Sutoratosu

perhaps some details on the plot to get people a bit more interested?

Well... this makes a good twenty days or so since Maddie was last active... oh well, new plan then, Instead of just keeping her in a coma, I'll be personally taking control of Enyo along with Logan for the time being.

EXlink32 Romon looked at the man who had just burst through the doors of the now nearly empty tavern, at first he had thought the man to be the same whom Rodriguez had told to place his meal on the tab, however, he took a moment to examine the individual and realized that he and the other man had no resemblance what so ever. The apprentice bartender simply nodded, reaching beneath the counter and retreiving a small flask of wine and another flask full of water, placing them on the bar in front of the Zollivar. "That will be 20 Myta, Ser." he said in his strange accent as the man before him continued trying to catch his breath. TyphlosionRulez The Magistrate visibly relaxed a little in her chair... perhaps this man wouldn't be trouble after all. "Very well then," she began "I trust you've the emblem of the Sultan's household and a signed letter confirming this?" she looked at Gideon expectantly, waiting for the young man to validate that he was in fact on the mission he had just described to her. Octavia Eric was the first one to break the stare-off that had taken hold between the three men, charging towards Freyal and swinging his scythe in a long horizontal arc, the thief king leapt backwards off the sky light, dodging the blow narrowly as Eric again came charging at him, shouting furiously as he swung his scythe in another arc, casting a volley of lightning at Freyal this time, who agilely leapt up into the air and summersualted behind Eric, his knife flashing as he went to cut the young man's jugular a he came in to land from the jump, only for the deadly blow to be blocked by Boho's blade as the Deputy Magistrate surged forward faster than lightning, knocking the knife off it's course and slaming his fist into Freyal's gut, sending the man reeling backwards in pain as Eric thanked Boho and the two men turned and raised their weapons as Freyal stumbled and landed on the ground. they went in charging, bringing down their blades towards his head as Lupai reached into his pocket and activated the scarlet jewel there, focusing the effect on Eric and Boho before him... Eric turned his blade quickly in the air, his eye's now a cold blue just like Freyal's were. Boho saw the attack coming, and broguht his sword around to the side, blocking it as he slide backwards, putting distance between him and the young man. "What are yo doing, Eric!?" he called out as the young man charged towards him now, shouting in a murderous rage as his blade glowed indigo with electricity. Boho blocked it, and the two men were soon engulfed in a battle of their own against each other, Eric constantly attacking and Boho blocking and countering. Freyal let out a laugh as he got up to his feet, watching the two duel back and forth. Boho shouted at him as he blocked another blow from Eric's weapon. "What have you done to him, you Criminal!?" Freyal looked the magistrate right in the eyes as he pulled out the scarlet jewel and held it up for him to see. "His mind is now mine." he stated simply as an evil grin spread across his face. at that moment, a voice echoed out from behind Freyal. "That may be true," it said "But your ass is mine now, Marca!!" Freyal, stunned to have ever been called that name again, turned slowly to see who this new comer to the fray was... And standing there, a blade of gold and platinum drawn and humming with a soft white light in the night... ... ... was Deric. Four other men stood behind him, of which one with glasses had a long barreled fusil aimed at Freyal's chest, another in a cloak with a hood pulled over his head had a large gleaming bow aimed at his forehead. Deric turned to face them "Marshall, Decate, Jez, Royce... stay back. this is my fight." he said. the four men merely nodded, Decate and Marshall lowered their weapons. Deric stepped forward, anger plain as day on his face as he spoke. "I thought you were dead... guess I was wrong, but I'm going to fix that right now..." He charged at Freyal, his blade coming up in a wide stroke. the Thief King blocked the blow with his curved knife, sparks issuing forth as the weapons clashed and the two were brought face to face. his loathsome grin persisted as he looked Deric in the eye and spoke, mockingly "Of course... you were always the best, Deric... always the one that everyone hailed..." he thrust his knife upward, repelling the sword and ending the weapons contact as he gave an arrogant, spiteful look to Deric. "Tell me... Why did Lucretia choose you? If she had just loved me, then she'd still be alive and well..." he said mockingly, though a bit of saddness tinted the last part. for some reason, this remark sent Deric over the edge. he said nothing, merely shouted in a rage as he flew towards Freyal, his humming blade again clashing with his one-time friend's knife and sending a new stream of sparks lighting up the night sky as the two men began dueling back and forth, Deric using a heavily refined and intricately disciplined style of sword play, Freyal countering with his own reckless, street forged style, their steel singing and a storm of sparks flying as they fought. Supernovae "Go on." Rodriguez said simply as he held Esmerelda "We'll be there soon."

