Lutia adjusts her scarf standing a fair distance away from Viva.
"Ready?"

well don't get over confident icon_wink.gif

Viva cracks his neck and nods. He crosses his arms and waits.

Lutia reaches behind herself and takes a defensive posture holding her mana gun and dagger at ready.
"I will let you make the first move since im your leader."

Viva bows his head fora momnet. "Very well." He suddenly leaps back and lands 200 yards back. He takes off one of his gloves and slashes his palm with his dagger. He then begins to draw something on his palm with his
own blood.

Lutia fires her mana gun at the ground below Viva while switching out her dagger for her Chomp Pole.
He has super human strength but his abilities of worth on the battle field is knowledge of ancient technology and a small array of combat magic making him a dangerous oponent.

Viva leaps up high into the air and finishes the seal. The moment he lands he points his left palm towards the ground and grabs his left wrist.

"Edenian saga'ru'ti: Cardo Ber'nay ti sor Kal-le-mar!" ((Immortal technique: Blood Summons of the Kal-le-mar))

Five flares of white fire appear around him and resolve into five massive armored war tigers. The tiger split off into diffrent direction and form into a loose circle around her.

Casting the Chomp at one of the tigers it making contact with its neck drawing Lutia to it before its neck is snapped.
Firing four shots in succession at Viva she switches out her gun and chomp pole with the shroom lance and a dagger, standing before the dead tiger she waited for an opening calculating her opponents methods.

The dead tiger vansihes in a blast of white fire hitting Lutia with the blast. Viva watches as the bolts come at him. He calmly swing his halberd in front of him and deflects three of the shots. He ducks down under the fourth and slams his palm into the ground. "Magmus." Nothing apparently happens. Three of the tigers surround Lutia in a loss delta pattern while the largest of the tigers, a white snow tiger moves behind Viva.

Leaping forward to avoid the blast of fire Lutia recovers in a roll slashing at one of the tigers with her lance connecting with its back legs.
I see now.
Switching out her dagger for the mallet she swings connecting with one of the tigers sending it flying in Viva's direction.

The tiger flips though the air and lands on its feet. The wounds on its legs heal rapidly and it charges foward with two other tiger. As the tigers close in form three sides, the tigers take in a large breath before exhaling a three sub zero blasts of air laced with powerful ice magic. Viva meanwhile remains in the same postion with his palm placed on the ground. If one were to look closely they could see a faint red light on the outline of the ground.

Switching out her mallet for the gun quickly she leaps out of the way avoiding it in an acrobatic feat just barely (not good at describing the exact body positioning.)
Getting off two shots at the trio of tigers while changing her shroom lance for her chomp pole.

The tigers jump away from the shots but they don't move towards Lutia. The reason why soon becomes apparent the moment Lutia lands. The ground suddenly explodes as a powerful jet of lava shoot up at her form below.

If Lutia had been there a moment longer she would have been in grave danger. Fortunatly while she was in midair she had cast her Chomp pole making contact with the ground a distance away and was dragged away before the lava could make contact.
It looks like its time I took this fight to close range.
Switching out her gun for her shroom lance she runs forward casting the chomp pole again this time directly at Viva while holding the lance before her.


the gorund rumbles around her as more jets of lava explode all around her.
Viva looks up and smiles.
"Magnami"

A massive curtain of lava explodes form the ground completely circling Lutia. The curtains raises hundreds of feet in the air before it slowly start to collapse inward. In only a few seconds Lutia would be buried in a sea of lava.

Knowing her Shroom lance would not be adequate protection Lutia puts away the pole, its line melted and puts on the Kinetivity ring. Closing her eyes for a moment Nearly seventy beads fly out of the ring and shield Lutia with an elecromagnetic barrier as a small number of additional beads extend this wall beyond the burning curtain.
Not bad.
The Chomp makes contact with Viva biting down onto his side just under the right arm with its metallic teeth, A few of which break off from the mawers mouth.

The lava drops down around her coating her in a dome of lava .Viva looks down at chomp. He reaches down with his free hand and start to crush it with his tremendous strength. He looks up and sees the lava covered dome.
"Aquas"
The lava is covering the shield is soon covered by a layer of water. Soon the lava hardens into a extreamly thick layer of obsidian stranded in a lake of lava. Inside the sheild the temperature sky rockets and the air becomes thin as the heat burns up what little oxygen was left inside with Lutia.
Losing half its teeth the Chomp releases Viva after folding the ribcage inward and snapping his shoulder blade. The Chomp flops away.

Lutia walks through the gap outside of the lava that her shield created and removes her ring. Replacing it with the chomp pole she casts out the line letting it conneect with the Chomp brining it back to her care.

((she trapped in a dome of obsidaian surrounded by a lake of lava, she won't be able to cast a line untill she breaks thought the dome))

((You overlooked the part back when the lava was coming down where she extended the beads to form a shield through the curtain of flying lava. She expected to be trapped and created a counter to it before you had a chance to use the water spell.))

((yeah but wouldn't the lava still coat the top of the shield? bah doesn't really matter Lutia still couldv'e gotten out anyway so i'm not going to dwell on it. ))

Viva moves quickly. He grabs chomp as he starts to fly back to Lutia. He braces his legs and pulls with all his strenght. There were four possiable outcomes. One Lutia lets go of the chomp pole, two Lutia tries to hold on to the chomp pole which would end most likely with her arms being ripped off, Three the string snaps, Four Chom is torn in two. Meanwhile his bones reset and heal. Chomp did some damage but not enough to cause viva any worry.

The teeth left inside of Vivas wound come to life. Sprouting mouths the teeth begin to dig pathwats through Viva's body chewing through bones, blood vessels and muscles. One of them eats a hole through his lung.
Eventually the teeth would grow and become small Mawers growing as they consume more substance.
Clever.
Switching out her Shroom Lance for her Mana Gun Lutia leaps into the air and fires a concentrated burst. the force of the blast combined with her smaller frame send her rocketing towards Viva.
The Chomp squirms in Viva's grasp.

Viva instantly know what is going on inside his body. He give Chomp one last squeeze before hurling him into the lake of lava. He notices Lutia flying right towards him. He instaly devises a plan. Viva explodes into tendrils of water letting the teeth turned mawers drop on the ground. Then tendrils shoot through the air right towards Lutia at the last moment Viva reform and grabs Lutia by the throat. As the they both fall to the ground he hurls her down with all his might.



((Viva can turn into water? When did this happen?))
With the speed of an expert quickdraw Lutia puts away her mana gun and bends her body twisting her legs around Vivas arm. Using her free hand to catch the ground she rotates flipping the both of them with Viva's own strength letting him take the ground impact with the back of his head.
With the pole still reeling the Chomp was saved from the fall and continues her journey back to lutia.
The mini mawers now without substance burrow into the ground looking for nutrients.

((thats a old ability i very rarely use it. Viva can't really transform, but by flooding his body with water magic he can change up his molecular structure to water. It not really useful except as a stealth, and only so when its raining. He uses it sometimes for defense but not very often))
Viva extends a arm above his head and lands on his palm he pushes off flipping up and away. He spin in the air burning off the momentum of his own throw and lands on the ground. He make eye contact with Lutia. It was only for a split second but it was all he needed for his next spell.
"Aquatus."
Lutia now starts to experince a dull headeache and her eyes start to be become slightly sore but that is all that seems to happen. Little does she know that that spell allows Viva to adjust the water in some ones body, to oh lets say, increase the pressure of the Cerbro-spinal fluid surrounding the brain till it crushes the orgarn, or increase the pressure in someones eyes till there eyes burst. Over time the headache will grow worse and the her eyes will start to hurt more and more till either she can find a way to stop the spell or she dies.
Viva stands ready waiting for Lutia to make the next move.

The glasses glow as if reflecting bright light for a second and return to normal.
Hmm. It apears he was trying to use some form of eye magic.
The chomp returns and on cue Lutia switches out her Chomp pole for her dagger and draws her jutte.
Stabbing Viva's arm with the curved dagger to get her neck free she nearly slices it clear off. Simulatiosly she swings the Jutte at Vivas skull sounding a dull ring as it moved.
((In case you have not noticed Lutia's weapons have a variety of uses.))


((yeah i notices....whats a jutte? never heard of it before...well ...maybe under a diffrent name but still))
Viva lets go of Lutia as her dagger comes down. He gets a nice gash on his arm from the dagger, but he was focusing on other things. A small smile play across his lips as he see the jutte aimed for his head. He ducks under quickly and spins on his heel placing him behind Lutia. Before she can react he wraps a powerful arm around her neck with her chin resting in the crook of his elbow. He paces is other hand on her forehead. She fell right into Viva's specialty, and given him a perfcet chance to break her neck. He doesn't though mainly starts to choke her.

((Picture a square shaped rod with a single sai-like arm. It is designed to catch swords and was used by Japanese policmen back in the day. The one Lutia uses can actualy shatter a weapon it catches or disable it though it has a catch to it in that it is incapable of killing a person.))
Stabbing again at the wounded hand Lutia swings upwards with the Jutte connecting with his head. The dull ringing would sound in his ears for a few short minutes causing havoc with his equilibrium.
Viva would begin to feel pain in his feet as the mini mawers from before came out of the ground and burrowed through his shoes into his feet.

Viva steps back for a moment. He shakes his head clearing the ringing in his head. He growls as the mawers bite in to he his feet. He leaps back and lands in the lava. He starts to draw in the lava and incinerated the mawers in his body. He leaps far back putting alot of distance between the two. He starts to draw on a large amount of magic for one of his stronger attacks.


Switching out her dagger for her shroom lance, Lutia throws it with alot of strength sending it flying at Viva.
As it began its flight she switches out the Jutte for the mallet mach 2.
Most of the Mini mawers are incinerated by the blast except for two (one in each leg) that had matured to the point where they began to grow there supiriour coating. They had managed to grow to the size of golf balls and were leaving clear gaping tunnels in Viva's body. before long his legs would probably just cave in on him.

Viva looks up and is forced to revet back to water. The lance passes right through and gets stuck in a tree nearby. Viva reforms and picks up the two mawers. The wounds in his legs had healed forcing him to use some of his reserve energy. He looks at the two mawers for a moment before they are engulfed in a a blast of light vaporizing them.
"Troublesome creatures."
He finally gather enough power for the spell.
"Edea Bisor Aquatus Draco: Sargi ti sor Aquai" ((Eternal Twin Tidal Dragon: Dance of the Waves.))
The ground underneath Lutia explodes hurling her hundreds of feet up into the air with tons of earth as two massive water dragons shoot out of the ground twisting in a double helix motion.

Lutia activates the mallet mach II using its steam power to propel her towards towards the dragons. Drawing her curved dagger she cuts at one of the dragons following the point from there tail to there neck.
The shroom lances flight released a large amount of spores into the air that were slowly settling all along the area.

Lutia attempt to harm the dragon has no effect The contuine to spiral upwards. Small little glowing embers appear around Viva as the spore nearby him are incinerated by fire magic. ((He's using alot more magic based attacks than normal. )) icon_sweatdrop.gif
Switching out her dagger for the ring she puts it on to create a powerful barrier around herself. Swinging the mallet mach II with all her might the steam powered hammer sends her spiraling into the living wall with the shield at full strength.

((Might be because Lutia trumps him in normal combat abilities.
Is it just me though or do most of Vivas spells use up alot of latent magical energy?))

((Wall? what wall? and actually i think Viva might have the edge in close combat. Lutia is more agile, but viva is faster and stronger, yeah you has a seperate store of energy for magic.))

((The dragons are circling her in an upward spiral forming a living wall in a sense.
Even then Viva is using fighting styles that would take up alot of magic and stamina. While a very powerful race probably able to kill untold numbers with these abilities I have trouble imagining his tactics having the same level of effectiveness against a single opponent who is equal to him.
No offense meant its just that his battle style looks like it was built for militia purposes.))

((well you see the spell is a two pronged attack. It summond to draons made of water the explode form the ground and hurls eneimes though the air, then the dragons slam into the ground and create a tidal wave of water. I'm waiting for Lutia to hit the ground before the spell is competed. She can't distrupt spell by mearly attacking the dragons. And no offense taken. True viva is designed for mass battles and not one on one sparring. but agaisnt solo opponents he usally overwheams them with sheer force and speed, but with Lutia's agility it places them on equals. Though when Viva turn into his Ancient form his hand to hand attacks have a radial effect due to the shockwave he produces from sheer brute force. I think Viva in human form is at least a even fight for Lutia if not her being slightly better due to the fact she can avoid most of his straight forwards attacks, but she's still supectiable to his counterattacks. In Ancient form though I'm sure Viva has her beat in close combat. A near miss could still shatter every bone in a human's body, and unless Lutia has some sorta restitance then she would suffer heavy damage rather quickly if she goes one on one with a Ancient. You'll see what I mean with Najah's test. If you would like to postpone the fight till after Najahs's test so you can get a better idea of a Ancient's hand to hand abilites then I'm willing to put it on pause.
((But she is wielding a mallet that is steam powered. She is literaly flying in the air right now so long as she is wielding it.
No im fine. Lutia has three or four trump cards handy still, not to mention she has managed to think a step ahead so far without a clear idea of Viva's abilities beforehand.))

((yeah but even still all she could really do is pass right though the dragons. At best I see this being a draw so far. Lutia injured Viva more true, but nothing he haven't healed...Besides who hasn't said that Viva hasn't been holding back some of his trump cards as well. icon_twisted.gif ))

((Then you should have no problems with Lutia escaping through there radius.
No matter how you shake it regeneration has its limits. You can only take so much damage before fatique catches up to you.
If your other trump cards are like what I have seen then it should be adequate.))

((true, but the advantage of the Ancient's life cycle is that because his body "absorbs" others souls he has, and i can say this with certinatiy, the largest amount of stamina and energy than any other of the Jarians. Viva has killed thousands during the many wars in the Western Front so he has thousands of souls he can use as energy. Now this would almost seem limitless, but when faced with several high damaging attacks back to back in rapid sucession will start to drain his reserves quickly. That and spritual attacks can "destory" the souls he has absorb further decreasing his amount of stamina. But as far as I know of Lutia doesn't have any spritual attack so she must resort to laying heavy damage on him. And he hasn't used his most powerful spells yet...well..the Spell that is going on currently is one, but I can't really move on till Lutia lands. ))

((Like I said she was moving through it and you said they there was nothing stopping her from passing through.

Lutia can keep at her current pace all day.

oh icon_xd.gif bosque has a great profile ready...
when your both ready jump right in
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=10841463))

((ready when she is...so one last question before we get to the battle. That barrier she has is electro magnetic right?))

((The one she is using right now is. However the Kinetivity ring can use two or three other forces electro magnetism is just the most practical.))

Switching out her dagger for the ring she puts it on to create a powerful barrier around herself. Swinging the mallet mach II with all her might the steam powered hammer sends her spiraling past the dragons with the shield at full strength.

Viva watches as she spins though the air. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a small metal ball. He flicks his thumb over a small crystal panel and the device start to make a low whine which soon increases in pitch untill a loud pop fill the air form the polarized EMP shorting out her barrier. The moment its down Viva raise a hand letting lose a beam of light. From his point of view the beam seems to hit but he waits for the air to clear form the explosion to see if he got her.

