UNDER THE STEEL ROSE - A look back at our dead guild rp.

[Vexus Monite]

Kyko Syna
As the near-blinding blue flashes of light subsided, Kyko found herself alongside Ryu in a cave of sorts, lit only by a large candle lantern in Ryu's hand. The chairs they were sitting on were transported to the cave as well.

"Where are we?" Kyko asked, "And how did we get here?"
Ryu smirked.

"Connected-teleportation," Ryu explained, "It was invented by the Zirgovians during the war. The watch on my arm corresponds to the watch hung on the wall right there. As for the location, we are in one of the hidden mines of the Forest of Silence. Centriyian assassins used these tunnels to hide from Zirgovian foot-soldiers during the war."
Kyko looked in the direction Ryu was pointing, and found a watch hanging around a pike against the stone wall.

"How does it work?" Kyko asked as she stood up momentarily to look around, "Must be a binding spell."
Ryu clapped with one hand against his shoulder.

"The watches are soul-bound," he continued, "Each having essence of each other inside of them. It was a difficult process using Zenecite, but the results are marvelous. I just set the alarm on my watch, and when it goes off. -'Poof'- We are here. Works both ways, but I'm quite sure that no one knows of this cave."
They both sat down with the lantern between them.
Kyko Syna
Ryu took out the scroll and began to decifer it. Kyko detached her sword and placed it on the ground beside her, listening carefully.

"The first one, Alexander Cole. He's a bit shady," Ryu began, "From what I heard he was dead. But he seems to be making quite a transfer of...life these days. Seems to have taken on the role of a Zirgovian Student. I remember him as a decorated War-Hero in my times as a Spy. He served under the Galbadian Flag. From what I know, his soul was freed with a Revival Ritual, and he lingers in the body of another."
Kyko remained silent, awaiting more information.

"The second one, Ryuzake, is a complete quack," Ryu went on, "You probably know him for the murdering rumors of his family and village. Little know of the corrupted soul that feeds off of his body. Poor kid is only searching for a decent life, it's a terrible affliction to carry."

"The third one, ah, the one I'm most familiar with," Ryu continued, "Marcus Allan Martindale, most of the world knows of his attributes. He and his brother were both aspiring warriors, but trained seperately. I take it Marcus was pitted against his brother and paniced. I had heard he robbed the Centriyian Stronghold and murdered most of the task force there, along with nearly all the ranking officers. I almost feel sorry for the soldiers lost during that night. The skill of this boy is far greater than his years. He would have been a great asset to the war back in my days. Try to keep your distance from this one, at all costs. Oddly enough, I hear he is now a mechanic."
Kyko leaned back and crossed her arms, one of her hands against her cheek.

"The fourth one here," Ryu explained, "Saruto Ikiyuya, very self explanitory. He's a self-trained ninja from Centriyu, started off young as a child in school. His family was lost terribly, I'm sure that motivates him greatly."
Kyko nodded, a part of her unable to interrupt.
Kyko Syna
"Now to your fifth name," Ryu carried along, "Raven is a very unique girl. I had heard that as a child she had the ability to manipulate both water and shadow. Shadow, of course, a very dangerous element, may I add. They say her tears shower down as blood from her eyes. Rumor has it she murdered her parents in a furious rage. By this time in her life, she has the control of fire as well."
Kyko seemed ready to ask a question, but held in her query.

"The sixth, and final name," Ryu finished, "This Lascious, I know somewhat more about. She was the princess of Tarcovia, which, as I remember; was well fortified in the heart of the Drenol Forests in southern Licrusioa. Lascious' parents had ordered an assassination attempt upon her and her siblings. She was the only survivor of the attack that night. It is said she alone now holds the legendary Sword of Tarcovia. The kingdome, as I hear, not lays in ruin amongst other less...interesting pieces of Licrusioa's history."
Kyko sighed and finally unpursed her lips.

"Is there anything common amongst them?" Kyko asked plainly.

"Each has suffered a tragedy" Ryu explained, "Much like yourself, they have a purpose for their involvement in what is going on between the two empires. Another key aspect is their strength and power. Each of them possess abilities far greater than the average soldier or servant. As in the case of Marcus and Lascious, some of them have the ability to topple armies. Do try to stay safe if you plan on pursuing them."
Kyko nodded and took the scroll of names from Ryu's outstretched hand.

"We should get back now," Kyko suggested, "I am grateful for your help, but I need to get onto this, I really do appreciate it. I can't thank you enough."
She held out her hand.

"I'm glad to see you're alive," Ryu agreed as he took hold to her hand, "For a while, I thought we had lost you."
And as they joined at the fingers, the blue blasts and swirls of light filled the cavern, and they were whisked off once more...