In the Atrium... McCarthy crept slowly through a thicket of lowlying shrubs, making nearly no noise at all as he neared ever closer to the legs of the sleeping beast, it's snoring loud enough from this distance. he stopped in his tracks when he was right next to the left limb... he turned to his GAOs, addresing his Dragonite. "Break it's legs." he ordered simply. The Dragon-like creature stepped forward, letting out a low, guttural roar as it became enveloped in a sphere of surging bluish-white energy (Dragon Rush), croaching down low as it's eye's took on a dark indigo hue as the roar echoing forth increased in both volume and malice. The GAO leapt off the ground, unfurling it's wings into the air and surging forwards like a bullet, it's furious roar now loud enough that it could be heard all the way from where the Squadron was located. it slammed into the Birds giant legs with immense impact force, a sickening crunch sounding as both of the limbs snapped like twigs, causing the Ice-Bird to awaken with a loud screech of pain and fury as it spread it's wings quickly and took off high into the air, a fierce blizzard beginning to issue down from the sky as it flew through the air... The beast turned in the air, soaring back towards where McCarthy was positioned, it flew in low, tucking in it's wings as it continued screeching like a banshee as it's body took on a dark, blazing indigo glow. the General dove to the frozen, snow covered ground and yelled out "Hit it head on!" his Dragonite again let out a guttural roar as it once more became enveloped in a sphere of energy and took off towards the bird as it barreled right towards him. his Magmar turned it's head upward to the sky, a torrent of hot flames issuing out of it's mouth and congealing into a massive sphere in the air, bursting apart in an emense explosion several seconds later, (Flame burst) sending multiple thick tendrils of flames heading right towards the bird... the battle had once again been joined. --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- on Subterranean level J-2... Caraway, Rowan and Oak soon came to a large, darkened chamber... various charred tools lay scattered on the ground, decaying and burnt scaffolding lined the walls... Oak stopped and turned to Rowan and Carraway. "This was the epicenter of the blast..." he said, cut off as a strange chuckling echoed forth from the darkened ceiling... the fire that had been pursuing them surged out from the corridor and into the chamber, running around the walls of the space and creating a ring around the trio. the laughter continued, growing ever more sinister and inhuman with each second. Rowan tore out one of the capsules in his pocket and deployed the GAO contained wherein in a burst of white light. as did Carraway with his own capsule. The moment the GAO's were released, the men retreated backwards behind them as a strange black mist filled the air in front of them, a pair of peering red eyes blazing hatefully in the fog as it began to take shape around them, turning from black to a dark violet. within seconds, the fog congealed into a form, and standing before them was a being that defied reason, floating atop the floor as wisps of vapor echoed off it. the three men took a step back in terror as their GAOs took steps forward, unphased by the strange being before them. a torrent of violet fire split off from the ring surrounding them, shooting off across the floor right in front of Clemont and the two other GAOs that had been released, stopping their advance in it's tracks. the thing's laughter could be heard as it rose up into the air, visible over top of the wall of fire. it trained it's eye's on Oak and Rowan, speaking in a warped and distorted voice, however, the words were undecipherable as it sounded as if multiple people were whispering over top of one another, the words that were trying to be communicated becoming lost in a sea of droning noise. Rowan took out another capsule from his pocket, his thumb on the trigger for it as he glanced at oak "We're not getting out of this without a fight." he stated simply as he reeled back and tossed the capsule through the air, the thing bursting and releasing another GAO to join the fray as the being hovering above the flames began to charge a formless blob of shadows in it's hand, smiling evilly at the group.

Gratz. and Ark took the words right out my mouth...

