Re: Meetings of Chance (Nikuvillain)
It wasn't too long before the bounty hunter woke up and sat up, rubbing his head. That hurt like hell. The mercenary began to walk forwards. Where? He didn't have the faintest idea where he was going, much less if he'd find the person he was looking for. Still, something told the modern fencer he'd find his target in the end. After all, word travels fast of a red haired boy with the power to generate ice. However, the enhanced human didn't find any trace of ice. Merely, he found himself walking through a forest of dead palm trees.
As the crunch of dead leaves filled the air, the dark clad man continued to walk on through the empty wasteland. Still, something, anything, that would be a clue would be helpful here. Suddenly, the dark man bumped into someone else. Monroe stepped back and looked at the red haired woman as he stepped back. He wasn't quite sure who she was, but didn't make any mention of talking to her aside from a simple, "Sorry." With that mutter, he would have simply continued on had he not heard something that peaked his interest.
"Darn the church making me hunt down this "Avenger" person," she muttered as she moved along.
"Hey, you!" Monroe yelled over to her, turning and looking at her. "What'd you just say? You're looking for the Avenger too?" he asked her, hiding his hands in the pockets of his trench coat.
"Yes, I am. The church has ordered I destroy him. What business is it of yours?!" she asked, shifting her feet and looking ready to fight.
"Well," he stated, flipping the handle of his photon sword out of his jacket and turning on the blade and pointing it at the girl, "for one, I'm searching for him, but not to kill him. Secondly, I've got no interest in letting anyone else claim him. I'm defeating him, and I'm claiming his bounty, and lastly, I'm catching the more important person that he's associated with. I'm not about to let some newcomer get in my way!"
Monroe's body vanished and he reappeared behind the priestess, swinging his photon blade towards her. The woman noticed him as he came. Quickly, chains of energy materialized in her hands and blocked the sword, almost like a blade itself. The two pushed and leapt backwards. "So, you've got a strange power, do you. This'll be fun," the modern fencer stated as he smiled. He needed a good warm up anyway.
o=)---------Where Zach Is---------(=o
“Attacking me was not a good idea boy,” a voice replied as a man holding a metal stick walked into the cavern and faced the ice innate. The person wasn't very threatening looking, despite the silver colored stick, but did seem rather brave to enter this cavern, mostly with an Ice Elemental inside of it. Zachary unsheathed his sword slightly and used his powers to begin to draw in water vapor and freeze it. Slowly, the ice began to harden into a sword with a blade about two and a half feet long with an eight inch hilt.
Zachary swung the sword as he sheathed Mobius and smiled. "Interesting weapon, but I can make weapons too," Zachary stated as he held his left hand out and began to create ice needles in the air. "I can make all kinds of ice." With a flick of his left wrist, the ice mage sent the daggers flying towards the Awaken, who quickly spun his staff around and destroyed them. "But this sword is special. It's made of ice that's condensed to the point of being hard as steel. Think you can handle it?" the Elemental asked as he swung his left hand again and threw several more needles.
The staff spun again and destroyed the needles fairly effortlessly as Zachary rushed forwards, slashing his sword forwards, only to have it meet with Kaien's staff. "Not bad, guy," the ice mage responded as he began to gather ice around his hand and form gauntlets around his hands. "Take this!" the firebrand yelled as he thrust his fist towards Kaien's face.
