Re: Herbert40k's Wrap-Up Thread

Vien Forest - 28/8/14

Salvador has made his way to the mentioned forest pool.

Salvador: Now then

Salvador leans his stave against a tree and takes off those old leather gloves of his. Lillianna may notice that his skin is a dark olive colour.

Salvador: Now, before we get on to swordplay and other hand-to-hand combat, we need to practice on control and conserving energy.

Now before we begin the exercise, tell me. Are you an Auric or not? This will influence what kind of exercise we go with.

"Oh Bassy, I do love red the most. Hair, clothes, lipstick, I love them to be red. The more flamboyant a woman is, the more she's as beautiful as a poisonous flower, right?"

Peril Cliffs - You're not even trying now, are you?

-Omega is slammed against the cliff face, the impact almost shattering her mask.-

Omega: <Heh... looks like there might be an enemy I can't break after all...>

Titan: ...Enough of this. You have proven yourself to be a worthy opponent, Iridis, one deserving of a certain respect. But there is clearly no point in wasting words on you any longer. If you truly believe that your will alone is enough to oppose me, then you may continue to stand in my way time and time again. Just know that you are merely delaying this world's inevitable rebirth. I will not allow everything I have worked towards to be destroyed. Not by you, not by Lucius, not by anyone.

Vien Forest - 28/8/14

Lillianna: ...I possess no Auric capability of my own. Despite my family lineage and my father's best efforts to unearth some form of hidden potential, it would appear that I am entirely mundane in such respects.

-She bows her head again, as if admitting this is somehow shameful.-

Peril Cliffs - Your FACE Isn't even trying! If you know what I me- *SHOT*

Jacob: Excellent. Then I need not use words. Regina, Thunderwave Titan.

-Regina looks around hesitantly-

Jacob: Now.

Regina: -Sighs and fires off a weak pulse at Titan before devolving back to a normal Gardevoir-

Jacob: I realize this may be a bit uncivilized... but...

-Waltzes up to Titan-

Jacob: There is a certain amount of pain you've inflicted on the world. I suppose this is just what we'd call fair. Sorry about this Ren... if I do any permanent damage I'll pay for it

-He rears back the cane and smacks Titan across the face with it-

Jacob: That was for Regina!

-And then the other way-

Jacob: That was for Lucius!

-He knees Titan in the gut-

Jacob: That was for Psyche! This is for-

-SMACK!-

EVERY

-THWACK!-

Peril Cliffs - *blows smoke off of gun*

-By this point, Titan is on his knees and looking pretty obviously bloodied, but his face is still the same grim mask of determination.-

Titan: If you believe this to be the just punishment that I deserve, then I will make no effort to resist it... if nothing else, may you extract some measure of catharsis from the act. But I must ask of you... do you mean to kill me? To put an end to whatever suffering I may inflict upon the world? Or is this beating merely for your own gratification?

Peril Cliffs - ....

-He rises the cane to strike again but pauses-

Jacob: .... I should kill you. End this all here, end this suffering. For everyone you've ever hurt... but...

-Lowers the cane-

Jacob: What right do I have... to determine what's just? To determine what you deserve? I can't hate you Titan. As I've said, we're both just men trying to do what we each believe is best for the world. And you haven't just poured pain into the world... This is for Crewe... Regina, Heal Pulse.

-The Gardevoir blinks, nods then sends a wave of healing energy over Titan and free's him of his paralysis-

Jacob: And this is for Crow, Titan.

-He holds out his hand to help him up-

You can do whatever you feel necessary. Return the punishment I just inflicted on you, kill me, flee, return to meditating... whatever you desire. I... found what I was looking for. One day you will answer for all you've done, but it will be at the hands of someone who has the right to ask you to answer for all that. For the killing, the pain... you're very rejection of what it means to be a Trainer and a father and human being... but... there is more to you than the heartless machine you try to paint yourself as. You're a man deserving of respect and I apologize for my flagrant disregard of that respect.

Salvador stops and walks over to Lillianna, giving her a pat on the shoulder. Salvador gives off the impression that he's smiling at her.

Salvador: Don't think of yourself as lesser because you were born without some "family legacy power". Trust me, they can be more of a curse than a blessing at times.

Salvador walks back over to the tree and picks up his stave.

Salvador: Still, you'll find that many of the techniques are interchangeable. For the base energy is pretty much the same. The manifestation of Ghost, Dark, Fighting Aura and Psychic powers is a mutation of this base energy.

Salvador picks up a long stick and tosses it to Lillianna.

Salvador: This exercise requires dual wielding. So you'll need this.

Salvador picks up a small twig.

Peril Cliffs

-Titan looks up at Jacob's hand for a moment, then hauls himself back onto his feet under his own power, though he quite clearly struggles to do so.-

Titan: ...You owe me no respect, Jacob. After everything I have inflicted upon you, I have yet to express even the faintest hint of remorse... a fact which I now take it upon myself to correct. You have shown me the power of your spirit, and the strength of the bonds with your Pokemon... fleeting, intangible things, yet you are able to overcome seemingly impossible odds with them alone. I was wrong to take your closest companion away from you, to twist her into an unfeeling monster. Nothing I ever do will atone for that... you would have every right to enact revenge and kill me here. And yet you make the illogical decision to spare me, for you are a creature of emotion... perhaps I ought to be grateful that pure reason does not dictate the actions of all. Farewell, Jacob. If there is any justice in this world, then may your future be brighter than mine.

-He sends out Sidious, who teleports both trainer and Pokemon away with a blip.-

Vien Forest - 28/8/14

-Lillianna raises her eyebrow at the twig as she catches the stick.-

Lillianna: ...What are you intending to accomplish with that?

Energy slowly swirls and extends around the stick until it forms a distinct Crosier construct. Salvador grips the construct and relaxes his arms, dual staves drooping.

Salvador: Now. What I am about to teach you is an old technique known as Panthra, an exercise that focuses oh balance and co-ordination. While this technique does have focuses on coordination between the feet, body and weapons, the real crux of this exercise is being able to efficiently use both hands and arms simultaneously. As such, it requires great focus and being able to manage your energy efficiently.

Would you like me to give you a demonstration?

I've got the Jammer Canceller and a teleportation blocker all ready to go... we just need to wait for our the rest of our distraction to show up and we'll be ready to go. I went over your part in the plan with Gekkobi yesterday - basically, when we make our entrance, you two will use your ninja powers of misdirection and so forth to wreak havoc and draw the guards away from Titan's office. Unless, of course, you're particularly keen to deal with him firsthand.

The Auric Avenger: Dear Arceus, is everybody buying that story? The man considers sociopathy to be an admirable trait and yet I'm the only one that thinks taking him at his word is a bad idea. If we get the chance, then we're taking down the Admins too, but that's after we've dealt with Titan, okay?

-He nods to the Blue Emperor.-

The Auric Avenger: And there's our distraction. Now we're just waiting on my avian assistant. You're going to need these, by the way.

-He tosses the Emperor the Aura Jammer Canceller and the Diglett's Pokeball.-

"I don't know, it seems safer to take down the admins first." Shingeko folds his arms "True or not, we need to consider every possibility and adjust to them, if we just go assuming Titan is the one calling the shots and turns out the admins are running the circus, then we're just walking into a trap and we could get in serious danger, more than we already are. If we go after the admins first, the worst that can happen is Titan escaping, but even if that happened we'd still deal a huge blow to his organization and we likely would be at less risk."