Anver awoke early the next morning, his eyes opening to glimpse upward at the darkened ceiling in the room. he sat up on the bed, swinging his legs over to hang off the side of it. he stood up lazily and stretched, glancing around at the room as he felt a pang of hunger in his stomach... thinking back on it now, he realized he hadn't eaten anything since noon yesterday. he walked out of the sleeping quarters, entering back into the room where the man named Alister had given him the hit mission on the Bartender. he looked around the place and the various doors leading off from it... Come on... I know these people have a kitchen somewhere in this place... he thought to himself absentmindedly as he walked over to one of the doors; the one that Alister had walked through after they had finished talking last night, and tried the door knob... ((I will leave whether or not it is locked to you, Flux))

Nice. yeah, I was a bit confused as to the nickname the first time I fought him in the game... then I remembered my days of playing Pokemon Mystery dungeon and put two and two together that it's probably named corey because... It IS Corey... he's a gengar, a ghost type; fitting as he's dead, and a poison type; fitting because that's what he specialized in... (That and in the Story of PMD, Gengar was portrayed as having been a rather selfish person in life, corresponding well with Corey's final conversation with the player on Beryl bridge, where he admits "I've been so selfish all these years... I didn't think of what was good for heather",or something along those lines, I may have paraphrased it a bit)

Well... Congratualations Hukuna. let's face it, it's really no surprise you were chosen for the job. this chat thing should prove a bit fun...

Actually...hell, they look to be exactly the same with the exception of the coloration... Conspiracy perhaps? nah... probs not. Also... here's a suggestion fro you: a picture of Shade transforming Corey's body into a Gengar

Samson is probably the easiest leader to beat thus far in the game when you consider where the story and difficulty is currently Most of my team was either int their early sixties or late fifties... we went up against him two times and lost... so on the third try, I decided that I was just gonna go spend all my cash on medicine and pull a Phoenix Sweep on the bastard... Long story short me and ma team are doing the PS and lo and behold... after my Noivern managed to take down half his team and my Swampert took out his speed boost blaziken with a OHKO from earthquake, we don somehow got Samson down to only his conkledoor left... we'll I sent in my Gardevoir, expecting to lose soon as I was running out of party members myself... then the unexpected happened; she sped ahead of Conkledor and OHKO'd it with a moonblast. walked in there expecting to gain a few needed levels... and I came out with a gym badge instead.

never figured Legend of Zelda to be a hack-slash type game... until know... this video... just... Yes. Simply Yes...

^ You should play it at the beginning of every IC chapter thread like this is an Anime.

I'd like something that has an epic feel in an orchestral style. Here's a song to serve as an example of the components I'd like (Monastic humming, orcestral tune...) something like this. though Lyrics would be fine as well in it ((Also you may want to look in the recent postings in the OCC thread for it ( Project Sky Slayer) since there's I've made a big announcement about the plot in the last day or so)) back on topic: @ Flux, so you just want me to continue on with Anver for now, right?do you want me just to advance it to morning for him or something and have him wake up?

This idea... sounds absolutely wonderful to me... do you think you may be able to find one suitable for Project Sky Slayer too? or even Surge Story?

