Talon

You don't stand out, I guess. I'll put you in my next one. Now we delete all these OOCs and continue with the RPG, capiche?

[color=teal]Nope. I just made it to tell a story.[/color]

[FONT=times new roman][color=teal][i]I'll tell you, now, a story of truth. Of a man who once fought evils uncouth. His legend has been forgotten by time, So here and now I tell you his rhyme! Magnus Firenze had been a great fighter. His hair was light silver, and his eyes, they were lighter. They shone like the mythril they mined in Antilver, His strength outmatched even the great tree Lansilver. He spoke with his father about his one fate, Hoping his name would be placed on the slate. Magnus swore to his father, making a swear-sacrifice. "I swear to you father, I'll be Guardian of Paradise!" He rode out on his steed with a fight on his mind. He lost a great battle with he of demon-kind. He rode on with a gash in his mighty chest. He fell to the ground an into an uneasy rest. Sharde Ironside was a girl of great beauty. Many men in her house had whispered "Hey, cutie!" She was walking one day along the dirt street. When she found injured Magnus asleep at her feet. They lived in love as Magnus' wounds did heal. Magnus' heart, Sharde Ironside did steal. One day, she hastily took up and went walking, And when she returned she heard her love hotly talking. The demon was evil, it was pure bane. To face the creature of legend was to face unending pain. Legend said it's wings were dark fire, it's eyes were sheer black. No hero back then had lived against its attack. Magnus and Sharde fought side-by-side, Tanning the great demonic evil's hide. Sharde fell to the ground, her lips frozen dead. As Magnus severed the great demon's head. Magnus stared at his love, now dead on the ground. He screamed at the sky, though no-one was around. He held his blade level with his chest, And with one stroke laid himself to eternal rest. Magnus Firenze, my friend I am sorry to see. Your deeds have been forgotten by history. Though I know your story, and of your sacrifice. I mark you , my friend, Guardian of Paradise![/FONT][/color][/i]

[color=teal][i]As they neared the back door, Blaze suddenly stopped. He started backing away, and Relee looked at him surprisedly. He looked scared, and from everyone's experience, he was fearless. He wasn't even afraid of the Nemesis, but he was afraid of the backdoor.[/i] [b]Jubei:[/b]Blaze, buddy? What's wrong? [b]Blaze:[/b]You...you don't want to go out there! I can feel it. The instincts from my years as a Crimson Guard tell me that someTHING is out there. Something huge, and destructive. Something worse than the Nemesis. [b]Relee:[/b]Blaze, NOTHING is worse than the Nemesis. If it's the Nemesis, you can take care of it, but we are almost out! [b]Blaze:[/b]Okay. Relee, you stay behind me, though. I lead the group out. We don't stop unless it's a wall of zombies. Let's go. [i]Jubei and Ryowa stood behind and slightly to the side of him, guns and flamethrower at the ready. Blaze pulled out his Browning 9 mm. and tightened his grip on the magnum. He threw the door open, Relee standing directly behind him. When the door opened, Blaze saw a sickening sight. Human beings were strew across the beast's spike and teeth, dead. The beast glared at Blaze, then swung its head around.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]It's the Gravedigger! Umbrella's been working on this project for years! He's not the Nemesis, but we need explosives! Jubei, there's one more weapon in the bag! Get the grenade launcher! [i]Jubei handed Blaze the grenade launcher, and he sprayed the Gravedigger with molten fluid. The beast was unphased, and Blaze was trying to find ammo in the bag...[/i][/color]

