Ohhh, could I watch?! Roger ask, as Rayleigh leaves to fetch some more material to reforge a sword.

"Sure," Anna says to Gebura. Then she says it again to Roger before heading out to said plaza on her own.

"Okay, everyone!" she barks at a number of nameless NPCs. "Shit's about to go down, so you better run!"


Geo blinks in surprise at the power-up, right before Tahjin slices his arm down to the bone.

...

Okay, fucker.

He brings out the EXE Blade and attempts to whack Tahjin across the face with the flat edge.


Vale actually whistles appreciatively from seeing Umbra at work. That kind of power could almost be a match for her own, she believes.

   "Okay, fair enough. I have some more explaining to do now, though."

Gebura looks at the area around her clearing up, and gives a short nod. "I think this is clear enough. Anyone still staying around here knows the risks." Gebura's blade morphs in her hand, essentially flipping into a position where she's holding it in a position which is easy to swing from, albeit one handed. "So, anything you need to get out of the way before we begin?"

Tahjin would have parried the EXE Blade, but Ami rushes back in using Psycho Trilogy. A trio of hard light Ami's harass Tahjin enough to throw off his game, causing him to get knocked around by the flat of the blade.

"HA!"

Ami uses Breather to buff Geo's stamina and HP, before getting punted away into a wall by Tahjin.

"A!"

The blade elemental goes for a flurry of slashes, mostly coming from the side Geo is now crippled on.

Anna sizes up Gebura, saying nothing, her face tense.

"... Nah."

Stage of the Strong ~ Arena - Monster Hunter Rise

Anna aims her Gunlance at Gebura, light building from its barrel... before she flips it backwards, firing a jet of heat that sends her hurtling forward like a rocket, and skids to a stop past Gebura with a flying sweep of the weapon!


There is legit very little Geo can do about that. He continues to get cut up, though when he has an opening, he retaliates with a leaping roundhouse into a Webster axe kick.


The Arcaneum, College of Winterhold

Charlotte Emily is checking out books in the Arcaneum like it's a library. She stops when she notices something in a corner of the room... a fortune-teller's booth.

That definitely wasn't always there.

"'Mystical Maggie,'" she reads from the booth's top. "'Your fate awaits.' I don't like the look of this..."

The lower part of the booth reads, "CROSS MY PALM WITH SILVER", THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, and TRAINED BY THE GREAT KHAN HIMSELF.

Charlie approaches the booth, and upon closer inspection (and pulling herself up for a better view), she notices that the person inside wearing an old-timey suit with a shroud over their face is no person at all, but a robot, staring at her with empty eyes like those of a dead fish.

"Oh no."

Main Theme - The Room (iOS Game)

There's a tense, deafening silence in the air as Charlie hesitates on what to do next. When nothing happens for a few seconds, she decides to slide out the token tray, in which there lies a circular contraption. She takes it out and fidgets with it until she ends up rotating the outer ring, causing the neck and head of a key to extend and unfold from within.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unfolded_ring_key.jpg

"I don't like this, I don't like this, I don't like this, I don't like this..."

She looks around the Arcaneum until she finds a desk with a locked drawer. Trying the key, she successfully unlocks it... finding only a detached handle inside. Charlie sees that another drawer on the desk is outright missing its own handle, and the center of the desk has a puzzle lock. In other words, the entire desk is one giant puzzle.

She groans, at this point practically waiting for something to sneak up on her while she's busy solving this.

Another person walked in, in a similar manner, albiet obviously not needing a better view

He was fairly tall, probably 6 foot or at least close to it, short hair, nice suit

But what was probably most concerning, Is that Charlotte would probably recognize the man, again for obvious reasons, but he looked notably younger

Younger by years even, as he observed the store from the inside, he noticed Charlie and approached her, his thick British accent being noticable

"Well, I am supposed to be patrolling, but I've basically just done that.", Umbra says. "So I am... how do the humans say it... all ears."


Viche is ready to block, only to be surprised when instead of a punch, he gets a flick on the forehead. Naturally, with Kaioken's boost in power, this results in Viche being sent flying in a comical manner.

