[i]Eclipse laughed lightly[/i] "No no no not punch your ghost I'll simply hold her between my hands and send sparks to her, these electric sparks will hold my life in tyem and with each spark that moves into her it will drain my life a little by little"
English

"And what makes you think that you have more electrical power than I? You must remember I am a Stormcaller. And a damn good one at that" Suddenly, a deafening horn blasted out from the open sea. A huge ship turned about a horn and was riding up to the coast where they were. Fallen symbols and insignia were present everywhere, not to mention the ship itself resembled a skiff and most of the crew were Vandals. With a few Captains amongst them. John did not bat an eye and instead waved. They dropped anchor about half a mile off shore and sent two small rafts towards them. "They got here sooner than I expected." He turned back to Eclipse. "Do whatever it is you plan to do. Odds are they want to give me a job"
-
[i]Eclipse nodded And Takes the ghost into both his hands and sits down and crosses his legs He closes his eyes and Suddenly shocks Flow through his body to the ghost his life draining alittle bit each time he does and his life force along with the shock moves into the ghost [/i]
-
The shell did turn slightly brighter but the second he stopped it went down to dead and black once more. And no matter how much he did it, the Ghost would still not wake up. After a few minutes, the Vandals hit the shoreline and spread out, killing any Devils they saw. "It was a good attempt but I don't think she is waking. And it seems like my ride is getting impatient"
-
[i]Eclipse's life force is nearly drained But he keeps trying at this point Electricity is flowing around him and into the ghost[/i] "No I'll get this" [i]Dency looks at eclipse[/i] "Master your health is getting dangerously Low"

"Don't destroy yourself for her sake. I'll bring her back. And if anyone is sacrificing themselves to save her, it's someone who is at the end of his rope" John looked at the massive Fallen ship. He flexed his hand and felt slightly tired. Maybe his immortality had kept him preserved long enough. His Ghost was dormant. Maybe she should find a new Guardian. John looked back and saw Eclipse continue to flood his Light into Averlia. He made a quick grab for the Ghost and took it from him. "Enough. I don't need you to die. That's your own choice when you want that to happen. You are a Guardian still" He rubbed his fingers on the glossy black surface. He felt how it rejected his heat. How it wanted to stay quiet. "You can't sleep just yet. Not until I finally can drink myself to death" John placed one hand on his sword and gripped the handle tightly. His knuckles turned white from the cold. "I told you to go out on your terms. You decide when you die. Or it'll be decided for you. I chose inaction. And I still regret it" John stared off past the ship to the slightly churning waves beyond. "You know, I've been dead for about half a century now? But Death always robs me. He never follows through. And I always wake up"
-
[i]Eclipse stood up and pulled his red death off his back[/i] "If you snatched somthing from mh hands again. I would of given her back to you, trust me I don't want your ghost but I know what it's like to nearly loosen one. Have it go quiet with no reason to wake up. And with death, I cheated it tank times as well, death gets me and he walks away every time. "
-
"I honestly don't care about how many times you've survived encounters you shouldn't. But I am interested in what you last said. You've had this problem before as well?" John did turn around to talk to him but pretended not to notice how he drew his weapon. He wouldn't die like this. Not here and not now. "How did you solve the problem?" A Vandal walked up to him and put his hand on John's shoulder. It spoke for a second before walking off again. He drew the Fallen device again and spoke into it. The voice on the other end seemed angry. "Well, unless you plan on coming along, I need that answer quick"
-
"Yeah I'll come along with you and sorry for the gun I get anxious around vandals. But what happened? Dency here one day just shut down He didn't wake up no matter what, I literally tried everything. Hell I went to the speaker himself even though I'm a wanted person in the tower. But eventually I used my own light and energy and it brung him back."
-
"Yeah... Odds are the Speaker would just laugh at me. And as for giving up my life force, I don't have much left. Magic takes a great toll on the body" The Vandals began to withdraw. They loaded up the boats and a few of them started to shout at John. He waved them off and began to make his way towards one of the emptier boats. "Come on then. When we get on the ship, they'll want to confiscate your weapons. It's nothing personal but they don't trust you either"
-
[i]Eclipse gripped his red death[/i] "Yeah That might be an issue with my red death. If I part from it it could make me go insane, That's the curse for the gift that it gives. Could I just give them all my ammo?"
