Ascension - A Race Against Time

[Clown_of_God]

All the girl could do as she floated in the air was laugh, laugh hysterically almost as if she had just heard the funniest joke. When she began to calm down and looked back at Roxy, her eyes flashed red and everything fell back to the ground. As soon as her feet touched, there was no hesitation in her charge.

"Oh, that was fun! What else can you do, gravity bender? Also, why would we use guns when killing gods with our own hands is so much more fun?"

This was what made the God Slayers so versatile, the Seer had explained it to the godlings before. They were able to nullify their powers, practically turning them into mortals. That's when Nikki realized what the God Slayers really were. Not weapons, or some sort of device, but these people themselves.

Creating a wall between them, Nikki watched as the girl merely bounded over it while her partner smashed it with his bare hands. Sure, on the outside they were human, but inside... these people... they were monsters. Jumping back, Nikki barely managed to dodge the large man's fist, but his height and reach were far larger than she anticipated and his other fist impaled her in the stomach.

"Oh, no fair Thresh, you got the first hit. Guess that means I should get the first kill, huh?"

Again, the girl's eyes flashed red as she dashed forward once more. So, this was the extent of their time on Earth, huh? Just barely ten minutes and now they were going to be killed. Nikki lunged to the side, just barely avoiding another attack once again, but the other girl had gotten to Roxy and had kicked her back into Nikki, causing them to tumble over each other.

"Let me ask something of you, gravity bender, where did that confidence of yours come from? Did you really think you could beat something that was made to kill you, like how we killed the previous generation and the pitter patter of the ones scattered about the multiverse? In case you didn't know, but man doesn't need your kind anymore, we've done fairly well without you for the past thousand years or so."

[padfoot]

Roxy's hair pulsed orange and yellow with the pace of her beating adrenalin pumped heart. She looked much like a warning sign. These people....the God Slayers no doubt, were canceling their powers, Roxy could feel it. It was like, trying to pick up something impossibly heavy. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get either one of the attackers to submit to her power over physics. She looked back at Nikki when she created a shield that fit snugly in their alleyway battle zone. Their small victory was short lived when that brute of a gentlemen that was escorting the creepy bouncy girl, smashed through the metal wall. She boosted her defenses just as the girl kicked her in the midriff.

 

Didn't matter. She was returned to normal as soon as she connected. Roxy was thrown backwards, slamming into Nikki in midair. She managed to increase the density of the air around them to absorb some of the impact. Roxy still bit the hell of her tongue. Both girls tumbled to the ground in a heap. Roxy sat up and spit out a mouthful of blood on the dirty asphalt. She looked up at the girl, "That was back when I thought you were going to rob us" she answered almost nonchalantly, "Who said I wanted anything to do with you?" She grinned and rose to her feet, hauling Nikki up after. She held onto her friend's hand for a second longer, "Bail?" she asked. She was sure she could jump them both out of there. So far she learned a few things about the GS's abilities: They can cancel their abilities, they can not be acted upon by their abilities. They only seemed to work with direct contact though. Roxy was about eighty percent sure that she could get them out of there.

[Clown_of_God]

"Oh, but we are robbing you. Taking your life is a form of theft, is it not? Obviously, you don't want to give it up willingly, so we are forcing it from you. Same as stealing, no?"

The girl smiled back at Roxy, her red eyes shimmering in the light as she cracked her knuckles. Two blades extended from her sleeves and they grinded against each other, making the infamous nails-on-chalkboard sound. Smiling even wider, her eyes began to darken, fading into a darker red.

"Do you really think we'd let you escape so easily? Bail, huh? Like get out of jail, run away from a potential fight, keeping from getting caught and so on and so forth. What was it they called you, some Phantom thing? You can warp the space around you, practically forming a black hole, and instantaneously warp to a different location. Believe me, we've been keeping our eye on you for a while and that's how we determined our groups. Ya see, I can jump too."

Suddenly, the girl's eyes went black and she vanished, appearing just behind where Roxy had been standing. Nikki acted on instinct and created another wall, but she was clobbered into her own creation by the giant brute. Hacking up blood, Nikki pulled herself back out of her wall and onto the ground where she immediately projected a pillar of concrete at her opponent. It wasn't as effective as she was hoping.