[i][color=crimson]Zero looked up at the vidcomm unit, hoping for Iris to call. Instead, the screen sparked to life as Zi called him up.[/i] [b]Zi:[/b]Zero, I must request to upgrade my armor and get my E-Chip for I am sure I could act better with them... [i]Zero thought it over for a long while. Finally, he decided it was for the betterment of the Zero Unit.[/i] [b]Zero:[/b]Report to Doctor Cain for the upgrades, Zi. He will gladly enhance your systems.[/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero dashed from the Halberd, staring into space. He landed close to some ruins, and he slowly walked inside. He found a cave-like crevasse and walked inside. He found a red reploid inside it, and he slept next to the figure, hoping not to wake him. Zero dreamt of his past betrayals and woke in a sweat, the red reploid still asleep. Zero shook himself and decided to stay until the reploid woke up...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze stared in shock at Ryowa. Then he thought a bit and he pulled out a badge. A badge he'd worn last year, bfore joining R.C.P.D. He'd been a member of the Crimson Guard, the favorite mercanaries for Umbrella to hire. He tossed it to the floor and put a magnum bullet into it. A tear fell from his eye, and he tightened his grip on Relee just a bit.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]If only I'd known they'd do this. If only I knew what Umbrella was doing with genetics. I'd have blown Umbrella to Hell.... Ryowa, I'm sorry about Lou...I really am. [i]Blaze moved up to Jubei, handing him the bag of lighter fluid containers. Blaze took Relee's hand and slowly walked with the group, holding his magnum at the ready.[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze wrapped his arm around Relee, sickened at the beast. Suddenly, a loud crash behind them forced the group to turn around. Nemesis stood in front of them, and he knew that Blaze was a S.T.A.R.S. member. [/i] [b]Nemesis (growling):[/b]S.T.A.R.S......... [i]Blaze let go of Relee, knowing what he had to do. He drew out a magnum he'd kept in the rear pocket of the gym bag, and he handed the flamethrower to Jubei. He stared at Nemesis and removed his shirt. He ran forward, yelling in vengeance for the death of his cousin, Brad Vickers. He held Nemesis at bay in a match of hand-grips. He stared over his shoulder, seeing Relee crying. He threw Nemesis, gaining time to breath and stare at the party.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]GO! I'll keep this f*ucker at bay. And Relee, If I don't get out....I love you! [b]Nemesis:[/b]HRARRRG!!!!!!!!!!!!! [b]Relee:[/b]BLAZE!!!!!!!!!! NOO!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! [i]Blaze fell to the ground, the Nemesis wrapping his tentacle around his throat. Blaze repeatedly jammed his fist into Nemesis' ribs, and his cure suddenly kicked out. His face elongated, and Nemesis found himself face-to-muzzle with a man-wolf. He tore into Nemesis' throat, ripping his tentacle out of his hand with his free claw. He growled as Nemesis fell, but he didn't die. Blaze focused hard on his bloodstream, and the cre began to cycle again. He became human again as he turned. He stumbled ofrward, Relee the only one that had not followed his order. She ran into blaze's trembling arms, and together they walked after the party. Blaze left his torn and bloody shirt on the ground, preferring the body armor he'd torn from Nemesis. He kissed Relee as they walked, thankful he was alive and not alonbe.[/color][/i]

[i][color=teal]Blaze awoke a bit later, feeling like a pile of sh*t. He shook his head, grabbed his gun, and stood rather shakily. Relee caught him and held him up just before his left knee buckled. He regained his composure after a few minutes, and he strapped his "flamethrower" onto his back. He glanced at Relee and began to walk forward, unwittingly holding her hand. Suddenly, a group of Shadows descended upon them from down the hallway. Blaze instinctively moved his hand behind his back, moving Relee behind him protectively. Jubei began to fire at them as Blaze lived up to his name and sprayed them with flaming liquid. They shattered as Jubei's bullets hit their bodies that had been hardened by Blaze's fire. Blaze turned around, his part of the job done, and kissed Relee on the cheek without even thinking. He pulled away, then blushed, and Ryowa almost bust over laughing. Blaze turned back to the hallway and led the group through, occasionally shooting a zombie with a shot from his Browning. He still held Relee by the hand, and she pulled him to face her when they reached the front doors, which had been heavily barricaded. He blushed fiercely, trying to hide the emotion in his eyes. She led him behind the barricade, where no one could see them, and she kissed him on the cheek, as well. Before she moved, he kissed her on the lips, knowing he might not get the chance if he never made it out of the hospital. She looked at him, but he turned quickly and handed James the Mp5. Jubei told Kaze to watch the other side of the hall as James watched for zombies on their side. Blaze and Jubei took to removing the barricade, and eventually it was dismantled. However, outside, there was a familiar menace. He was weaker, but he still hated the S.T.A.R.S. team. Blaze and Jubei hastily threw up the barricade again, and hoped that it didn't know they were S.T.A.R.S. members. They ran, knowing that now there only way of escape was out the back way. Blaze held Relee's hand, hoping he'd live to ask her....[/i] [b]Jubei:[/b]He looked torn up. I'm guessing a couple of shotgun rounds'll take him out, but what the hell is the Nemesis doing here? I thought Jill Valentine took him out! [b]Blaze:[/b]Me, too. But dammit, now we gotta get to the back of the hospital again![/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze was held up by Jubei and Relee as they stumbled slowly down the stairs. Suddenly, Blaze realized that it was dangerous to get injured in the hospital, or even Raccoon City. He felt a new, more controllable strain of the virus flow through his veins, and he slowly grew taller and more oriented. Relee and Jubei dropped him and held up their guns at the man-wolf. He turned to them and grinned. His wound was still bleeding, but he was able to take it. He held his hand up and extended some claws, and then he focused on becoming a human again. Suddenly, Blaze stood normally in front of them, and Relee and Jubei had to catch him as he fainted from the pain. Jubei looked worried, but Blaze managed to speak before passing out.[/i] [b]Jubei:[/b]Great. Now we have a werewolf! Well, we can't.... [b]Blaze:[/b]Hey, man. I ain't a bad guy! I can control it. Just reach into my bag and grab the hypodermic needle in it. Jam it into my vein and pump 5 cc's into me. I lived through Nemesis and Code Veronica, man. I know the cure and I always carry one with me. [i]As the needle sank in and injected the cure, Blaze convulsed. Relee looked into his eyes and saw pain, confusion, and oddly enough, love. He stared at her with pleading eyes as the virus slowly died within him, and he fainted completely from consciousness.[/i] --------------------------------------------------- OOC: Sorry 'bout the virus thing. Had to make it interesting. At least, more interesting than it was. And I really believe this is better than the movie or the games. Thanks for makin' this RPG SS Trunks![/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze pulled out a cigarette and lit it with his last match. He turned on the blowtorch after filling the water gun with lighter fluid, creating a homemade flamethrower. He walked to the door, motioning for Kaze to get out of the way after opening the door. He held up his gun as the zombies began to stumble in, and soon there was nothing but a LARGE pile of ashes. Blaze smirked, smiled at Relee, and got an odd feeling in his heart. He shook it off and motioned for everyone to move out, stocking up on heavy amounts of full lighter fluid containers. Suddenly, a zombie carrying a gun, presumably an Umbrella opertive, aimed at Relee as he walked down the hall. It fired, breaking it's decayed finger off. Relee screamed as the bullet sped towards her, and clinched, expecting to feel the sheer pain of a speeding bullet. It didn't come. She opened her eyes and saw a horrible sight. Blaze was kneeling on the ground, his right hand cluthcing his left shoulder. Blood oozed from the wound, and Jubei knelt beside him, checking if he was alright. Blaze grunted an affirmation, and he smiled a bit weakly at Relee.[/color][/i]

