Dragon's Roar ( Future Arc )

[GingerBread]

Jackie hums thoughtfully, drumming her fingers across smiling lips, "You say that you don't have the time to remember names, but you remember mine... interesting..." She holds his drink up, toasting him with a raised eyebrow, "And you should know that I like to make good on my promises. Since you're purposefully being a dick about this, no alcohol for you," Without breaking eye contact, she takes his drink and chugs the entire thing, then throws the glass in the sink, smirking triumphantly as she raises her drink to her lips and takes a sip.

"You know that's not fair. But, whatever. I'll just get my own drinks. I should get around to getting a mini fridge actually" Vance paused in thought for a moment before shrugging. "Anyway, I bother to 'remember' your name, for two reasons. One, I actually have some respect for you. And two, there's not really a lot I can find to mock you about" Vance dragged one of the bottles of vodka from behind Jackie into his darkness realm. "Apart from the voice you have inside of you, but I like to not have easy insults for people, unless they work well of course. And I'm just assuming you've already been called schizophrenic by a lot of people. And Bitch, just seems to easy. But rest assured, I will come up with a degrading name for you, just like I've done for Child killer and Doggy style" Vance took out the bottle of Vodka from his darkness realm and opening it. Vance smirked at Jackie before going to take a swig from the bottle.

She quirks a brow at him, though she seems a bit peeved at him taking the liquor anyway, she doesn't seem that angry. She crosses her arms, shifting her weight onto one leg. "I'm flattered that I've got the respect of one of the biggest douchebags I've ever met," Her tone doesn't have a lot of bite to it, making it more of a lightheated jab than an insult, "And if you've gotta go to the voice in my head for nicknames, then maybe your nicknames aren't actually that clever. Just a hunch."

"Hey, respect is a hard thing to earn. Especially from someone who absolutely hates people. You can take that anyway you want, but having my respect means that if you ever need help with something, you can give me a call and I'll come help. This doesn't mean I won't still try to kill you sometimes, but I might give you a bit more warning than I do to others" Vance shrugged and took another sip from the bottle.


"And I know my names aren't the most clever, but that's the beauty of them. People tend to be more offended if you insult them constantly with something that you know will hurt them. Like Child killer, he might've not shown it. But he was devastated when that child died. And I made him take all the blame for it, Hell I'm willing to bet quite a few guild members actually believe he has killed a child. So it may not affect him now, but it caught on. Soon a lot of people will end up thinking he actually did." Vance shrugged and added a back to the stool he was sitting on. "But honestly, that was never my attention. I just did it to annoy him. It worked well actually, But with what I said in mind. I might have to take a bit more time on Doggy style's name. I'll find some dirt on him, come up with a name he'll really hate."

She leans forwards on the counter to look at Vance closely, "Good to know. I'll be sure to take you up on both of those things; you look like you're quick on your feet in high stress, and I bet it'd be super satisfying to kick your ass," She frowns at the nickname 'Child Killer', but decides not to comment; would probably be a waste of her time, anyway. "Alpha's nickname is a bit uninspired, but I wouldn't hold my breath on finding out things about him; he's not big on sharing," Jackie gives him a meaningful look, half amused, "In more ways than one. Meaning that I wouldn't hold my breath on that threesome, either."

Isabel was at the border between the forest and the city. She had stopped by a store to buy a wing pack, food, hover board, two weapons, and clothes. She had Julius put them into his storage. She also had Julius grow large enough to fit her Primaburn in his mouth to send to storage. Isabel sets the wing pack on her back and feels it connect with her. She also keeps the fan blade folded up and in a sheath on her hip. She sets the crossbow brace on her left wrist and spreads her wings. It was shaky at first but she wasn't exactly knew to wings since naturally she could fly. Isabel flies above the trees, looking for something that catches her attention.

"Aww, but that was going to be the highlight of my day. Shame. But who said he had to share, You were there when we were looking for Layla. I'm great at deducing things, and stalking. Whether he wants to tell me or not isn't important, I'll find out one day. If I can be bothered, that is" Vance leaned back in his chair and took another swig from the bottle. "You say you want to kick my arse. why don't we spar? I'd like to see how well I'd fare against you, if Doggy Style didn't get involved. And if you want to, probably best to do it before I get drunk"

"I'm down, but no there'd have to be no magic or enhancements at all. If you use them, then I have to use my magic, and even a little bit Sanctum's power entering your system has the capacity to kill you either quickly, painfully, or both. So, no magic at all, just fists. Sound fair to you?"