   "Okay, so basically I'm a lifeform called a Blade, and as the one who resonated with my Core Crystal to awaken me, you're my Driver. You can wield my signature lance in battle, and you can call upon my dark power... so make good use of it. Or else,"    Vale ominously threatens.


When their weapons clash, Anna simply puts up her giant fucking shield to block Gebura's retaliation, firing back with a point-blank explosion from the tip of her Gunlance.


Charlie isn't immediately able to see the man, but his voice sends a chill down her spine. She freezes, dead still, with her hand on the detached drawer handle.

"please tell me i'm hallucinating," she whispers to herself. "please, let this just be a nightmare."

Tahjin is pounded into the ground by the axe kick the instant his barrage lets up, and is dazed for a moment. It's like he was hit by a Pitfall item.

Ami casts "Deacticate Automatic Breath again. Tahjin shoots her a look that screams 'really?!'

He wheezes out a breath.


Oca's finger may also shock Viche via being an incredibly burning cold. Oof.

He blasts off after Viche, and tries to pelt him with a high-strength bonding agent. Basically, glue. Super saiyan glue.

Hub Centralis

A dark fog has partly overtaken the city, drowning out whole buildings in bleaky smoke that destroys all source of precious light... Well, except those in buildings. Looks like the fog can't break through those, so everyone's safe.

A tall figure dwell at the center of a street, hefting a tall green sword nearly bigger than he is.

   ......... i hunger   

Me too! You brought any food? The figure frowns and turns around, revealing himself to be a... pretty man with long flowing white hair, grey skin, dark clothes and a ectoplasmic crown. He also has what appears to be a triangular hole that is bleeding? By contrast, the woman, while she also has white hair, is much more normal. While she wields what seems to be an halberd, she's wearing a long black robe, like what a priest would wear, and she seems to be breathing and blinking unlike the other. She's also tinier than he is, barely reaching to the "hole" in his torso.

   no    He says, bluntly.    i cant get hungry anyhow   

Well I can. She fold her arms, looking outraged. He stars and look down, ashamed.

   ill buy you a tuna sandwich next time   

Buy? Why not steal?

   well might as well spend the money we keep stealing.......    He says, bashedly.

Geo winces slightly. He jumps behind a house and starts winding up a Megaton Punch with his good arm, hoping Ami will keep Tahjin distracted a little longer.


Charlie forces herself to calm down, keep her breathing steady. She's already done this dance so many times that if this is a trap, William will be the victim this time.

"I-I... I'm not lost. I'm exploring, and I... hhhhhaaaaa... I found this puzzle desk that may or may not help me get my fortune told. So I wanna get the drawers open."

She shows him the handle she found, and points to the drawer that is currently lacking a handle.


somewhere else in Hub Centralis

Kirrey is eating hamburger in mcdonald when he notices the creepy fog thing. "Oh, for fuck's sake..."

He pushes his way out of the building and fires Breidablik into the air with a sound more akin to a thunderclap than a gunshot. "WHO IS DISTURBING MY 'GETTING ATTACKED BY EVIL GODS' BREAK?!"

Gebura is sent flying back, a burn forming on her face, the ground below her becoming singed... Time for her to take things more seriously.

EMOTION LEVEL UP.

Abnormality Page: Vampirism. Deal +2-4 damage and recover 2-5 hp when attacking a target with bleed (Excludes mass attacks)

Gebura moves in With two slashes, using her extreme speed to attempt to batter through her foes defenses...

  • 5 from Myo's prowess combo

She then follows by doing it again, although, due to loosing some momentum, it's not as powerful...

"If you say so"

He observed the handle, and the drawer for a few moments, before thinking

"I knew I shouldn't have left my tools at home"

He chuckled to himself before thinking about Charlie again

..... Oh there's someone look!

   ok   

The man vanishes in the mist... and re-appear in front of Kirrey nigh-instantly, looking unfazed by the shot.    It is I who has come to offer you an eternal break! I..... is that food i can smell food   

From the heavens above the woman's axe crash next to the guy, who's more interested in the Mc Donalds, and she shows up, having apparently decided to ride it like a skateboard. She gives Kirrey a wink and a smile upon noticing him. Nice gun! Consider it a compliment to your weapon that I'm ready to murder you just to acquire it!

   no wait look    The man points past Kirrey.    theres food, zadom   

? She step off the axe and hoist it over her shoulder. ... So?

   lets eat   

After killing the guy.

   no you look thin and unhealthy right now   

Well I'm not and if I were unhealthy I wouldn't be eating at fucking Mc Donalds to cure that! She snaps back, looking at him. He likewise ignore Kirrey and focus on her.

   just exorcise the fat or something but zadom youre going to grab a burger before you grab that gun    He points at her.