The moment Lutia saw the beads shield flicker out she kicks the handle of the mallet mach II sending it spinning in the oposite rotation avoiding the oncoming attack. Switching out the ring for the Mana gun Lutia lets it soak up any access energy from the light spell, purifies it into raw mana and fires it back downwards at Viva.
Not taking any chances Lutia banks downwards following after it at high speed.

((there is no magic required in Viva light based attacks. well except in the Solairis. Viva can absorb, or generate light in Ancient and Ascendant form, then ampifly and concentrate the light inside his body before relaseing it as sort of laser from his hands. So I'm Just going to assume that she just dodged it then is now charging Viva)) Viva grins. He quickly dispell the two dragons getting back some of his magic . He finally unslings Sol'fer'luna form his back and pumps light into the weapon. The blade glows slightly. He then slashes the air and creating a crescent of energy flying right towards Lutia. He follows with 6 more crescents. At Lutia's current speed it would be extreamly hard for her to dodge without suffering from extreme G force which could cause her to black out.

((Fine. Though magic is not that simple a force it exists in air, light, living things. The mana gun draws in such power, purifies it and fires))
Not bad Viva, not bad at all.
Lutia kicks the mallet mach II again setting off one of the jets in the head. Going off the mallet does a high speed turn smashing into the first cresent slash and and breaking it. The force of the deflection was enough to divert her from the path of the other six without slowing her greatly.
Rockets on the head activate stopping her feet above the ground.
"Not bad. Do you have anything else?"


((ah you see though that one of the hang ups of some rps. People idea of things differ for instance what i consdier magic is differnt. Magic is a latent power within people that can be use to manipulate and alter the world around them. It exist within all sentient beings and certain creatures attune to magical energy. but either way doesn't matter. Even if she did fire the shot Viva would've just defeclted it. ))
Viva just keeps smiling. He gives a low whistle. Suddenly the four remaining tigers he summoned at the start of the fight appear and latch onto each of Lutia's limbs holding her still.
Viva hold his arms out in front of him.
"Edea Trigor Inferi Draco: Trigor Inferi Zar're ti sor Ragour'rou." ((Eternal Triple Flame Dragon: Triple Flame Blast of the Guardians))
Suddenly white and blue fire cover his arms and form into two gaping dragon heads. Viva inhales deeply. The two flame dragons heads on his arms let out a intense concentrated stream of white fire heading right for Lutia, Viva exhales a split second later letting out another stream of fire form his mouth.

((Yeah. arguments of magic are not so diffrent from people from two diffrent worlds with an entirly diffrent set of physics.
Though one popular idea is that there are two types of magic, that from within yourself and that drawing from outside forces.))
A jet of steam fires from Mallet Mach II killing the tigers gripping onto her left leg and arm. Kicking the mallet again she is pulled to the right avoiding the blast.
After she escapes it she twitches out the mallet for her curved dagger and cuts the throat of the one holding her arm.
This will no doubt hurt.


The three streams of fire just miss Lutia. The one form Viva's mouth detonates into a massive inferno, the ones form his arms suddenly arch sharply and impact Lutia catching her in a titanic blast of white hot fire.
Viva watches calmly. He was panting a bit though. That attack always did a massive drain on his magical energy. At this rate he would run out of magic soon and would be forced into hand to hand.

Painfully Lutia reaches down grabbing the last of the tigers like a weapon and lifted him effortlessly infront of her. The blasts hit the tiger head on and knocked her backwards from the after effect.
My resources are limited so I need to save them a little longer...
Noticing a gash in her arm Lutia tears off a bit from her scarf and ties it over the wound. Drawing her normal mallet she props herself up and stares at Viva unflinching. Her curved dagger in hand she waits to see what he would try next.

Viva's right hand reaches over and grabs his dagger as well. He chokes up on his halberd handles weilding it more like a ax now. He smiles for a moment. He takes his dagger and places the blade between his teeth. His right hand dips into a pocket before coming up with a handful of small cylindrical devices. Gripping his halberd tighter he charges at Lutia.

Lutia tilts her head for a moment and snaps her fingers making a small flame apear for a moment before flickering out. With a steadying breath Lutia runs forward and makes a swing with her mallet at Viva.

Viva raises his dagger to intercept her mallet, the Anceint made dagger slicing clean though her mallet. Having blocked her attack he stabs forward with his halberd.

Switching out her ruined mallet for the jutte she catches the halberd and twists it out of Vivas grip. No matter his strength once a weapon is caught by this jutte they would either become disarmed or break the weapon.

She is able to twist the weapon away form Viva but not without the jutte being badly damaged by the halberd's incredably sharp blade. Viva plants and foot and spins on his heel getting behind her, then using his superior speed to drive his dagger into her shoulder blade.

Lutia senses the weapon behind her and uses her faster arm movement to counter with her dagger. A weapon layered with dozens of compatible spells would be about equel in quality to an ancient weapon.

Meanwhile an unseen form pulled the shroom lance from its tree a distance away.

Even though Lutia's dagger was able to get there in time, Viva sheer strenght pushed the blade aside, but she was able to defect the blow enough for him to leave a gash on her back instead of a stabbing her clean though. Viva steps back and raises a hand. Light starts to buildup on his palm as he perpared to lauch another beam, this time at point blank range.
((hope Viva is putting up enough of a challenge for Lutia. icon_sweatdrop.gif ))

((You have disabled two of her weapons and forced her to get serious. This is the most challenge Lutia has ever had.))
Now would be a good time.
Before Viva had time to register it Lutia switches out her dagger and jutte for the Mallet Mach II and the ring. Kicking the mallet to raise her into the air the beads fly out of the ring and form behind her.
It begins to rain...

Viva looks up. The rain pours around him. The place is soon covered with steam form rain hitting the lava, decreaseing the visablity. Viva grabs his halbered and looks up waiting to see what Lutia was up to.

he spores that fell down earlier began to make there effects known. Before a number of them had burned up when they neared Viva but the location he was standing at had a large number of them...Suddenly all at once a number of the mushrooms sprouted from the ground like bladed umbrellas cutting into the bone and threatening to amputate his feet. It would not be good for him to gall over in a time like this with so many of those shrooms all around him.

Viva teleports away and into the lava lake. He looks around for a moment.
"Very well, if you want to play like that."
Viva raise his hand to the sky.
"Aquas." Suddenly the rain falls harder and harder till the rain streaks down like thousands of bullets falling from the clouds. The rain drops turned weapons easily cut down the forest of mushroom spores.

The beads cluster over lutia forming a strong physical canopy to protect her from the rain.
He should be out of magic shortly.
Hanging in midair she waits to see Viva's next move.

True Viva was low on magic, but unknowingly, makeing it rain only gave him a advantage. If she was paying attention she would notice that even though rain was hitting viva he didn't seem in the least bit wet. The reason why is that he was absorbing the rain hitting him and re-energizing himself. Though it would be hard to see him though the thick layer of steam.
((Sorry, but Lutia made a huge strategic error by making it rain ))

((Lutia cannot use magic you know that.))
Lutia in her defensive canopy watched as her plan came together.
Lightning arced through the sky coming down on Viva. Being more easily damaged by elements such as lightning it would cost him. Once the lightning struck the rain began to disipate leaving as suddenly as it came.
Lutia stayed skyward waiting for the fog to disperse.
Looks like it is time for the next step.


((then how did the rain start? doesn't matter really. ))
Viva, now completely refreshed from the rain streaks forward. The lighting missing him for the most part. A few bolts came close but he was able to dodge them. Still covered by the layer of steam, which didn't seem to lift, he manages to position himself perfectly. He gathers up some of his renewed magic energy.

"Elec'tri." ((lightning or electricity)) Suddenly the ground-to-cloud lighting streaks up to Lutia form below.

((Hold it.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=10575613
Look on that profile. When did he get lightning?))

((lookunder Powers and Ablities. He can use any of the 12 elemental types but he is naturally stronger in Fire, Lava, and Water. ))


((Completly refreshed from the short rain fall as well. No offense but with such a powerful character how can he have any battle of interest?))
Lutia makes a spin to the side avoiding the lightning and focuses on her oponent once more.
Now.
The shroom lance plunged into Vivas back as its mysterious wielder appeared.
Grenade the armored ball and user of basic magics such as rainfall and lightning hit the lance causing its blades to extend outwards.
This would be one time Viva would regret having fast regeneration.
(If confused look back a number of posts to when Lutia snapped her fingers.)
Touching back down onto the ground Lutia was joined by Grenade who hovered over her shoulder as the pair pause to catch there breath.

((Well Viva can gain a type of "feild advantage" when fighting in areas such as near a ocean, wildfire, or volcano. Lutia was wearing him out quite well, it was just a mistake making it rain. She should also try to keep him away form the lake of lava as well. Viva can absorb water, fire or lava in large amounts to repleash his strenght, now this is not saying that a campfire will restore him or a puddle of water. It require large amounts to fully restore him. I thought that it was going to keep raining so i jumped the gun by saying he was fully refreashed. He did recover a good chunk of energy form the rain, but not compelty refreashed, he can proably pull one maybe two of his more powerful spells before he runs out of magic but he still has his regular reserve of energy which as of so far he has been using to heal. If Lutia can get him to use up all of his magic then he will be forced to either enter close combat or use his light attacks for long range. Now if you can find a way to solidify the lava lake then he won't have a source to keep replenishing his power. But also be warned that if he turns Ancient some, not all maybe around a quater, of his magic will return. ))
Viva grunts as the lance stabs him though. He pull the lance out receiving electical burns to his hands. His gloves protect him some but not compelty. He crushed the lance and sets it on fire with a small fire spell. Tossing the ruined weapon away. He looks back at the Lutia and gernade. A large burnt hole was visable in his abdomen.
((remember there is a layer of steam covering the field now so visablity will be bad ))

((Well it is a moot point since Viva created the lava lake. He can create the locations of any element he needs to instantly regenerate making him virtually immortal without the addition of ancient and accendant abilities.))
Grenade launches into action firing a load of battle jelly into the air to blanket the area. Lutia switches out the mallet out for the mana gun and fires a large burst at Viva.

((maybe so , but that is something that i don't take advandtage of on purpose to make things more fair. I usausally don't have viva change the enviorment to contuiningly replenish his power it is very rare that i do that. ))
Viva quickly equips his halbered and runs though a series of caculations before swinging his halbered and defecting the shot right towards gernade. He wasn't sure what the battle jelly did, but he had a clue.

((On the other hand unless it was a continuous water flow it would have hardened the lava. and didnt he lose the halberd?))

((thats ture..you know what? lets just say that is was soldified in the rain. I wasn't planning on replenishing form it anyway, and yeah but he picked it back up when Lutia went airborne. You know we are going to have to save this battle somewhere its one hell of a fight icon_whee.gif ))

((Thanks. Oh quick question, he can shut down various organs right?
Yeah. this battle is worth saving. I have almost used half the tricks in Lutias arsenal.))
There was a foul smell across the battlefield as the battle jelly did its work. If Viva looked down he would notice that one of his shoes had almost been eaten away by a crude acid.
Floating in midair Grenade easily avoided the mana shot. with some violent shaking a gale of wind burst towards Viva.
As Grenade kept Viva busy Lutia pulls a scroll from behind her back.
Two left after this.
She opens it bathing herself in a healing light recovering all of her injuries up to this point.

((yes, Viva can sustain himself for a time even after multiple organ failure. He can also shunt off damaged or posioned parts of his body to stop blood flow or the flow of poison. It is a aspect that make him well suited for mass combat often throwing off his attackers who would normally have just delivered a terminal injury he shurgs off for the most part. yeah, I've use up most of my attacks though i still have Ancient form which he hasn't turned into yet, so he still has several large tricks up his sleave.))
"Terra!" A large rock shelf raises out of the ground blocking him form the wind attack. Using this time viva looks down at the acid. Thinking quicky he adjust the chemicals in his body to the effect of changing the ph scale of his blood. He then slices a artery and directs the blood flow onto the acid neturlizing it. He heals the wound and adjust his ph scale back to normal.

((And just for curiosities sake did the rain restore both his magical ability and body recovery stamina?))
Grenade shakes about again sending another bolt of thunder raining from the sky.
Holding her Mallet Mach II and Jutte ready Lutia makes a run towards the rock shelf.

((no its only one or the other. If he has two sources to draw from at the same time then yes, but how often does it rain in the middle of a wildfire? He has to chose which type of energy he wants to restore, unless he has more than one source but like i said it quite rare.))
Viva punches the rock wall causing it to shatter into several razor sharp shards and blast them right towards Lutia. Viva vanishes in a blast of white fire.

Lutia switches out the jutte for the ring using the beads to protect her from the debris.
Grenade a distance away was able to avoid it without effort.

Viva suddenly appears behind Grenade. Unfourtuntly for the summons Viva manges to get his hands on him and begins to crush him.
The strong metal protecting Grenade was enough to protect him from Viva's impressive strength for a few minutes. At close range it casts a wind spell to tear and rip at Viva.

Lutia meanwhile turns around as though in communication with Grenade and switches out the ring for her chomp pole. Casting the line in the fog she readied her mallet.


((oh yeah i went back over some of my post and i have a answer for the whole " abosrbing to restore his power thing" Viva can't like create a wildfire then use it for a power source. It was one of the limitations i place on him. But it if occurs naturally, or is created by someone else then its fair game. Therefore, Viva couldn't use the lava lake for power since it was created by his spell, but the brief rain grenade made was fair game. Also the energy he recovers is proportionate to the intesnity and size of what he is trying to absorb. A puddle, very little energy, a lake alot of energy. ))

Viva quickly takes off his coat and tosses it up between him and the Grenade. The wind shreds his coat but whe the tattered garment falls to the ground Viva is no where to be seen. A blast of intense light streaks right for Grenade moving to fast for the little summons to avoid. While another blast streaks form another direction right towards Lutia.

The Chomp makes contact with Grenade pulling it out of the way of the blast. Lutia dodges the second shot with little effort.
Grenade then uses a powerful wind spell to dissipate the fog.

((I've already created a thread in the Western Front crew forum where i've been copying and pasting. You think after this is over with that we should make a copy for SHF? {Still Having Fun}))

From his hiding spot Viva smiles. Lutia might be known for thinking a step ahead, but this time she fell right into Viva trap.

"Infurnace!"

Suddenly hundred of thousand of energy projectilles streak towards the two form every direction, with massive beams of energy streaking their way periodically.

((Not just yet. I will think about it for the future.))
Lutia ducks to the ground putting on the ring and using the beads as a shield as Grenade floated there. Inhaling the fire based projectiles it began to glow a near white. When the last of them was absorbed Grenade let out a billow of smoke from its nozzle greatly regenerated by it.
So many shots at once no doubt taxed the remaining power Viva had remaining.

((they aren't fire based, nor who said they came form Viva? Who know what he was up too when he was hiding? He couldv'e oh i don't know, stragically place and deploy several Heavy Assualt Drones....or something icon_xd.gif ))

More rounds keep coming like a unending hailstorm. Powerful round capable of peircing solid steel slam into Grenade and the sheild. It was only a matter of seconds before Grenade would be shredded by the heavy fire.

((Infurnace is a fire spell. But if it really is raw energy.....))

Switching out the mallet mach II for the mana gun Lutia charged it up by asorbing the numerous shots. The force of the mana gun drew the shots straight to it where the energy was converted into mana.

