| Cast of Characters: | 162, 930 |
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
It wasn't a long trip to the Ring from the Warpgate... not when Zephyr can fly, and Alden isn't exactly huge or heavy. She lands just outside, and lets the Digimon down. "C'mon, you wanted to spar, right? The Ring of Philosophy lets you go all out and not have to worry about wasting energy afterward." she says, grinning a bit at him.
The Mage walks into the Ring, and steps up to the console, tapping in a standard 'arena' to the system. It resolves into a simple white stone square slab with four pillars at the corners, in the middle of a vast open grassland/praire area.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden smiles to the mage, and offers her a hug because... why not, he was being carried after all!. "Thank you." he says happily, rumbling contently as he looked around, "This arena still impresses me." he says, carefully trying to peek at what she was doing, "Wasting energy?" he asks curiously, smiling,
"I still feel I have to thank you for your help back then, I was really impressed... one reason why I want to spar, not really hoping to get that far against you, but still wanting to see what you can do." he says eagerly. He climbs on teh area when it finishes resolving, streetching and reaching around for his card box, trying to pick a couple cards.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
Zephyr chuckles a bit. "Yeah, everything in here is virtualized by the system. You're not directly using your own skills, but a replica made by the Ring. It's really cool and goes /right/ over my head." she replies shaking her head a bit as she hops over to, and up onto the arena.
Once she's in place, she pulls her Device from its resting place on the bracer attached to her right forearm. "Divine Wind. Set-up, Drive Ignition." she intones.
Divine Wind chimes resonantly. <DRIVE IGNITION. BARRIER JACKET BREEZE MODE. DEVICE SET. MISTRAL FORM.> as she's engulfed in a shortlived sheath of purple energy. This resolves into a bright yellow and orange 'battle dress', armoured in key locations, the little coin, has turned into a hatchet-like axe, held loosely in her left hand, while a pair of floating, rotary fan-blades(Like this, but purple metal
) orbit close to her, the apertures pointed directly at Alden, like judging eyes.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden blinks at that explanation, "Really?" he asks softly, looking around again, and his D-Arc, "That sounds amazing." he says. He IS tempted to test if it works on digimons as well as it works on other creatures, but he decides to hold back a little bit. He picks the card he was looking earlier, but spends a few moments when the power up sequence happens.
"I think I will hold back a bit, just in case the energy thing does not work on digimon." he begins. He then slides the card throuhg the reader slot on his D-Arc. "Digi Modify, super evolution plugin P!". His own form is covered in a bright light, before it burts into voxels, reforming into a tall, bipedal wolf creature. (I think he should be close to 8 foot tall, given the anime, pic in the description). "Huh." he muses, looking down at his paws, not feeling quite as drained as normal.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
Zephyr grins a bit. "I'm not using my full power... Can't release my limiter without Officer permission anyway." she remarks, then steps back half a pace, spreading her stance and drawing her axe behind her, right hand outstretched with the palm facing toward the now larger wolfoid. "C'mon then, I'll let you take first swing." she says, bracing for combat.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden grins and streetches, it had been a bit since he used this form to be honest, being tall AND having hands was neat. Still, he considers his approach. "Thank you." he says happily, his tail actually wagging a bit as he prepares. "Ok then!".
He inmediatly jumps at the human, trying to remind himself she IS pretty baddass, and this is a safe place, as he rears back both arms, his purple claws glowing with energy, "Kaiser Nail!" he bellows, bringing both hands forward, slashing the air in front of him!. The claws leave trails of energy, which end up in an X shape, before shooting forward!. It is less of an explosive move, and apparently more of a 'ranged slash/punch' move.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
Zephyr digs in, back foot shifting and her weight moving forwards as that attack comes roaring in at her. She waits, then with a kiai, slashes her Device forwards to intercept it, the edge glowing its own dark shade of purple. <MISTRAL CUTTER!> comes the chime as attacks meet, and forces the girl back, feet breaking the flagstones beneath her as she's pushed backwards.
She shifts her grip, and finally deflects the rest of the strike away, into one of the pillars, which gets pulverized quite neatly. A gasp, then a big grin. "Not bad... pretty fancy shot..." she offers, then takes the haft of her Device in both hands, drawing it out to more easily grasp it as such. "Here's an easy one."
She does a priouette, trailing a 'ribbon' of purple energy behind the head of her Device, before she sends her own ranged cutting attack right back! <TEMPEST RAZOR!> announces Divine Wind, as spinning purple 'blades' of energy spall off of the edge of the axe blade, and fly in like boomerangs at Alden!
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden grins, certainly did not expect less from Zephyr, "Thanks." he says, jumping back to make some distance, and crouching a bit, reaching for the card boxas he sees her prepare her move!. He is really not prepared to block attacks, at least, not a barrage!, so he does the next best thing. "Digi Modify! Gallantmon! Aegis!".
There is a burst of light on his left arm, a large round shield materializing on it!. It is mostly silver, with a golden border, foreign symbols running around the edges, and a sun built of triangles as the mark in the center. The shield seems a bit too large, and heavy!. But the thing IS hard, the projectiles slamming onto the shield, and pushing the digimon back, but not managing to break through!.
