Saitonia's Retribution Arc 2: Episode 7: A Returning Enemy; Ruler Uneasiness

(Sai has received a call from Kav about an attack at the GB&P. As he arrives, he sees most of his allies there, but this attacker is revealed to be [b]Dyszkor[/b], who has escaped from the [b]Offtopica[/b] explosion, and is now causing mayhem in [b]Sakrisen[/b].) [b]Kavita:[/b] Sai, you said you've seen this android before. How tough is he? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Highly menacing. A Scale-7 at weakest. [b]Cathera:[/b] WHAT?! Kav, you know the power scaling of threats that strong?! [b]Kavita:[/b] I don't know. Like 250 million at least? [b]Saitonia:[/b] You called anyone else? [b]Kavita:[/b] Ran out of time. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Where's that Alexa? Kav, where's your brother? [b]Kavita:[/b] Alexa's in the bar, and I could care less where my brother is. Where's your sister? [b]Saitonia:[/b] In isolation. *scoffs* He's just standing there. I see typing on his chest. *transforms into [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 3. I'm waiting for him to make a move. (On the building, [b]Esadius[/b] has his wrist claws equipped against [b]Dyszkor[/b].) [b]Dyszkor:[/b] [i][u][We meet again. This time, on a planet that can handle universally destructive battles.][/u][/i] [b]Esadius:[/b] Well yeah because it couldn't handle an explosion from an [b]eraser[/b]. *black and purple energy emitting from his wrist claws* DO SOMETHING! I'm waiting for the tiniest reason to slash you up into bits! [b]Dyszkor:[/b] [i][u][You first.][/u][/i] *Gooey, black and purple energy burst around [b]Esadius[/b] before lunging at [b]Dyszkor[/b].* __________________________________________ [b][i]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/i][b] __________________________________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *Just a split second after [b]Esadius[/b] lunges at [b]Dyszkor[/b], everyone else excluding Alexa follows. The way they're attacking seems like a strategy, trying to lure [b]Dyszkor[/b] away from populated areas, and it seems to be working. [b]Esadius[/b] quickly claws at [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s torso, then jumps as far as he can to a widespread area, where they won't end up destroying anything but the ground under. The attack from [b]Esadius[/b] angers [b]Dyszkor[/b], putting him in pursuit as the others follow [b]Dyszkor[/b]. 12 seconds of chasing, and [b]Esadius[/b] has found a open field. A normal open field in [b]Terranoviatia[/b]; tall, glowing blue grass flowing, relasing glittery blue sparks.* *[b]Dyszkor[/b] tries to crash down on [b]Esadius[/b], who jumps out the way, [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s crash cracking the ground, sending a shockwave the second after. He's then suddenly jumped by everyone, minus Van, who might take a while to get there. He did get a new incarnation, so he'll have to get used to it. 4 seconds into the unified attack, [b]Dyszkor[/b] releases an explosion from his body that knocks everyone back. He then teleports right by [b]Virol[/b], and bashes him in the head with his cannon, then charges it up to take a shot, but Cas throws a disabler knife into the barrel, canceling the blast. She then teleports in front of [b]Dyszkor[/b], and sends a powerful claw attack, only pushing him back 4 feet. Cas rolls under [b]Dyszkor[/b], in attempts to disable any critical spot on his body, but he answers with a downward slash attack from his blade, causing a small explosion that forces Cas to keep her distance.* *The [b]annihilator[/b] twins and [b]Shiani[/b] make their move, attacking [b]Dyszkor[/b] in unison. Seconds later, [b]Shiani[/b] jumps back and fires a chunk of [b]Spektral[/b] Ice shards, dealing some damage, lingering for 4 seconds while the [b]annihilator[/b] twins keep up the assault. [b]Dyszkor[/b] retaliates with a short, but instant teleportation that blinds and causes the [b]annihilator[/b] twins to become dizzy. He then reactivates his cannon, but fires a Light Mode Blast, which is a swarm of white energy that depletes energy usage. The ones tagged are the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Virol[/b], and Cas, so now they'll have to resort to melee for a few. [b]Dyszkor[/b] then fires into the ground, as seconds later, beams of purple energy rain down on everyone. Most dodge, but the ones who took the most damage were the ones affected by his Light Mode Blast.