((According to what i have about the laguanage, Infurnace translated is literally "Fire". Due to Viva's mastery of Fire spells, Viva when using low level fire spells he only has to speak the word "fire" and release magic energy and the spell would take effect. Now when you don't release the magic energy then its just a regular word. I mean can you think how problematic it would be for Ancients when every time they say "fire" that something bursts into flames? Only for highly advanced spells must he actually name the spells as in example of Eternal Flame Dragon spells. I have a listed glossary of Ancient words in my profile, in there you can find every name for each of the 12 elements the Ancients used. Heres a question, how can she use the mana gun if she's inside the sheild? ))

((She controls it mentaly. If your asking how come there not hitting the shield that is because it is not covering the gun.))


The fire suddenly stops. A brilliant flash of white fire, appears aboves the sheild. Viva drops down ontop of the shield. He reaches into her shirt and takes out a pendant/key/tool known as the Key of Kel'lor. He presses the pendant against the sheild of beads. A thick mercury looking liquid pours across the beads coating them. Viva grins before leaping off of the sheild. He raises his hand and the bead suddenly break up and start to revolve around him.
((Viva coated them with a layer of Isoloium giving him control over them via the Key. The Key of Kel'lor is a artifact passed down by the Vellor family. I can manifest liquid Isoloium and control and shape it. It isn't a weapon, mearly a key to disabling and activating Ancient defense as well as help in forging Ancient weapons and machines. ))

((Hehehe. Thank you. This should make up for the rain fumble.))
Lutia pressed down on the ring with her thumb and the eyes of the beads glowed and hit him with a weaker version of the Jarian door beam. However from seventy directions firing in an instant he would be suffering for his tactical error.
Grenade grabs Lutias hand and pulls her away, helping her up. With Viva occupied she fires the Mana gun with the extreme concentration of purified mana.

((The Jarian lasers are powered by the goddess Jara who among other things was a goddess of resurrection so you could consider them spiritual in nature.
I was planning to wait to use that trump card for when you went accendant but this was just to big an opportunity to pass up. Oh and unless he has a magic immunity that mana blast will probably hurt quite a bit.))


((damn now you force me to use this as well. I was planning on saving this as well.))

Viva immedaitly seeing his mistake quickly uses the only thing that could save him. HIs muscles suddenly increase three times theire normoal size. Every vein on his his body budgles as he pumps power into every cell of his being as he acitvated Enhancement. Faster than a blink of a eye he snaps up his halberd and dagger and becomes a blur to fast fo even Lutia to track as he spins, ducks, dodges and deflect the beams with his weapons in a literal whirlwind of flesh and metal.

((Enhancment- Viva floods every cell in his body with tremendous amounts of power. He abilites increase exponteially essentially sending his body into a Overdrive mode. He becomes indcredially strong and fast, but due to the limits of his human form, he can only hold Enhancement stage for a short amount of time or his body will start to deterioate to due to much power.))

The large blast from the mana gun larger than this enhanced Viva in size hit him full on as he was busy defending against the smaller blasts that with there power left burns into the Ancient weaponry that would need to be repaired later on.

Lutia taps the toes of her shoes to the ground one after another and adjusts her glasses. Straightening her hat and scarf she draws the Mallet Mach II and Chomp pole ready to keep up now with a few more tricks.

Grenade floated upwards away from the battle ready to supply cover fire when needed.

((Everything Lutia wears has a unique trick to it or special ability. The shoes when activated can increase her leg movment for every time she taps it against the ground. (To a certain limit.) and the glasses have a number of charms from protecting her against death spells, charm spells, eye based magic and can be used to follow high speed movements to a certain level. Probably not at the same speed as Viva but she should be able to keep up.))

Viva stands up and blasts forward still in his enhanced stage. His damaged weapons almost instantly repairing themselves. Viva vanishes form sight then appears a split second later behind Grenade with his halberd finishing its swing as he slices the summons in two.

Before the halberd could slice him in two Grenade desapeared into the summon plain.

At nearly the same speed Lutia cast the Chomp as it flew in the air in blinding speed as Viva was focused on Grenade it latched onto his ankle.

Viva easily senses Chomp coming. A white aura surronds chomp. Suddenly he turns and hurtles right for Lutia. Viva hits the ground and immdeialty drops out of Enhancment.

"Infurnace!" The place is suddenly filled with projectiles again.

Lutia catches theChomp and switches out for the Jutte and the mana gun again. With one hand she holds up the mana gun absorbing oncoming shots while holding the Jutte ready.

((remever the Jutte was damaged so it might be as effecitve this time))

Viva eyes narrow as he watches the projectiles beind absorbed. He hurls a ball of compress light energy at her well.

((I recall but it is a very powerful Item. Even damaged it should be able to handle it. Heh. The Jutte is actualy strong enough to break much stronger weapons than the halberd so it should still have enough power for this.))

Option A: Lutia watches as the blast destroys the nearby well as the bucket to draw water from the well went flying through the air.
"....."

Option B:
Seeing the slightly larger and brighter blast flying toward her Lutia dodges to the side avoiding the blast as it its the ground where she was standing.
His stamina is impressive.
Tapping her shoes against the ground a couple more times she runs towards Viva at a blinding speed with her hammer ready.
It is to bad that I must replace this spell on my shoes after each use or I would have a fearsome advantage.
((i'm going with option b
icon_sweatdrop.gif but like i said its indestruciable. Its a Master weapon. A weapon devised by the best Ancient weapons smiths to ever have lived. The best she could do is knock it away form him. She won't be able to wield the weapon or destory it. ))

To bad for her the moment she stops using the mana gun she gets slammed by thousands of energy projectiles form that hadn't ceased firing. There were just to many to dodge.

((what does the Mallet Mach II do? you never had a description of its abilites up. Is it just like a relgualr mallet?))

viva grins as soon as the Mana gun

((The Jutte was designed by someone with a deep hatred for weaponry. If it was not damaged it could in theory shatter a weapon of city destructive levels.
It has in the past destroyed a large broad sword that absorbed the souls of its victims. On the other hand I did not intend to break it anyway.

It is a steel mallet with a number of openings that is powered by steam. Designed by Erk Lock it can use concentrated steam to increase the speed and power of her swings and can even be used for flight.

What did you mean by that second sentence?))

((eh it was a typo...i got distracted by asking about the mallet that i started to type up the post again, I was deleting it when it just submitted sorry. I don't doubt the abilites of the Jutte, nor am I'm saying that it if inerior just that It doesn't possess the proprer methond for destorying a Master weapon is all. Anywany its a moot poin like you said. ))

Fortunately so long as she held ont othe gun it would continue its absorbtion so she continued to hold it above her as she moved letting Viva use up the last bit of his magic on these attacks as she began to formulate a plan.

Viva grins as he watches one of the attacks get drawn in. While Lutia was preoccupied, she failed to notice Viva fire a low yeild energy blast form his right hand. As expected it got drawn into the gun. Unluckly for Lutia, so did his dagger he hid in the blast. The dagger had sliced though the gun shredding it before passing her by.

The gun broken caused a small implosion sending the dagger and built up energy into the entrance hall of the Jarian base.

((A cheap failsafe but a preexisting one. The original idea was that any energy the gun absorbed could be channeled into the door if it ever broke to prevent a massive explosion upon its release.))

Pulling out a second scroll she opened it up activating it causing an intangible field to spread out upon the area preventing technology magical, ancient, modern or otherwise to cease function. The spell would remain up until it was countered or when a week has passed.
Using the speed offered by the mallet and her temporarily enhanced speed Lutia sped towards Viva faster than ever. Switching out the Jutte for the curved dagger that was only slightly damaged she slashes his neck severing a few tendons.

((With the fog gone and a combination of the shoes and the mallet I would imagine she is going faster than normal Viva at this point.))


Viva takes the slash to the neck without much effort. For him it was nothing but a scratch. Unluckly for her though moments before Viva has changed the ph of his blood again. So when she cut his neck she gets highly acidic blood all over her dagger and hand. Viva punches her in the face with enough force to send her flying.

Lutia takes the punch lightly and falls with it o she is not greatly harmed by it. Flying in the air Lutia switches out the dagger quickly and touching her burned hand against the scarf to neutralize the acid. Drawing her Chomp pole she casts it again this time making contact with the top of Viva's head making for a humorous look for a second before it bit down.

Viva bursts into water again. Even though she had healed her hand, the blood stiil had its desired effect by melting part oft of kinetivity. reforms behind Lutia and slashes as her back with his halbered.

((She has to change out weapons each time. She cannot actualy wear the ring and hold another weapon at the same time so she had unequipped it when she equipped the dagger.
For a close range fighter though he has more magical power than anyone I have ever seen who specializes in magical power O.o.))

The moment Viva desapeared she ducked catching onto his routine. When the dagger swiped over her head she caught Viva in a scissor cross and switching the chomp pole with her Jutte she slams it down breaking the bones in Vivas legs.
Though he was a powerful ancient such a would would take a little time to heal, and thats assuming they heal in the right position.

((Look up broken limbs it is very educational. Researching it you can see a number of flaws in near instant regeneration.))



((Well Viva is a close and long range fighter. so he good at both, the turning into water bit isn't really magic, its a assasination and stealth technique designed by the Keri'ly clan, it uses a tiny bit of of magical energy but not enough to be consider a spell, more like a byproduct, refined by the technique))

Viva was expecting this from her, she was playing right into his hands. As the Jutte comes down, he grabs the jutte while holding the Key.

"Magmus."

If the weapon was made of metal, reguardless of any safeguards or charms it had, it would instanly revert into molten metal. Normally this spell would be stopped by such safeguard, but when combined with the Key such defenses would be swept aside. Unfourntlely for Viva he could only use that specific combination only twice more that day.

((Key?
Really though. You might want to try RPing with someone like the Churtle for a while, get some practice with a character who is not so powerful.))

However the Jutte instead took the heat and was reforged by it restoring its past damage. Similar to Viva the Jutte grew in power as it absorbed the essence of the enemies it has slain. In the Juttes case it was weapons of the apocalypse instead of human souls. A dull ringing sounded within Viva's bones threatening to shake the flesh off of the hand holding the jutte.
Lutia swings the Mallet Mach II, its steam power giving it greater speed than Vivas own it hit him square in the side of the head and threatened to keep going (With the head in tow) Straight off his shoulders.

((Key of Kel'lor...its a artifact heirloom that can assist in forgeing weapons, it also is a key to open the massive stong gates leadin to the Ancient's Capital city called Kel'lor. It can also activate or disable Ancient weapons. What Viva used was a advanced forging technquie in attempt to melt it. And what do you men? I play several other characters as well who aren't as powerful as Viva. Rob, Dimitri, Dagar, Azackron, Rai, Xi, Solon, Tictac, Dante, and countless NPC who are used as cannon fodder. Viva is just the one I've put the most work in.))

Viva withstands the blow by increasing the osteocytes in his bones. This also has a added effect of making him slightly stronger. He holds onto the Jutte then slashes it in two with his halberd.

The Halberd sticks to the Jutte not penetrating it but not unable to be removed from it.
A blast of steam fires from the Mallet Mach II burning Vivas face with its pressurized air.

((Well the Jutte is not an ancient weapon but something that has absorbed much power. You would have an easier time snapping the halberd in two.))
When Viva absorbs souls is he actualy holding onto someones soul?))

((how is the mallet able to work? You said you laid down a spell that disable techonlogy. Therefore the mallet should be nothing more than a blunt weapon. As for your question, it depends on what form he is in when he kills the target. In Human or Ancient, he doesn't actually store the soul, more along like create a link to the enemies soul to his own soul. With Viva's soul being dominate to those he has killed. This allows him to summon up the other souls he has "absorbed" and use them for additional power. The catch is that he must kill the target first. In Ascendant however his soul mixes with all of those he has killed but they act as one. In this form he doesn't have to kill a enemy to take their soul. He can extend a tendril of spirtiual energy that will rip the soul form a target's body and draw it into himself. In Ash'a'khan form he doesn't link the souls but rather devours them. He destorys the souls and feeds on them aloong with with feeling of pain and death. Since Ash'a'khan and Clanlords cannot "absorb or link" to souls th are unable to build up the spiritual power to Ascend. ))

((It is no longer producing additional steam it is now opening valves to release steam presure. For example it is no longer capable of flight but by pressing one of the hidden switches it can be used to launch in a fast spinning arc or release raw steam.))

Viva takes the steam blast to the face with no effect. Appreontly it slipped Lutia mind that steam was heated water vapor so it just got absorbed by Viva. Viva usins his superior strength pulls his halbered back, yanking the jutte of out her hands as well. He leaps back way to gather up his thoughts. He suddenly grins then teleports. Several seconds later he comes back with his halberd free of the Jutte with said weapon no where in sight.

"You can forget about summoning the Jutte back, You won't be able to. "

((Let me elaborate on what happened when Viva was gone. Viva teleported inside the city of Kel'lor, there he used the Key to revert his halbered back into liquid form, therefore freeing his weapon. Then he telported back leaving the jutte behind, the catch is that the city itself is protected by a powerful energy sheild that keeps anything form teleporting in or out it was a defense created to keep clanlords and bloodguard form just teleporting in. Now normally Viva wouldn't be able to either, but like I siad the Key can disable or activate Ancient defenses. It quite a useful tool except it has no combat abilites.))

Viva, using the longer reach of his halberd begins a seires of slices and thurst swith his halbered using the polearm weapon to keep out reach of her mallet.

Lutia breaks into action dodging each thrust of the weapon with little effort using a series of slow steps and using the mallet to block against the halberd.
Waiting for the right opertunity she catches one of the branches of the halberd with her handle and kicks the balk of the hammer upwards. The nature of the rotation sent the halberd swinging in the air and clattering to the ground behind her.
With a clear opening she swung the mallet connecting with Vivas neck. since the only bones in that neck was the spinal column which was connected by vertabrae that could not be hardened without harming the bone it would be a good point of attack.

It would've worked to, if his halbered hadn't sliced though the handle. The majority of the weapon missed Lutia, though a few of the serrations on the side grazes her and cut her open with no resistiance. They weren't too deep but the flesh would've been been ragged and bleed a decent amount.

((This is where we hit a wall of argument. whether the halberds arm sliced through hammer handle before the move was made. Im being fairly easy on you considering you have broken every one of Lutias weapons.))

((hmm...well it depends on where she places the handle and how down the hanle made contact with the blade. Remember even if part of the handle is sliced off then the weapon can still be used. It just that it would've been better to say that she slipped the handle under the blade rather than stick it in the path of it. ))

((What I mean is when the weapon was coming at her it hit on a curve as she was swinging the main part upwards. My question is could it really have sliced through refined metal as quickly as human tissue.))

((well the blade of the weapon tapers down to a single molecule's width on the edge. Most material it can slice though without any risistance since it cuts on a molecular level, the only exception is other indestrutiable elements which will block the blade. The nature of the metal also allows it to techinally slice though energy as well, but it more like absorbing it. Though it cannot transfer absorbed energy to viva, only absorb and release energy in a manner similar to the mana gun. But Viva prefers to mearly just deflect energy attacks than absorb them with the weapon. The Sol'fer'luna was orginally created to help amlify the Solairis, since in the larger hands of a Ancient it is nothing more than a strange ax rather than a halberd.. It does this during the "charging" stage of the attack where it helps amplify and concentrate the enormus amount of light energy for the attack. Like i said it depends on where she attacks the weapon. If she attacks the flat of the blade or the handle she can defect it, but attacking the edge first will only result in it just slicing though the weapon. You must also take in consideration Viva physical strength, even if the blade is blocked, the opponet must aslo be strong to avoid Viva from just pushing the bocking weapon out of the way. Its one of the aspects that makes him a excellent close combat fighter. It's hard to block his weapon outright. one must outmanever him. Which soudn't be a problem for Lutia. Its not like he's going to hack her intwo, this is after all just a spar not trying to kill each other. Thats why Viva choked her instead of breaking her neck in that one part. The most Viva will to to Lutia is giver her a few gashes maybe a few broken bones thats all. I allow Viva to take more damage because he can regenerate it when he feels like it, so therir won't be any permant damage.))

