(A returning side character; Amanda [b]Inikorin[/b], has been framed for the infamous [b]Arckyve[/b] University cyber attack and hostage crisis, in which [b]CYOKONA[/b] is the actual culprit. Amanda is panicked, strapped to the backseat of a police vehicle.) [b]Amanda:[/b] Officers, I swear on the [b]Arckyve[/b], someone disguised themselves as me to frame me for the cyber attack. I graduated from THE [b]Arckyve[/b] University on great terms, there's no way I would do anything as malicious. [b]Officer 2:[/b] *passenger side* Disguised doesn't seem to far-fetched. *Officer 2 whispers to his fellow officer partner, who's driving. Officer 1 looks doubtful, but then nods.* [b]Officer 1:[/b] Tell you what, Amanda, while we'll be investigating this cyber attack and hostage situation, we'll hold you in the local jail temporarily. Preferably until we gather evidence that you're completely innocent. [b]Officer 2:[/b] And Amanda, you might be in luck because we already know that the Purple Cloaks were behind the hostage situation. *From the sidewalk, a random Purple Cloak member watches as the police vehicle drives off, with Amanda in the backseat. The P.C. member says lowly: [i]"[b]CYOKONA[/b] really did it. He framed an innocent alumnus."[/i] He then pulls out his cator, calling someone: [i]"Boss. It's successful."[/i]* _____________________ [b][i]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/i][/b] _____________________ (At a Purple Cloaks base, the boss [b]Ordos[/b] sits inside his office, with [b]Hasaku, Paraose,[/b] and [b]Chaiodo[/b] with him. [b]Ordos[/b]' cator rings, picking it up and answering.) [b]P.C. Member:[/b] *from the cator* Boss, police has arrested the woman [b]CYOKONA[/b] disguised as. This [b]CYOKONA[/b]....he's conniving and ruthless. [b]Ordos:[/b] Yes. [b]CYOKONA[/b] is a great ally for us. He wields immense power, so stay on good terms with him. [b]P.C. Member:[/b] If it isn't him, then it's this future Saitonia guy he often brings up. [b]Ordos:[/b] Well, there's always someone more powerful. Thanks for the update. Let's see how long she'll be imprisoned, police will likely find more evidence quicker than we could imagine. *hangs up* [b]Hasaku:[/b] Well, we've already been exposed as one of the culprits. It's gonna make it look like that graduate formed some alliance with us. [b]Paraose:[/b] *sigh* Hopefully we have enough protection. [b]Chaiodo:[/b] Damnit. Enough forces are down on our [b]a[/b]sses enough. This future Saitonia better get here sooner and get that tyrant off the throne. [b]Ordos:[/b] Oh, he will, [b]Chaiodo[/b]. _______________________ (Next day, some time in the afternoon in the [b]Alivydia[/b] Forest, Cat and Kav approach [b]Kizani[/b], who is inspecting her railgun.) [b]Kavita:[/b] Ahhh- *raspy exhale* There's the military earthling woman. [b]Kizani:[/b] *quickly turning around, locking eyes with Cat and Kav* Oh, hey. You were at that collaboration event. You saw Saitonia, did you? [b]Cathera:[/b] We probably did, but weren't paying enough attention. You look like you're preparing for a battle. [b]Kizani:[/b] Yes. I saw this purple, gray, and blue airship landing nearby. I've seen them before, and I'm highly sure they're servants of Saitonia. [b]Kavita:[/b] Future Saitonia? [b]Kizani:[/b] Future, current, past, I do not care. I just know he has associates....and uhhh, I don't mind assistance. [b]Cathera:[/b] Well, lead the way. *Cat and Kav follow [b]Kizani[/b] to this part of the forest that [b]Kizani[/b] supposedly witnessed a Saitorealm ship land. Just a few more steps and from a distance, the 3 peer from a glowing blue bush, seeing the airship fitting [b]Kizani[/b]'s description, landed in a field still within the [b]Alivydia[/b] Forest. Scouting the area are 5 Saitorealm minions in Standard [b]Enygma[/b] form Stage 2 and 3 brutes in Beast [b]Enygma[/b].* [b]Kavita:[/b] Sooo, [b]Kizani[/b], *raspy breather* How did artillery soldiers approach their enemies? Just started blastin' with their high-powered weaponry, or a more sneaky approach? [b]Kizani:[/b] Often, we'd use our own personal powers for advantages. *[b]Kizani[/b] summons a tablet etched to her left hand. The tablet then fires out a thin, light green energy line at a brute. The energy line connects, but the brute is unable to feel it. A drawing of that brute then appears on the tablet's screen, then light green energy surrounds [b]Kizani[/b]'s body, forming a copy of the bulky armor of the Beast [b]Enygma[/b], but only on her left side of the body, including a left claw..