[color=teal]I don't really care what peoples get Sonic to do. I give him up. I can't keep up with everything anymore. I need a vacation, so Sonic is up for grabs. Sorry to decline, but I gotta spend more time with my girlfriend. See ya later.[/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero threw the comm link down in disgust, shaking his head. No answer had come. He moved onto the bridge, wrecking the weapons and navigational systems. Just as he coordinated the Halberd to land in a molten lake of steel at a foundry, a large needle-arrow shot into the wall next to his head. Zero whipped around to see the glaring face of Asute Falcon. No words were spoken as Zero dashed forward, pulling out his Boomerang Shield. He activated the laser edge-blade and threw the weapon, severing Falcon's wing. Falcon fired a needle shot into Zero's shoulder, pinning him to a wall. Zero gripped his MechaStaff, hiding it cleverly. He pressed a single button on the weapon's handle, causing it to extend. Asute did not notice as he dashed at Zero, needle-arrow at the ready. Suddenly, Zero pressed the button again and again, and Asute did not have enough time to scream as his core shut down. Zero pulled himself from the wall and grabbed Asute's needle-buster. He copied the program's power into his Z-gun, once again feeling the surge of victory...[/color][/i]

[color=crimson]OOC:Watch out, Ryo. You probably know that Zero is often called the crimson warrior, too. BTW, WELCOME! -------------------------------------------------- [i]Zero dashed into the comm-center of the Halberd, destroying the Armees in the way. He placed his buster-arm on the remaining buster of the last Guard, memorizing the data on the communications disc-sat. He rushed to the comms station, dialing he set-in for the comms of every reploid within eight miles.[/i] [b]Zero:[/b]This is resistance leader Zero calling for back up. Repeat, Crimson Warrior is aboard the Halberd Carrier and is in need of assistance. My comm-link is broken and I am heavily outnumbered. All reploids within broadcast range, please assist Reploid Renegade resistance unit Alpha! Repeat, help the resistance base! Renegade base, please send assistance. Zero out![/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze pounded and clawed against the cage, bending and contorting it wildly, but still making no escape. He howled and screamed in pain as a dart suddenly hit him in the shoulder. The poison filtered through his body as it knocked him out once again, preparing him for another battery of experimental chemicals...[/color] [/i][b][color=crimson](First person only to give EXTREME detail)[/b] [i][u]My eyes slowly opened, the sound of bubbling water surrounding me. I found myself floating inside a tube of green fluid, wires and tubes running through my body. A hose that fed air into my lungs covered my mouth, and my muscles were unable to move. I couldn't break through the engineered glass, and if I could, the mutant guards standing by the doors would have torn me to shreds with their Behemoth-tusks and blades. A man using a stick to walk traipsed in, staring at me with an evil glint in his eye. He smirked as he spoke...[/i] [b]Man:[/b]Well, my little creation. How are you? How is the greatest mutation in my lab coming along? [b]Myself:[/b].......... [b]Man:[/b]So. You feel the strength in your hands, do you? If you get rebellious as you did years ago, I will have my Behemoths tear you apart, Flare. Yes, you are now known as Flare. Or would you rather a better, less preemptive name? HOw about...........Delita? Yes. You have no say-so in this. What is your name?!? [i]I unwillingly gave my response, struggling to hold my mouth closed.[/i] [b]Myself:[/b]D...De....Delita. [i]He walked out, leaving me to be "programmed". My eyes drifted shut, and I passed into a nightmare-filled sleep.....[/i][/u][/color]

