(Sai has received a call from Kav about an attack at the GB&P. As he arrives, he sees most of his allies there, but this attacker is revealed to be [b]Dyszkor[/b], who has escaped from the [b]Offtopica[/b] explosion, and is now causing mayhem in [b]Sakrisen[/b].) [b]Kavita:[/b] Sai, you said you've seen this android before. How tough is he? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Highly menacing. A Scale-7 at weakest. [b]Cathera:[/b] WHAT?! Kav, you know the power scaling of threats that strong?! [b]Kavita:[/b] I don't know. Like 250 million at least? [b]Saitonia:[/b] You called anyone else? [b]Kavita:[/b] Ran out of time. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Where's that Alexa? Kav, where's your brother? [b]Kavita:[/b] Alexa's in the bar, and I could care less where my brother is. Where's your sister? [b]Saitonia:[/b] In isolation. *scoffs* He's just standing there. I see typing on his chest. *transforms into [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 3. I'm waiting for him to make a move. (On the building, [b]Esadius[/b] has his wrist claws equipped against [b]Dyszkor[/b].) [b]Dyszkor:[/b] [i][u][We meet again. This time, on a planet that can handle universally destructive battles.][/u][/i] [b]Esadius:[/b] Well yeah because it couldn't handle an explosion from an [b]eraser[/b]. *black and purple energy emitting from his wrist claws* DO SOMETHING! I'm waiting for the tiniest reason to slash you up into bits! [b]Dyszkor:[/b] [i][u][You first.][/u][/i] *Gooey, black and purple energy burst around [b]Esadius[/b] before lunging at [b]Dyszkor[/b].* __________________________________________ [b][i]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/i][b] __________________________________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *Just a split second after [b]Esadius[/b] lunges at [b]Dyszkor[/b], everyone else excluding Alexa follows. The way they're attacking seems like a strategy, trying to lure [b]Dyszkor[/b] away from populated areas, and it seems to be working. [b]Esadius[/b] quickly claws at [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s torso, then jumps as far as he can to a widespread area, where they won't end up destroying anything but the ground under. The attack from [b]Esadius[/b] angers [b]Dyszkor[/b], putting him in pursuit as the others follow [b]Dyszkor[/b]. 12 seconds of chasing, and [b]Esadius[/b] has found a open field. A normal open field in [b]Terranoviatia[/b]; tall, glowing blue grass flowing, relasing glittery blue sparks.* *[b]Dyszkor[/b] tries to crash down on [b]Esadius[/b], who jumps out the way, [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s crash cracking the ground, sending a shockwave the second after. He's then suddenly jumped by everyone, minus Van, who might take a while to get there. He did get a new incarnation, so he'll have to get used to it. 4 seconds into the unified attack, [b]Dyszkor[/b] releases an explosion from his body that knocks everyone back. He then teleports right by [b]Virol[/b], and bashes him in the head with his cannon, then charges it up to take a shot, but Cas throws a disabler knife into the barrel, canceling the blast. She then teleports in front of [b]Dyszkor[/b], and sends a powerful claw attack, only pushing him back 4 feet. Cas rolls under [b]Dyszkor[/b], in attempts to disable any critical spot on his body, but he answers with a downward slash attack from his blade, causing a small explosion that forces Cas to keep her distance.* *The [b]annihilator[/b] twins and [b]Shiani[/b] make their move, attacking [b]Dyszkor[/b] in unison. Seconds later, [b]Shiani[/b] jumps back and fires a chunk of [b]Spektral[/b] Ice shards, dealing some damage, lingering for 4 seconds while the [b]annihilator[/b] twins keep up the assault. [b]Dyszkor[/b] retaliates with a short, but instant teleportation that blinds and causes the [b]annihilator[/b] twins to become dizzy. He then reactivates his cannon, but fires a Light Mode Blast, which is a swarm of white energy that depletes energy usage. The ones tagged are the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Virol[/b], and Cas, so now they'll have to resort to melee for a few. [b]Dyszkor[/b] then fires into the ground, as seconds later, beams of purple energy rain down on everyone. Most dodge, but the ones who took the most damage were the ones affected by his Light Mode Blast.* (Somewhere away from the field, a random civilian notices the purple beams raining down, and reacts by saying: "Oh, like that Prince song.") *[b]Sakiro[/b] swoops in with her signature spinning twin blade attack, fueled by purple energy. It doesn't do that much damage, as [b]Dyszkor[/b] swings at her with his blade, in which she swiftly evades, then leaps up and extends her blades to latch onto [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s shoulders, then as she's coming down, he smacks the extended blades off him, but [b]Sakiro[/b] is still coming down, so he charges up a Dark Mode Blast, and fires a swarm of black energy all over her, freezing her, a burning and cutting sensation taking over [b]Sakiro[/b], giving [b]Dyszkor[/b] the time to fire a purple beam that breaks [b]Sakiro[/b] out and sends her crashing.