(Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b] have decided to investigate the person...or thing responsible for the murder of a skier in the [b]Cryocerus[/b] region, then 2 hunters in 2 different forests. By the time the 2 have gotten to the 2nd forest, called [b]Techiya[/b] Stormforest, they spotted a squad of hunters coming to the aid of another hunter, only for it to be too late, as the thing responsible has already killed them. Seeing the thing responsible in clear view, the squad of hunters try to take it down, only to be slaughtered within 25 seconds. Leaving only Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b] left, they step up and fight this creature, but Sai notices a nameplate on the creature, reading "Experiment #160".) [b]Saitonia:[/b] I recognize those tags. It's one of Watcher 11's experiments. *Sai gets a quick flashback on being taken onto Watcher 11's ship. Being held in a small room, he looks up at a red-tinted glass panel cage, he notices a lifeless person, with sickly, gray skin. Next to the person, is an [b]ursido[/b] ([b]Terranovian[/b] bear), a big one, about 9 feet tall if stood up. Sai stops the flashback and returns to current time.* [b]Xyinz:[/b] Watcher 11? Those are one of those [b]watchers[/b] that piloted that ship? Forgot what it was called. Planned to assassinate one of the former pilots, but I just called it off. *The 2 stare down Experiment #160. It tilts it's head, wondering why the 2 aren't attacking first, so it makes the first move itself and lunges at them.* __________________________________________ [b][u]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/u][/b] __________________________________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *The experiment launches down a dual machete slash, which unleashes a small explosion, but the 2 evade the attack. [b]Xyinz[/b] reappears from a blurry black trail behind the experiment, and fires a shroud of hollow, black mist at them, dealing some damage. Sai manifests a dragon made from his energy in his left hand and fires it at the experiment, who places an orange barrier to guard themselves, but the energy dragon breaks through, forcing the experiment to reposition by leaping up a performing spinning machete swings.* *[b]Xyinz[/b] comes in and delivers several side kicks to the experiment, -blam!- with a machete slash that [b]Xyinz[/b] evades by teleporting in a black mist, reappearing from behind and fires rounds from his wrist gauntlet while landing in front of the experiment. Sai reappears under the experiment and launches energy spider legs from his back, impaling the experiment in their stomach. They retort by spewing black fluid from it's mask, making the 2 jump back, then swings their machetes 4 times, as 4 explosions come right after, causing the 2 to dodge as the explosion sends trees and rocks flying. The experiment fires the same black fluid right towards Sai. As he summons a barrier, the fluid hits and melts right through Sai's barrier.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Acidic? Tch. *[b]Xyinz[/b] emerges from behind the experiment, summoning a hidden silver blade from the wrist gauntlet and stabbing them in the back, then takes the blade out and gets in a few strikes before the experiment turns around, causing the 2 to clash, though it's very brief as Sai swoops in with a powerful energy blast right down on the experiment. The blast did some damage, but overall wasn't that effective. Sai summons his [b]Erazerframe[/b] the second before the experiment performs a dual slash right down on him, quickly blocking it before his guard is broken. The experiment then goes for some more attacks, but Sai rolls under them, firing a few ineffective energy blasts before slashing them in the back, while [b]Xyinz[/b] approaches from the front and gets a few more attacks in.* *The experiment fires black fluid from it's mask again, this time, over [b]Xyinz[/b]. As he dodges to the right, he gets caught by the experiment, getting hit with an elbow to the chest, then brought down by a haymaker, then a quick machete slash in which an explosion follows, sending [b]Xyinz[/b] into a tree, causing it to collapse. He suddenly gets back up and pursues the experiment, who's targeting Sai this time. Sai dives in, ready to stab the experiment right through it's heart, but is stopped by an orange barrier put up at last minute, which makes Sai do a front flip to keep his momentum just before teleporting above and raining down an energy dragon. The attack seemed to have came to a struggle with the experiment tanking the attack, so Sai buffs up the strength of the energy dragon as it deals much more damage this time, taking the experiment off it's feet.* *[b]Xyinz[/b] emerges from a black mist under the downed experiment and impales them in the heart. He then activates the gun inside his wrist gauntlet and fires. While it's doing a bit more damage, the experiment resist the fire and slowly rises. As it's about to grab [b]Xyinz[/b], he vanishes, leaving Sai to manifest 2 energy dragons, lunging behind them and driving the 2 energy dragons right through, resulting in tremendous damage.