 

[MTchaos1134]

Raz feeling like he can no longer keep it to himself,contacts Isabel through telepath and told her somthing that if widely known,would cause chaos on earth.

"Nah, that's less fun. I could go find random people if I just wanted to stroke my Ego like that." Vance leaned backwards, resting against the back rest he had created. "Do you seriously only have that voice in your head? Like what would happen if he left? Would your only power be being the girlfriend of Doggy style?"

 

[DizjayDeathPride]

"Inaro killed my sister!" Ash yells out loud, calming down afterwards. He continues to eat with more anger and wrath.
Luna knew she could hide, she disappears and appears outside the cabin with her umbrella over her head. She begins to swiftly walk away. "Yes I can!"

Cuuuutie!! Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!! CUUUUUUUUTIE!!!!!!!!

Colin smiled as Anna wrapped her arms around his neck, he was about to say something when he got a message through his guild symbol about a offer to go to a private beach. "D-did you hear that message A-Anna? D-do you want t-to go to a b-beach i-instead of a-a movie?" Colin smiled up at Anna "I-I don't mind wh-which we do, i-it's up to you"

Sure! That could fun! But... who's Jackie?

Dante laid in Raz's dimension going in and out of consciousness, finally he manged to stay awake the last time he came to. Still clutching his severed arm he reattached it and because of his regenerative ability it healed back and worked perfectly. However, he was still extremely exhausted from his battle, he thought he should rest for a little while. He used the telepathy granted to him by the guild symbol to contact Morpheus," Hey Morpheus I finished the mission, don't I get points or something now?" @DizjayDeathPride

Without an actual reply, Dante could feel himself rise 3 more ranks

"Do you seriously only have that voice in your head? Like what would happen if he left? Would your only power be being the girlfriend of Doggy style?"

"Oh, worried I'm going to hand your ass back to you?" She smirks, though it falls as he brings Sanctum up. Jackie seems considerably less amused by the turn in conversation, her lips pursing into a thin line. "It's weird; it's just him, but its also... Not just him. It's like a hive mind," She pauses a moment at his last comment, thinking over whether or not to say it, but decides she honestly doesn't care, "If Sanctum left, I would have to worry about being powerless, because I would be killed."

 

[GingerBread]

Sure! That could fun! But... who's Jackie?

Colin thought for a second as he tried to remember if he'd met Jackie or not. "I-I don't know, B-But she must b-be part of the g-guild" He smiled up at Anna "A-and she m-must be nice i-if she's i-inviting us to h-her private beach"

"Oh, worried I'm going to hand your ass back to you?" She smirks, though it falls as he brings Sanctum up.

"If he leaves, you die? So he's your life support?" Vance smirked slightly before shrugging. "Right then Life Support, we'll do it your way. But I say we use weapons" Vance unsheathed two daggers and put them on the bar counter. "We can either go until the other person gives up, or we can keep fighting until the other person is disarmed or drops their weapon. It's no fun if no blood is split, Life Support"

 

[DizjayDeathPride]

Gazelle hugged him. "Hey baby I missed you. And so yeah it was painful but I'm good now." She kissed his cheek. "What's new with you?"
Theadore looked at him and smile. "Yup. It's fun but my brain feels like it's about to explode. So training sounds fun."

Decimus wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled. Nothing major really. Everything seems to have calmed down and gone to times of peace


So tell me... what can you do already?

She rolls her eyes at 'Life Support', a smirk on her face. "Deal, just don't bitch when I kick your ass," She eyes the daggers, then looks back to Vance, then takes one and gestures her head towards the beach. "Let's go."

"That's cute Life Support, you think you're capable of beating me" Vance took the other dagger and stood up walking towards a large empty space of the beach. "You know, I think the worst thing that's going to happen to me is getting sand on me" Vance twirled his dagger around his fingers while he waited for Jackie.

