Battle of the Dying Sun (Me vs. Kenji...if you will.)

OoC- Keiji, I've read some of your battles, and I wish to challenge my skills against an advanced.

Okay, this battle takes place on a sun that is thousands of years old, and is covered in blackened, molten plates. A highly futuristic civilization built a city around this sun, in a ring-like shape. They used this Sun's energy directly to power their civilization, and eventually, the sun's energy was pumped until the solar level reached an extremely low level, leaving it a mere volcanic heat. The civilization had also built a large glass-like structure around the sun and their city, keeping it safe from intruders. There are only a few entrances, and the extremlely tough translucent substance is nearly unbreakable. My character, Max, arrived here using his dimension traveling dragon, Astralis, which can create magical barriers at will, protecting him from the suction and deadly force of space.

BiC- Astralis released a deep draconic growl from the depths of it's throat, and the mystical barrier around it shimmered in the blackness of space. Max stretched, wondering if they would find something interesting. Astralis, also known as Astral Bahamut, had recently acquired the ability to traverse worlds, since it had drank that odd potion in Nexus. I remember it like it was yesterday... Max thought, staring at the small white sparkles that were stars.

Me and Kihari, we hunted for that stream that changed bahamut into a skeletal form...and we fought that horrible wolf-like creature..that lurked in the depths of--

"Max." Astralis said, waking the vampire from his daze. "I've found something...it looks as if a sun has nearly burned out...seems as if it is near supernova stage...approximately 24 hours from complete destruction. Any nearby bio-spheres will most likely be terminated, but not the entire galaxy, seeing as this sun is so weak looking.."

Max cackled at this. "Dude, ever since I gave you those books about space travel, you sound like a robot." Astralis shook his head. Max couldn't see it, but he was smiling.

"Just because I want to sound professional..."Astralis retorted. Max stood up to give him a noogie, then stopped.

A sun that is near supernova... He noticed that the sun was surrounded by a gigantic glass-like sphere, and inside that, a metallic ring was around the heavenly body, and small windows dotted the ring.

"I have a feeling that's a city." Max thought out loud.

Astralis nodded. "But the windows are all out...that can't be a coincidence...It must be abandoned." They landed on top of the glassy, spherical surface that separated them from the area of interest. Astralis's suction cups on its feet held it to the slippery footing, and they debated.

"Do you want to check it out? I told you it's soon to reach supernova stage, and then...boom."

Max grinned. "I love danger...besides, if we pass this up, and it explodes, we'll always wonder about it. Besides, you said 24 hours, didn't you?"

"Yes. Yes I did." So Max and Astralis looked for an entrance, and eventually they came to an almost liquefied part of the sphere, and Astralis attempted to burn it, but discovered that they could pass right though this area, as if it were liquid. They soared down, near the sun, the protective barrier still protecting them from the heat, which was only slightly above 200 degrees. They landed on one of the many large, black, molten plates that slowly slid across the surface of this dying solar phenomenon. Max took a packet from the inside of his coat pocket, and ripped it open, devouring it's contents. Instantly his flesh became used to the heat.

That Zolf guy I met wasn't kidding... He thought, walking around, his clothing burning away except for a pair of unbelievably durable, fire-proof leather pants. he walked, barefooted, on the surface of the barren sun, thinking about checking the Ring -shaped city, and if anyone there was still alive. Suddenly he heard a loud strange noise unlike he had ever heard. He turned to face whoever it was, his phantom blade Jenorath appearing in his hands.

"Who's there?"

A glowing cylinder of light, no doubt a mystical teleporter came down from above, and stopped just a few feet in front of Max, and the silhouette of a warrior fell through, And Max looked at the figure, ready to fight.

BiC: Sounds like fun, bro! Sorry, this post is gonna suck big time.

OOC: Tokumaru glanced at the strange orb in front of him. The detail was impeccable, and the penmanship of the confusing Elven text was clearly writing by hands belonging to a great scholar. This seemingly harmless orb was said to posses mythic qualities, and Tokumaru had snuck out of his Dome room, just like he did when he took shinobi arts back in Nakashimi, and found the orb laying peacefully on the mantle within the main lounge of the Dome.

“Ah,” said Tokumaru with wonder, touching the crystalline surface with the utmost care, “such a beautiful substance!” The samurai was clueless to what marvel existed within this dome but suddenly, an immense heat began to radiate from the orb’s shining surface.

“Wh, what is this?!?” Yelled Tokumaru with fright, just as the orb let out a plume of flame, consuming him entirely. The intense heat was nearly as hot as when the samurai would activate the Mare-Ignis, or Sea of Fire, allowing the flames of his sword, the Hinotama, to consume his body. His vision was drowned out by a sea of flames, and his last sight was the silk curtains on the wall beside him bursting into flames.

***

The heat was intense beyond rational belief, and a bright light stood tall all around him. He could make out the vague silhouettes of two figures: One, a large, Dragonic figure, and the other, a sleek warrior, holing a sword within his palm. Suddenly, Tokumaru felt pressure beneath his feet; he had landed somewhere. No sooner had this happened, that the two figures turned to face him, and the light diminished.

“Who are you?!?” Yelled the warrior with the sword. “And what have you come here for?”

Tokumaru looked at the man with confusion, and took two steps forward --- sealing his fate…

OOC: Sorry, its 1:00 am over here in Texas, and I am BEAT! My other posts should be longer and much better.

OoC- No big deal, man. No big hurry, ya know....but I need a link to your char, that's why THIS post sucks.

BiC- Maximilian recognized this man to be a samurai, and strangely, a voice that was not his own told him to destroy this figure. His eyes clouded over, and his ring glowed with a flame the color of bright flames.

"Kill the fiend..." Maximilian whispered, the voice coming at him from all directions, into his mind, and projecting through his mouth. Astralis stood on two legs, and slowly approached Tokumaru. Maximilian held a hand back, and Astralis ceased his movement.

The penetrating voice continued to repeat within Max's mind:
Kill the fiend.
Kill the fiend.
Kill the fiend.

Several bolts of blue light shot from six points on the metallic ring surrounding this dead sun, one of them shining on Max. His body glowed with a blue aura, and began hovering off of the ground, smiling in a way that seemed totally unlike the vampire. The blue aura around his body seemed to stretch into the faces of tormented souls which reached out towards Tokumaru, as if attempting to scream.

Dude, Keiji, now that you're back, let's continue this.

Right. Lemme get to writing it. I'll posty it when i wake up tomorrow.

I say we forget this battle, and start a new one. this one's old, and i'll fight you after I finish the battles I'm currently in. you game?
