‘‘‘Jiang-shi‘‘‘
The power builds to a critical point... and he bursts, roiling energy exploding towards the two vampire hunters.
The being’s actual body is reduced to a dried husk.
/\。。/\"You got a deal!" Puddin gives Oca a thumbs-up.
"I'll come find you in, hmmmm... A week or so?"
Lawbot Courthouse
A few Cog lawyers are stunned by Blade Wolf and Konngara, and the defense pan begins to dip towards the floor.
Mega Man gets to a secure position and waits.
Double Gear Cooldown: 1/2
The Bloodsucker, Back Stabber, and Spin Doctor look away from the prosecution pan for a moment, then throw some evidence at Mega Man, Konngara, and Dres respectively.
Mega Man takes the hit and yelps briefly, but steels himself.
Noctilum
Simon's shield breaks and he ends up dazed, but he doesn't seem too badly injured.
He shakes his head straight and looks over at where he had last seen the demonic vampire.
Cauldros
Saitama is on a casual 200MPH jog when he sees Jiren zooming overhead. "... Huh." He cups his hands in front of his mouth and shouts, "HEY! YOU UP THERE!"
"He's gearing up for war."Bokuko leaps in front of the danger and uses her clone to defend herself, granting her allies a defense but sacrifing her clones for that purpose. She herself takes some damage but Dres grabs her with one Susanoo hand, while pelting evidence with her giant;
"... Fool."

Jiren look down at Saitama and fly down quickly, his massive arms folded over his chest.
"...."
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.Saitama comes to an immediate halt, then sizes up Jiren. "Hey there, big guy."
"He's gearing up for war.""... Hello, fellow superhero." he answers, in a low, rumbling tone. "What are you doing here ?"
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.”Okay!”
”Wasn’t something happening in a week or a few?”
”What? Oh yeah, him. Eh, we can take him probably.”
/\。。/\"Oh right, that guy! I've heard about him. Should I bring you the egg before or after he's dealt with?"
"Yo. I'm just, uhhh... Taking a walk. So you're a superhero too? What's your hero name? Mine's Caped Baldy - it's lame, I know."

"He's gearing up for war."”Hm... honestly, I don’t think there’s enough time for me to do much with it before it happens, and I wanna keep it safe. Maybe after, or just hand it off to her?”
”Yeah, I could hold onto it.”
/\。。/\".... A descriptive name." he replies, not bothering to look down at Saitama, giving the impression that he's conversing with the horizon. "Like mine : Jiren the Grey."

Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad."Alright, I'll entrust it to my fellow Majin... once I have it, of course. Bye!" Puddin flies out.
"Cool name. So are you like... really strong or something?" Saitama is looking off in a similar way now, but due to Jiren being taller than him, it's not actually clear where he's looking.
Edited by KiriK on Oct 9th 2018 at 12:59:37 PM
"He's gearing up for war.""Yes." he says, immediately, in a tone that suggest that he doesn't need to boast or exaggerate his claims. He says it as if his strength is just a fact.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.”Bye!”
They wave after her.
...
”You think the others are still busy?”
”Maybe.”
”... Next time, hang out in NLA?”
”Yep.”
They teleport out.

/\。。/\Japhet is flying high in the sky above the Arena, looking to see if he can find Nicole.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Oblivia
Nicole is presently chilling out near the Azure Lagoon, checking her phone. It Japhet is flying above her, then she hasn't seen him yet.
"C'mon, Cinke, you've gotta have something new on the Mandrakk investigation by now... Not to mention the other crap on my to-do list I talked to you and Plat about..."

Cabba flies over to Nicole from out of seemingly nowhere. "Hey, Miss Nicole! How has it been?"
"Same here," says Saitama with the same casual tone.
"Wanna... test our respective strengths against each other?"
"He's gearing up for war."Upon seeing Nicole, Japhet descends. While he doesn't know who Cabba is, he has no time to be wary.
"Nicole!", he exclaims. "It's a good thing I found you!"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Nicole's train of thought is quickly derailed by Cabba's sudden arrival, which causes her to nearly jump in surprise.
"Jesus, Cabba, you nearly gave me a friggin' heart attack... Anyway, I'm just fine, if a little busy."
Then Japhet happens, eliciting a sigh from the Arcane half-dragon.
"Guess it's 'Everybody Surprise Nicole Day' or something... whaddya need, Japhet?"

Jiren raises his hand firmly.
"Wait." he says, before vanishing, with brief streaks of red light in the distance.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.Cabba looks over at Japhet. "Oh. Hello?"
Saitama stands there, scratching his head in mild confusion.
"He's gearing up for war.""Dedan's gone on ahead to confront Enoch. He heard about the... practices that happened in Zone 3 regarding sugar, lost his patience and stormed off, demanding answers. I tried to get him to wait, but..."
"Sucre, merchant!"
"Zacharie."
"Yeah, that. You two stay here and keep an eye on Hugo!", Dedan said, pointing at the cradle in which Hugo lies, covered in a makeshift sheet cocoon and snoring softly. "I'm going to have a serious talk with Enoch!"
"H-hey, hold on!", Japhet said, following him out before anyone even has a chance to protest. "I'm coming with you, but the two of us can't do this alone! We should wait for Nicole at least!"
Dedan paused, then turned to Japhet.
"Go get her, we'll meet up at the mountain!"
"But-"
But Dedan already stormed off. Japhet sighed and flew off.
"We need to make haste and join him at those mountains, or things could end very badly for him!"
He then looks at Cabba.
"Greetings. Are you a friend of Nicole's? ... Are you strong? Perhaps you can help us, the situation is urgent."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Jiren comes back.
"There are no civilians ahead. We may duel without causing collateral damage."
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad."Ugh, you just had to tell Dedan about that despite knowing full well about his anger issues, didn't ya, Zach? So much for asking Swain if he could lend whoever his toughest subordinate is for backup..."
Nicole proceeds to facepalm, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Oh, you've gotta be friggin' kidding me... C'mon, let's hurry before everything really starts going south. Don't worry, my pal Cabba's tough, though you might wanna fill him in on everything."
After getting to her feet, she spreads her dragon wings and takes flight towards the Wrothian Stronghold.
"Yes, I would say I'm rather strong... to be humble." Cabba bows.
"So, what do you need my help with?"
"Ah, alright." Saitama clenches his fists. "I'll give you the first move."
"He's gearing up for war."Jiren hesitates a moment and then goes for a simple punch. He's aware that his foe is superhuman but doesn't want to accidentally kill him.

Dres uses her Susanoo's gigantic hands to grab the evidences and throws them at the target with insane strength. Bokuko, eager to see some action, goes for a weaker but more effective alternative, summoning several clones. The thrown evidence is weaker but larger in numbers as a result !

Jiren is roaming the sky of the Arena, even his very suppressed Ki is titanic.
