[i]Xavier sighs.[/i] "Okay then, come closer to me, will you?"
-
I walked closer to him, somewhat wary from the statement, but not enough to refuse anything he could give me.
-
"Okay, so... This may sting a little." [i]Xavier suddenly puts two fingers on your forehead, giving you... Something. You find yourself blacking out as he does so.[/i]
-
[i]At least it doesn't hurt[/i] was my last thought as darkness consumed my vision. I was hardly surprised by him using some weird power or ability, considering his tone. Considering what I had seen- Wait...
-
[i]Adam stands in a white canvas of a landscape. He stands on a invisible floor, which he sees more blankness below it.[/i] [i]A chainsword lies on the ground, waiting for someone to pick it up.[/i]
-
[i]I looked around at my surroundings - or lack-thereof - then at the chainsword at my feet. "Huh. Well, that actually explains a few things." I said to nothing. "So, is this some kind of psychic training sim, or are we doing a straight up mind-to-mind skill transfer?"[/i]
-
[i]Several anomalies in front of you appear. They seemed to brandish hard-light swords, looking around like they haven't noticed you. You then see a 'Ghost' of you come out of your body, picking up the chainsword, or at least, a ghost of the chainsword. The anomalies notice your ghost, but they are quickly cut down in a storm of blades, your ghost dashing to them and cutting them down one by one, in quick succession. When the anomalies fall to the ground, your ghost turns to you and nods.[/i] [u][i]Your turn.[/i][/u] [i]Several anomalies appear in front of you, again.[/i]
-
[i]"Hm. Little of a, little of b, eh? Alright, I'm game." With that, I stepped forward, grasping the hilt of the chainsword and lifting it.[/i]
-
[i]The chainsword seemed to automatically rev itself, attracting the anomalies to your presence. They get ready for battle.[/i]
-
[i]I looked around, waiting for the other shoe to drop. "Wait, are we doing this the old-fashioned, trial-and-error way?"[/i]
-
[i]Time stops for a moment. You see what order you have to slice them, and how you could manoeuvre between them.[/i]
-
[i]"Handy," I said with a chuckle, in a moment seeing the hows and whys of each movement. Rotating the chainsword in my hand in a lazy circle before settling into the beginning stance, I continued. "All that's missing now is a decent sound track. I'm thinking... Doom 4."[/i]
-
[i]Time starts to slowly move again. Might be a good time to make your move.[/i]
-
[i]"Was worth a shot," I whispered. I rolled my shoulders. "Let's do this." Then, I moved.[/i]
-
[i]You feel incredibly light in your step. Almost like you could fly.[/i] [i]Better make the first strike. The Anomaly stands, caught off guard.[/i]
-
[i]Following the guides, I struck swiftly. Not a moment wasted, not a movement pointless, each and every cut and stab flowing smoothly into the next. It was exhilarating for all that it felt as natural as breathing. Soon enough, the first group of targets were destroyed, cut down. I took a moment to savor the moment, the knowledge and skill being given to me in every instant of movement.[/i]
-
[i]The Anomalies dis saps into nothingness. Your chainsword gets replaced with a simple knife.[/i] [i]A soldier of sorts stands, his back turned behind you. A ghost of you, with your ghost knife, sneaks behind the soldier for an assassination.[/i] [i]Ghost Adam takes the soldier by the neck and arm, pushing the soldier to the ground behind him. As Ghost Adam holds the soldier down by the neck, pulling out his knife, Adam says:[/i] [i]"Get out of the way."[/i] [i]Ghost Adam then inserts the knife into the soldier's throat, then continues on his merry way. You see another example loading up.[/i]
-
[i]I cocked an eyebrow at the display, looking over the knife in my hand, before looking back at the soldier. Crouching down, I slowly made my way behind the simulation. Once there, I quickly put my hand over his mouth and sliced the knife across his throat. As he died, I slowly lowered him to the ground, making sure to muffle the gurgling gasps as he died. Once his eyes glazed over, I closed his eyes and stood up. "If you're going to go for a quiet kill, then go for a quiet kill. Anything else is pointless showmanship."[/i]
-
[i]A voice echoes through the landscape, kinda like a intercom.[/i] "Listen... I don't know if you are going to get any sort of powers or something, but I can at least prepare you for when the time comes. For now, you're going to have to use a bit of this." [i]A strange energy sparks in your hands. It looked white, transparent and weird.[/i]
-
[i]Looking over my hands, I focused, seeing if I could actually sense the energy that surrounded them.[/i]
-
[i]You definitely feel it. You feel like you could carve out any power with this.[/i] [i]You see three enemies suddenly appear in front of you, drawing their weapons. You also sense that there's also one behind you.[/i]
-
[i]Crouching down, I feed the power into my legs, feeling it strengthen them. Then, in one great burst, I leapt, launching myself high in the air. Once there, I shaped the energy into wings to keep me aloft, sprouting them from my back. Having given myself a better view of the situation as well as some breathing room, I called upon the energy yet again, this time looking for something a little more destructive. Holding out my palm, I focused, shaping and guiding the energy, before releasing it. A great bolt of lightning struck one of the targets, before leaping to another, and another. In a moment, all of them fell, smoking from several hundred thousand volts.[/i]
-
[i]The targets de-materialise, leaving nothing behind.[/i] [i]You hear a faint buzzing in the distance.[/i]
-
[i]Still in the air, I turn in the direction of the noise, sharpening my senses with my temporary powers.[/i]
-
[i]The fighter jet starts firing several heat-seeking missiles towards you, which are already homing onto you. It also starts firing it's chaingun towards your position.[/i]