((Alright. Though you should be aware that deflecting a weapon with another weapon is a big difference from blocking with a shield. You have classified stories in history of ninty year old men using small fans to block an attack from a broad sword. Deflection is a difficult art of changing the trajectory of your opponents weapon with precision movements, not something that can be used successfully without many years of training. It is when your blocking an attack that strength becomes a factor.))
Lutia snaps her fingers again making Grenade reappear who promptly began casting weak healing spells.
Lutia draws her dagger and came at Viva again.

((exactly. I interpret it as Lutia blocking with the handle againt the edge of the blade then smacking it away. ))

viva quickly summons his own person tiger Azackron. He quickly mounts the tiger and shifts his rigthing style to that of basic calvary. Zack takes off charging right at Lutia, with Viva using his halbered like a lance now.

((Asackron- Viva personal summons and mount. Azackron is a white tiger larger than a rhino. He is more covered in plate armor and can use magic. mainly ice and earth magic. Can regenerate at a slightly faster rate than that of other tigers of his species but not as fast as viva. Can comminicate telepathically and has been with Viva for years. ))

((I suppose it would look bad if I killed it. Lutia is actualy fairly experienced with fighting things proportionally large.))

Lutia waited as the tiger mount came at her and moments before the lance could reach her she rolls top the opposite side and stabs upward with the now sharpened end of her mallet handle stabbing through the chest of the tiger though managing to miss any vital organs or arteries. From her position Viva would be unable to reach w ith his halberd without incapacitating the tiger.

((yeah it would like viva killing Chomp. Besides why would you kill Viva's trusty sidekick? icon_crying.gif Besides i tried killing him off, but i just couldn't so i borught him back. Oh yeah did i forget to say he has the personailty of a giant kitten? makes for some awkward sitiatiuons between the two.. icon_sweatdrop.gif))

Zack roars in pain. Zack rears back and swipes at her with a paw larger than her head. Meanwhile Viva channels light energy into his halbered to amplify it before a beam of light lances form the center prong and burning though Grenade

((You could have warned me about the kitten thing I would have totaly messed with Viva in a much more humorous fashion. Dont worry Ill be careful with it.))

Grenade blew out a cloud of smoke and as the halberd arced toward him it passed through without any resistance.
Lutia holds her legs together and kicks sending the tiger flying backwards in the air and off the hammer. Reaching into her pocket she produces a small mouse toy.
I was saving this for Justice.
She sets it on the ground and it comes to life running along the ground at incredibly high speeds.

(( icon_sweatdrop.gif he might act like a kitten, but he is a trained war tiger ))

Azackron looks at the mouse for a second before igroning it. There would be a time to play later. The tiger's wound slowly starts to close as it begins to heal. Zack turns and charges at Lutia again.

((That same tactic would have worked on Justice in the middle of a warzone. icon_xd.gif ))

Lutia rolls to the side avoiding the tiger once more and slams the mallet against its hind paw. Then she moves quickly out of the halberds longer range.


Zack quickly leaps out of the way of the attack, before turning and letting loose a ice blast right at Lutia.

Lutia dodges to the side avoiding the shot narrowly and swings the hammer again getting the tiger in the upper thigh.


Viva repositions his halbered and deflects the blow, leaving Lutia open. Zack quickly capitalizes and claws her back.
Lutia rolls out of the way and nicks the paw pad of the tigers foot as it swung.
swinging the hammer again she smashes Viva's leg into the tigers side.

((Since this fight is really heating up I will disclose more of the Lutia information.
The scarf has an enchantment upon it that will nuterelize poisons and acids and is charmed to 'regrow' and torn off parts of it. It is unremovable by anyone except Lutia and has a minor charm that allow her to eat and such without needing to remove it.
The hat is a limited hammerspace able to contain up to ten objects. It also has a minor charm to prevent it from falling off unless removed forcefully.
And Lutias singular specialability to wield any weapon is seemingly unlimited not based on a weapons size, wieght or and prerequisit requirments such as for a specific person or race. However anything that is ridable she has little talent for.
((Heh i might have viva get serious soon. Its been a long time since he's gone up a enemy tough enough for him to go full out. I also should warn you that I remembered a way that Viva's halberd can destory pratically any weapon Lutia might have. Might seem like godmodding to a degree, but the intresting thing is this will work in real life no need for really out of control powers or abilties just a simple soultion ^_^ you'll see later on. Viva main stragtey right now is to disarm Lutia and force her into a hand to hand situation icon_whee.gif ))
Zack twists out of the way moving Viva out of the path of the hammer and getting Viva into postion to smack the mallet aside with the handle of his halberd. As the two weapons make contact a loud metallic tone rings in the air. If Lutia were to pay close attention to Viva faces, she would see a small smile cross his face.

Got you.

Viva flicks his halbred knocking her mallet out her hands, once she is disarmed he jabs forwards with his halberd.
((She is incapable of fighting hand to hand. Fortunatly I have a few tricks of my own.))

Lets see if this works.
Lutia moves slightly to the side and grabs the halberd by the pole. Raising it she pulls Viva off of the tiger and swings him at it like a large hammer without any difficulty. The halberd might have been designed for the exclusive use of Ancients but it would not stop Lutia from wielding it.
Perfect.
Lutia snapped her fingers again.
Viva lets go of the halberd and twists in the air landing on his feet. He holds out a hand and the mallet flys to his hand. He takes a quick moment ot look it over. He almost immediately starts to understand how it works.

He opens the valves and release all the steam in it, which he absorbs. He then takes out a small crystal and places it on the back of his right handed glove. The crystal glows for a moment before it returns back to normal.
Lutia looks at the halberd for a moment apraising its ability.
"A real piece of work. Your lucky to have it."
She lunges with it while holding her dagger close to act as a defensive weapons.

The tiger is knocked over as Grenade barrels into it preventing the tiger from joining the confrontion. It holds up its fists and does a few punches in the air as it stares down Zack.

((This is a fine fight. A little more over the top than I am used to but the first time I have ever had to use so much of her arsenal in a single bout.
Would you mind if I use a semi developed weapon? There were plans for Lutia to recieve it in an RP but the time for it was never right.))
Viva grins and holds the mallet ready.
"Yes it is. Its a family heirloom. Passed down form Sai Avi to Sai Avi. But it is no use
PostPosted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:24 am


in your hands."

As to prove his point the weapon halts in midair and refuses to move. Viva charges in and brings the mallet down on Lutia's head.

Meanwhile Zack wairly circles around Grenade.

((its sorta sentient but not fully but it can decide who it wants to weild it. Its not limited to Ancients. Both Xi and Dagar can weild Sun and Moon. {halberd's name} Lutia has to prove herself before the weapon will consider her worthy of weilding it. Its a quality of all Ancient Master weapons. For instance Dagar's warhammer is a Master weapon, but he was unable to use it untill the weapon witnessed him nearly die trying to protect a women and her three year old daughter. Though Sun and Moon is a bit more picky. The only reason it lets Xi wield it is because she is a Vellor though marriage, and Dagar because he spent his entire life protecting people and raised Viva ,who is a orphan, as his own child. ))
((Really now. With Lutias line of work do you really think she would be out of her element with weapons sentient or otherwise? Just because she cannot fight with it does not mean she cannot use it.))

Using her master over weaponry Lutia forces the weapon upwards blocking with the flat of it. Moving back quickly letting the hammer come down on its own mearly diverting the attack Lutia switches out the Halberd for the Chomp pole.
Casting it she makes contact with Viva's arm where it begins biting down.

Grenade continues floating in the air turning as Zack circles him.
((yeah i lknow that i was just letting you know that the weapon won't attack Viva regardless, Its only because of her ability that she is able to even pick it up. And sure you can use that new weapon, but only if i can unleash some of the new abilites I've been working on for Viva. None of them are complete and i don't know if i'm even going to make them offical, but still its only fair.))

As soon as Chomp makes contact a blinding flash of light appears. As the light fades Chomp returns back to Lutia. Even with the mawer's natural toughness its was badly wounded. The crystal on the back of Viva's right glove stops glowing again. Viva looks at the mallet for a moment. He leaps back putting some distance between him and Lutia. Viva takes out the key and holds it over the mallet. The mallet turns pure white and seems to be made of pure energy. In this energy form the mallet begins to change. It head grows 4 feet long and 1 foot thick with a wicked looking spike on the back of the hammer. The front of the hammer takes on the visage of a roaring tiger. The handle grows to be 7 feet long with a crystal woven into the handle. Pores appear thoughout the weapon where highly pressurized jets of steam could be unleashed. Viva spins the 'Ehanced' Mallet Mach 2 once in his hands while sunlight gleams off of of the silverish weapon before charging right at her with the new weapon. When he gets withing five feet of Lutia he slams the hammer into the ground causing a massive crater. A loud hiss issues form the weapon and a powerful shockwave ripples out form the weapon picking up Lutia and hurling her thirty feet backwards.

((I just came up with this, would you like the info? Oh if you want you can make this a one of Lutia's weapons if you want.
((Sure. Though I will probaly get Viva to develop it at some point without getting rid of mach II. Have a name for it?))

Lutia switches out the Chomp pole for a strange musical instrument in midair. It was a V shapes guitar with a razor edge and a saxaphone built into the same instrument. Lutia strums a few notes on the guitar stopping her in midair. She plays a short ditty an shes flying in the air towards Viva. Holding the instrument as a weapon she swings at Viva.

((It is a fairly simple weapon, the guitar can control her movement to a certain degree and the saxaphone is a projectile. Lutia's ability to wield any weapon one handed is fairly pronounced in this instant. It also functions as an axe.))
((I don't know, I was thinking maybe just Mallet Mach 3, or something that refers to the fact that its Anceint made. Anyway. the entire weapon i covered in holes that can let out extreamly pressurized stream that can punch a hole though solid rock. The weapon has a pratically unlimited supply of steam without the weapon really being technoligal or magical in nature. When swung, air rushes into the pores where water vapor is trapped in a web like structure of crystal deep in the head of the hammer. These crystal extend on of the head and are inlaid into the handle where it draws in body heat form the user and amplifyes it heating up the vapor till it produces steam. The hammer is very heavy, but with Viva's strenght and Lutia's abilites they can weild the weapon with little effort, but because of the hammers weight it can cause large craters when it mades contact with anything. The weapon is somewhat senteint as well. When weilded by someone it doesn't like or approve, it will open the pores along the handles and realease powerful jet of steam onto the hands of the user. The weapon is most made up of hardned titainum reinfoced with a web work of Isololuim giveing the weapon some resitance to Ancient Master Weapons as well as strongly reinforce its natrual resistance to damage. This layer of Isolonium, due to the element ablities to amplify and concentrate energy give the weapon the ablites to absorb some energy attacks as well as store the power and release it when attacking producing powerfull shockwaves. ))

Holdinng the large warhammer up he, blocks the blow with the handle of the weapon. The weapon suddenly relases powerful jets of steam right at Lutia's
Lutia plays the saxaphone part of the weapon pushing her back in midair as powerful sound waves assult Viva's senses.
Using the dagger as a pick she circles Viva continuing her assult.
The sound waves only have a minimum effect on him. Viva easily deflects Luita's strikes only getting two cuts on his left arm. The hammer lets out more burst of steam covering Viva in a screen of steam. Inside the screen Viva charges up a light attack.
The effects of the soundwaves begins to set in as Viva's eardrums shatter destroying his equilibrium. With the continuous attack he would be incapable of regenerating until the music ceased. Eventualy the attack would render him unconcious.

Viva shuts down his ears not really needing to hear. His balance was fine though, due to past experince and intese training he had been in this situation before and had devloped other ways to keep his balance.. Lutia had made the mistake of underestimating him yet again. This gave him a opening. Viva lets out a blast of light at her, while she was dodgeing , he strike out with the hammer catching her off guard.
((You do realize that shutting down your hearing will not recover your equilibrium right?))
((yes i know that, This isn't the first time Viva has been attacked by sound waves.When he was fighting Ara/Xi uses alot of sound based attacks. He learned how to maintian his balance when he loses his eardrums. Its like trying to walk straight when your dizzy, enough pratice and you can do it. He shut down his ears, so he wouldn't be effected by any further sound attacks. But Lutia must keep the sound constant to keep him form recovering though. His ablities will be hampered by this by not enough to give Lutia a clear advantage. I'm not going to make this easy. ^_^))
((Perhaps. Though I have more experience with high frequency sounds in a fantasy enviorment.))

Lutia dodged going upwards and as the mallet came at her she quickly twisted her body, standing on it for a second she leaped from it.
The sound pressure building up in Viva's skull was beginning to effect his other systems. Sound waves when focused can shatter bullet proof glass no matter how well reinforced. When concentrated on a specific point like the human brain it would build up sound pressure. The most common effect is deafness and loss of equilibrium eventually followed by loss of consciousness. However soundwaves can also be used to cause the problems through out the body system such as internal bleeding, nural paralysis, even organ failure. If the attack went on long enough Viva's brain would be as good as liquefied.
((perhaps but that doesn't mean that its fool proof. But nice attack anyway.))
Viva laughs before leaping away.

"K'Tae." ((Dispell, here he is destorying the anti technoligal spell Lutia cast earlier))
"Sal-or-gor Kre'nas Saga'ru'ti: Kre'nii I'hor'na'to." ((Sal-or-gor Silence Technique: Sound Disruption. This negates offensice Sound based attacks. Dosen't stop the vibrations form happening only neaturizles any offensive sound attacks. Its a lingering spell.))

"Magmus A'haru." ((Lava Armor))

Viva is suddenly engulfed in a pillar of lava. After it subsides Viva is revealed to be incased in what appears to be plate armor made of lava. He swing the hammer to build up the steam before charging right out Lutia.
Lutia flies forward dodging the hammer she stands on its base and swings her guitar at Viva's head ripping a large gap between his nose and his chin. The jaw was hanging on one on one side and he made for quite a sight.
Playing the guitar again Lutia flies backwards.

((The difference of style between Lutia and Viva is glaring.))
To bad though that the moment the guitar comes down a brilliant flash of light engulf viva hurling Lutia back into a nearby tree while badly burning her. The light fades and Viva is complety unharmed the crystal on the back of his right hand stops glowing.
Fortunatly most of her body was covered and her glasses refacted the light causing minimal burns. She hit the tree with her feet and sprang forward using the momentum and the guitar to come back with a vengence swinging at Viva's bare neck.
Viva moves the warhammer and blocks the attack leaving Lutia open to attack. Viva delivers a powerful punch to her right arm pulverizing the bones in her arm as well as her collar bone from the impact.
Lutia raises her curved dagger that was capable of cutting through wood and stone like butter at the last moment. Cutting between the index and middle finger she cut the arm in half up past the elbow.
After that she kicks Viva in the face putting some distance between them.