 

[Skaggon]

Decimus wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled. Nothing major really. Everything seems to have calmed down and gone to times of peace
So tell me... what can you do already?

Gazelle laughed. "Yeah its pretty nice. The elements are getting a little bored and antsy so they like to go make there own fun. Well exempt for light dark and me. We're calm. Oh also I need to talk to Ryan sense he's the new light embodiment."


Theodore told him all the power he gathered. "I still have room for more as well."

 

[Loony_Bin]

Fola stood there for a few moments, hands clasped around the tiara and another hand on his lips, touching them as if he was desperatly attempting to keep the feeling of Isabel's lips. So many emotions ran through him, joy, rage, peace and self-loathing being the biggest four. He wanted to chase down that Primaburn, yet he also felt like just lying in bed. He didn't feel complete, he felt as if someone had just ripped a giant hole through him, and he wanted to fill it...He just wasn't sure how.


The only thing that kept him from going over the edge was the promise she'd made, the promise to return. He wasn't sure when that would be, or what kind of person he would be, but he would wait...She would have done the same for him. Until then, he needed to just get away, get a drink maybe. He'd heard something about a beach day, and while he didn't plan to get drunk, he'd been thinking to much...He just needed some help in the form of a shot glass of rum.


He went back inside, heading to the room and gently placing Isabel's crown on a nightstand...So much for by her side foreve- No. He didn't need to think about it. It was a see you later, not a goodbye, it would have to last. He pulled out a swimsuit from the small pile of clothes Carnage had made for him. It worked...He guessed. He changed and stood in front of the mirror, wincing as he realized the drying blood that covered his face and hands...It didn't look good. He ignored that part for now, examaning the swimwear to see how well it fitted him...

(Like these, but with normal baggy trunks)


He shook his head, it would have to do for now... Taking in another breath, his fingers figgited as they neared his guild symbol...They hadn't seen him since reality was almost destroyed...What would they think of him? He exhaled, hoping it wasn't anything to bad, as he teleported for the first time in what felt like years...


When he opened his eyes, Fola was greeted by coarse sand and water. Though a few feet away there was definite sounds of talk. Nearing the group, he saw two semi-familiar people and Vance. He began to play with the drawstrings on his trunks as he neared closer, unsure of how to greet everybody. He settled for something lame, "Hey there... I'm alive and here, just wanted to let you know...Please tell me you have more drinks back there!"

[rennuelaw]

Sage out of boredom teleported to the beach. He noticed Fola , Jackie and Vance some walked over. " Hi guys. " He said , he was already in his swimming trunks and was eager to swim.

Annalyse stopped a moment and tapped her lip, still wrapped around his neck. Hmm.... Okay Colin she kissed his cheek and spoke in a low, gentle voice, Only if that's what you're reeeeally want, sweetie. She noticed he always blushed most when she closed her eyes and smiled widely; so she did, looking at him innocently soon after

Gazelle laughed. "Yeah its pretty nice. The elements are getting a little bored and antsy so they like to go make there own fun. Well exempt for light dark and me. We're calm. Oh also I need to talk to Ryan sense he's the new light embodiment."
Theodore told him all the power he gathered. "I still have room for more as well."

Oh? You convene with Light and Dark too. I wonder what else.


So Ryan became Light. Morpheus won't ever let me hear the end if he finds out and Im not Darkness. Please, tell me how he did it so I may. As for his whereabouts? Im actually unsure





Morpheus nodded and paced. It's not... i don't know the powers seem.... I can't describe it. He can't copy us it seems but he can copy others.... is it our Nephalem power? That doesn't make sense. The pot is so... mixed. What is the divisor?


He stared at Theodore for a moment before it hit him: Ryan's eyes!





He blinked and activated the Witch Eyes, seeing Theodore's power source. More sharp and jagged. Not... smooth and goopy as most of the others. Ahhh.. so that's what raw energy within a person looks like. I have... something else. So he runs off of energy.... that might be why he can't copy me. Fascinating.


Alright. I can't personally fill your vacancies. But i can help fine tune youre current bang. En guard!