Not only was he still in the same position, but the concrete had shattered on impact. It was if his face itself was a dense metal. Groaning, she ducked underneath an incoming punch and returned with a punch of her own, one that had the power she had used on Vikare, but her opponent only grimaced slightly like he had just spilled coffee on his best tux. How were they gonna defeat these guys?

By this point, the other girl had already jumped back over the wall and was engaging Roxy once again.

"I gotta say, though, this couldn't have worked out any better. I get space girl and Thresh there gets minerals. Makes me wonder when Mina is gonna start playing with her target and Septre will actually interact with his. Don't get me wrong, you both are luck it's us you're facing against and not Deston. Oh, that one's been around for a while now. Word is, he's the one who killed... what was his name... electric god guy, with the thunder bolts or whatever... Zeus? Yeah, Zeus, severed his head and put it on a pike. I sure am talking a lot, huh, but it's boring when you don't get to see the fear and the strain in your opponents faces. Until you start begging for your lives, I will refrain from killing you so quickly."

[padfoot]

( ( ( she reminds me of Nui)))

 

Roxy's hair flashed red and she unzipped her purse, "Come on, that the best retort you got?", she asked mockingly, "You can come up with something a little more clever than that. She snagged the handle of her bat in her bigger-on-the-inside thigh purse. She swung the aluminum baseball bat around skillfully, taking a few practice swings. If there was something she gained from her time on Lar, it's that she has gotten better at her swing. As the girl charged her again, Roxy twisted her foot outward. She slugged the girl in the face with a regular swing. It was the first time in a while she had done anything without the aid of her powers. Ancient weapon or not, getting hit in the face with a baseball bat hurts.

 

She rotated a hundred and eighty degrees and lined her hip up with the one named Thresh. She whistled to catch his attention, "Oi! Big boy!", she yelled. Roxy swung downward like she was holding a golf club. The metal pinged off the asphalt and kicked a good about of dirt and debris into the air. She smiled and increased the mass of the particles. Huge, person sized rocks hurled towards the big guy. She was sure Nikki would be smart enough to get out of the way.

Thresh merely stayed in his spot, the large bits of rock returning to their previous size and bouncing off his body. Nikki merely glanced at Roxy with a 'Really?' kind of expression before she found herself being launched through the air and into the side of the nearby building. As for the other girl, rather than resist against the swing, she bent herself sideways and flipped over, bringing her heel down on what was now the back of Roxy's head.

Weaving her fingers into Roxy's hair, the girl simultaneously yanked back while driving one of her blades deep into the thigh tissue of her opponent. Smiling, she brought Roxy's face close to hers and looked her dead in the eye.

"Tell me, where's this time lord of yours at? You know, the one that so poorly trains each of you? I ain't gonna lie, I expected a bit more from you, being a space manipulator and all."

She drove her blade in deeper and tugged on Roxy's hair with more implied force. Thresh was preventing Nikki from getting to Roxy at this point, slamming her around like a rag doll and then throwing her down the alleyway.

"You've got a mouth, though, speak a lot of nonsense despite knowing the situation you're in. I guess I should get a little more serious then."

Yanking her blade out, there wasn't even a moment's hesitation from her next action. All Nikki could hear was a liquid pouring onto the ground for a brief moment before Roxy's opponent tossed her into view. In horror, Nikki fell to the ground as she looked at her friend and then further down the alleyway. Sitting in a pool of blood, Roxy's right arm seemed to spaz on the ground for a moment before going limp.

"I should've cut out your tongue, with how rude you are, but I felt a bit generous. Remember when I said I wouldn't kill you until you begged me for your life? Well, I'm gonna leave you with that little reminder for today. Each day we meet, until you begin to beg, you'll lose something from that pleasant little body of yours. Come Thresh, the metal bender wreaks of urine."