* *Sai cancels a barrier he has summoned over himself, Cat, and Kav. [b]Shiani[/b], who's several meters away, covering herself with a giant ice shard, notices [b]Sakiro[/b] coming down, so she freezes her, covering [b]Sakiro[/b] in ice. Then as she gets closer, she breaks the ice as she catches [b]Sakiro[/b].* [b]Sakiro:[/b] *looking back at [b]Shiani[/b]* Not now.... [b]Shiani:[/b] Romantic. *[b]Shiani[/b] lets [b]Sakiro[/b] back up as she jumps right back at [b]Dyszkor[/b], who's currently getting attacked by the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Esadius[/b],[b]Virol[/b], and Cas.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Cat, get a sense of his power. [b]Cathera:[/b] I'll try, though it's interfered by the others. *eyes glow green, getting a measurement of [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s power* He's not at full power, so I'm getting around 140 million at current display. [b]Saitonia:[/b] We'll need some ranged attacks. Kav, let's go. *Suddenly, Van arrives.* [b]Vandren:[/b] Damnit, I'm late! I'll have to get used to this incarnation. [b]Kavita:[/b] This purple android might be too powerful for you, Tommy. I'd recommend you stay back. (Sai joins in on attacking [b]Dyszkor[/b].) [b]Vandren:[/b] Remember I said I get my training out on the battlefield? Looks like I'll master this incarnation while at it. *Van joins the attack, as Kav stands there for a few seconds before also joining.* *[b]Dyszkor[/b] barely flinches from all the attacks coming at him, except from one charged up claw attack from Sai that pushes him 8 feet. The android then fires a Dark Mode Blast, but it gets blocked by a barrier from the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, who have both regained their energy use after some time. The Dark Mode Blast is overpowering the barrier defense, so [b]Esadius[/b] and [b]Virol[/b] come from behind, and with [b]Virol[/b] starting the attack, he sends a dragon manifested from his energy at [b]Dyszkor[/b], as it does a good amount of damage. [b]Esadius[/b] deals some damage to himself to transform into his Dread Reaper incarnation, then charges up his scythe as gooey, black and purple energy emits from it. 3 seconds later, he unleashes a fusillade of spinning scythe attacks that deals even more damage to [b]Dyszkor[/b], about 7 spinning strikes, sending him flying and landing just several meters away, still in the field.* *As [b]Dyszkor[/b] makes his way up, he becomes surrounded by everyone. He looks at every one, then shifts into a pod, then takes off, retreating from the fight.* [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] __________________________________________ *Everyone shifts back to normal.* [b]Esadius:[/b] Running. Away. Again. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Leave him, [b]Esadius[/b]. Back to the bar. __________________________________________ (The group returns to the bar just several seconds later. They spot Alexa, just exiting, checking if it's safe to go out.) [b]Alexa:[/b] Are we good? I-I-Is that giant purple robot gone? [b]Kavita:[/b] It ran off, Lexi. We're good. [b]Alexa:[/b] *sighs of relief* [b]Kavita:[/b] The hell was that thing? [b]Esadius:[/b] His name is [b]Dyszkor[/b]. A damn nuisance; a thorn in my side. I've encountered him 3 previous times, twice on [b]Offtopica[/b], and the first time on here, before I took the trip....to [b]Offtopica[/b]. [b]Alexa:[/b] Wow. [b]Esadius:[/b] Setting a bounty wouldn't be a problem. Actually, we'll do it now. __________________________________________ (A little later, Sai is alone. He walks down an all-too familiar alleyway. He comes across a returning side character; that shady merchant: Robin, who quickly notices Sai.) [b]Robin:[/b] *eyes partially widen, though obscured by his mask* [b]Eraser[/b] Saitonia. Haven't seen you in a year. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Same. Wouldn't expect you to still be on [b]Terranoviatia[/b]. [b]Robin:[/b] I guess I....prefer it here. *[b]Xyinz[/b] walks in on them, Robin quickly turning towards him.* [b]Robin:[/b] Oh, [b]Xyinz[/b]. I have an enhanced tracker for you. No [b]zepiks[/b], totally free. [b]Xyinz:[/b] Obliged, Robin. *looking at Sai* It seems we're familiar with this mysterious merchant. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *fake chuckle* I'm free now. [b]Xyinz:[/b] *taking the tracker, then attaches it to his right forearm pad* Onto that [b]Cryocerus[/b] Slayer. [b]Robin:[/b] So, [b]Xyinz[/b], what's your business with Saitonia here? [b]Xyinz:[/b] *glaring at Robin for a couple seconds, then answers* I've seen what he becomes in the near future. Until then, I'd say I'm a supervisor for him. I'll see what he can accomplish until he becomes...a tyrannical ruler. Then, he'll be my next target for assassination. [b]Robin:[/b] Freelance Assassin...Anonymous one.... [b]Saitonia:[/b] I don't need to be observed. I already got the SIU with a file on me. Besides, you don't think I can counterattack you? [b]Xyinz:[/b] Save it for your imminent descent.