-
"I'll have to ask to Baron of the ship. I personally don't know him but this entire House owes me a great deal. Same way around but I'm sure I can talk him into it. Depending on who he is" The sea was freezing cold. John felt the breeze carrying the ocean spray. He shook himself and took out a flask. He drank deep from it and then returned it. "Do you want any? I have some more"
-
Edited by Holy FirePriest: 1/7/2016 6:54:24 PM[i]Eclipse Removes His bullets from his gun and his spare and sets it in a bag. He then places it in Johns hands And takes the flask. He holds the flask in his rifht hand and with his left removes his helmet holding it at his side. His face is a light shade of gray and his right eye which eould be fully white is a light gray and his left eye that is normal Shape is gray as well. Eclipse then takes a long swig from the flask. While this is going on Dency tosses his gun into the air and makes it vanish[/i]
-
John looked at Dency with a slight sign of annoyance. "You couldn't resist putting the flair on it, could you?" John tested the weight of the bag and raised his eyebrows. "You carry a good deal of ammunition. I don't know why you would need so much but all to his own, right?"
-
"I'm surprised you have commented on my look here. I'm human and I look like I rolled around in gravel for 3 years. This darkness thing sucks ass" [i]Dency looks over at john and shrugs[/i] "Sorry I'm a ghost that's how we store stuff"
-
"It's not polite to talk about appearances. I may still be pretty but my body has taken a solid beating over the years. Scars produced by magic are very nasty. And I highly doubt Ghost throw things in the air. I mean, mine did but she was weird" John took out his hand cannon and fusion rifle. He then tossed them in the bag but the sword was still at his waist. The Vandals didn't say anything. The boat stopped at the side of the ship and a built in ladder helped them to climb up. On the deck, three Captains were waiting for them. Two were heavily armed with specialized shrapnel launchers. The third was much more peaceful but still had a mean looking saber at his side. John handed the bag to one of the Vandals going back into the galley. John walked to the central Captain with a smile. "Baron Devieus. How good to see you." The Baron spoke in broken English. Not quite as well as Variks. "[u]Good to be seen well[/u]" The Baron looked at Eclipse and Dency. "[u]Friend still is armed[/u]" "He's a... Special case I can guarantee his good behavior." "[u]I trust you, Jonathan of Light. Sure that your friend behaves[/u]" "I will. Thank you Baron"
-
[i]Eclipse sets the red death on his back putting his helmet back on and Walks past the baron following john. Dency followed a few seconds after looking over the vandals[/i]
-
"We'll go to the galley for now. They'll come in eventually and ask me for some help with something most likely. Then they'll drop us off at the nearest point where we have a hangar. Then you can call your ship and be on your way" John opened the door into a small, strange looking place. Fans were everywhere. Many holographic displays were posted on the walls. The only that was normal was the table next to the wall. A bench jutted out with several chairs as well. John looked right at home and sat with his back to the wall. He propped his feet up on the table and closed his eyes. "Some food and drinks might be in here somewhere. But no booze. Elinski can't drink it." John said the last note a little bitter. He was very unhappy that he couldn't refill his flask.
-
[i]Eclipse sits down in one of the chairs and leans back the best he can. Dency looks around before asking[/i] "Can I attach myself to the ceiling here?"
-
John opened his eyes and rubbed his ears. "I'm sorry. I think I misheard you. Did you say 'attach yourself to the ceiling'?"
-
[i]Dency removes his helmet with a stupid grin on his face and nods enthusiastically[/i]
-
John was actually lost for words. He just sat their for a second and looked at him. It felt like quite a long time before he talked. "I mean, it should support your weight and I'm not sure how the Baron would feel about it. As long as you don't break anything"
-
[i]Dencys face glows with excitement as a small hiss is heard and in an instant he is fully attached to the ceiling above his face filled with a large robotic grin. Eclipse laughs a bit[/i] "You're ghost isn't the only weird one. Every sense we got him a body it's been crazy." [i]Eclipse looks at john[/i] "I'll understand if you wish to say no bit we could always transfer your ghost into a body herself. She would be able to still revive you and do all other ghost stuff like scan items and doors"
-
"I can't have that. Then my years of calling her a ball and not understanding would be for nothing. I have to keep that joke going" John looked at Dency stuck to the ceiling laughing and looked back at Eclipse. "There's weird, which my Ghost is. And then there's Dency. I thought I was unlucky but I am sorry"
-
[i]Eclipse chuckled a bit[/i] "I love Dency I don't care if he's weird as hell. But I'm serious Whats more important her life or a joke of calling her a ball?"
-
"You really have to ask that question? Of course I'm protecting her above all else-" John stopped for a moment and looked at Dency. "Hey Dency, how do Exos feel in comparison to humans. Do they feel warmth, cold, humidity, etc?" John looked back at Eclipse. "I think I may be able to get behind this"