((If it was anyone except the regenerating Viva I probaly would be not be using so bloody an attack.))
((Its fine, but she can't dodge everything! xd ))

Viva looks at his wounder arm. Thousand of small red threads shoot between the two halves of his arm weaving it back together. He flexes his repaired arm.
"Not bad."

Viva vanishes and reappears behind her. The hammer coming down on her skull.
((I know but Viva spent a good portion of this match either turning into water or telaporting so I thought it was due.
Can't be shown up by my future second now can I?))

Lutia quickly turned in mid-air cutting a couple of Viva's fingers off, taking the hammer in the shoulder sending her flying in the air. Since her body put no resistance to the attack and hit nothing she was not hurt as seriously harmed as she could have been.
Recovering she fingered the feather in her hat as she took the moment to catch her breath.
Viva takes a moment to looks at the damage to his hand. She had sliced off his little finger and first segment of his ring finger on his right hand. Nothing that would really hinder him, or required immediate intention. He shuts off the blood suppy to the wounding appendages, and charges forward again.

((I know, but i still got a few suprises left, and remeber he hasn't gone Ancient yet either. I don't know if he's going to or not for this fight. It depends. ))
((I have....Four surprises left under my hat.))

Lutia used the saxaphone to blast Viva backwards with the vibrations, planning to wear the ancient down over time.
Viva flies backwards for a little bit before steam form the hammer lifts him back up in the air and sends him flying back towards Lutia. As he gets nearer the pores near the spike of the hammers head open and release powerful jets of stream cauing Viva to sprial down on top of Lutia. ((hes basicaly spinning though the air with the hammer reaching out to smack anything that gets close to him.))
Lutia pulls from her jacket pocket a handful of teeth she recieved before sending back Chomp. She throws them at Viva letting them come to life and begin burrowing into his skin devouring him from the inside.
Playing the insturment fiercly Lutia swings it like an axe with the vibration force intensifying the strike.
A blast of sharp frozen wind impacts the teeth destorying them before they can get close to Viva. The axe makes contact with Viva only to pass right though as the illusion fades. Another Viva appears behind her and brings the deadly spike of the hammer down on Lutia intent on impaling her.
Always behind me.
Lutia shoots forward on the musical power narrowly avoiding the spiked hammer as it came down.
Not good..If I do not make my move now I might not last much longer.
Still moving forward at a fast speed Lutia puts away the dagger and pulls out a scroll opening it to activate its recorded spell.

The Viva that just attacks grins before vanishing as well. As he is a shape drops down form above and tackles Lutia to the ground. Viva smacks the scroll away and places the spike of the hammer against her throat.
"Got you."
If she were to look at his hands she would see that somewhere during his attack he had attached another crystal this time on the back of his left hand.
The scroll rolled along the ground before the activated spell took effect.
The pair desapeared from there previous location and appeared in a large circus tent.
Lutia desapeared from under him as an acrobatic form began swinging from the trapieze. If Viva was paying atention he would have noticed a miniature car coming straight for him.

((It is sort of the equivalent of a reverse summon.
So how is the Viva fanclub coming along? twisted ))
((don't know. last I heard 007mimi was trying to recuirt more memebers but I haven't heard of anything yet. Though Skye wants to make Arroa a Viva fangirl in the Jarians Guild. So it looks like there's going to be a Love triangle between Viva/Xi/and Arroa. I've also been toying with the idea of having Viva captured by the group mare is with and having him delivered as a slave to the Fuzzy Mittens person. Though He will really just be undercover to discover out how the Manison keeps itself safe from creature in the Swamp. I'm going to have to talk to Fuzzy and Mare to set it up, but I'm planning on twisting the Slave Rp into the main one buy saying there is a powerful defenseive artifact that protects the place. And who better to send on the undercover mission than Viva? His Ancient mind would be to powerful for Fuzzy to fully dominate, and he has his regenative ablites and strength it comes to a fight, as well as that as of now, he is the only Jarian that Revivalist have any information on.))

Viva looks up confused for a moment at the sudden change of scenery. He looks at the car coming and lowers the hammer. A powerful shock wave ripples form the hammer and crushes the car. He looks around an wonder if he shoould unleash it yet.
((True enough. Alright go ahead with your mission.
Ironic about Arroa considering she joined the guild so she could be Raziels love intrest xd
If the moon watchers really hit it off we will have to migrate them to the Jarian guild as well.))

Carnival music began to play as the acrobat swung in midair. the clown car exploded in a series of joy buzzers, whoopee cushions and clowns knocking Viva back against a spinning disk, locking him in place.
A series of daggers then flew straight for Viva.
(Yeah I know, but Raziel isn't on enough so for now it looks like Arroa is going to be a possiable love intrest for Viva. Heh Viva is just showing up Raziel right and left by now whee ))

Viva looks at the daggers at they come in. A white aura surrounds then before they swerve off course due to Viva telekinesis. Viva flexs his arms and legs, snapping the restraint before flipping to his feet. Viva looks up at the acrobat.
"Guess I better do it now."

Viva strips off his shirt revealing his bare chest. The crystal on the back of his gloves start to glow brightly. If Lutia was able to sense energy outputs she would notice that Viva was emitting energy readings off of the charts, espiecally around his hands.
((Poor Raziel the down trodden))

From nowhere a number of pies flew at Viva followed by a soda spritzer. As the distraction drew Viva's attention a quaertet of forty foot tall caribou with circus costumes charged into the tent ridden by a pair of acrobats who jumped from one to another in masterful showmanship right towards Viva.
But it was too late. Viva had already begun transforming. Two massive curved crystal spikes rip out of the top of his shoulder. A crystal spike extends form his elbows and more, smaller crystal spikes appear trailing down over his spine. The Lava armor he was wearing gets sucked into his body. Viva raises a hand towards the oncoming caribou. Dozens of crystal shards rip out of his fingertip and hurl though the air.

((This is a new form I've been working on. When Viva attaches a crystal to the back of each hand he transfrom into this form. In this form, his skeleton is lined with thousands of crystal nodes that he can grow crystal from. This crystal is charged with energy. For instance if Viva were to destory the spike coming out of his elbow, the energy will flood into his arm giving the arm tremedous punching power. If he were to destory one of the spikes on his spine, his whole body would basically enter Ehancement mode but without the negative side effects. He can also grow the cryatl and use it as weapons, such as launching crystal spikes from his hand or pulling a crystal sword form his body. I'm still working on it though.))
The comedic props hit Viva dissolving any crystal spikes they came in contact with. They appeared to be a form of dispelling keyed towards high energy patterns.
The caribou moved out of the way with a speed well recognized by anyone with experience hunting caribou.

Viva shurgs. It was only a minor setback. Viva snaps his wrists and crystal claws extend form his knuncles. ((think Wolverine of X-men)) One of the spikes on his back shatters. Viva muscles bludge and his veins become visable as his body is pumped full of energy. Viva charges at the first caribou. He leaps up in the air and digs one hand into its Juglar Vein and the other hand into the Cartroid Artery. Hes pulls his hands together severing the two vital blood vessels and severs the caribou's windpipe as well. As the beast drops, Viva kicks off of its antlers and heads toward another caribou, while in midair, he disembowels one of the acrobats who was in mid-jump. He comes down on the caribou's head claws first and drives though the animals skull and into its brain. Ripping out his bloody claws the caribout he runs up along its back as the animal starts to drop face first. He leaps off of the animal and heads towards another. He lands skillfuly on the animals antlers. The acrobat riding it leaps off only for viva to raise his hand and launch the clawss from one hand and impale the Acrobat. With still clawed hand he drives them into the caribous spine at the base of its skull severing its nerves. Viva leaps to the ground as the last caribou comes right at him. Just as it was about to step on him. Viva sidesteps and slices the animal's leg off. The crippled animal falls beside him.
The tight ropes seemed to be higher than before as the roof seemed to go into the sky.

((This ability is very good for losing people.))
((yes, but with Viva's sense of smell, hearing and eyesight, as well as his ablity to sense Life energy makes it very hard to hide. It can be done, but it is very challenging to lose Korlon))

Viva looks up at the tight ropes for a moment. He walks though the tent slashing though the poles that hold the tight ropes. He hadn't seen Lutia since this place appeared, but he wasn't fooled. He remeberd form her bio that he read in the archives that she was once with a circus. He knew she had a terrain advanage here. He holds out his hand and the Ancient Mallet appears in his unclawed hand. He would prefer his halberd, but his selection of weapons wasn't that big at the moment.
Wires snapped as the poles came crashing down, some in Viva's direction as the tent began to fall downwards threatening to crush him.
If Viva was able to sense life he would notice something outside.

((The very nature of this summon is to make Viva go through a long trial. It is similar to the simulation trials in that regard. Expect Lutia near the end.))
((Ahh okay..well i could just dispell it, but I'm curious to what is going on.))

Viva sensing a life signature, teleports outside as the tent collapses.
((It would be very bad if you did. If the spell stops midway both Lutia and Viva would probaly be lost between dimensions.))

Viva reappeared in a small shack behind a tower of cans. If he looked up he would see a road sign hung on a nail that was labeled 'life'.
The shack had a number of stuffed animals on the walls three walls and a long table where the fourth wall should be. On the table were four machine guns.
"Hit the patsy and win a prize!" the owner cried.
some kids began firing all at once with the guns sending cans flying in the air as they shot Viva full of bullet holes.
A layer of crystal coats it body deflecting the bullet. Viva raises his hand and lauches shards a crystal which lodge in the barrels in the gun.
A number of clicks could be heard as the kids tried making the guns go off.
If Viva was to look at the wall behind him he would see a number of targets.
"Here on the house! three shots each."
The owner handed out nail bombs to the kids who threw them, some at Viva, some at the targets behind him and a few were such weak throws that they rolled on the ground mere inches from the table. They went off sending hundreds of nails in every direction.
A number of them went at the walls of the shack and towards the crowd of players but a kinetic field pushed them back inward, designed to protect people from accidents.
His crystal armor protects him form the nails. Viva look up at the road sign and follows it ignoring the children. His armor retreats back inside his body.
((This armor sounds on par with his ancient form.))

The sign led to several cages where the animals for the shows were kept. among them were some of the more unusual species found in various worlds.

((Name a few from your home locale))
((This is a powerful form that I don't use because it makes him abit to powerful defensively. So i've been working on making it weaker. The only way to break him out of this form is to remove the crystals on his hand, or severing his hands. Thats it. Otherwise he's pratically invunerable. So you see I've been trying to create suitable weakness.))

Viva looks at the animals. He walks past a cage housing a small flock of phoenix, as well as another cage housing a Dri'gar, a massive horse sized wolfish creature. Another cage on his right has a wild Giant Tiger. He even spots a Hydra. Viva contuines past the cages looking for Lutia.
A young girl wearing an unusual hat, robe and a mask all in white walked up to Viva.
"Hello mister, you lookin for someone?"
Viva looks at the little girl for a moment. "Yes someone who goes by the name of Lutia Fury. She wears a pair of glasses, and has a scarf wrapped tight around her that hides her face. She also has a hat with a feather sticking out of it. Hard to miss her.
"Fury? Odd last name. Can't say i-"
Before she could finish her sentence the animal cages burst open. The more vicious ones turn towards Viva and the little girl.
Viva quicly slams a palm into the ground. Dozens of crystal spikes surrond the little girl protecting her. "Stay there I'll take care of them. " Viva eyes flare a bright white light which appears in the tiger's eyes before it turns and begins attacking the Dri'gar. Viva charges the Hydra and leaps up on it back. He brings the Mallet Mach 3 down on one of its head crushing it.

((I'll let you decide how many heads the hydra has. Oh and as for the tiger. the Giant Tigers of Viva homeland have a inbred loyalty to Ancients. They were created by them.))
Before Viva could jump on the hydras back it did a barrel roll, its serpentine body easily accomplishing this.
At the moment the creature had six heads four of which lunged at Viva one of them biting down on his hand.

The wolf lunged at the tiger. Despite common misconception the wolf is a known fighting animal while a tiger is more well known for fast, sudden kills before the victim can register.

The phoenix flew overhead, circling.
Viva opens his palm of the hand that is inside the hydra's mouth. A shard of crystal rips out of his palm and stabs thoough the soft pallet into it's brain. Viva pulls his hand out of the killed head. He brings up the mallet and lets loose a shockwave at the lungine hands.

The tiger easily bats the Dri'gar away with a massive paw.

((In the Western Front a Giant tiger can kill a single Dri'gar. The Dri'gar is a pack animal that is normally cowardlly when facing a larger animal and is by itself. They shouldn've be confused with Giant Wolves which are the Har-kor clan's summons. Each of the Ancient clans have a personal summons geared toward their clans habitat. The Kal-le-mar being mainly Mountinaous have giant Snow tigers such as Azackeron, The Har-kor being forest Dwelling had Giant Wolves. The Sal-or-gor also forest dwelling had Griffions, and the Keri'ly which prefered living on river banks, shore lines and in floating cities had Giant Sea Snakes. ))
((*Sigh* Correct. the common wolf is indeed a specialist in fighting in packs which is what I was not expecting you to realize. Mistep considering it is your own animal.))

A number of heads grew from the hydra as it snapped at Viva.

((Could not think of much to be honest concerning these monsters...))
((Its okay. ^_^ this is a long fight....don't think I've ever been in a battle this long and close before. They are practically neck and neck, If you wish i could just end this trial quickly if you want and we can move on to the next one. Oh I also informed Mare and Fuzzy Mittens on the plan. Waiting for their approval.))
((Sure, the monsters were just because I wanted to have some animals in the carnival. Just go on and dispatch them and w can move to the next part.))
Viva leaps inbetween the heads of the hydra and stabs it in the heart killing the beast. Meanwhile the tiger finished off the Dri'gar. Viva walks back to the little girl and looks at her as the crystal spike retreat back into the ground. "Are you okay?"
"Yes im fine mister. Do you do this sort of thing alot?"
The girl asks having forgotten Viva's earlier question.
Viva laughs. "Yes I do. Just another day. So tell me do you remeber if you've seen Lutia around anywhere?"
"No sorry mister but i don't know this miss fury woman you are looking for. lots of people here wear feathers but the weather is to warm for scarfs."
The little girl thought for a moment.
"Would you mind helping me set up some of the rides? you seem really strong and maybe your friend will turn up while you help me around the carnival."
Viva hesitates. He knew this was all fake. That it was some sorta test or somethng created by that scroll. Normally he wouldn't turn down a little girl asking for his help.

After a moment of thinking, he decides why should he change that now? Even if she wasn't real. "Sure."
"Thanks mister!"
The girl skipped along past the animal cages to a ferris wheel lying on its side.
"We were setting it up when the ground gave out. If we cannot get it upright we will have to leave it here."
Viva looks at the Ferris Wheel. It was going to be pushing the limits of his human form to lift that. Viva places a hand on the ground near the ride.
"Terra. Met'ahlai." ((Earth, Metal.)) Under the ground metal ore and rock rise up in the ground soldifying the ground around it. Viva then grabs the wheel and straining is able to lift up the wheel. Two large metal and rock spikes rise out of the gound and secure the wheel. "There. What else?"
The little girl led Viva to a truck with a folded up slide that would reach eighty feet when assembled.
"The other ride we are having trouble with is the giant slide. It usualy takes us an entire day to set it up but you look so strong that i think you could finish in under an hour right?"
Viva nods. "Sure." Three spikes on his spine shatter and in within minutes he had assembled the slide.
"Great! Now we should be-"
The young girl looked off in the distance.
"Oh no. Somehow the tent has fallen down. It took us two days to finish setting that up. Without the main tent the show cannot begin!"
Viva looks around cautiously. He still didn't trust what was going on. "Alright."
The little girl led Viva to the tent that he had torn down not to long ago.
"Could you please use more of your power to fix this please?"
Viva sighs and places his palm on the ground again. Giant crystal poles shoot out of the ground and pitch the tent up.
By now Viva most likly depleted much of his strength.
"Well now that I think of it shifty might know where your friend is."
She pointed to a man with a broken leg sitting behind a small table with three cups.