With that, the two strolled away like nothing had happened, leaving Nikki and Roxy in the alleyway. This time, Nikki had truly grasped the concept of fear. Not even fighting against herself had established such a feeling. No, this was life or death, formatted into the game of cat and mouse. They were just being toyed with, Nikki knew that much.

Taking a deep breath, Nikki didn't have time to remorse or think about what was going to happen next. What she knew was that Roxy needed to stop bleeding before blood loss took her life over that girl's blade.

"I don't think we can win, Roxy. They weren't even serious during that whole fight."

[Astrodeath311]

[soo, what's my new friend's name? And I'm gonna wait for Ansgar to post first.]

 

 

[voltage]

Matt hadn't been able to find anything so he walked out of the library. He Walked around town mumbling to himself as he walked. He turned down a dark alley as he mumbled. He enjoyed the dark alley way due to its comfort though he could feel a lot of traffic on the next rode mostly shadows of their vehicles though. He had tried to stop it but he was connected with it almost like Ansgar and his sparks but matt's wasn't manifested into anything visible it just was a sensory thing where he felt all the shadows on anything he was on automatically. He was looking for a good hotel for all of them to stay,He knew they couldn't stay here for too long but while here he wanted to try and find a place that they could rest. "this is the place to find a hotel i seem" he spoke out loud to himself.

Roxy cried out when she was pinned to the ground through her leg. Pain ripped through her scalp as the little demon girl yanked on her hair. Of course she didn't know that just pulling on a Phangite's was more painful than what she was doing to her leg. She gritted her teeth, "Why are you worrying about her. I would be more woried about what I'm going to do to you once you let me go", she growled, her hair changing into a blood red under her fingers with her rage.

 

She was not ready for what she did next though. There was a flash of pain in her right arm then, nothing. She tried to scramble to her feet but fell back down on her face. Her limbs did not want to cooperate. She looked back at Nikki with a wild look in her eyes. She noticed that Nikki was staring at something in horror. She followed her gaze and her eyes fell upon her arm laying on the asphalt in a puddle of blue blood. She fell back on her ass and looked at the clean, blood covered space where her right arm had been this morning. She moaned in horror and clutched at her bloody shoulder, "Goddamn * took my arm", she said, applying pressure. She looked at Nikki and forced a smile for her, "It's not all that bad, Nikki", she lied. Truth was that it hurt like hell and her yellow hair was giving away exactly how scared she was. She couldn't focus on that. IF there was one thing that the little girl was wrong about was her training. The only reason she was handling it so well was becasue of the pain tolerance training the Seer had given her. Who woulda thunk that all those beatings would save her life. Roxy reversed gravity and carefully but her weight on her uninjured leg and hobbled towards Nikki, "Come on. Lets go get me some advanced medicine", she said, picking up her severed arm with her free hand, "I want my arm back the next time so I can hurl her into the sun with it". She leaned against the wall to wait on her friend. She wasn't in a hurry or anything, the blood loss was making her dizzy though.

[Clown_of_God]

Nikki ran over to her friend and ripped a piece of her shirt off. Then, she made a cup-like object and stuffed the torn portion inside of it before placing it over what was left of Roxy's arm. Looking at her friend, Nikki wrapped one arm around her and squeezed, while simultaneously tightening the cup around her arm. It acted as a tourniquet, preventing Roxy from losing anymore blood so she could get to a hospital or something and be treated for her injuries.

"As much as I want to get you to a hospital, we need to find the others and get off this planet quickly. I made a mistake and now I've put everyone's life on the line. Here I thought we could blend in with the rest of society, but a drop of blood can draw a shark from five miles away they say."

Keeping her arm wrapped around Roxy, Nikki helped her up and looked around. It seemed like the coast was clear, but with how suddenly those two had appeared Nikki wouldn't pass it by them to suddenly ambush them once more.

"I'm an idiot, I underestimated what they were capable of. We only just became gods, so our experience levels differ greatly. Like throwing a rat into a pit of snakes. This is my fault, Roxy..."

[Thaelasan]

It had left a sour taste in his mouth since he had landed.

He felt them. He couldn't help it. He felt energy, and they had it. The entire time, he was looking over his shoulder as though he was paranoid. Tyler's kind words didn't help much. Ansgar's natural optimism was being challenged to its limits.