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] *to himself* Those dragons really give us [b]Arckyvines[/b] some unique power. *spots [b]Xyinz[/b] a few meters ahead, who's looking at the experiment * [b]Xyinz[/b], that thing is resistant to certain projectiles. [b]Xyinz:[/b] I can see that. My blade seems to be much more effective than my gun. But aren't those dragons you're firing projectiles? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Technically. Guessing it's resistant to standard energy blasts and bullets. *The 2 hear a ship far off in the distance.* [b]Xyinz:[/b] Guessing they saw that flare. We can't give this thing the time to run. *The 2 continue their attack on the experiment to buy time for this ship to arrive. The experiment spins while spewing black, acidic fluid, making the 2 teleport out from the fluid's reach. [b]Xyinz[/b] reappears under the experiment and sweep kicks it's right leg, causing them to kneel. Sai then comes from behind and drives his [b]Erazerframe[/b] through their back, then jumps away as the experiment roars in pain. [b]Xyinz[/b] then shoots a fusillade of black knives from under the blade, all hitting the experiments chest. He then shifts into a black mist trail, moves in closer on the experiment, and reappears, thrusting his blade into it's heart once again.* *The experiment can't take the attacks, so it tries to retreat, leaving behind a trail of sickly, dark green-tinted bl[b]00[/b]d. They aren't able to run away a few meters, as Sai teleports in front of them, delivering a powerful [b]Erazerframe[/b] slash, sword emitting purple energy. [b]Xyinz[/b] fires knives at the experiment's arms to weaken them, while Sai slashes their legs. Luckily just in time, as a nobleman hunter ship lands. The ship then opens, revealing a crew of random noblemen hunters, surrounding the experiment.* [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] __________________________________________ *1 nobleman hunter latches a long, black and yellow anchor onto the experiment's right shoulder, and spins around, chaining them up. Another nobleman hunter places a helmet on their head so their black fluid doesn't touch anyone, while a golden energy dome is placed around the area. Another random nobleman hunter walks up to Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b].* [b]Nobleman Hunter:[/b] I'd like to congratulate you 2 for neutralizing the [b]Cryocerus[/b] Slayer. Tragic for the hunters who ended up as it's victims. *Sai nods. The 2 then watch the experiment get dragged into the ship as they make low, painful growls.* [b]Xyinz:[/b] Sure you don't want me to assassinate the experiment? [b]Nobleman Hunter:[/b] No. We might send it off to the SIU for research on whatever or whoever this thing is really supposed to be. [b]Xyinz:[/b] Oh..kaay... __________________________________________ (Nearly an hour later, at the group mansion with the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, [b]Sakiro[/b], [b]Esadius[/b], Alexa, and [b]Aguiro[/b]. Kav checks a mailbox etched to the outside to see a stack of [b]zepiks[/b]. She brings it inside and shows it to everyone.) [b]Sage:[/b] Stimulation [b]zepiks[/b], right? [b]Esadius:[/b] Yep. This economy better start thriving now we got someone on the throne. [b]Alexa:[/b] *looking at the [b]zepiks[/b] with attentiveness* Glowing blue chip things as your currency? That's....so sweet. [b]Aguiro:[/b] [b]Saitranovia[/b]'s is blue, [b]Casavatia[/b]'s is white, [b]Spektrovatia[/b]'s is purple by the way, Alexa. [b]Esadius:[/b] No need to be so smart[b]a[/b]ss on her, [b]Aguiro[/b]. [b]Aguiro:[/b] Just giving her some facts, man. [b]Kavita:[/b] *scanning the [b]zepiks[/b] with her cator* How much is this? *a number pops up on her cator, revealing 15,000 [b]zepiks[/b]* 15,000?! We can get a lot with that. [b]Esadius:[/b] Could use some for my temperature generator at home. Costs like 1,500 to get it fixed. [b]Cathera:[/b] Alexa, you're an earthling, you're new to this culture of superbeings. I think you should have some [b]zepiks[/b], maybe as a souvenir. [b]Alexa:[/b] Wooow, thanks. I don't care how much you give me. [b]Kavita:[/b] *giving Alexa some [b]zepiks[/b]* That's about 8,000. It'd be preferable if you hid it somewhere in here. We got some rooms upstairs. [b]Alexa:[/b] I'll check it out up there. [b]Saffyre:[/b] *noticing that [b]Sakiro[/b] is sitting by the windows, close to the pool* Hey [b]Sakiro[/b], you're really distant, what's gotten to you? [b]Sakiro:[/b] *getting up from the stool and walking towards the group* Weird for you to mention it. Thought you'd be used to it. [b]Saffyre:[/b] Yeahhh, but you're like...a statue this time. [b]Esadius:[/b] Since the pink-haired sissy isn't here, I'll take his place. She's probably thinking of [b]Shiani[/b], picturing a scenario where they're having a romantic conversation with no one else around but there. [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