Viva eyes narrow at the girl. He knew what was going on. It was a attempt to weakne him. Yet again Lutia was underestimating him. Not that she had to know how wrong she was. Viva nods and heads over to the old man. He already had a clue what was going to happen taking in the three cups. Ole' Shifty was proably going to make him play a game to game to get what he wanted. That was fine. Viva was already devising a plan.
"Ah, hello there stranger."
Shifty grinned showing a lack of teeth.
"Yer lookin for some information are ya?"
Viva grins and tries to look freindly, well as friendly one can look with crystal spikes poking out of your body. "Why yes, I'm looking for someone named Lutia Fury. "
"Well the name might ring a bell....if your lucky. Gimme one of those crystals in your hand and we can play a little game. If I win I keep the crystal and if you win I tell you what I know."
Viva eyes narrow. "Why should I trust you?"
Shifty grins. "What do you have to lose?"
"What do you have to gain?" Viva retorts back.
"That crystal would fetch a pretty penny at the next pawn shop." Shifty laughed.
Viva sighs before pulling off one of the crystals. The spikes retreat back into his body as he hands the crystal over. "Very well."
The old man pulls out two glass crystals, setting them down he sets them under cups, spinning them around he then throws them in the air, each one landed in its now upraised cup which were stacked atop eachother and set upside down on the table.
"Now, the top, middle or bottom cup?"
Viva looks at the cups for a moment then up at the man. He then grins. The man didn't know who he was playing against. He easily saw the man's rapid movements with he his enhanced vision, and had just got done reading his mind. "Simple. None of them. It's in your pocket."
"Wrong." the man grined. He stood up and the crystal fell down his pant leg.
"I have a hole in my pocket." He laughs as he reaches down to pick up the crystal.
"She said if anyone asked for her to tell them to check the infirmary. Aside from you she was the only stranger in the carnival."
Viva shrugs and walks away. After asking some people where it was, he makes his way to the infirmary. He looks around wary form a attack form any direction.
The little girl was sitting on a table having a scrape on her knee treated.
"Hello there. Have you found your friend yet?"
Viva shakes his head. He looks around then gets a idea. "Hey, what exactly do you do here?"
"Ooooooh anything needed." The little girl hops down. "I will help ol'shifty whenever he has a plan and the main tent is large so they usualy need someone to be the acrobats assistant or the hipogriff tamers assistant. Im learning how to do everything here." Viva had his suspicions about the girl. He wouldn't be surprised if she was actually Lutia in disguise. " Well ol' shifty said that Lutia was here. Yet all I see here is you."
"Well my name is Lutia." The little girl behind the mask said plainly
"But you were asking about a woman who wears scarves and feathers with a last name 'Fury' I know nobody like that"
Viva sighs and sling his halberd across his back. Now he had a problem. He was almost a hundred percent certain that this little girl was Lutia, but his Ancient side wouldn't even let him think of hurting a innocent child. "Damn it. I think your the person I've been fighting, except a older version of you. "
"that sounds exciting! I wonder if this older me knows my favorite hiding places..."
the little girl tapped her mask thoughtfully.
Viva raises a eyebrow. As he saw it there were two possiblites. One, the other Lutia was hiding somewhere, or Two Lutia had reveted to a childlike state. "And where would those be?"
"The props room. Its a wagon where we keep all the extra props."
The little girl exclaimed.
"In the back is the weapons locker for emergencies and theres this little cubby right behind it."
Meanwhile the carnival doctor was cleaning up a bundle of bloody torn bandages burining them incase of infection.
Viva looks at the little girl. "You mind showing me them?"
"No problem!" the little girl led Viva to the little wagon and stood outside.
"Im sorry but I have to go help the knife thrower pick some apples now. The weapons locker is in the back of the wagon, bye bye!"
With that the little girl departed.

When Viva enters the wagon he will find the weapons locker opened and empty.
Viva remembering that she mentioned something about a cubby, moves the locker and looks inside for any clue of Lutia. He was getting tired of this spell and was thinking about just dispelling it.
A flash bomb went off the moment he looked in the cubby followed by a shot to the back of Viva's head with a shotgun.

Lutia stepped out from behind a number of hanging costumes fully recovered and armed with a new collection of weapons. She held a shotgun loaded with special bullets made from uranium, salt and iron in one hand and a high tech chainsaw in the other.
That worked well. He was distracted long enough for me to get bandaged up at the infirmary and pick up some new armaments.
She activated the chainsaw and swung it downwards at Viva's shoulder.

Meanwhile the little girl was in fact still wandering about the circus continuing her daily routine.

((Just for the record though it will not be shown the spell can be used to visit the past memories of any of the Jarians. However it can only be used once so its moot.
Its use is to give the caster a home advantage and indirectly as a distraction while the caster prepares.))
Too bad for Lutia, Viva was expecting a ambush. The shotgun blast goes clean though the illusion dispelling it. As the illusion disappears there was no sign of Viva anywhere inside the wagon.

((I had a feeling you were going to try that xp ))
((Yes but you expected me to be the little girl.))
Lutia moved back behind the hanging clothes and seemed to disappear.
((Actually, viva suspected two possiable options, that one the real,older lutia was hiding, or two she reverted back to a childlike form. As soon as you mentioned hiding places I immdeatily knew you were planning a ambush. Its a classic tactic. Pretty good. Just not good enough.))

Viva grins from his spot outside. He had saw the flash bang and heard the shotgun. Viva raises a hand and a pillar of lava shoots out form below the wagon incenerating it.
((True but I still hold home advantage which has allowed for amateurs to defeat vetrans.))
A spring activated inside the wagon as Lutia was flung upward into the air. She imediently fires the shotgun at Viva with the unique bullets designed to harm a persons magical ability as deeply as the bullet wound.
((true...but that can change.))

In her haste to attack she didn't even notice that Viva wasn't immedatly outside the wagon. Instead he was far away watching with his superior vison. He grins from on top of the big tent.

"Time to end this." viva holds out his left hand with his palm facing down.

The sky above suddenly turns black and stars start to become visable even though the sun was also out. Pinpricks of light suddenly rush though the carnival all converging at the top of the tent.

Viva body contuintes to absorb a tremendous amount of light till his entire body was shrouded in a intense light. He then focuses all of that light into his left palm. Sweat starts to bead on his forehead as a large white disk of energy appears spinning slowly while suspended form his palm.

Viva winds up and hurls the disk down towards Lutia.

"Solairis Gar'ran!"
((Sunwind Disk-A version of the Solairis that Viva created. It draws in a large amount of light like the regular solairis, the only thing is that instead of draining him , it fuctions more like a spell only being able to be used once every week. This is nothing more than a highly concentrated solairis with a few .....other....properties that you'll find out soon enough. ))
((This is fun. xd ))

Lutia fires the shotgun again, this time at the disc. It makes contact dispelling it instantly. It might be a powerful attack but a nullifying bullet would dispell it regardless. Unless of course if it was fueled by life force. The bullet continued its path nearly hitting Viva it leaves a burned line along the side of his head.
Lutia lands atop one of the many smaller tents and begins running up along one of the many wires connecting the smaller tents to the larger main tent.
She switches out the advanced chainsaw for a curved shield. ((I know...this is one lonnnnggg fight!))

The Solairis Gar'ran slices though the bullet withoutany sign of slowing down.

((It acts like a spell, but it is a physical attack. Therefore it can't be Nullified.))

The disk suddenly changes direction and hurtles right for Lutia.
((On top of that I still have a fair number of trump cards. xd ))

Even though it only grazed him Viva would feel a dramatic shot to his magical ability. Lutia quickens her pace along the tight rope and readies the shield to try and block Viva's attack.

((Don't underestimate this attack's power. When it is complete this will could be Viva's most powerful attack. ))

To bad the shot was destroyed be the Solairis Gar'ran. The as the disk approaches, it warps into a large orb of energy. As it closes in, it dentoates. Even somone twenty miles away could see the titanic yellow dome of light streching out over the horizon. Tempertures over 4,o00,000 degrees insatnly vaporise the carnival and glasses everything within five miles. A powerful shockwave rips though the area shattering the ground and ripping trees out by the roots before they are vaporised. All in all it was a powerful sight to behold. When the light finally dies down where the carnival once was, now was a huge red hot crater large enough to hold a small village.
((I believe it. Before I continue however could you tell me what happend to Viva if the entire location was destroyed? And why if he was afraid to harm an inocent child did he just destroy the entire location?))
((Simple. Viva's own attack won't hurt him. Other wise it would have been a sucide move. Viva decided to destory the carnival after Lutia showed herself convincing him that it was a Illusion therefore the people weren't real to begin with. If Lutia was the little girl then he probaly would've acted differently since she made no hostile actions towards him.
As the dust from the massive explosion clears Lutia is seen standing on level ground. The shield she was wielding is glowing white from heat with a number of cracks running through it.
The ability to absorb the impact of a single shot. Even as blessed as it was it was nearly not enough.
She looked around warily.
If I did not have all of that time to recover before I would have been in grave danger.
((Thats proably the only time I'm ever going to use a Solairis against another person. Most people would say a attack of that magnitude is godmodding...well...some mods is Byako would.....{uncreative asses.} So I usally don't use that size of attack and when i do unleash it only on NPCs))

Viva appears in front of her and bring the mallet back down ontop of the sheild. As the mallet makes contact it also lets out a powerful shockwave and jets of steam on the already weakened sheild.
((Well Byako would and has killed people for destroying districts, mods have been demoted over it. You would probaly not get off unscratched.))

It was nearly destroyed but it is still functional.
The shield, blessed by a divine god of revenge had a unique ability. It could absorb any attack and then release it again in kinetic energy. When Viva appears Lutia rams forward with the shield having the shield and hammer connect full on.
There was a powerful shock wave as nothing happened for a moment then the mallet shatters into a large number of shards, many of which lodge into Viva's arm.
The shield disappears after that, being summoned back to the temple from where it was acquired.
She draws the Chainsaw and rushes forward.
The moment the mallet shatters it liquifies. The mercuy looking liquid rushes back together and reforms back into the mallet.

Viva lets loose a shockwave form the mallet and knocks Lutia back. He swings the hammer building up steam inside it.
((Could the mallet recover from the force of your solaris channeled into kinetic energy so easily?))
((The weapon was destoryed, but did you forget that it has Isolonium in it? Not as much as to be unbreakable, but the hammer has some of its other properties. Isolonim in a smart material. In its solid form it is idestruciable and can harness energy and amplify it. But when applied with a certain type of energy and a certain sound frequency it froms into its liquid state when is easily pliable and becomes self healing. So all Viva had to do was activate the Key, reduce it a liquid form and it would automacially reform. ))
((I was just surprised to discover it was breakable.))

Lutia is pushed backwards by the shockwave and fires two more slugs into Viva's chest. Switching out the shotgun for a harpoon gun which she fires a second after the gun discharges.
((It has Veins of Isolonium in it, not made of it compelty...therefore it can withstand most attacks except for the most strongest ones. If destoryed the weapon would then revert to a liquid like state then reform again. ))

Viva deflects the slugs with another shockwave. Seeing the harpoon gun, he lets out a powerful jet of steam the deflects the harpoon. Viva then grabs the barb, and pulls yanking the gun out of Lutia's hands.
Once Viva grabs the barb it releases an electrical surge strong enough to killer a titan, a being a thousand times Viva's own size. The electrical surge goes on for a minute.
Taking a dvantage of the opertunity Lutia pulls out the gun and fires aslug right into Viva's stomach. The shot would effectivly rob him of his magical abilities until he could recover.
"Care to surrender, if your still alive?"
Viva takes the hit but is still standing. It takes him a moment for his nervous system to recover.

"Surrender? I thought we were just going though a warm up boss."
Viva suddenly drives a knee into Lutia's stomach making her instinctly double over, where he then lands a powerful upppercut to her jaw lifting her up in the air. As her feet come up off of the ground viva delivers a open palm strike to her abdomen sending her rocketing backwards giving him the space needed for his next more.

Viva drops the hammer and takes off his jacket and shirt revealing his bare chest.
His Clanmark starts to grow and the wind picks up carrying dozens of whispering voices on it.

Viva starts to radiate intense amount of energy as he starts to change. His hair grows down to his shoulders. It changes form it's normal dark blonde color to a deep crimsion at the roots while being a jet black after that. His eyes lighten up form their normal blueish green to a palce ice blue. His muclses buldge and he grows 10 feet tall. The veins in his forearms begin to pulse with a white light.

Viva, now in Anceint form smiles. "Come on boss."
((Finaly we are getting close to the finale.))

Lutia recovers from the assult in time to see Viva transform.
"Certainly."
Lutia taps the medal on her jacket a few times before she begins her assault.
Lutia rushes forward firing off slugs from her shotgun at Viva until she was close enough to swing at him with her Chainsaw.
The slugs bounce off of his skin. The low velocity rounds form a shotgun weren't enough to do anything more than leave a small bruise on. him. Viva moves fast and appear infront of her. He wraps a large hand around her head and slams her into the ground causing a the ground to shatter underneath her form.
Before he was able to begin slamming her downwards head first Lutia Sliced upwards with the tecnologicly advanced chainsaw penetrating his skin and slicing several of his viens and tendons allowing her to get free. She continued carving with the chainsaw in an atempt to slice off the arm.
Simulatously she pressed the shotgun against his stomach and fired twice, The shot at point blank range at one of the most vulnerable parts of the body penetrated.
The shotgun shells were able to penertrate his skin but didn't get past the Ancient's armor like muscles.

The chainsaw cuts into his arm slowly making progess. Suddenly the blade begins dissolving as acid like blood hits the weapon. Seeing how Lutia was preoccupied with her attackes, Viva reaches out and grabs her right arm. He gives it a squeeze shattering the bones, and crushing the limb with little effort.
The slugs do there work, eating away Viva's already depleted magic to prevent him from using future spells.
Lutia seals her mouth shut to keep herself from screaming from the pain.
Switching out the ruined chainsaw for the Insturment she plays the saxaphone part of it, shattering Viva's equilibrium to give her a chance to get free from his grip.

Holding her broken arm close to her chest Lutia switches out the insturment for an oval device, holding it ready.
Viva looks right into Lutia's eyes. His pale eyes seem to chill the air around her form the eye contact. The wound on his arm quicky heals as well as the wound form the slugs, which his muscles pushed out of his body before they could drain him any more. Viva disappear. The next thing Lutia knows is that Viva's huge fist was merely inches form her face and coming in at a inceidable velocity.
The glasses prevent eye contact from being made. Expecting Viva to move quickly she drops the device at Vivas feet and cartwheels backwards. The device goes off and sinks Viva into the ground up to his waist and hardens into a substance stronger than diamond.
Finaly the medal on Lutia's vest begins to glow as the Jarian door apears behind Lutia. She ducks as it releases a massive energy blast. Similar to the attack used by the Jarian beads before but ten times more powerful.
The beam widened obliterating anthing in its path. The rock face in the distance had the Jarian symbol burned through it.

