Fantasy X-Clan Reborn

[Lord Anubis]

She felt cold behind her and dropped to the floor, doing the splits, then rolling out of the way. Giving up on Pearl's power, she uses Seth's ice again (beings that she already knows how to use it) and shoots ice shards at the last position Kain was at.
@Lord Anubis

Kain quickly dodged Nox's Ice shards. He held his sword steady retreating to the thicker parts of the black fog. Kain once again opened up another small wound blood dripped sown in front of him. Kain then extended his bat like wings taking flight, and quickly flew around nox dropping small pools of blood in a circle around her. After he was done he hovered above her a small distance away. Everything was set Kain grinned a little, before he flew straight at her. Just before reaching her in a split second his wings folded back into his back, and he brought down his sword vertically down her back.

Nat's eyes squinted, glaring at the young man's face: it was clearer now, losing its previous blur. He appeared around her age and was rather attractive, with vibrant green eyes and neat, wavy hair. If he was confident enough to extinguish his disguise, she contemplated taking off her mask or not. She didn't want to risk anything though.


"Nice to meet you too, John." She said with a smile. The young woman placed her hands on her hips.

​

John smiled at the woman, he took notice of her new stance. He looked around the room once more, his eyes moved from their surroundings to the people who breathed the same air.


His wing hurt, but, it wasn't much of a concern; he could fix it up later. His form relaxed more as tiredness slowly began taking control.


"It's strange isn't it?" He said, turning back to the woman, who he now referred to as Nightingale.

[Iridescence]

She watched his eyes move across the room. In the fluorescent light of Titan's strange mechanical hideout, Nat had almost forgotten that it was past midnight. She turned to Titan for a second, wondering whether this was all he wanted them to come for - just to greet each other and do some fighting. Perhaps he had more in mind, though.


Nat was slightly caught off guard by John's question. "Strange? You mean how the old man over there was able to specifically find a group of powered individuals, invite them to his secret hideout, located under a crate, and employ them to be apart of his own wannabe hero team?" She shrugged.

She heard his wings, turning, she attempts to block whatever is coming with her scythe.

​

John snorted, "Well, yes, there's that." He then motioned to everyone in the room, his voice becoming more serious, "What's strange is that the world sees normal as human, but, look how many flaws there are. Are we flaws? We don't act human, some of us don't even look it." He let out a small laugh, "Hell, some us aren't even close to human."


"Humanity. . . Named after the leading species itself. But, us life forms seem to have more of it than the humans, huh?" John rubbed the front of his thigh, he sighed.


"But anyway," his tone was now much lighter and happier, "This is pretty weird. How did Titan even manage to find all of us? I don't even have any electricity powered technology at my place, or in my pocket. Solar power, baby."

(ooc: Since kain knows mostly blood magic it is a trap simply put lol. Its like glyph magic.)


Kain brought down his sword clashing with enormous strength onto her scythe. Landing holding his grip firm, as he pressed down onto her scythe. He looked around quickly noticing his trap was still there undisturbed.

 

[Iridescence]

Eyebrows knitted close together, Nat crossed her arms and listened to John's words. Her right hand tightened around her upper arm, almost whitening her knuckles. She watched as as the young man grew deep into thought, diving into that all so familiar question - 'what is 'humanity'?' In all honestly, Nat was rather surprised that he brought up this conversation.


Her eyes narrowed under her metal mask. "Humans have this unjustified desire to preserve absolute normality." She scowled. "They are scared of those who could threaten the uniformity of their monotonous livelihoods." Her voice was laced with angry, fierce tones.


She lifted her head slightly, taking a breath of air. The fierceness in her voice softened, "Don't get trapped in their fear John, it will only hurt you in in the end." The young woman didn't know why she spoke to him like this, nor did she know why she let him see her emotions. She softened the grip on her upper arm.

Nox knew she couldn't beat Kain with brute force, even if she mimicked someones extra strength. Dropping to the floor, she kicks his legs, attempting to get some distance between them.