It was worse when the boy walked up. Ansgar almost began to lose control of his pure energy form. For some reason he felt.. fear. Real fear. It wasn't the fear of the seer. It was true fear - fear of actual death.

He put his hands in his pockets as well, following Tyler's example, hoping it would calm him down. With a whisper, he sent one of his sparks to follow Nikki, hoping no one saw it. Luckily, it didn't seem so. It landed on her shoulder and merged with her skin slightly, staying hidden.

That's how he knew what had just happened. As they sat down at the bar, Ansgar remembered how old he was now. He could drink! Well, he supposed he should take advantage of that.. And then he witnessed the whole event.

He felt cold, but he also felt resolve.

Someone had threatened Nikki. His fury built within him, overpowering his fear. For some reason, he felt an intense urge to eliminate everything within the planet, sending wave of electromagnetic force after wave out, consuming..

But no. He would wait. Not until someone gave the word. For now, he stood up to his full height, changing his clothes immediately.

"I know you're there." he turned, his entire form changing. His waistcoat extended, becoming white. His face was covered in tattoos of lightning. His eyes changed to white orbs. This was the form he had chosen for his Ascension - the same as Vanguard.

He placed a hand on Tyler's shoulder, frowning.

"They're in here with us. Two of them. They've been watching this whole time.." he sighed, sending a blast of electricity out. It would disrupt people's bio-electric currents, change their clocks.

Everyone in the bar fainted, falling to the ground... except for the two people Ansgar mentioned.

"I'd appreciate if our fight didn't pull more attention than necessary." Ansgar rolled out his shoulder, staring at them. "I wouldn't have started if I didn't know for a fact you're friends with those who hurt the one I love."

He bared both hands, electricity surging.

"And I will rip the entrails from your abdomen with hands of thunder." he seethed. The air around him echoed with thunderclaps. His sword extended into his palm.

"Let us dance." he said, motioning for them to begin.

Nothing would stop him now. If people wished to hunt them like animals, then he would show them he had fangs.

Fangs of lightning.

"Aww, and here I was hoping to get a little friendly with you. Maybe cuddle up, sip on your drink, and take you back to my place for a fun night. Well, fun for me anyway."

Mina hopped off her bar stool and casually smiled, watching as the boy from before walked in through the door, pulling his hood back. Placing her hands behind her head, she walked into the center of the bar and kicked one of the unconscious patrons out of his seat and took his place.

"So, what is it Mr. Electric man? Did my friends get to yours? Was one of them your girlfriend or something? Did they kill her or are they playing with her too?"

[padfoot]

Roxy winced when Nikki wrapped up her shoulder. She felt helpless for the first time since she met the other gods. Roxy hung her head as Nikki spoke, She grew more and more annoyed with the situation, "Thats all fine and dandy but she cut off my damn arm All the rest of you may be able to create things with your powers in case something like this happen but I'm out of luck", she practically yelled. She was panicking and she didn't care. She felt like she had the right after what happened. She needed medical attention or she wouldn't make it back to the ship. She bit her lip and thought, "What if I went ahead to get one of those cool robot arms like space pirates have and caught up with you guys on the ship." she offered, "You can always leave without me. I'm sure I can find you pretty easily". The truth was that she didn't want any of the guys to see her like this. Especially Ansgar. He would probably flip his lid and streak off to get himself killed or something like that. She looked at her friend with pleading eyes. She could take care of herself, handicap or not.

 

Roxy looked at her arm in her other hand. It was giving her the creeps and phantom pains to boot. Some of her Infamosa were tattooed on that arm. She still kept most of her punishment on her back and chest but it was strange. She had physically lost some of that shame her people tattooed on her body. She just wanted her shoulder to stop hurting more than anything at that moment. She gritted her teeth as someone brushed past her bad side. She was putting most of her weight on Nikki and it was slow going with her limp. Yet another reason for Nikki to leave her behind and find the others. They were all gods after all. They were who needed to be safe.