((That, was the Jarian bases third strongest ability. It would be at least equel o the solaris. However it suffers from a similar penalty. The door cannot be moved for a time after the blast is used and it takes a few hours for the moving ability to be restored.
I should also mention that the Jarian door is indestructible.))
Viva looks up as the door appears. He quickly realizes the danger he is and teleports away from the blast just in time.

((I suppose that before you ask I should explain how he was able to teleport. Since in a rp the defentions and physics of teleportaion can differ I will explain the type the Ancients use. The Ancients can momentary bend space till two places overlap each other, then tear a dimensioal hole though esseintally phasing him form one spot to the other before space snaps back to it orginal form with viva being in another spot. Think of the space being like a like a sheet of paper. with viva being at one end while wanting to go to the other end. He bends the "paper" till the ends overlap then rips a dimenstional hole to "Jump" though the paper to the other end. That said it is a simple matter of overlapping a spot 30 or soe feet away with the ground that surrounds him then "jump" to the spot regardless of what surrounds him.))
The powerful blast floods through the tear in space like awater going down an ajoining channel hitting him with an indirect blast.
Viva endure the blast with only magrinal loss to his spirtiual reserve. Most of the feedback blast was cut off after the space snapped back into form only hitting him with a small portion of the blast. Though it was just a fraction of the attack he loses dozens of souls weaking him a bit. Viva growls angerily before having a idea. He grins as he stands up straight.


((I'm so evil for doing this! twisted ))
"Brea'nasha ti Sol sor So'lon." ((Illusion of Light and Life. Viva manipulates light and spirtual powers to create a powerful illuison simular to the scroll spell she used to create the carnival. ))

Lutia suddenly black outs. When she comes too she finds herself in a strange vehicle. The doors were locked and they didn't appear to have any mechnaism to unlock. The strange car begins to roll foward. A sign appear that states clearly. "WARNING!! MINE FIELD AHEAD!" The car just pass the sign when a steering wheel appears infront of her and several exotic controls.
Lutia takes the controls and tries to drive it only for it to flip over and crash short of the mine field.

((It is not that Lutia has a fear of driving it is that she is very very baaad at it. She produces similar results from jets or tanks.))
((I know twisted ))

Luckly...or unlucky however you look at it , The car contuines to drive forward, cept now upside down.Since Lutia couldn't see the whole outside of the vehicle it would be unknown how it moved. The car passes the sign and enters into the minefield
Lutia draws her ring and after looking around presses the small unassuming white button in the panel.
The car suddenly shoots forward going faster into the mine field. Explosions rip around the car as it passes close to mines.
Confident that she would be safe for the moment Lutia draws a demonic splint given to her by Miso Tempura the ISA leader as a goodwill gift and sets it onto her broken arm.
A dark piece of work but controlable.
She flexes her arm a few times.
Reaction time is a little slow but it is managable.
To bad for her the car runs over a mine and blows though the air . it flips though the air and smashes into the ground before flipping back over onto its wheels. It becomes clear that Lutia should pay attention to the road.
The beads suround Lutia in a bubble connecting the the sides of the van to prevent her from flying about. With her wounds tended to she pulls one of the levers.
The vehicle tilts on two wheels and runs over another land mine.
Lutia presses a random button using the time to recover her strength.
suddnely a computreized voice echos form within the car. "Self destruct activated. Self Destruct in...Five minutes."
Finaly.
Lutia breathed calmly as she concentrated on the beads so she could control a larger number of them for her shield.
Suddenly her beads disappear leavingher without the possiablity of the sheild.

"Self Destruct in...Four Minutes, Thirty Seconds....Please Enter Abort code."

((Since this is Illusion per sae Viva can contorl what is going on. Think of it like a "test" twisted ))
Lutia taps her glasses, amused.
She looks down at the keypad in roman numerals and puts in VIVA.

((The diffrence here is that the scroll was an illusion that effected the mind directly. However yours functions by bending light with illusion magic and Lutia's glasses see through illusions so she has been playing along to get time to recover.))

((not nessceary..it affects the mind's interpertaion of what they see and affects the spirt of those under its effect causing them to belive what they see to be real. Lutia's glasses would have no effect since its all in her head. ))

"Code Rejected. Self Destruct in Four minutes."
The vehicle hits another land mine. Sparks shoot of the console as the entire vehicle shakes badly. If she kept going straight it would soon lead to her demise.
A thought came to mind and Lutia tried to go straight sending the vehicle in the oposite direction.
Luckly for her the path she had already taken was void of land mines, but the question was could she stop the self destruct in time?
Lutia driving with one hand draws a screwdriver and with quick precision begins taking apart the control panel. In a few minutes she had the bomb deactivated and the vehicle would be without power.
As the power supply goes out the voice starts to speak.

"Warning...incoming Air.." the voice then gives out..

In the distance the familar buzzing hum of approaching aerial dones grows louder .
Lutia draws the chainsaw and waits for the oncoming attack without worry.
((umm..how's a chainsaw going to help her when she's stuck in a car in the middle of a mine feild with a incoming air strike?))
((Simple enough. She can survive the force of flying about the car and intends to wait for the air strike to destroy the vehicle so she can escape. Not easily srvivable but she would take her chances.))
((Umm I'm going to give you a chance to change that tactic otherwise Viva will win this fight. Ancient's don't use convential exploxives that rely on kinteic and thermal damage that modern explosives do. The cause non collateral damage by realeasing a energy that destory organic matter down to a atomic level. Otherwords Lutia will be compelty vaporsized and the car along with anything nearby will sustain no damage. As I see it she only has four options. One Surrender. Two. Stay in the car and die, three try to find away to get the doors open and run though the mindfield hoping she's lucky enough to escape the air strike and not step on a land mine in the process, or four try to restart the car and drive away. Well those are the only options i can think up, if you have something else then your welcome to try it of course! ^_^))
((No. I believe not. Besides, if Viva would bother to alter the illusion so that Lutia could not use her weapons he would easily alter the illusion so that the car is unbreakable.))

Her feather moved in her hat as a scroll appeared on her person.
Finished sealing.
She uses the Dispell scroll erasing the illusion.

((Or I could just go around it.
Once she uses a scroll it takes some time but a new one will take its place.
And with how long this match has gone the first scroll would have been about now.))
((There is just one problem before I contuine. Lutia wouldn't know it was a Illusion. It trick the soul and mind into beliving that what they see is real. Her body is still with Viva but her mind is trapped in the Illuison which for all she knows, Viva could've knocked her out then taken her there. ))
((Ah but there would be no other explanation how a weapon as powerful as the ring could disapear.
Magic is somehow involved. Wheather it is all one big illusion or her ring is hidden the scroll will reveal that by dispelling the effect.
Speaking of which the same could have been said about the carnival. There was no actual way for Viva to know for sure that it was illusion.))
((but you never stated that Viva shouldn't know it a Illuison. And he did treat it as real till the last moment when he decided to chance it. But Very well I'll allow the Illusion to be dispelled. Besides It gained enought time for Viva to do his thing. Just remeber what I said, her body never left the site only her mind..))

The Illusion fades bringing her back into the real world. The next thing she would feel was pain. Alot of pain. She was bloody and battered. She had at least two broken ribs, several deep cuts across his body as well as other wounds. While she was trapped in the Illusion, her body was at the mercy of Viva.

((I downplayed it alot. Those are all minor wounds intead of major wounds that she should've reciveaed form a attacking ancient. But I figured since you didn't know the effects that I wouldn't take advantage of you.))
((That is because the spell was not an illusion it was a mental journey. He was inside memories.
Looks like I will have to take the kid gloves off and stop going easy on Viva.))

The demonic gauntlet however was on her arm. Even though she placed it there in her mind its unique abilities made it appear in reality.
Lutia ignored the massive amounts of pain and stood up.

((Viva can survive anything with the exception of brain damage correct?))
((It is about time we both got serious And no, viva can surive brain damage as well in Ancient form. Viva doesn't need his organs to survive. He has enough spirtual energy to live without having a fuctioning organs. The only real physical harm that affects him is to his skeletal and musclar structure. But Lutia doesn't know that.))

Viva's eyes flare white. Bolts of electrcity sparks across his body every few seconds form his enhanced bio elecritcal impulses. He turns his left side facing Lutia and waits.
((I am just confirming how far I can push it.))

Lutia with the chainsaw in one hand waits for Viva to make him move. The damage slowing her down a little.))
Viva looks around taking in his evnvoirment. He simply raises a hand and lets out a beam of light form his palm. A simple attack.
Lutia timed the easy attack and activated the guantlets functions the instant the blast hit. Taking it head on.
The demonic gauntlet glowed for a moment and and the injuries one Lutia desapeared. Viva would begin to feel terrible pain as every cut, gash and broken rib transfered to Viva. Lutia was completly refreshed and stepped backwards slowly towards her goal.
Won't be long now.

The Jarian door opened and Lutia stepped inside. But not before she fired a couple other shots at Viva with the shotgun. This time aiming for his eyes. No matter how evolved a race the eye would remain a vulnerable target.

((The demonic gauntlet has the ability to transfer damage to another person. However it has the side effect of bringing that damage back to her at any time in the future without warning.
Naturally this is not something one would rely on.))
((actually Lutia's arms would've just been vaporised. When facing anything demonic, Anceint technology or attacks grow incredaby powerful. During the last attack on Mecha Main Street. Data towers deployed demonic airships. Viva was using a cannon form a Ancient TAnk drone that he had salvaged. normally this weapon would have only punched a whole in the side of the ship, but since it was demonic each blast vaporized at lease one entire ship if not two sometimes. But since we can't say that Lutia had her arms destoryed cause it wouldn't make sense on how she got them back. But this isn't something that i can overlook. Its a core feature in Ancient Combat. So what damage are you willing to take for it?))
((Destruction of the guantlet and first degree bruns on the arm wearing it? I somehow suspect our alliance with ISA would not have worked well for you if they had not been destroyed.))
((make it second degree burns. I would say thrid but Lutia's skin falling off in blackned bloddy chucks doesn't sound something you would agree to. With ISA.. viva isn't the biggest fan of Demons and Vampires but he tolerates them as long as they don't attack innocent people. Oh its your turn.))
((The nature of the light spell is relativly weak and the ability of the demonic gauntlet would transfer damage to Viva. I will accept second degree burns if you insist.))
((It would be ...preferred at least. First degree burns aren't that damaging. Just bare surface burns, second in mid skin level burns, with third being complete skin layer burns. The attack alone without being amplified would have done around second degree burns anyway. ))
((Alright, first degree burns then.))
((alfirhg fine whatever. not that important anyway. Got other plans in mind.))
((Well, getting back to the point. Lutia entered the door and Viva is injured.))
Viva instantly heals seeing how most of the wounds were fleash wounds. He looks around and waits for Lutia to show what she has in mind.
The Jarian door remains open, almost inviting him to enter.
Viva laughs and shakes his head. Who did she think he was? He knew it was a trap to go though the door. He wasn't going to walk into the door unless he had a clue on what was on the other side.

((U am assuming that the door can link to other places other than the Base right?))
((Nope. Just the base. The trick is the door is usualy mobile allowing it to act as a door to other locations.))
A whistling sound could be heard from within as something could be heard, coming.
Viva's eyes narrow. He looks up to the sun. The sunlight dulls as he absorbs it directly. He takes a step back and waits for whatever was coming out.
The whistling stopped. For a moment nothing happened then all hell broke loose.
A large number of spiritual shots came from within the ase as Viva was targeting by an unknown source.

((Recall for a moment that the Jarian base holds every weapon the clan has ever picked up over the ages.))
((alright then if you want to bring out the big guns fine then. twisted ))

Viva grins and raises his hand with the crystal still on it. Most of the shots miss him, but whenever one does hit him a brillant flash of light surrounds him.
((You wanted to bring things to a head. and I assure you I have not even begun to bring out the Big guns yet. twisted ))

The shots continued followed occasionaly by a large cannon shot of spiritual energy designed to take down a gunship.
Viva remains standing there with his hand out. Still any shot that hits him a brillaint flash of light appears.
The heavy fire continues showing no signs of letting up or changing tactics.
"Broug" ((Death))
PostPosted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:15 am


A dark purple dome surrounds the door blocking the shots.
The Jarian door begins to close, sealing itself off from the outside world.
((you want viva to go in don't you?))
((It is at a stalemate. There is no way for Viva to force Lutia out after all. It is either go inside or sit on your hands.))((alright then))
Viva's curoisty finally get the better of him as he heads inside.
The door closes on the dark room. The first thing Viva would notice is his telaportation abilities were blocked.

((The warp Jammer was created by Neo who comes from possibly the only race with an older heritage than the Ancients. It was designed to stop any and all attempts. Even those made by Jarians.))
Viva smiles as the warp Jammer kicks in. He looks around and waits for Lutia to show herself.
The lights kick in showing a large room with a door across the way where Lutia sits in a simple chair.
A number of steel golems form from the floor three times Viva's size and twice his strength. A number of spiritual cannons form from the walls and ceiling followed by a quartet of anti-magic tanks.

((Jarian defenses level four out of ten. The entrance hall is a well fortified super defense array. Lutia held off an invasion from three members of the Library solo and this hall was half the cause.))
((now heres a question. Why would the jarians base defenses target a jarian?))
((The Jarian defenses in the entrance hall are keyed to Lutia and thus function to her commands. While in the compound in the Jarian guild we use a mental hologram for tests in the main base we use the customizable entrance hall for testing and training.))
((okay...now describe what this warp jammer does exactly. ))
((To be perfectly honest the specifics escape me. But if someone outside was to try warping in they would get a terrible backlash. If someone from inside was to try it the spell or device would not even activate.))
((but in Viva's case it neither a spell or device. What I'm asking is, what would it stop. Viva from bending space on itself or "jumping" though dimensions?))
((Possibly both. Time lord technology is not something I quite grasp. All I know is that short of turning it off manually the device has a 100% success rate.
That is a large part of the reason we did not use simple methods to retrieve the base.))
((alright)) Viva looks around as the defense and raises a eyebrow. He wasn't expecting all of this. He takes a combat stance and waits for them to make the first move.
Steel hands come up from the floor gripping Viva's legs, crushing them as the tanks and remaining golems begin there approach menacingly.
The cannons begin firing at Viva steadily at a weaker level than before.
Viva ignores the hands that grab his hands. He holds out both his hands and two disks of light form similar in shape to the Solairis Gar'ran. He then hurls the disks at the the walls, while brilliant white flashes of light illumate the area whenever one of the spirtuatal attacks impacts his shield. The disks hit the walls and bounce off. They begin increaseing speed as they bounce off the walls, slicing though the cannons, tanks and golems.

(( I was seriously thinking going Ascendant there. Those golems are proably one of the rare creatures that could force him to Ascendant. ))
((Heh. I still have that trump that is still invisible.))

A number of the mounted guns are destroyed in the attack and three of the golems falls however eventually the two discs come in contact with the tanks and flicker out like a match in the ocean.
With a loud painful snap both of Vivas legs are crushed mercilessly, threatening to amputate him.
The remaining golems and the anti-magic tanks converge upon Viva.