* (Somewhere away from the field, a random civilian notices the purple beams raining down, and reacts by saying: "Oh, like that Prince song.") *[b]Sakiro[/b] swoops in with her signature spinning twin blade attack, fueled by purple energy. It doesn't do that much damage, as [b]Dyszkor[/b] swings at her with his blade, in which she swiftly evades, then leaps up and extends her blades to latch onto [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s shoulders, then as she's coming down, he smacks the extended blades off him, but [b]Sakiro[/b] is still coming down, so he charges up a Dark Mode Blast, and fires a swarm of black energy all over her, freezing her, a burning and cutting sensation taking over [b]Sakiro[/b], giving [b]Dyszkor[/b] the time to fire a purple beam that breaks [b]Sakiro[/b] out and sends her crashing.* *Sai cancels a barrier he has summoned over himself, Cat, and Kav. [b]Shiani[/b], who's several meters away, covering herself with a giant ice shard, notices [b]Sakiro[/b] coming down, so she freezes her, covering [b]Sakiro[/b] in ice. Then as she gets closer, she breaks the ice as she catches [b]Sakiro[/b].* [b]Sakiro:[/b] *looking back at [b]Shiani[/b]* Not now.... [b]Shiani:[/b] Romantic. *[b]Shiani[/b] lets [b]Sakiro[/b] back up as she jumps right back at [b]Dyszkor[/b], who's currently getting attacked by the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Esadius[/b],[b]Virol[/b], and Cas.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Cat, get a sense of his power. [b]Cathera:[/b] I'll try, though it's interfered by the others. *eyes glow green, getting a measurement of [b]Dyszkor[/b]'s power* He's not at full power, so I'm getting around 140 million at current display. [b]Saitonia:[/b] We'll need some ranged attacks. Kav, let's go. *Suddenly, Van arrives.* [b]Vandren:[/b] Damnit, I'm late! I'll have to get used to this incarnation. [b]Kavita:[/b] This purple android might be too powerful for you, Tommy. I'd recommend you stay back. (Sai joins in on attacking [b]Dyszkor[/b].) [b]Vandren:[/b] Remember I said I get my training out on the battlefield? Looks like I'll master this incarnation while at it. *Van joins the attack, as Kav stands there for a few seconds before also joining.* *[b]Dyszkor[/b] barely flinches from all the attacks coming at him, except from one charged up claw attack from Sai that pushes him 8 feet. The android then fires a Dark Mode Blast, but it gets blocked by a barrier from the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, who have both regained their energy use after some time. The Dark Mode Blast is overpowering the barrier defense, so [b]Esadius[/b] and [b]Virol[/b] come from behind, and with [b]Virol[/b] starting the attack, he sends a dragon manifested from his energy at [b]Dyszkor[/b], as it does a good amount of damage. [b]Esadius[/b] deals some damage to himself to transform into his Dread Reaper incarnation, then charges up his scythe as gooey, black and purple energy emits from it. 3 seconds later, he unleashes a fusillade of spinning scythe attacks that deals even more damage to [b]Dyszkor[/b], about 7 spinning strikes, sending him flying and landing just several meters away, still in the field.* *As [b]Dyszkor[/b] makes his way up, he becomes surrounded by everyone. He looks at every one, then shifts into a pod, then takes off, retreating from the fight.* [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] __________________________________________ *Everyone shifts back to normal.* [b]Esadius:[/b] Running. Away. Again. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Leave him, [b]Esadius[/b]. Back to the bar. __________________________________________ (The group returns to the bar just several seconds later. They spot Alexa, just exiting, checking if it's safe to go out.) [b]Alexa:[/b] Are we good? I-I-Is that giant purple robot gone? [b]Kavita:[/b] It ran off, Lexi. We're good. [b]Alexa:[/b] *sighs of relief* [b]Kavita:[/b] The hell was that thing? [b]Esadius:[/b] His name is [b]Dyszkor[/b]. A damn nuisance; a thorn in my side. I've encountered him 3 previous times, twice on [b]Offtopica[/b], and the first time on here, before I took the trip....to [b]Offtopica[/b]. [b]Alexa:[/b] Wow. [b]Esadius:[/b] Setting a bounty wouldn't be a problem. Actually, we'll do it now. __________________________________________ (A little later, Sai is alone. He walks down an all-too familiar alleyway. He comes across a returning side character; that shady merchant: Robin, who quickly notices Sai.) [b]Robin:[/b] *eyes partially widen, though obscured by his mask* [b]Eraser[/b] Saitonia. Haven't seen you in a year. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Same. Wouldn't expect you to still be on [b]Terranoviatia[/b]. [b]Robin:[/b] I guess I....prefer it here. *[b]Xyinz[/b] walks in on them, Robin quickly turning towards him.* [b]Robin:[/b] Oh, [b]Xyinz[/b]. I have an enhanced tracker for you. No [b]zepiks[/b], totally free. [b]Xyinz:[/b] Obliged, Robin. *looking at Sai* It seems we're familiar with this mysterious merchant. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *fake chuckle* I'm free now. [b]Xyinz:[/b] *taking the tracker, then attaches it to his right forearm pad* Onto that [b]Cryocerus[/b] Slayer. [b]Robin:[/b] So, [b]Xyinz[/b], what's your business with Saitonia here? [b]Xyinz:[/b] *glaring at Robin for a couple seconds, then answers* I've seen what he becomes in the near future. Until then, I'd say I'm a supervisor for him. I'll see what he can accomplish until he becomes...a tyrannical ruler. Then, he'll be my next target for assassination. [b]Robin:[/b] Freelance Assassin...Anonymous one.... [b]Saitonia:[/b] I don't need to be observed. I already got the SIU with a file on me. Besides, you don't think I can counterattack you? [b]Xyinz:[/b] Save it for your imminent descent. [b][u][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/u][/b]

  • [b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] [b]Saitonia:[/b] *about to retort, but just changes the subject* Let's get on with that [b]Cryocerus[/b] Slayer. [b]Robin:[/b] Before you embark on that murder mystery, you sure you don't want any of these new stock? *Robin shows a table full of new and unique gadgets and weaponry, ranging from simple pistols to more bizarre weapons.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm fine. I'll pass. [b]Robin:[/b] Not even this rare, majestic [b]Chronoia[/b]? *He holds The [b]Chronoia[/b] up in front of Sai. A large, 2-bladed silver and gold greatsword with a glowing, blue core inside the hilt, displaying random numbers and [b]Arckyvus[/b] lettering.* [b]Robin:[/b] It's more than just a greatsword. Based off of [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divines' [b]Chronovoux[/b]'s greatsword bearing a similar name, it also shares some of the original greatsword's power. With a single swing, you can be able to delay, speed up, slow down, or rewind energy waves and even attacks of your opponents. Though this greatsword is mainly suited for [b]Arckyvines[/b], preferably those who have acquired the Chrono [b]Enygma[/b]. It's like trying to tame a wild dragon if you're not an [b]Arckyvine[/b], but luckily you are. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'll still pass. I have a little special sword for myself, but maybe I'll change my mind some other time, Robin. [b]Robin:[/b] Well I'm glad you've returned to visit, Saitonia. Great journeys for you. __________________________________________ (At the mansion, with Cat, Kav, Van, Alexa, [b]Kaburo[/b], Anna, and Kyo. All are in the lobby, some watching television, while Kyo is on his computer.) [b]Anna:[/b] Kav, you didn't notify me that some android was attacking the bar. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Yeah, like how dare them? I like the Golden Bar & Pub. Eh, me and Anna wouldn't make a difference. [b]Anna:[/b] I would've brought up Tommy too, but heee..got that incarnation. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Jeez, when are we getting ours, Anna? [b]Anna:[/b] *shrugging her shoulders* Dunno. Maybe we lack the willpower for incarnations. [b]Vandren:[/b] Well I'm feeling lucky. *Kyo browses through something on his computer, something catching his eyes.* [b]Kyokia:[/b] Oh my. Cat, guys, some people and even hyperstars aren't taking [b]Liomage[/b] being ruler lightly. [b]Alexa:[/b] *petting [b]Alimus[/b]* "Hyperstar"? [b]Kyokia:[/b] Another word for a famous and/or inspiring figure. There's "hypercon", "luminite", "astrality", though that was a popular word 20 years ago. [b]Cathera:[/b] Can we see the comments, Kyo? [b]Kyokia:[/b] Come. *Everyone, excluding Van and [b]Kaburo[/b], group up behind Kyo to read some comments.