 

Roxy blinked back tears as the effects of the endorphins in her blood began to recede. The pain was washing over her in waves now and making it hard to walk. They were barely back at the docks and Roxy was ready to take a long nap. Her vision was beginning to tint grey around the edges and her steps were beginning to jumble. She shook her head and opened her eyes to their fullest, " this", she said, lowering her density and mass, "Your carrying me". She shrank herself small enough to sit comfortably on Nikki's shoulder. She clutched the bloody bandage like Nikki was to keep up the pressure. Roxy leaned her head against Nikki's ear and sighed, "Don't let the others see me", she asked, "Oh...and hurry". Her voice was beginning to sound sleepy as the blood loss was beginning to take it's toll on her. All she wanted to do was sleep.

 

(((Edit: HA! Roxy was right about Ansgar)))

[Thaelasan]

Ansgar stared at her intently, frowning.

"Normally, I'd be ok with a friendly chat as well, and if you were willing to compensate for the actions of your accomplices... or if you were willing to simply apologize and walk away, I might even consider not going further with this." he said, his blade arcing with electricity at his side. "Your friend there. He doesn't seem quite the same as you. Also, you don't really like to be open about this, do you? Then we share a common desire."

He sat back down in his chair, leaning forward on his hands.

"So, we have two choices, ma'am." he said, sighing. "We fight for whatever purpose you think you're fulfilling while I do it simply out of vengeance or you can explain what the is wrong with you people to make you do something like that. It seemed more like a crime of personal nature rather than one of enjoyment. Playing with your opponent means you haven't had the ability to do it in a while."

He thought even further, leaning onto one of his hands.

"So, that means that at some point in the past, you were employed by some power to perform this. That means that you probably work for mortals, but you wish to keep your identity hidden. Some mortals created you? Or were you born this way? Well that's a lot to assume, I suppose, just from meeting you."

He put his fingers together. His normal, jovial nature was cold and calculating.

"That means that you've been wanting to kill more godlings for centuries and you consider it your job to seek us out and kill us before we become a sort of problem? Either that, or you just want to kill us for the sake of it. Either way, I already know you have a sort of employer, probably of a cosmic level, with his own vendetta. You just do it for him. Otherwise, you wouldn't work with a god."

He motioned to the man near the girl.

"You think I can't sense those sort of energy levels after the years I've spent on that planet? You can't keep hidden from a man who is in tune with your own bodies' power levels. It's a curse and a blessing - means I'm never surprised. I'd love to see you try, however."

He then leaned forward, blade hanging loosely in one hand.

"So, how about you two leave this bar and let us go about our business? I'd rather not kill a woman such as yourself, nor a fellow godling, if I can help it. But, if I must, for the sake of the woman I love, and for the friend next to me, I will end you. I will take this blade and impale you upon it as a symbol to those who follow your path. I will show you true pain, the pain you've tried to show us. Even if I didn't have my god powers, I'd still use every facet of my abilities at my disposal to END YOUR LIFE."

He stood back up suddenly, electricity building again.

"There. There's your pleasant conversation." he seethed.

[Clown_of_God]

When Ansgar abruptly stood from his seat at the end of his speech, Mina followed in suit and stomped on the unconscious man who she had shoved to the floor before. With a crooked smile, she raised her arms into a half-shrug and then let them slump back to her sides.

"To put it as simply and bluntly as I can, I was made this way. I was made to kill your kind. We do it because humanity doesn't need your kind. You think you have the right to reign over us, to govern our lives while you sit idly on the Throne of the Gods. No, we have been able to function rather well without your kind so far and we're not going to start now."

Smiling, Mina interlaced her fingers behind her back and walked closer to where Ansgar had positioned himself. Meanwhile, the boy had made his way to the table Mina had been sitting at previously.

"Also, your rant was a little boring, but you're free to impale me whenever you want. I like the feeling, it gets my body nice and hot."

[Astrodeath311]

Tyler turned to Ansgar, a yawn on his lips that kept him from speaking out against his actions. Instead, a annoyed stare played on his eyes, which he quickly turned to Mina.

