?
Alice stopped half way. She noticed that a patch of the sinthetic skin she put on was peeling off for some reason, eposing muscle and the metal plated on her bones.

"Something we have in common..."

She quickly covered it back up. 'Cheap crap...' she thought. It shouldnt peel off. Well, guess that was her que to actually bandage it up, knowing it would come off again in the bath.

"Its times like this that I feel like nothing more than a machine. Got any bandages?"

[Luzifer]

When she had begun to reach up for his face he had gently pulled back but when he skin starting the slough of he stopped and looked at it closely before she could pull it back. So she was from the machine universe most likely... not that was really his concern but it was something which he decided was good to remember.

She thought she was a machine? He wondered slightly at that. It had occured to him in the past to question why the High Lord used him, a man, when he could make a machine to fulfill the purpose. #1 had then noticed that since he never questioned his orders and all ways did what he was told, martyring his free will, that he was acting as nothing more then a machine. A machine after all was nothing more then a object which acted as an extension of the users body to perform a task the master would otherwise have to invest additional time and effort into accomplishing. "Machine" and "Tool" were synonomous terms, the difference lying only in complexity of parts. But that begged the question: Who did Alice serve?

It wasn't his business so he did not bring that question to vocalization. He merely shook his head to indicate that he did not have any bandages or at least that he knew of. He never really got hurt when he fought so he had never had to find out where they were located. Still, there had to be some in his room somewhere. He began looking through his room, searching in all the drawers he had never had cause to open. Eventually he came across what he was looking for and handed Alice her requested items.

[Ranryou Roga]

The High Lord looked down at the arena. This was getting funny. #4's fight was next. it was time to see if he was as strong as the High Lord thought.


#4 readyed himself by getting in his stance. His spear gleamed with power as he pointed it at his opponent. "Shall we begin???"

[MaruDashi]

Alice wrapped her arm the best she could, which proved to be a bit of a challenge with just one arm. She didnt bother to ask for help, since number 1 didnt seem to like being touch, so he probably didnt like to touch people back either.

Once done, she checked to see how well she did. She stretched out her arm and flexed it a bit to see if it would hold, and so far it seemed it would.

She thought back to how number 1 pulled back when she went to touch him.
"Hmph, Ive never met someone who was so afraid to live."

She then got up, stretched a bit, and placed the roll of bandages down on the table.

"If you need me, I'll be in the bath house."