* [b]Alexa:[/b] *reading the website name* "[b]Diastispyra[/b]". That's a cool name. [b]Kavita:[/b] Look at this one: "Can we make it legal to mercilessly eliminate [b]Liomage[/b] supporters? Put a bounty on all of their heads." *looking down at another comment* "Now it feels sinful calling myself a [b]Saitranovian[/b]." "Yep, I'm taking my aircraft and living in [b]Casavatia[/b]. Least they have a ruler I'm proud to support." [b]Alexa:[/b] "No [b]eraser[/b] that's proud to be an [b]eraser[/b] would accept this repulsive bullsh[b]i[/b]t." *lightly snickers* Wow. It's just like back in America. [b]Kyokia:[/b] "There are 111 rulers of [b]Saitranovia[/b] as of now. We've had some terrible rulers, but none comes close to [b]Grigon Liomage[/b]." [b]Alexa:[/b] 111 rulers? For 1 "mainland"? Holy crap! And we've only had 45 presidents in America. How many of these 111 rulers are worth knowing about? [b]Kyokia:[/b] *slowly rocking his head as he comes up with an answer* Maybe 20 of them. You wanna know the whole twist, Alexa? There's actually 112 rulers, but almost no one acknowledges [b]Terranova[/b] as a ruler, nor they don't want to. Not only because he was a tyrant, but he's a divine. He was forced off the throne by his father; [b]Terranokyve[/b], who later established a rule that divines or archdivines can't be rulers. [b]Alexa:[/b] Wow. Least it's fair. [b]Cathera:[/b] Whoa. Some of these comments are getting extreme. Kav, you have a pretty expressive vulgar side. Here's one. [b]Kavita:[/b] *looking at a comment Cat pointed out* "F[b]u[/b]ck all of you dumb[b]a[/b]ss [b]Liomagers[/b]. Y'all are officially the scum of [b]Anterranovi[/b]. Thousands of years of rulings and this was your guy to step on our throne? SN (secretly notify) me your locations so I can f[b]u[/b]cking bludgeon you." Well damn. [b]Kaburo:[/b] Sis, that's not even the most vulgar I've seen you. That's...far. Extremely far. *peeking at Kyo's computer* Hey look, actress and musician from the 90s, coming from [b]Regixisco[/b], [b]Dyphinix[/b]; [b]Yumira[/b], got her little piece. [b]Vandren:[/b] Never a fan of [b]Yumira[/b]. She sounded too "bubblegummy" for my taste. [b]Kavita:[/b] *reading this actress/musician's comment* "I've contemplated a lot on setting the Ruler's Palace ablaze." [b]Kyokia:[/b] There's hundreds more. We're not wasting time reading all that. [b]Cathera:[/b] We should probably see what's going on at the plaza, maybe? [b]Kavita:[/b] Dunno, Cat. Perhaps tomorrow or something. Probably gonna be a protest to banish [b]Liomage[/b] from ruler. __________________________________________ (A little later on, Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b] have made it to the scene of the skier's murder. The body has been removed, but a large, passable, light green dome covers the scene. Upon arrival, the 2 witness a decent amount of hunters searching the area within this dome.) [b]Xyinz:[/b] Do you really believe it could've just been an [b]ursido[/b] ([b]Terranovian[/b] bear)? [b]Saitonia:[/b] For sure not. I discussed this case with the SIU--lacerations discovered in the body proved that it happened with a weapon; something they really couldn't grab with their hands. I think the weapon was some sort of machete or hatchet. *A random hunter spots Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b], turning towards their ally hunter, and says to him: "Oh, we got more hunters helping to investigate." The other hunter replies: "Bring em all. I really think the [b]Whitefang[/b] are responsible in some way."* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Soooo, anywhere on the scene to start? [b]Xyinz:[/b] The hunters here are collecting any remaining evidence. I'm guessing some are diverting their attention to [b]Whitefang[/b], so it appears they're #1 suspect. *A male hunter runs towards the scene, shouting loud enough to get all the hunters' attention.* [b]Hunter:[/b] Hunters alike. We've just gathered some new evidence. [b]Hunter 2:[/b] Spill it. [b]Hunter:[/b] Another body, [b]Ziscerna[/b] Forest, southwest [b]Sakrisen[/b]. Except this isn't a random civilian, it's one of us. *The news the hunter has informed causes Sai, [b]Xyinz[/b], and the hunters on the scene to all stop searching. They all then gather around, preparing to head to the next scene.* [b]Hunter 3:[/b] Let's have some of us stay back, the rest of us, to [b]Ziscerna[/b] Forest. *Sai and [b]Xyinz[/b] watches most of the hunters depart from the scene.* [b]Xyinz:[/b] Well, let's see what else has been discovered in the forest. __________________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