"Is murder really your definition of 'fun'? I felt as his life drained away. Losing too much blood does that to a person, you know." Tyler's hand slithered like a snake across the counter. He picked up his drink, down it in a single motion, and flung it as hard as he could as Mina's smug little face.

After that, he brought his hands together and flung them to the left. If he was right, then the Boy would be flung outside of the building with the force of a megaton bomb. Not fun to feel, to be honest. As soon as the Boy cleared the building, a wall slammed down that blocked entry or exit. It extended around the building, under it and above it, completely sealing them in. While this happened, however, copper plating covered every piece of furniture in the room. The tables, the chairs, the fan... everything. After that, he stepped back and admired his work. Everything was covered in the same rusty look.

"Have at it, mate." He pulled his pistol from its holster and held it loosely in his hands. There would come a time where he'd need to fire it, but it looked like this was their battle.

 

He was Tyler the Creator, dammit.

 

It was an odd sensation, having your body cut in half. I say this simply, because Tyler had Ghosted through the counter. In his place, a look-a-like stood as he had, looked as he had. In essence, it was a clone. Wouldn't act, wouldn't do much of anything, actually, until you killed it. Then, it would explode. Very big explosion. Hits like a truck. Also a high chance of collateral damage. Since you'd get flung back, you know. Oh, and you're also a very big target.

 

Did I mention Tyler was an ace shot? Yeah... really good at shooting things.

Edited May 25, 2014 by Astrodeath311

[Thaelasan]

Ansgar was fired backward as the force hit. Even though his body was pure energy, some things still had impact. He landed on the wall, then steadied himself, grinning.

He slammed his hand on the ground, sending current after current through the floor. The entire building became electrified. Lightning arced from every corner, zapping everything that was REMOTELY metallic or conductive.

"You know, I'd try and say that we aren't like the past gods, but you don't have reason to believe us." he said sternly.

[Clown_of_God]

Mina merely caught the glass in her hand, tossed it a couple of times and then crushed it. As she licked the blood from her hand, she casually walked up to Ansgar and wrapped herself around him, pressing her body tightly against his and breathing seductively at the base of his neck.

"Will you show me some more? Show me pain, show me misery, show me suffering. Get my blood boiling to the point where I just can't stand anymore."

Licking the base of his neck, she stared into his eyes, the sadistic pleasure clearly showing in her gaze. Then, she let go and jumped back, performing a backhand spring and landing on one of the tables with her legs crossed and arms spread.

"We should play a game and the winner can make one request that the other has to follow. For instance, if I win a round and ask you to gouge out your friend's eyes you have to comply. Otherwise, I'll just have my partner... umm... disassemble your precious girlfriend. Of course, it wouldn't be in one go and it wouldn't be painless either. Do you know what it's like to have antimatter tear away at your body? It's quite painful from my understanding. Of course, if you win and asked me to stab myself in the gut, I'd be more than happy to oblige. What do you say? I mean, I'm already giving you a handicap, having two players instead of a one-on-one fight."

Nikki shook her head when Roxy said to leave her, continuing to run back towards the port where they had landed. She was heading back to the ship. With the Sprytes aboard, they could assist in stabilizing Roxy and getting her back in action or at least on her feet again.

"I'm not gonna leave you just so those two monsters can team up against you or myself. We need to stay together. Before we get back to port, I want you to return to your original size. If you returned to normal on the ship, they would know which one is ours and then we'd have even more of a difficult time getting away from here."

Despite what had just occurred, Nikki's voice was calm and comforting. Roxy must have been in a lot of pain and Nikki wanted to do what she could to ease it in the slightest. Also, she needed to make sure her friend stayed awake.

"I promise you can go to sleep once we get back to the ship. Just stay awake and keep talking to me, okay? Don't go to sleep until we get you in the ship."

[Thaelasan]

Ansgar was now more than uncomfortable than ever before. He winced slightly as she broke the glass. Then she stepped up to him a little closer than most would have liked.

Yet, that didn't phase him. For some reason, though, he didn't want to smile.

"Well, I do love games." he said. "But that depends on the game before I make a deal."