 

[Garnet]

As 'ice man' was evaluating his moves, she knew what he was going to do. When he created the ice under her, she used it to her advantage and slid out of the corner while dodging his kick. She regained her balance and went back to her battle stance behind him. If he was going to turn around, she could kick him in the side, using the force of his turn against him. It still wouldn't do much damage though, but it was worth the shot.


(Also sorry for the late reply)

[Shog]

Seth was surprised by her reaction speed. Perhaps he had underestimated her. He didn't know if it was just a well honed reaction time, or something more regardless, he needed more acting and less thinking. Mr. Mason had tried to train him to fight mind readers. Whenever he explained it, it always sounded so complicated, and it was to an extent, but he compressed it to "trust your body to know what it is doing before your mind knows." It had worked for him in the past and had no reason to believe it wouldn't now.


He quickly grew some ice under his feat that gave him enough velocity with his own legs to jump up and over the girl. He fell down low with his momentum and moved his leg out to try and sweep hers out from under her.

"Everyone can be tracked down with the right means, my boy," Titan said to John. "You were a bit tricky, but once I found your general location it wasn't to hard from there. I found almost all of you from social media at first. Whether it was a blog mentioning something strange or just you in the background of a selfie, you're out there in one form or another. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? You know, that would have made my job so much easier back in my days. What was I talking about? Oh, yes. I then used some satellites to pinpoint your location even more. Then drones. With the right programing and parts you can get machines to do just about anything. Isn't that right, Hyjal?"

​

John was a bit shocked that Nightingale reassured him, he grinned at her. He rubbed his arm lightly, he could feel his body just now fully taking the bite of his previous flight. "Thanks."


John thought about Titan's words, "I hope I subconsciously photobombed someone, that'd be so cool." John shifted his weight from one foot to another.


It wing didn't hurt, but more of stung. The bone probably was broken, but, he could always just wait to fix it. Thankfully his mind was focused on other things.


"So, is Nightingale your real name? If not, still pretty cool. My 'fake' name is 'Son of Stars', it's sounds so stupid out loud." John laughed, it wasn't funny but, more of self depreciating.





@Iridescence

 

[Garnet]

Pearl was impressed by the extent of 'ice-man's' powers, she watched him as he produced ice out of thin air and glided over her. Unfortunately, this meant her guard was down and she wasn't concentrating on predicting his moves. A prediction sprang at her only a fraction of a second before he tried to topple her over. She jumped out of the way but lost her balance anyway and fell to the floor.


@Shog

 

[Iridescence]

Nat turned to Titan as he spoke. For a second, she began to wonder if she had accidentally photo bombed any selfies recently. Nope, not that she remembered anyway. She had been in some new stories though, none of which showed her face or stated her names.. That was only to her knowlege anyway.


She chucked slightly when John asked if her actual name was Nightingale, but was quick to regain her previous attitude. "No, Nightingale is not my real name." She smiled, "By the way, 'Son of Stars' is a cool alias." She fiddled with the staff chained to the black belt around her waist. "I've met someone who called themselves 'The Tortoise'. 'Son of Stars' is not stupid."

"You betcha!" Hyjal agreed enthusiastically, looking up from her project. "Let's see if I did this right," she murmured, closing the chest of the mechanical bird and pressing the button on top. As if it had a mind of its own, the bird leaped to life, giving a few too-rough chirps and hopping around before Hyjal flicked the off switch, muttering to herself about fixing the sound of the chirp as she opened up a different part--the throat--and resumed her tinkering.


"Any tips, Titan?" she asked, although she kept her eyes trained on her work. The elder engineer probably had a lot more experience than herself, even if it wasn't directed towards making mechanical birds. Or maybe it was; Hyjal didn't know.

 

[Shog]

Seth waster no time at jumping at his opponent. He began extending his "ice claws," as he called them. They were plenty sharp and would leave a mark. As he swung towards her face, he remembered that she wasn't that kind of enemy and stopped mid swipe. He just stood there for a moment, unsure what to do.