When the barrage ends, the shield seems mostly intact, some scrape marks, and a small crack. Alden drops the shield, shaking his left arm. It lands with a rather loud metallic noise, before it bursts into voxels, "Wow,that was a great move." he mumbles.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
"One of my staples." replies Zephyr, as she kicks up off the ground to hover a couple of feet up. "Those cards of yours, lot of flexibility in your fighting style there." she remarks. "Gotta say, I'd have had a lot of trouble with that Aragami if you weren't there."
She doesn't attack, it's not her 'turn' as it were, after all.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden smiles, "Only if I have the hands, and time to use them." he says softly, "And they wear me out fast if I abuse them." he says quickly, watching her float on the air, rubbing his chin. "Hmm, let's try something else." he mumbles. "Thanks, I was going all out there, glad it was enough to help." he says. He is aware she is holding sharp weapons, and going meelee is crazy, but he decides to try regardless!. He charges towards her, and jumps high, "Foxfire!" he screams, a stream of flames coming out of his mouth, aimed at her!. &r
The attack does not seem quite as strong as teh last one, even if the flames might be dangerous... and the reason is clear within an instant, the digimon trying to use teh fire blast as a screen, trying a flying roundhouse kick, a faint energy glow surrounding his bare foot as he does it, "Garuru kick!"
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
Zephyr falls for the feint.... at least partly. <RAMPART AEGIS!> chimes Divine Wind, a bubble of purple energy forming to absorb the incoming flames. It begins to crack and creak almost immediately... not a very strong defense... which only proves more true when that kick comes in. The bubble shatters like glass, and the Mage is send flying sideways, slamming into the pillar on the far side, causing it to crumble down.
It looks like she's down for the count, until the rubble explodes outwards, and from the dust, surges the Mage, trailing that line of purple mana again. <MISTRAL CUTTER!> chimes Divine Wind, as Zephyr aims to axe Alden a very deeply cutting question!
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden seemed a bit concerned when the mage crashes into a pillar, he knows most humans get really hurt from things like that!. Of course, his worries are put to rest when the mage bursts out, and he has an axe aimed at him!. He does not have time for a card, so he tries the only thing he can think off!. "Kaiser Nail!" He charges his claws with energy, and manages to produce the X projectile in time to meet the edge of the Axe!. Unlike last time, it seems Alden does not manage to quite put as much 'strength' into it, the collision sending him flying back several feet, but at least he did not get cleaved!. He hits anoher pillar, not quite hard enough to destroy it, but it still looked painful.
Alden picks himself up "I need to either get a melee weapon, or hit from range." he muses. He reaches for the deck again, picking a card, and sliding!. "Digi Modify Beelzebumon! Berenjena!". A pair of sawed-off shotguns appear, one on each hand. He aims them at Zephyr, and presses the trigger several times, each shot sending a slug flying towards the human!.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
<EVADE!> "No time!"
The quick exchange heralds another shield, this one taking the form of a rhomboid spell seal interposed between the Mage and the Digimon. It manage to stop all of three of those slugs, the rest chipping it apart and breaking through to slam into her body armour. Smoke rises from the impact sites, and the mage lowers to the ground, panting a bit from the exertion.
<IMPULSE CASCADE!> intones the Device. Motes of light form up around the Mage, grow to about the size of oranges, then with a point forwards of the Mage's device... they spit out a torrent of smaller 'bullets' that would probably make a Gensokyo resident nod in appreciation. "I'll show you /my/ Danmaku!" she says, a little tongue-in-cheek.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden grins, the guns, after firing a sizable number of projectles... more than they had the right to have in them, are discarded, spent. Alden was panting as well, brushing his paws together, getting ready for the next attack. Bullet hell, why did it have to be bullet hell!. And he was without his big shield!, "Hope this works..." He fishes a card rapidly, "Digi modify... Speed chip!".
For the next few seconds, Alden seems to move as a blur, like he might actually dodge the barrage, perhaps enough to make said Gensokyo residents nod at him as well!. Suddenly, his burst of speed fades as he tried to step aside the final third of the attack, the tiny bullets landing all over his back and sides.
Now, his hide IS tough, very tough, but multiple impacts hitting quickly still hurt, falling to the ground with smoke raising from his fur, "Ouch." comes from him, "I'd say it's my pride that hurts the most, but that would be a lie." he mumbles.
- Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
"I think that's enough for now..." she says, falling to a knee and panting a bit. "How about we go get something to eat huh?" she suggests, dismissing her Barrier Jacket and Device, returning to her 'civillian' outfit, which is actually her TSAB Ground Forces uniform.
- Alden (930) has posed:
Alden tries to raise on his feet, before he lets out a yip, seeming to shatter, and revealing back the gabumon form once again. He shakes himself, and the fur coat, grumbling softly as he moves closer, "Yea.... we should try again sometime, it was fun." he says, his tail wagging slowly, "Eating sounds great right now."