No!

   yes   

No!

Tahjin bursts from the ground. He rushes forwards, but Ami jumps to meet him.

"Dark power? I am a being with no inner shadow, one pure of light. To use powers of darkness...", Umbra says, at first not seeming to be up for this partnership. Though he does look thoughtful.

"... No, perhaps we can make this work. I will, however, have to introduce you to my superiors. As well as run a scan on both of us to make sure neither of us is in any danger from being bound like this. This is not up for debate. If this puts my life in danger, I must see to our separation."

Beat

"... Separation is possible, isn't it?"


In an actual moment of Viche not getting his butt handed to him, he manages to rebalance himself and dodge to the side when Oca attacks, attempting to counterattack by unleashing a Ki Blast to send Oca flying towards the horizon.

Anna is combo'd by slashes, leaving her bleeding, though as soon as Gebura lets up she simply hunkers down behind her shield again.


Vale shrugs.    "Far as I know, the only way to be separated is for one of us to die. And if you die, I'll forget that you ever existed."   


Geo comes crashing straight through the house to deliver his charged punch, aiming to send Tahjin flying over the horizon!


"Ch-Charlie. I'm... an orphan."

She attaches the handle and pulls out the drawer... but this one seems to be empty. She starts inspecting it to try and find something.


Kirrey responds "NO FUCK OFF" and deletes the siblings with a blast from Breidablik that engulfs them Zettaflare-style.

In actuality, he groans and heads back inside to finish his borgar.

"So if this situation turns out to be harmful, I'll just have to crash into something on purpose this time.", Umbra thinks to himself.

"In that case, we shall go get things settled with my superiors and get those scans done. If it's determined that this bond poses no threat to me or my allies, then we can work together to continue the mission I am already on."

Gebura, noticing her foe hunker down, moves in with a MASSIVE attack, bringing her blade over her head, stepping into position, before bringing it down like an executioner's axe, caught in the heat of battle, it looks like she's trying to split Anna in two, using a special move...

Tahjin barely has time to let out a strangled Yelp before Geo wallops him into the far, far distance in am exact recreation of their first fight.

"Woohoo!" Gg ez!


Unfortunately, Oca is still in his powered up state, meaning the blast only pushes him back a couple meters.

"Nice. I can do that too!"

He raises his hands and locks on to Viche, before deciding to pummel him with a series of Eastern Blitz blasts. Basically that thing where they fire a ton of small blasts, but more focused and powerful, like a machine gun.

For getting me the King Burger Deluxe too! Zadom walks out, leaving her brother alone to sulk in his corner. She decides to sit down in front of Kirrey, just sliding into the bench. Give me the gun please. I need it to end world hunger and save orphans.

Vale nods.    "Understood. Let's be off with your usual haste, then."   


Glowing light blue silk swirls around Anna as threads of it shoot out of her shield and fasten themselves to the ground.

Guard Edge

Bind your shield with Ironsilk threads and block an attack to power up your Gunlance for a short time.

The strings ripple as Gebura strikes the shield with her mighty blow, then retract into it, causing a glimmer to run along the edge of Anna's Gunlance. "Hah!"

She leaps into the air and fires an explosive shot down at Gebura, but then falls onto her back as blood spurts from her previous still-open wound.


Geo watches Tahjin disappear before turning his attention to his own injuries. He sits down on the ground and sighs. Welp, there go the plans for today.


"Sorry, it's a chosen one-type weapon. Can't really hand it over to anyone." Kirrey shrugs.

"Also I swear to God if you try and kill me over it I will go 'wild chimpanzee' on your ass."