RYUZAKE - THEDARKNEZZLORD

ryuzake looked around as he was passing by he saw a man in a coat and a gray undershirt tell off the gaurd "wow now thats a guy i like. he chuckled insanely "hey coppers im going to escape now is that ok? because ive become intirely bored with both of yous. the cops both started laughing at ryuzake "what what is it did i say something funny? the cop replied well theres two of us and only one of you plus your in a straight jacket what are you gonna do bite us?

SARUTO IKIYUYA - LASO WILD CHERRIES

-Saruto wanders the dirt roads in the forest trying to find his way to the shopping center- "why did I listen to that old merchant now I am completely lost" -Saruto continues wandering until he reaches an old oak tree and sighs- "guess I will rest here while I plot a new rout to the shopping center"  

[Vexus Monite]

ALEXANDER COLE - ONION RING RABBIT

As he was looking around a loud crash was heard. "what?! the sirens didn't even go off!" complained Alexander as he took cover. As he waited he didn't hear any subsequent crashes. "If that wasn't the airstrike then what could it have been?" Alexander came out of his cover and peeked around the corner where the tractor unit had gone. The man gazed in shock, the cargo had been opened and it was as he had thought, inside the crate was a mech. Though it looked as if it was a custom model mech alexander hadn't seen a pilot, the only person he saw around the crate was a young man who was laughing maniacally.

LASCIOUS - KYNDRABLADE

Thwack! the small knife hit its target, dead-center on the tree. Leaning on one knee, gazing at the ground, Lascious never seemed to watch where her weapons flew. They just did anyway. Often, almost on their own. Even as a child, she never had to throw a single book twice at a less-than-obedient servant.
But, in any rate, Lascious stood off the ground, her brow furrowed with contempt. Up since dawn, she had been the only one there, training, waiting. Awaiting the arrival of no one. Because the students of Koizumi High School were utterly useless and frivolous. They spent their time toiling away with toys and the study of pie. Just like... Like children, they acted many a time. Like the curious, playful children that ran about, cluttering the greener streets of Koizumi.
She let out a heavy scoff and resheathed the golden sword at her waist, determined to not think more on her deceived childhood. It no longer mattered anyway. The past was the past, and was not something she would be meddling in. No, that was work best left up Time-wielders and other callous fools in need of being slain. No, she thought. Now is the time for action. Now is the time for going into that Koizumi Shopping District. I need to find them.

SARUTO IKIYUYA - LASO WILD CHERRIES

-Saruto reaches into his bag, pulls out a map and starts trying to figure out where he is- "now if that is the old oak on the map then the shopping center is dew north of here" -Saruto puts the map back in the bag- "ok I better hurry if I want to get to the dorms by sunset"-Saruto begins walking again toward the shopping district-

RYUZAKE - THEDARKNEZZLORD

ryuzake stopped laughing for a second to gaze upon his mecha "ahhh killpoly its been awhile whats it been year or so. the mecha stood silently untill the eyes began to glow "yes i agree i think this town is a dump but at the less the coppers are watching my every move they sent me in here to test my powers on people. the mechs eyes glowed dark then bright every minute like it was actually talking "someone watching us? where? ryuzake looked around to see what killpoly was talking about he didnt catch a glimpse of anything "i think you've been in that crate for too long dont you? ryuzake whistled and after that the mechs auto-pilot went on making the mech step two feet away from the crate the letting out a giant almost siren like sound  

[Vexus Monite]

LASCIOUS - KYNDRABLADE

Perched atop a tree near one of Koizumi's quieter strip malls, Lascious peered down at the streets from the shadows of its gigantic leaves. You could hear the distinct c***k of her beginning to unsheath the golden blade. Her grip, normally steadied so calm on the hilt, was tight and her ashen skin whitening with rage.
It was a mecha. Lasvious cared not of the men, one rather loud, littered in the street. She cared only of the crate and that mechanical monstrosity that had broken out of it. She was determined to stop this mecha in its destructive path. the pilot of this machine, thought Lasvious, as she swooped down from the tree, is about to meet Fate's end.

SARUTO IKIYUYA - LASO WILD CHERRIES

-Saruto reaches the shopping center and wanders around trying to find the potions shop to restock his potion supply-
"hmmmmm now were is this freaking potion shop" -Saruto looks around and notices a girl in the distance- "ahh maby i should ask her" -Saruto runs over to the girl and attempts to tap her on the shoulder-  

[onion ring rabbit]

LASCIOUS - KYNDRABLADE

Lascious whirled around, far too enraged to feel her surroundings properly. The golden blade of the Tarcovian weapon thrust straight at his throat. "What are you doing?" She demanded coldly, grabbing the wrist of his hand he would have used to touch her. "Who are you? Do you know anything about this?!" Lascious gestured wildly to the mecha, still flasing red lights near the clearly insane boy. "Are you this monstrosity's pilot?!"