Psssst... Reeeeeed... Buddyyyyy Morpheus voice echoed through the plane of nonexistence. Hooooooows it going?

Gazelle gaze softened. "Well the light embodiment died and it past onto the next worthy host. So you'll have to wait until the host dies, or challenge them, or convince them to surrender it but the current darkness would never. It's a trend for the dark users. But if you want to challenge her be extremely careful. She was next in line for a reason and when challenging her you can only use the elements power. So you would only be able to use darkness just as she would. But trust me. If you don't have something special you will lose. When she challenged the previous embodiment owner she made them kill themselves. Slowly."


Theodore hopped up. "Ok sounds fun. Also I like trains." A massive train was materialized in front of Morphues at full speed.


Reed opened his eyes. "Hey Morpheus. I'm just chilling. Forever. Where I belong. All aline."

 

[The Elder]

Chasing ghost huh?? He gets up and walks towards the door. He opens the door and leans against it. Come on then let's go find you sister. This is Zane's way of asking if he can join in the search. Hopefully Ash will let him. @Light

 

[Light]

Raz feeling like he can no longer keep it to himself,contacts Isabel through telepath and told her somthing that if widely known,would cause chaos on earth.

Isabel learned about the information and raises an eyebrow. She didn't know Raz and didn't trust him at all. She found the news alarming but refused to believe it. "Julius cut off all chances of connecting with me mentally."


"Done. Watch out."





Isabel was confused as to watch she was supposed to watch out for, that was until a beam shot her out of the sky. She lands roughly on her right side, luckily with only minor injuries. "What was that?!" Isabel looks around, unable to hear the advancing footsteps due to the explosion of the beam still ringing in her ears. She was suddenly picked up and tossed into a tree. Her back had hit it, damaging the wing pack again instead of her. She slowly picks herself up and shrugs the broken 1,200 eon wing pack off of her shoulders with inner pain due to the waste of eons.

Only to be stopped mid dive by it's right kick, sending her a few feet back into another tree. Isabel gasps in pain as she slams into it with a thud. She begins to cough, holding her stomach due to the kick. The figure begins to walk over to her, fists ready. Isabel raises her left hand and fires the trident arrow, disbelief growing on her face as it only dents the beings forehead and hits the floor. Isabel searches for another arrow but realizes that she only has one. Isabel curses herself for forgetting to buy more.

"Okay....Isabel think." Isabel backs away from the being as it approaches her, pulling out her fanblade. "Why are you attacking me?!" Isabel didn't know how to use the fanblade at all, she was simply using bit as a bluff. The being continues to charge at her, actually landing a punch in the stomach. Isabel yelps in pain this time since she was kicked in the stomach before. The being completely backhands Isabel away from him, allowing her to crash into the dirt. A bruise was starting to form on her stomach. Isabel notices the being already slamming its fist down towards her so she pulls out her fanblade to deflect the attack. Isabel doesn't cut its fist but does push it back. She stumbles over to the discarded arrow before and picks it up, setting it back in place. "Look! I'm serious, I don't want to fight." The being seems to ignore this as well, running towards her this time. Isabel begins to actually run away from the being, throwing her fanblade at it. Surprisingly it unfolds midair and clashes with it, each individual blade sliding by and slicing on it before returning to Isabella's hand like a boomerang. Once it does each blade folds into the other with a knife sharpening sound until the very last blade slides into the knife, making the fan part of the fanblade disappear.

The being had stopped running, charging up an attack beam in it's chest. It seemed like charging up the beam put a lot of stress on its metallic body. Isabel notices this while she was painfully holding her stomach. "Wait! Stop, I don't want to fight you. That's too tasking on your body, your going to harm yourself just to take me out? I don't even know why you're attacking me." The being continues to charge up its beam, more stress on its body was visible. Isabel could only watch in fear as the same beam that hit her wing pack earlier flies out of its chest and passes through her own. 'I can't believe it....so this is what it feels like to have your chest blown open. It feels like there's no pain. Wait....there's no pain.' Isabel checks her chest, noticing the fact that there was no wound. The beam had phased through her body once it directly hit her this time. The being notices this and the once yellow light in it's eyes and chest turn blue. It kneels to her and finally decides on speaking. "I apologise for not recognizing you sooner, Isabel. I'd like for you to follow me." The being rises and turns around, a portal appearing behind it as it steps in. Isabel didn't know what was going on but the fact that it knew her name bothered her. She didn't want to follow at all because of it so she didn't. Instead she turns around and walks away, only for the portal to disappear and appear underneath her, closing up once it swallows Isabel. She ends up standing next to the being in a temple, right before a door with a large owl for a guardian. "What's going on? Why are we doing this?" Isabel wasn't okay with this at all. "Can I go? I just asked to stop fighting, I never asked to be pulled into some....temple."