((Heh. When you first joined the Jarians I knew little about your character and gave you a trial that was a cakewalk.
Later when you reappeared and began to show off your true abilities I began to imagine what your real trial would have been.
You could say that I have planned for this moment.)) Unfourtnuly for the tanks, while they could protect against magic, they weren't prepared for physical attacks. The tanks are quickly sliced apart by the disks. When the hands squeeze on his legs a brillant flash of light engulf him. As the crystal on his right hand stops glowing it reveal the two hand that had grabbed him were complety vaporised.

Viva looks at the crystal on his hand. He could only activate his sheild for a few more attacks. He raise a hand and lets out a powerful blast of concentrated light.
While the tanks had trouble against the discs due to there physical properties the remaining ones had no trouble against the concentrated light.
The three felled golems sink into the floor as the remaining spirit guns set into the walls and ceiling began heavy fire upon Viva.
((you keep forgetting that almost all of Viva light based attacks are phyiscal. He generates and shapes the light naturally. Its no diffrent than someone who has a increased sense of smell due to their race. ))

Viva dodges most of the shots, whatever rounds do hit him are blocked by the protective field that surrounds him form the crystal.
Viva reaches into his pocket for something. He pulls out a small cubed shaped object. He sidesteps another blast aimed for his head and hurls the device onto the ground. The next thing Lutia knows is that all of the remaining tanks and turrents begin firing on each other.
Three pairs of metal limbs shoot up from the ground grabbing his limbs, torso and head and begin to crush him.
The tanks continue there volleys against one another however the turrets almost imediently recover and begin there shots against Viva again.

((I should probaly have mentioned the golems are not easily killed.
Oh, and the turrets are made out of an alien nano-machine that are designed to rebuild damage to the walls and form into various modes of fire power. Created by Justice with his alien tecnoledgy.))
((actually the turrets won't be able to recover. the device Viva used scramble programming into tricking the machine to attacking each other. This could even be used on ancient drones and work. though viva doesn't have many of these devices. Now are the limbs form the golems or are they the nano machines?))
((The limbs are from the three golems that sank into the floor that appeared to be dead.
My argument with the turrets was that a foreign technology could overcome the jammer. Though if it is as good as you say then very well.))
((What ablites do these golems have?))
((Incredible strength and size, able to meld into the floor, still alive even if 75% of it is destroyed and the ability to eat other metals to regenerate.
The Jarians possess thirty of them and ten of them are fighting you now. They cannot survive for long periods outside of the Jarian base which is one of there most notable weaknesses.
((are they alive? or are they machine?))
((There not mechanical though it is difficult to say whether there 'alive'. Iron golems are not the most obvious of sentient races.))
((so they have no spiritual energy?))
((Well at some level everything has spirit energy. People, trees, rocks. If your asking if the actual attacks persay are spirit based then...No. However they are physically on par with your ancient form.))
((Okay then so i can go ahead with what I have planned)) Viva burst into water as the limbs make contact with him. Viva using his superior speed rips the arm off, and leaps away.
He came between the various tanks and turrets and gets caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile the severed arms sink back into the floor.
A loud popping sound could be heard as though a form of current was moving through the air.
Viva burst into water as soon as he notices his mistake. He reforms as soon as the last of the tanks and turrets are destoryed.
Several of the blasts however hit him in his liquid form severely damaging him in his more vulnerable fluid state, weakening him both spiritually and magically.
The score of iron golems converged upon Viva beating down on him with there suprior strength the moment he reformed without fear of being caught in the cross-fire.
After the golems stop their attacks they would discovered Viva coated in plates of Isololuim. Viva stands up wearing a strange suit of Isolonuim and crystal plate armor. The armor was extreamly decorative with designs of dragons made of gold inlaid into the armor along with several colored crystal stones. He looks over at Lutia.

"I've never had to use the Sai Avi Armor before. But you should know that your little toys have no chance of damaging this armor. "

((Sai Avi Armor- A suit of armor existing in the Key of Kel'lor. The armor is inheirted by each Sai Avi with the Key. It was the pinnicale of defensive technology created by the Ancients before their fall. It is made of solid Isolonium and crystal with veins of liquid Isolonium running inside the armored plates. The armor can morph into several shapes and create weapons at will. The armor is said to be complety impervious to all damage. {I'm still working on this as well so there are some effects that are not completed yet so i might improvise a bit}))
((Now explain this for me...Viva is a half ancient meaning his powers are limited in comparisons to a full ancient. He has hundreds of diffrent abilities, skills, weapons and tecnoledgy and he is able to take on hundreds of thousands of things of the dark atribute by himself.
However an army of darkness was able to wipe out there entire species merely because a few hundred of there kind turned traitor and a vampire was half ancient?

Also, the damage while he was in liquid form connected correct?))
(( Viva is a half ancient true, but unlike most people do, he isn't weaker because he is a half-blood. Now if it was a quater or below then yes, but not half. I haven't fully worked out the details and limitations yet but esseintally in ancient form he is as powerful as some of the stronger Ancients, some of the limitations are his regenerative ablites take more out of him than a full blood, and he doesn't fully understand all ancient technology. I'm still working on more though.

Now The Ancients were never really beaten in battle in the Millena War. Instead they just all reached their kill limit and Ascended. It was sorta like a war of attrition. Ara would send vast armies to a anceint city. The Ancient would begin annihlating the army, but after awhile they couldn't handle any more spiritual power gained form those they kill and shed their physical bodies. The ancinets were never a well populated race. they only had a few million total, compared to billions of demons and vampires. Viva already Ascended which is how he has the Ascendant form. If i wanted to I could simply have Viva Ascend and make his way out of the base. He would be invisavle and intangiable to anything in this plane of exsitence. All of the Ancients are still around but they are in a energy/etheral form. They do not interfere with the living on this plane of existence for reasons unknonwn.

And yes some round did hit him and weaken him some, but since he was in water from the damage would've been greatly reduced. Oh the just to let you know, the Sai Avi armor can be damaged by only though extreme force. It also doesn't cover viva's head which is explosed. but the rest of him is encased in the suit. ))
((That makes some sense. I should warn you however that the Jarian base exists in a very unique pocket dimension so even asension or death would not allow someone to escape unless the front door was opened.
As I said the Jarian base is a really tough nut to crack.))

Lutia sat in a chair next to the inner entrance watching the performance.
"Don't get to confident now."

The Iron golems grabbed him easily restraining him and began pounding him with there superior strength, one of the blows connected with his unshielded head.
While individually they were only so strong that many hits from so many of such superior strength would have a small but sure impact on the Ancient.
A faint shimmer could be seen in the air for just a moment as what looked like a wall, approaching the golems and Viva.
Unfourtnlty the golems hands stops a few centimeters from Viva having encoutered some type of energy feild. Viva eyes glow for a moment before they are all incased in a dome of white light. When he light fades the golems were no where to be seen.
The remaining golems sunk into the ground as the shimmer in the air reached Viva and began to surround him. The space around it seemed to darken not with a supernatural darkness but as if the light was being swallowed.
Viva looks around. He knows something was about to happen. He sighs heavily. He really didn't want to have to do this.

"Touoi" ((Activate.))

The armor suddenly seems to come alive as his appearance starts to change slightly.
The crystal veins in the armor glows brightly. Light builds up at his back before solidifying into a pure snow white cloak with a golden eight point startburst emborderied on it. Two curved blades extend form the the armor's elbow joints. dozens of four inch long spikes extend form the front of the suits knee joints. Three crystals appear on his the back of his right gauntlet in the form of a triangle. A dark blue holoscreen appears over his right eye and starts relaying information to the Ancient. Viva lifts up his left hand. He flicks his wrist up. A panel opens underneath his wrist and a sword hilt launches out. Viva catches the sword. He flicks his hand again. The hilt hisses loudly. With a soft pop, a translucent blue blade appears. A deep blue aura surrounds his body as he falls back into a into a swordsman stance.
The formless aura begins swallowing all the light around Viva, surrounding him in a perfect dome.
From outside of the dome it appeared as though an empty void had appeared in the middle of the room.
((what is this suppose to do?))
((The effect will kick in before long in the RP.
Basicaly this 'aura' will absorb any and all light inside of it be it magical in nature or natural. People can go in and out of the dome but Viva cannot because it is keyed to him.))
Hands shot up from the ground and pulled him down until he was laying on the ground helpless. A metal hammer formed from the ground as a hand came out of the ground and held a spike over the ancients arm. The hammer swings downward nailing his arm into the floor.
The spike shatters on contact with the armor. They were now in a stalemate. He couldn't move, and she couldn't peirce his armor.
The gole, hand reaches over and begins to squeeze Viva's head with its superior strength as the arm wielding the hammer arc downwards to his brow.
Both attacks stop short when they encounter the armors energy field . Viva growls and lets out a blast of light trying to free himself.
The light is devoured instantaneously by the aura surrounding him that continued to capture and eat away at the light.
The attacks continue, the superior force draining away the energy field little by little.
Viva flexes his muscles. The crystal layer in his armor begins releasing tremdous amounts of energy. He rips though his bonds and leaps away.
The golem arms with there superior strength catch him in midair and slam him back into the ground headfirst.
Viva places a hand on the ground and flips burning off momentum. He lands and strike the nearest golem with a open palm strike. The golem suddenly bursts apart.
The hand falls apart sinking back into the ground.
The arms of the metal golems continued there assult upon Viva without the golem forming from the ground.
The light absorbing aura blocked light for Viva's eyes to refract.
Viva ducks and doges their attacks. He manages to get near the barrier.Three crystal spikes lance out form the back of his armor and stab into the dome. They slowly begins to absorb it.
The aura was a trackless void that neither light nor time could escape from. The absorbtion of the dead aura drained the armor of what little energy it had left and threatened to spread to Viva.
If not dealt with he would be lost in a trackless void that even divine power would be incapable of escaping from.
((the armor has a limitless supply of energy it would be impossiable for it to be complety drained. and besides how is he suppose to get out of void that he can't teleport out, can't break out, and can't disable. You have to have a way out. ))
((It is not preventing him from moving it is surrounding him in a dome-shaped aura that absorbs light, drawn to the strongest source. It is an absence of light which is not something that can be absorbed.))
((so it just absorbs light?))
((Correct. It absorbs the light your using in attacks and the natural light before it can reach you.))
((so it just follows him around and negates his light based attacks. but its not a barrier. right? Just want to make sure that i understand this fully.))
((Correct. Otherwise the Golem hands would not have been able to grab you. It also acts to cancel out your eyesight))
Viva remains quiet listening for the golems. He starts to back up making his way over to where Lutia was.
The hands move through the ground towards Viva effortlessly and make another grab for him.
Lutia remains seated watching Viva's approach, amused.
Viva contunies to move back to Lutia, dodging a hand that shoots out at him every now and then.
A golem fully forms out of the ground before Viva and hits him with a punch strong enough to send him flying out of the room.
Lutia hits the arm of the chair producing a drink and sits back to enjoy the show.
Viva sensing the attack ducks under the punch. He rolls away from the golem. He figures he was close enough.

"So'lon'ah toragon!" ((Soul Release)) Suddenly dozens of ghost like apparitions shoot out of the dark dome. They disappear in the floor, walls and ceilings. While some of them circle around the room. One passes though the golem and it drops having its "Life" stolen. Ten more pass though Lutia but don't seem to have any effect....yet.
The apirations are banished before they reach Lutia as though Viva's assault could not effect him until his trial was over.
The golem falls sinking slowly into the ground as three pairs of arms rise up and begin pulling Viva into the ground.
((ther the golems are dead. Viva just destoryed their life energy. Well more like sucked it out. ))
((He destroyed the one out of the ground but three others were still under it.))
((guess i didn't explian the attack very well... the other "souls" that entered the celing, walls and floor were there to deestory the other ones.))
((I see now.))
With the golems destroyed new turrets formed from diffrent walls and began the assult again.
((As if I would use them all at the start.))
((I have a question abou the turrets. Which type of spritual power do they use? do they use spirtual energy or do they destroy spirtual energy? ))
((There nano machines powered by an unknown alien power source that can convert there projectiles into a wide veriety of types from spirit energy, lasers to metal slugs.))
((yes but what type of spiritual energy?))
((Just assume that it can alter the make up of the shot to vary between the two.))
To bad for lutia they begin using the wrong type of energy agasint him. As the rounds hit the armor, it begins to hum. A intense dome of light appears around it. At first it was starting to be absorbed by the field, but it soon overwhealms the light eating field.
((Care to explain the logic behind that?))
((well. thats why i asked what type of energy it uses. if its is pure spiritual power then it can be absorbed like a soul..but it if used 3energy that desotry spiritual energy then it would sever the links. Though i doubt the guns would make the same mistake twice. Anyway. the armor abosrbed the blasts, ampilfed it and channeled it into viva. With the sudden power boost he created a extreamly powerful dome of light. I went with that it destored the feild in the way that a balloon explodes if you fill it up to much. I aplogize if that would happen. I stilll don't understand the field so i just assumed this would be a logical counter if it is not then tell me and I'll edit it. Oh also waiting on you in the Mindscape. ))
((To break the field you need to use something on the same wavelength as light that is not necesarily light itself.))
((well light has a varied wavelength. so would a amlfied radio signal work? its lower on the spectrum but it was sped up enough and magnified would that work?))
((Yes if it was the right frequency.))
Viva sughs as his efforts fall to the wasteside. He then gets a idea. Maybe he could contact one of the the drones stationed is the base. He amplifies is radios frequency and attempts to broadcast.
((Drones? I assume you are refering to Ancient drones that you placed within the base?))
((but of course! it also give him a good excuse on dispelling the field.))

The radio frequency goes out dispelling the aura around him.
A series of thuds could be heard as Viva's drones flew toward him and crashed into the closed door, breaking in the process.

The turrets auto-correcting began firing shots designed to destroy spiritual energy while 'humming' a familiar tune. While Viva was distracted a number of the shots connect.

The majority of the round slam harmlessly into his body armor. Though a few make contact with his unprotected neck and head doing some damage to his reserves.

The armor on top of his shoulders suddenly morphs into two five barreled mini guns. The guns open up releashing hundreds of rounds in mere seconds.
In the short amont of time that the shots fire. The turrets take heavy damage and seem to rebuild seconds later and continue firing.
The turrets countine to exchange fire. Viva flicks his right wrist. A loud hiss and pop echo form his hand as a energy tower sheild appears. He raises the sheild infront of him and blocks the oncoming round. The two shoulder mounted turrets begin to spin up faster and launch even more projectiles.
Eventually the turret breaks down, expelled from over-use.

Lutia finishes her drinks and stands up, the chair folds back into the wall as Luita claps her hands.
"Well done, well done. Now for the real challenge."
She then takes a stance ready to draw any needed weapons.

((Now for the hard part.))
Viva looks down to Lutia. He was prepared. He shifts his sheild a bit. His left hand tightens on the hilt of his energy sword.
Lutia draws an overlarge gatling gun and 'The sword that cuts steel.' A seemingly ordinary katana.
"You first."

((While Lutia is in the Jarian base she can draw any weapon from the entire armory not just those that she carries. Also she gets a bit of a boost in speed, power and the like.
Lutia is fairly powerful on her own but within the Jarian base she is a force to be reckoned with.))