[color=teal]OOC:Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Well, if you manage to get to the lab in one piece, you'll find a surprise. And like Mike says, I can be very weird sometimes, especially when I'm confused. --------------------------------------------------------- [i]Blaze found himself set into a machine. They called it the Transmogrifate Accelerator, and it was made from the very bowels of a demon-lord. Within an hour, Blaze's appearance had changed dramatically. He wore black jeans and black metal boots over human-like legs, but above the waist, his human-like torso was covered in short, blue-silver wolfish fur, his muscular arms and hands normal except the fur that covered them and the retractable claws that extended up to a foot long from his fingertips. His face was that of a wolf, though the yellow, glowing eyes shone with elven intelligence. His mind, however, was not the same as it had been. He remembered nothing about his life, of Rain or Lacroix. He merely remembered the abherration named Alastuin, for she had been a failed project, one that he had allowed to escape. He knew who she was, and that she had never been completed. He howled at the moon through his cage in the courtyard, aching for someone to accept him, to love him. He knew that Alastuin was taken, however, and that hurt him worse. He pounded on the adamantium bars of the cage, bending them significantly, but merely bending, not breaking. He would never be able to break them with his solid-silver claws, though they each extended into a fierce point in a straight line. He cried out, aching for acceptance, love, and a way out...[/color][/i] -------------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: No, I am not hinting that Blaze is in love with Alastuin. I am stating that the fact that she has a lover makes him jealous. Not of Lacroix, but of her.

[color=teal]I'll let him in as long as he doesn't make himself too powerful. And X is not the second main character of the MegaMan Zero game. In the game, you fight a CLONE of X, and that's it. The spirit of X resides in Zero's sabre, powering it up, but I will allow Dark-Eye into the RPG as an upgraded, less prominent X. There is NO WAY IN HELL, however, that there is a main character in this RPG. It revolves around everyone, not just me or X.[/color]

[color=teal][i]Serenol and Mara entered the glade in the middle of the Asimi Forest where the temple Gladius stood, or crumbled. It was once a proud temple, the point of its singular needle tower was said to pierce the sky once upon a time, but now it all lay in ruins. The sky-needle was now half-buried in subterranean levels, and the grand chapel was no longer grand. Though the temple had once been easy to navigate, it was now behest with evil Driders, Salamanders, and on occasion, the single remaining priest saw a glimpse of the terrifying Rakshasa, a lion-man with the powers of pure darkness, though even his powers did not match Nilothakir. Hunter and Mara spoke with the priest, and they asked him for the location of the Iko-Nefra scroll...[/i] [b]Serenol:[/b]Brother Dinare, it is me, Serenol Ashenmyst Muirin! [b]Dinare:[/b]Lord Corellon Larethian be praised! The prodigal son returns! How are you, Serenol? What has the greatest student of Muirin Ashenmyst learned recently? [b]Serenol:[/b]Nothing save the powers God gave me when my father and I died and Heaven made me a Holy Knight. We need the scroll of Iko-Nefra, Bro-. [i]As he said Iko-Nefra, the powers of Rakshasa magically restored the sky-needle at the caenter of the temple, and Serenol understood. He must make it to the center of the temple and defeat the demon to earn the scroll. He gripped his wife's hand and walked into the temple with her...[/i][/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero dashed onto a hovbike and flew at the airship, prepared to battle to the death. However, a thought crossed his mind, a thought involving Ciel. He clenched his teeth and jumped off of the hovbike, landing on the Halberd Carrier, home to the Asute Falcon. He dashed forward, into a corridor filled with Guards and Spyders, and he knew he'd need help. His comlink was busted, so he had to get a signal out manually, but how....?[/i][/color]