* [b]Kavita:[/b] So you just summon a tablet, point it at someone, and copy their powers? [b]Kizani:[/b] Somewhat, although I only acquire half of the ability. [b]Cathera:[/b] You could scan them again and get the entire ability. Just hope your tablet doesn't get destroyed. [b]Kizani:[/b] If it does, I can simply summon it again. Let's ambush them, I'd very much recommend your incarnations if you have any. [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh, we do. *raspy exhale* Let's get the drop on them. ___________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *Without having to cut into their body, Cat and Kav transform into their respective incarnations. With the half copy ability, [b]Kizani[/b] leaps up and teleports, reappearing above the squad of Saitorealm henchmen. Using her right hand, she summons forth large, dark gray turrets on one side of the field, activating and firing at the henchmen, wounding one as the others block the fire using energy barriers. [b]Kizani[/b] cancels out the turrets, then descends rapidly, slamming down the brute claw that causes a decently sized shockwave that sends the majority of the henchmen flying.* *Cat catches a standard henchmen right before they hit the ground by using her telekinesis. She then throws them into a brute, who was targeting [b]Kizani[/b]. As that same brute turns toward Cat, it then teleports, appearing right in front of Cat as it goes for a shoulder tackle, but Cat evades with a backflip jump, summoning her bow and firing an arrow that stuns the brute's chest, giving Kav an opportunity to throw multiple shurikens into the back of the brute's head. 2 standards come and unleash claw strikes at Kav, who guards herself while also performing elusive rolls. Kav does one more roll before sweeping the legs of one standard, then drilling a shuriken into their chest, before impaling them in the heart, killing them.* *[b]Kizani[/b] activates an orange energy outline around her body, acting as an overshield. A brute claws into the outline, as loads of purple energy burst out of the brute, draining their energy and disorienting them. [b]Kizani[/b] summons her bayonet railgun, smacking the brute in the face before charging the railgun's power, firing a special, knife-shaped bullet to its face. The bullet then shreds through the brute's head, piercing through the back as the brute drops dead seconds after. [b]Kizani[/b] fires a normal beam at a standard henchmen, who blocks the shot with an energy barrier, only for the beam to cut through the barrier, and into the standard's chest, causing a fatal wound as they drop to the floor. Kav swoops in and finishes the henchman with her Razor Edge Slayer blade, slicing the henchman's face in half.* *Cat kneels down and fires 3 green energy arrows at 3 henchmen targeting her, 2 successfully hit 2 of the henchmen in their chest, while the 3rd one teleports, appearing to Cat's right as it claws at her, Cat swiftly evades, hitting an underhand telekinetic blast, sending them meters in the air. Cat then boosts up to the henchman's level, stabbing them in the under chin with an arrow before finishing them off with a telekinetic explosion. From behind, Kav impales a henchman that Cat has weakened, throwing a large shuriken at the other henchman, slicing deep into its heart as the 2 henchmen drop dead.* *[b]Kizani[/b] aims at a wounded brute with her bayonet railgun, activating an ultimate attack as it transforms into a ridiculously massive artillery gun. She fires at the brute, and the bullet creates a gaping hole inside the brute, leaving behind a decently large explosion that finishes it off.* *The 3 regroup, Cat's eyes flash green, sensing 1 final brute still alive, standing meters away from them purple energy surrounding their entire body as it prepares for some attack.* [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh, of course, *quick exhale* one still somehow remains. *The brute teleports, appearing over the 3, going for a double claw slam, but then the brute becomes frozen while mid-air, black, purple, and slate gray particles cover it. Really unexpectedly, [b]Tomakoda[/b] and [b]Katchikiya[/b] make the save, with Katchi swooping in, cutting through the brute with her colorful staff, then Toma ends the brute by creating some symbol with her futuristic, luminescent katana. The symbol appears on the brute, unleashing explosive slash attacks it in the directions that Toma made to create the symbol, ending the attack with a straight stab through the brute's heart.* [b][i][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/i][/b] _____________________ (Toma lands as the brute's lifeless body crashes onto the ground. Cat, Kav, and [b]Kizani[/b] return to normal.) [b]Katchikiya:[/b] *suddenly turning around, just remembering that there were others already fighting with the same targets* Oh, sorry if I stole your bounty or something. [b]Kavita:[/b] You're fine. No bounties were claimed. *throaty breather, then says to Cat* We would be having a load of trouble of we fought these henchmen 2 years ago. [b]Tomakoda:[/b] *walks to a dead brute, crouching to observe it* Seems like you took out the correct targets. Looks like future Saitonia's henchmen. [b]Kizani:[/b] *instantly butting in* You're also hunting Saitonia? [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