Typhlosionrulez ((I'ma have to stall you for now... the damn map is taking a bit longer than I thought)) The large backed, revolving chair behind the counter turned around slowly as Gideon asked his question.... and sitting in it was a fully armored, beautiful faced magistrate with peircing green eyes, her head full of blonde, nearly shock white curls that fell down around her forehead and cheeks. she had one leg propped up on the other as she sat in the large backed chair, in her lap was a long barreled, intricately carved fusil. a strange, tiny metal hammer and plate lay in the place where the Wick should've been on the weapon. her white and grey stripped cloak draping on her shoulders, she looked up at Gideon, drumming her gauntleted fingertips on the Librarian counter as she seemed to see right through his flesh down to his very soul. She had been assigned to man the Librarian desk tonight by Arch Magistrate Atton in order to prevent any funny business from going down here... and this man looked like especially he would be trouble. "Very well then..." she began, her smooth voice full of authority as she Scrutinized Gideon "But answer one question first; Why would you require access to such restricted materials as Records regarding the Sky Slaying?" Supernovae Rodriguez nodded at Maximus "Well, thank you for your intention..." he then looked to Esmerelda, letting go of her arm as he addressed the young woman. "We might as well go see the resurrection and the Sky Slayer's attempt to kill Azauqyar... we've both got ourselves the night off now..." Esmerelda looked up into Rodriguez's eyes, rubbing her left arm with her hand, a bit sore from the iron death grip Rodriguez had put on her to prevent her from attacking. "You... called me your daughter..." she said simply, an accent similar to Rodriguez's now present in her voice "You... you've never done that before." Rodriguez met her gaze. "Just because I have never called you it before," he said "does not make the fact any less true, You were barely four-teen when I found you out dying in the desert, a mere child... I took you in and raised you, gave you a bed and food and a roof over your head... taught you all that I know... does that not make me your father even if we've no blood relation?" Esmerelda gave no response, simply turned away from Rodriguez... then started weeping silently "Whore..." she said haltingly in between her sobs "That is the same thing those bastards called me..." Rodriguez walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder, consoling her as he forgot that Maximus was even standing there. Esmerelda turned to face him, Tears streaming down her cheeks. she continued on as her sobs grew louder "They attacked us when we were only another day away from returning to Lithania... a women with golden eyes and white hair was leading them... she wore a golden plated fusil at her hip and a scitmar on her back... she cut down my father... then shot my mother dead when she tried to create an opening for me and my brothers to get away... then she had her...bandits restrain me and forced me to watch as she slit the throat of my oldest brother, Rowe..." she broke down fully at this point, unable to continue on with the rest of what had happened, her crying now uncontrollable as she was overwhelmed by trying to remember the evil day. Rodriguez took her into his arms, her head resting on his shoulder as her tears slowly soaked into the fabric of his simple cloth shirt, leaving a dark spot in the fabric... the Bar tender's eyes held a deep type of sadness there as he stared down at her in his arms. EXLink32 a Magistrate looked on as Zollivar stood winded, taking large gulps from his canteen, obviously exhausted from a long journey. "No... but it'll begin very soon." he said, turning and pointing to the north east. in the distance loomed a large domed building. "You had better get to the Holy Grounds quickly if you want to find a seat." with that, the Magistrate returned to his patrol in the Square, looking for any suspicious activity as his striped cloak blew in the wind. Octavia Freyal looked behind him as he landed atop another rooftop, this one far larger and more ornate than the others around it... he looked around, spotting a skylight and walking over to it, peering into the building's interior below... he saw a beautiful young Magistrate with a head of gold and white curls sitting in a high-backed chair behind a desk, a young man with greasy hair and a tan tunic speaking to her. she looked to be drumming her fingers on the counter as the two continued the conversation, a fusil lay in her lap, her other hand resting atop it. Freyal couldn't help but stop for a few moments and admire the woman... completely forgeting that he was supposed to be putting distance between himself and the shop incase of pursuers... though, he was sure he'd be fine... he'd already traveled a long way from the scene... and even if there were Pursuers, they'd never find him... not while the Talisman's enchantment was still activated, veiling him from sight. "My my..." He said absent mindedly "well... aren't you a dame?" a voice echoed out from behind him on the roof top as he heard foot falls heading towards him slowly. "I've found you, you filthy son of a two Myta whore!" Eric yelled out as he slowly approached the area that he knew his journal was in... right by this sky light here... though, he didn't see anyone... the only explanation was that they were invisible. A thought came to his mind, but he pushed it away, deeming it simply absurd... there was no way this person could be his friend Aaron... not the way that Eric had sensed the guy moving earlier... that was much faster than Aaron would be able to in his chair... that and the fact that he could hear the foot falls with every leap the guy had made. Freyal shot a quick glance over his shoulder, seeing Eric walking over towards the sky light, his eyes trained on him as if he could see right through the enchantment on Freyal's body... he got up quickly, the time to admire the attractive magistrate below apparently over. he turned to face Eric. "Well..." he began, smirking as he drew a long bladed, curved knife from a small scabbard on the back of his belt, twirling the blade in his fingers as it glinted in the moon light, though only he could see it. "Looks like I have company... Gotta say, I'm quite impressed... you managed to actually find me." he took a step to his left, and Eric's stone cold gaze followed him as if he could see the Theif King plain as day. he took a few steps to the right... the same thing. he let out a sarcastic sigh as he reached up and gripped the talisman, fading back into view and revealing himself visually to Eric. "Guess there's no use for invisibility right now if you can still somehow tell where I am." Just then Magistrate Boho came soaring over head, landing smoothly behind Freyal and rolling upon impact with the roof top, spranging up with his sword drawn, it's eerie green hue pulsating in the night air. "Why, hello there, Freyal," he began in his strange accent "You're under arrest." Freyal looked back and forth between his two pursuers, feeling a bit sheepish that he hadn't figured out they were tailing him the whole time... he rushed out from in-between the two, stepping onto the glass of the Skylight getting into a stance where he felt he would easily be able to dodge and dance around them when they came at him. "Under arrest, you say?" he said smirking "Oh.... no no no no.... I simply can't allow that Mr.Lawman... " he brought up his curved knife, holding it out infront of him at the ready. Eric and Boho lifted their own weapons, Eric's scythe erupting into a crackling surge as miniature lighting bolts coursed along the golden blade, Boho's sword pulsing with an even stronger glow. all twas silent as The three men stood there as the cold night wind rippled their clothing, locked in a two to one staring match, the tension in the air so thick one could cut it with a knife.... ((Typhlosion, don't pay any mind to them up on the roof, continue talking with the magistrate behind the desk))