Ok, everybody. Sorry about the scare. I just needed a small break, and family problems damn near caused me to delete EVERY SINGLE POST I ever made on Otaku. Sorry. This RPG is still up, so let's delete all the unsightly OOC posts and kick some Maverick A**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[color=teal][i]Blaze and Jubei led the group down the stairs, heading for the lounge. As the group pressed on into the lower floor, Blaze hit upon an odd-looking water gun. He reached into his pack and pulled out a blowtorch and strapped them together, knowing what he would do when he found an ample supply of flammable fluids. He was too busy in his thought to notice another "Shadow" was creeping up his left leg. Jubei grabbed the matches from Blaze, lit one, and dropped it onto Blaze's leg, causing the beast to retreat and solidify, allowing the Jubei to hit it with a couple of bursts from the Samurai Edge, though it still lived. Suddenly, Ryowa held up the katana that Blaze had given him and killed the beast. After that, they made their way into the lounge, ready to stock up on lighters, lighter fluid, matches, and other pyrotechnic equipment...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Alaris whipped backwards into Bleed's side, lacerating the organs that Ilythiirtar had exposed. As Serenol expertly controlled the longsword, he spun over Bleed's head, twirling Alaris into the back of his neck, ejecting ichor onto the walls. As the vomitous mass of greyish-red fluid spilled across the ground, Bleed brought his claw into Serenol's side, slashing open his left arm and part of his left sternum. As Serenol clutched the angry wound, he flung Alaris into the air, chanting a spell he hardly dared ever use...[/i] [b]Serenol:[/b]Lekna fiore desh regar seleket beionay Vorpalis! [i]His body began to glow, and Ilythiirtar turned away, his eyes blined by the light. Serenol's body melted into the fluid motion of the Vorpal Slash as he sped around Bleed at five times the speed of light, causing the illusion that many Serenols surrounded Bleed and were now cutting into him viciously. With a punctuating cleave, Serenol ended his attack, but not Bleed's life. The childish half-elf collapsed, his energy and life force nearly drained. As he was immobilized, the severly weakened Bleed saw it as an opportunity to claim his true victim, Serenol Ashenmyst Muirin.....[/i][/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero grabbed the Z-gun from his back holster, aiming it right into Flash's ribs. Suddenly, Dr. Light began activating Bass and Roll....[/i] [b]Roll:[/b]Fl...Flash? [b]Bass:[/b]Bro...ther? [i]Zero pulled the blaster away, looking into Flash's eyes. He aimed the charged shot at a button on the wall, resealing all passages that Flash had opened. He spoke directly to Flash as he let him go to embrace his love.[/i] [b]Zero:[/b]You see! I killed her under the influence of the Mavericke Virus, and now I am resurrecting her as reconciliation. Damnit, how do you think I feel about X's death? [i]With that, Zero collapsed to the ground, tear streaks once again staining his cheeks. Ciel walked in, saw Zero's pain, and dropped the tray of E-capsule upgrades for him. She took him in her arms, cradling him in her arms. She felt him shudder as he realized his position, and she looked into his eyes. He pulled her closer, and she moved closer willingly. As their lips met, the alarm went off, but Zero did not care. As he pulled away, he slipped something into Ciel's hand as he stood up and gripped his sabre, heading out to destroy the Asute Falcon, an airship that threatened the compound. As he walked away, Ciel opened her hand,and inside was a single diamond ring.....[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Serenol led her out of the house and looked toward the Asimi Forest, in which the ruins of the Gladius Temple stood. Serenol had been trained in all forms of magic and fighting in that temple by his father, and that is where the scroll had been kept.[/i] [b]Serenol:[/b]We're going to my old school, sweetie. [b]Mara:[/b]Where you go, I go. [i]Together they walked toward the forest, Serenol's eyes uncharacteristicly light, and that made Mara extraordinarily happy that her husband was happy. She leaned against his shoulder, walking with him and wondering at the awesome powers in his soul. She feared that he would leave her when the full strength of his powers was realized, but they shared the knowledge that it would never happen.[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Serenol awoke that night, his mind resolved to find the scroll of Iko-Nefra, the magic that would allow him to perform the Vorpal Slash to its full strength without fatal results. He crept out of bed, slipped into his armor, and began to write Mara a note, but thought better of leaving her alone. After all, he'd gone insanee without her, note or not. He softly awakened her, asking her if she would like to come with him...[/i] [b]Serenol:[/b]Mara, my dear. Would you likie to go on a trip with me?[/color]