[padfoot]

Roxy shook her head to clear the fog of exhaustion that was settling over her mind as Nikki tore through the streets back to the ship. She wrapped her hands in the rope thick strands of hair so she would not be flung from her perch on her friend's shoulder. She mumbled something when Nikki asked her to resize so they could go on the ship without being tracked. She carefully floated off of her shoulder and snapped back to her regular size. She slumped heavily against Nikki, staining her skin with Roxy's strange color blood. She was growing more and more delirious as they made it to the docks and walked to where they tied down their spacecraft. She was muttering things about tall, mean women and large crowds of chanting people.

 

As they entered the spacecraft, Roxy pretty much gave up. She dropped her arm that she had refused to leave behind on the floor with a meaty thunk. She stumbled, tripping over her unresponsive leg and tumbling into one of the chairs. Her head lulled to one side an she looked at Nikki with her own unfocused eyes, "Nick...Nick-Nikki", she tripped over her words with her injured tongue, "HAve I yever dold U dat I love yo?" She asked, breaking down into weak laughter. Her hair was devoid of color since she couldn't process emotion very well.

[Clown_of_God]

Looking at the Sprytes, Nikki confirmed that they would be able to take care of her and then took a knee next to Roxy. Smiling, she kissed her friend's forehead and stroked a hand through the girl's mohawk.

"I know, I love you too. I'll be back shortly, so don't do anything rash while I'm away, okay?"

Nikki leaned in and embraced her friend before turning and running off the ship. If anything, Nikki could launch the ship and get Roxy away from here if things escalated more than they already had. For the time being, she needed to find the others and attempt to evacuate them as well.

 

------

 

"Oh, I know I should have thought this through a bit better. A game? A game? A game! We'll play a game called Nervous. It's really easy. You see, all you gotta do is try and make the other person feel nervous. Doesn't matter how and there's no restrictions. Touch them, grope them, rape them. If they don't call nervous and you pansy out, then it's your loss, but if neither of you call nervous and you've done everything you can possibly think of then it's a tie, no winner or loser. We'll do one round, you two boys can start."

Smiling, Mina pulled up a seat, twisted around to where the headrest was in front, and sat down. In such conditions, one would probably be confused as to the reasoning behind such a game. Of course, Mina had her reasons and when it was her turn, she'd show them how to play.

"Also, don't try to lie. A woman's intuition is very keen on those sorts of things. I want to see how well the two of you trust each other. Heehee. That, or we can just go back to fighting each other and you'll never know if your girlfriend was killed or not."

[Astrodeath311]

“Ansgar, keep aware. I don't know if you know, but she 'is' trying to kill us. This woman is not to be trifled with, even if it seems like she just wants to play games.” He sighed. The boy could be a little thick sometimes. It didn't really matter, though. Hopefully, the boy wouldn't let his needs get in the way of his judgement, as well as his feelings for Nikki. Tyler looked at Mina with a funny expression on his face.

“Rape them? Are you serious?”

 

Tyler turned to his Ghost. In his mind, the creation had turned and walked to Ansgar. It touched him, and then died. Its light had been snuffed out like a candle that didn't need to burn any longer. It gave up its light willingly, although it wasn't like Tyler's machinations had actual lives; free will, a soul, etc., to begin with. They were simple photons, twisted to their master's will and given form. He was like a doll master, really. And these were his dolls.

 

What the Seer had told them coursed through his mind. She had said that the God Slayers had a way of cancelling out their abilities. An immunity to them, rather. There wasn't specific information on each of them, of course, but such a thing would be entirely welcome. Anyways, if he ever got his hands on such a codex, the very first thing he would look up was the crazy girl who plays a game called 'Nervous'.

 

But first, they had to live.

"That's under the assumption you're unwilling. Of course, it isn't rape if they are willing. Still, I guess this method is a bit boring after all. So, how 'bout we just return to fighting each other?"

Sighing, Mina rocked back and forth on her seat and stood, tossing it to the side. Her eyes looked between the two for a moment before she turned around.

"I do have a question, however, where can I find this time lord that trained your bunch? We've got a bit of a score to settle with that one."