some things I think can be corrected: I think that Fern and Florina may or may not be Fraternal twins, though we really can't know for sure since it hasn't really been clarified in the game if this is the case and whose older than whom... (Though even if their twins, I've the sneaking feeling that Florina's the older one) I'm fairly certain Cain is somewhere in his mid teens (Probably 16 or so) due to the fact that Aya is his older sibling and we have a definite age for her now (17) we have a definite age for Shelly: 12 years Cal might be more in his early to mid-twenties, though we can't exactly know for sure because we haven't met his older brother (Whose name escapes me right now) yet For Sirius, think it's safe to place his age as somewhere between 38 and 45 years Lin: (Judging from her old Reborn leader league card) either late twenties or very early thirties Heather... I'd judge her to be a few years behind Shelly, so ten or maybe eleven? For Radomus... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say mid-thirties to early forties Gardevoir... I don't even know if a Pokemon, even a humanoid one, would age at the same or similar biological rate a person would... so I'll just leave that alone for now... We'll probably never know how old shade is (OR... Was... which ever you prefer) Samson came of as more late-twenties to early-thirties to me and for terra... I don't... I'm not even gonna try that one... so, Ame... how many did I get right?

Damn Street rats... leaving litter all over the roads for PCs to slip on... anyways, I like how you illustrated fern in particular... think it captures the "Swagtastic Doucheness" of him

no quieter than Poke-people (NKA: the Shrouded Islands) was at one point... I'm hope it's still running. (Because it would honestly be a shame if this thing died in the early stages... it's pretty interesting) maybe Flux is just taking some time to go and think about where he wants the plot to ultimately lead?

well then... how about... Gardario (Gardevoir and Lucario) (Not in same egg groups, but as Murdoc before me once said; I.D.G.A.F.) Luclade (Gallade and Lucario) (same thing; idgaf) or even... a Charados (Charizard and Gyrados togehter... please do this...)

I never got a theme either... Though to be fair I never posted an intro thread either.. Welcome to the community. I'm sure you'll get along just fine here.

Erick went off to the left, joining Jory, Sid, Clint and Nathan. Surge and Infantry walked over to the right, joining Kenny, Lars, Logan, and Lionel, making both sides equal in number. Erick looked to the others, taking his assault rifle from where it was strapped on his shoulder and flicking the safety off. "We should spread out a little so that we all don't get taken out by a stray attack when that thing wakes up from the general's assault" he said simply, walking off across the snow covered ground, and ducking behind a large nearby fountain not far from the bush Clint and Sid and Nathan were hiding behind. he looked up at the bird, which was still asleep, not far away from where the two teams of five were. He took a crouching position and trained the sights of his X-19 on one of the bird's eyelid... he intended to give the damn thing something to think about as soon as the General gave the signal... "Yeah... let's see how big and bad you are once I put a couple dozen rounds in both of your beady little eyes, you frosty piece of shit...." ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- On Subterranean Level J-2... The banging continued... then stopped abruptly... Oak tried the elevator a few more times frantically... and got the same result that Lt.Carraway had gotten; the thing was completely dead. cursing silently under his breath, he reached into the pocket of his blazer beneath the lab coat he was wearing, taking out Clemont's capsule as another banging sound came from much closer in the hall... Rowan was reaching for the Capsule's of his own GAO as well... and so was Carraway... they had no idea whether they'd be any use in this situation... but guess this was the time to test that theory... before either of them could retreive the sphere's from their pockets however, a dark hued, violet fire erupted in the hall way behind them, moving towards them at an unnatural speed, screeching in an strange, inhuman tone as it approached... all three men turned an ran in terror in the opposite direction of the flames, leaving behind the crate with the rail gun.