The being shakes his head. "The sooner you answer these questions the sooner you may leave. This is a test."


Isabel looks at the being, giving him a confused stare. "A test? Wasn't me fighting you already a test enough? I don't know how I passed since I lost."


"That wasn't a test....nearly a recommendation for one. You don't know but you've passed with flying colors."


.


Isabel was still extremely confused, she hasn't won a single fight since she's arrived but turns out that being the loser pays off. "You're talking now."


The guardian owl speaks up. "That is unimportant. Why do you hate fate?"


Isabel would have started off with an, out of all the questions, remark. Though she decides she should at least try. "I hate fate because it refuses to accept me. It chooses to reject me and curses me to live nothing but the life or the damned even though I exist outside of it. I can't enjoy life....I can't interact with others without them suffering. It's the reason why my life is a living hell." The owl has it's head turn all the way on its shoulders. "Why do to wish to continue through this temple?"


Isabel found this odd since she never asked to be here anyways. "I never asked to come but since you both insist I know I must continue. I want to continue because I want to leave and find out this temples importance and my ties to it while I do so."


The owl spins its head again. "How do you feel about making up with the embodiment of what you hate so much?"


Isabel blinks twice. "Making up with fate?" Isabel had thought about all the wrong fate has done to her. That's when she also though about Fola. "Yes I'd like that. I was given forgiveness....a chance to explain myself. I'd like go have this moment with fate."


The owls head spins. "Are you ready to unleash it upon the world? What will you do with fate? What is your true purpose in the world? Are you prepared to face your glorious partner?"


Isabel had to keep up with those questions. She had to ask the owl to repeat them at one point. "Yes. What I'll do with fate depends on what fate and I both agree on, nothing bad though hopefully. So what I want to do with it is to make up and bond. My purpose in the world? I don't know but now that I've been dragged here I intend to find out. This is what I want to do so I can take a step forward into my purpose. So for now my purpose is to find my purpose...Also to love Fola." Isabel takes a deep breath, her stomach still hurt and so did her head from all these questions but it was now or never. "Yes."


The owl spins its head again and the door behind it opens, revealing a portal. The being lightly pushes Isabel into it and follows her. "What's up with you and pushing me?!" Isabel notices that they're in a room with a lone blade floating in front of them. "Oh...." Isabel slowly approaches the blade, reaching out for it. She turns around and looks at the being. "What is this?"


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_02/03b9f47fbef2e88d4e216f5f6b15ccb7.jpg.1b2398aee41f6fa48b485ace94221c34.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="108738" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_02/03b9f47fbef2e88d4e216f5f6b15ccb7.jpg.1b2398aee41f6fa48b485ace94221c34.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


"That is the blade of fate, time, and space. What they do? Nearly nothing for now until you collect other pieces. So all it can do for now is collect space energy and time energy, which it has been doing for millennia. It can also either be a sword or a chainsaw, with the chains of fate. Isn't its uselessness fun? The meter to the side is the meter of space, and the two clocks are time. Also timers....The timers are more like limits then benefits."


Isabel gives the sword an odd look. "If this is fate itself, why is it a blade and why is it...I don't know...tied to space and time? Why me?" Isabel didn't like this at all, she didn't want to touch the blade.


The being shakes it's head and encourages her to touch the blade. "All of those questions will be answered over time. I must travel with you since you cannot defend yourself and you need guidance to make the other pieces appear to you." He lightly pushes Isabel into the blade, which makes her grab it and accidentally absorb it, evolving with it. "What did you just do?"