==================================================================================================

​

"I might have a trick or two that could help you," Titan replied. "I'll show you them later if you so desire, but I suspect you will have it perfected by then." He raised his voice so everyone could hear him. "Ok! Everyone come here! It is time we continued and I showed you the candy."

Hyjal grinned, shrugging sheepishly when Titan said she'd probably figure it out. "Still would be nice to learn from the best. Thanks for the offer!" When Titan rose his voice to call for everyone, Hyjal patched the small mechanical bird back up, setting it where she hoped nobody would touch it or break it and walking to be closer to Titan, enthusiasm sparking with her every movement. It was time for the real interesting stuff to start, the engineer knew, and she could hardly contain her excitement. She'd finally get to help take down Paladin, and she'd also get a chance to show off her research.

​

John snorted at the fact of someone calling themselves 'The Tortoise', he was about to make a comment when Titan called them all over.





John strolled casually over, ignoring the burning sensation of his wing, and raised an eyebrow, "Candy? Haven't we already hopped into the white van?" John rolled his eyes at his absurd words.


He shoved his hands into his pockets, his eyes drifted over Titan's workspace.


@Iridescence @Shog

 

[Garnet]

Pearl was frozen in fear when she snapped back to high alert mode and predicted his ice claws. She put her arms in front of her face to block the move but he stopped midway. She sat on the floor for what seemed like ages, evaluating what just happened before standing up.


"Hi, I'm Pearl." She said trying to smile. She extended her arm to shake his.

 

[Iridescence]

Nat moved slightly toward Titan and lifted her head in curiosity. She was interested to hear what he was going to say. The young woman once again placed her hands on her hips.


"The 'candy'?" She questioned, with a frown.

 

[Shog]

"I, uh," Seth said, still unsure of what to do. Making up his mind, he melted al of his armor away. "I'm Seth." He took her hand and then helped her stand up. "It looks like we'll be spending some time together and, in all honesty, Frost was a stupid name." He then walked towards Titan.

===============================================================

​

"Oh yes, the candy," Titan said again. "You know, the good part. First, let's all get know each others names. Some of you have opened up to introductions, but let's get everyone to know. I'll start. As you might have Guessed, my name is not really Titan. I am Garret Velross, owner and founder of Velross Inc. If you want my life's story, look it up online."

 

[Goldencurls]

-=(John Star - NY - HQ...?)=-

​

John scanned the room, his eyes never really satisfied with staying in one place. "My name's John Star, and I'm all out of online." He did a wave that was similar to a childish salute. "I'm quite literally a star. Half, anyway."

[Lord Anubis]

Reluctantly when instructed Kain withdrew his sword. He smiled closing his eyes, as the hunger within him was suppressed. Opening his eyes once more kain held out his hand. The black mist dissipated, and the blood on the floor flowed up into his hand before being reabsorbed. Kains sword shined a bright crimson red, and vanished into thin air. He bowed towards Nox" It was a pleasure to spar with you till next time!" he said in a polite tone. Raising his head he turned towards Titan, and the others walking over to them. He stood leaning against a pillar awaiting the others.

[Iridescence]

Nat crossed her arms. In her mind, she contemplated removing her mask. She watched as Titan revealed himself as Garret Velross. When he meantioned his business, she knew that she had heard that name somewhere before. She bit her lip. So, he was a wealthy man playing hero - of course. Nat held a serious grudge toward those rich guys. She shifted from one foot to the other as she listened to John.


"Well, I bet you're all going to find out one way or another." She mumbled. The young woman removed her metal mask to reveal her face. "My name is Natasha Stanton. You guys can just call me Nat though." Nat shrugged.

"M'name's Hyjal Deucsius!" the engineer stated, grinning. She didn't say anything else, crossing her legs where she sat and tapping a rhythm boredly on her leg. Her mind jumped back to the company name: Velross Inc. It seemed familiar, but Hyjal was too tired to think of where. Unfortunately, when she realized she was exhausted, immediately she felt the urge to sleep. She was good at staying awake, though, and managed to keep her eyes open throughout introductions.