"Um....you pushed me and I wasn't prepared and my body naturally absorbed it and I evolved. Guess who's the blade of fate, time, and space......hehe...." Isabel was nervously waiting to get punched in the face. "D-dont worry! When I sleep I can learn how to summon it!" Isabel begins to back up from the being as a flash of light erupts all around them.


The being wasn't very angry. "Fine....as long as you can make it appear again. Now..." They were back in the forest. "I will teach you how to fight in various forms." Without warning the being rushes towards her. <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_02/cdce45ef43716d3ad30c74911efe95b1.jpg.060b31adc8532a770bbf2bca966cc2ed.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="108693" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_02/cdce45ef43716d3ad30c74911efe95b1.jpg.060b31adc8532a770bbf2bca966cc2ed.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

"You actually want to help me?" Ash stood up, grinning. "Well she's at Dragon's Roar."

Cuuuutie!! Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!! CUUUUUUUUTIE!!!!!!!!

Luna begins to walk faster. "No!"

 

[The Elder]

Of I'll help. I ain't got shit else to do. He went into his pocket pulling out his transforming motorcycle. He was about to toss it but stopped as soon as he heard the words coming out Ash's mouth. He looks at him. Dragon Roar? What's your sister's name? He seemed so intrigued. He had to know. Things are getting really interesting really fast. @Light

"That's cute Life Support, you think you're capable of beating me" Vance took the other dagger and stood up walking towards a large empty space of the beach. "You know, I think the worst thing that's going to happen to me is getting sand on me" Vance twirled his dagger around his fingers while he waited for Jackie.

Fola stood there for a few moments, hands clasped around the tiara and another hand on his lips, touching them as if he was desperatly attempting to keep the feeling of Isabel's lips. So many emotions ran through him, joy, rage, peace and self-loathing being the biggest four. He wanted to chase down that Primaburn, yet he also felt like just lying in bed. He didn't feel complete, he felt as if someone had just ripped a giant hole through him, and he wanted to fill it...He just wasn't sure how.
The only thing that kept him from going over the edge was the promise she'd made, the promise to return. He wasn't sure when that would be, or what kind of person he would be, but he would wait...She would have done the same for him. Until then, he needed to just get away, get a drink maybe. He'd heard something about a beach day, and while he didn't plan to get drunk, he'd been thinking to much...He just needed some help in the form of a shot glass of rum.


He went back inside, heading to the room and gently placing Isabel's crown on a nightstand...So much for by her side foreve- No. He didn't need to think about it. It was a see you later, not a goodbye, it would have to last. He pulled out a swimsuit from the small pile of clothes Carnage had made for him. It worked...He guessed. He changed and stood in front of the mirror, wincing as he realized the drying blood that covered his face and hands...It didn't look good. He ignored that part for now, examaning the swimwear to see how well it fitted him...

(Like these, but with normal baggy trunks)


He shook his head, it would have to do for now... Taking in another breath, his fingers figgited as they neared his guild symbol...They hadn't seen him since reality was almost destroyed...What would they think of him? He exhaled, hoping it wasn't anything to bad, as he teleported for the first time in what felt like years...


When he opened his eyes, Fola was greeted by coarse sand and water. Though a few feet away there was definite sounds of talk. Nearing the group, he saw two semi-familiar people and Vance. He began to play with the drawstrings on his trunks as he neared closer, unsure of how to greet everybody. He settled for something lame, "Hey there... I'm alive and here, just wanted to let you know...Please tell me you have more drinks back there!"





@CelticSol @Daimao @GingerBread

Jackie takss one look at Fola, from the blood on his skin to his almost heartbroken expression, before she reaches down under the bar and grabs an entire bottle of tequila. She sets in front of him with a sympathetic smile. "Glad you could make it," She says sincerely, then heads towards Vance for the sparring match, but pauses a brief moment, before she goes to Fola and puts her index finger up his jaw and lightly pushes it up, "Chin up, dude - whatever it is, it'll work out."


With that, she heads over to where Vance is waiting for her. By the expectant look in his eye, he wants her to go first. She grins at him, spinning the dagger in her hand, "Your trash talk is almost as bad as your nicknames," She lunges then, quickly, and and goes to slash along his bicep.
