New Years, ladies and germs. Cheers!
Andromeda dived, gathering wind. When there was enough resistance, she folded her wings. "Hang tight." She growled, as the wind increased, quickly reaching 120 MPH, heading down the street of the fight. When she nearly hit the pavement, Andromeda flashed her wings and fired another lightning blast, firing at Golem, causing splash damage. She rushed over Cole's van in a rush that nearly shook it. She then ascended once more. "That should keep your enemies busy. Now, since I need to know what the hell is up, I'm going to crash at your place. Literally." She snickered at her own pun. "I'm pulling you leg. Lead on, Pureblood." She went up higher to gain a bit of cloud cover.
Andromeda instantly felt the power of the spirits as she felt pushed against the floor. Again. By now, she was very angry to be pushed to this point. But as far as dragons go, they can be deadly as well as cunning. And Andromeda, scared by an imp, a pawn fought over between two sides, and forced into dragon form, had now thought of a plan. Spirits had no bodies, so in rationality, they were just air. So..... Though it hurt her to do it, she strained to move her wing, and when it was clear, she let out a cry of pain, and closed her eyes, slumping. But she was only feinting. The ghost holding her down let off, thinking that he might kill her. Fisher did need her alive. Quickly, Andromeda moved her wing quickly, blasting air at the spirit, causing him to dissipate. Andromeda then stood, spread her other wing, and took a huge leap at Cole and the female spirit. She grabbed Cole with her back claw and passed right through the spirit in a blast of air. As she ascended, She said to Cole, "Climb on my back, tell me who is friend or foe! We're getting out of here!"
Etrius soon arrived in the Kitchen behind Luna, hood lowered, letting his black-and-red messy hair out and adjusting his wide-rimmed glasses accordingly. He muttered a "Hi" to Cat and gave Kross a slight nod. Etrius grabbed a golden delicious apple, crunched it in his mouth, and pulled out his Tarot deck. "Anyone know our current situation with Krowley and how we deal with the Heartless?" He asked to everyone.
Etrius was sorely disappointed that Luna didn't say anything. But then again, it would've bee unwise to push her. Since his concentration had been completely broken and he was wide awake, he too felt his stomach growl angrily. All the fighting must have put a lot of strain on his body, and he was feeling a bit weak. He stood up slowly, and walked to the Guild Hall.
Etrius nodded in understanding. "I see. I'm sorry Luna, for whatever damage I did." Etrius said. He turned his head and looked at her. "Even thought it's still none of my business, but I really want to know what was that disturbance. Luna, just what was that power that I felt?" He turned his head back and closed his eyes. "You don't need to tell me if it's really that bad.." He added hastily. @KHGrl15
Etrius almost never heard Luna if she hasn't found him. He reopened his eyes in short annoyance. "Look Luna," Etrius said quietly, "If you meant to leave, why are you bothering me? I nearly killed you out of lack of control. And I'm trying to find out why." "Wait." Etrius thought, "I shouldn't send her away. I should find the reason why she's here." "Sorry Luna," Etrius said, rebuking, "I'm just confused and afraid. Last time you tried to leave, you were still wounded and I feared that you were going back to your homeworld on your own. And now, some unknown force had just nearly forced me to kill you. Can you tell me why you tried to leave?" @KHGrl15
Andromeda felt her thrown down, and knew she was getting captured. "Scaly B!tch??!" She shrieked, her voice deepening. Her snout began to lengthen, she flipped over, causing Martian to fall back on the floor and Andromeda on top. Her cloak tore off as her wings formed and her body lengthened. As soon as she completely formed, she grabbed Martian, and threw him to street level, letting out a hard shriek. She then turned to Cole, giving a challenging glare. "He's lucky." Andromeda said, her voice deep and hard, referring to Martian. "If he tries to come here, I will kill him. So, werewolf? What's it going to be? You gonna help you friend? Or you gonna take me on?"

Etrius headed to the Summit area, ignoring anyone he would pass. Luna could've helped him with his problem. He reached the summit. At the very edge was what looked like a broken cobblestone bridge. He walked toward the edge, and sat on the bridge, looking outward to the sky. He made a quick recap of what he been through so far. First, he arrived at LoD, put his foot in his mouth when meeting Luna and Steel, trained with, sparred, and defeated Luna, got transported to the Castle of Dreams, took a little dark nap, arrived at the Kingdom of the Sun, saved a despicable/egotistical llama emperor's position as ruler from a megalomaniacal old hag/witch, came back to LoD only to find out that his own dark powers were now beginning to reject his own body, Sparred and defeated Kross, healed Kross from poisoning, gave Karina a piece of his mind, and finally fought to stop Luna, nearly killing her in the process. In short, Everything had been one whirlwind after another. Etrius sighed, and closed his eyes, and began to do something he rarely did after he was forced to leave his home: meditation. In this sense, his type of meditation wasn't your average forceful look-at-the-pendulum-swing-esque hypnotism. The type of hypnotism that Etrius learned was the kind where you look into your own self and detach yourself from consciousness. In a way, Etrius would be half-asleep, and half-awake. The reason why he did this was simple. Something had nearly forced Etrius to kill Luna, even though he hesitated to do so. The only way to do this is to dive to his own heart and figure out what was up. There were normally other ways to do this, such as using the Keyblade to enter a person's heart or use the Keyblade on yourself and unlock your own heart from your body. But Etrius wasn't planning on doing anything rash. He concentrated silently. "Why in the world would I gain the instinct to kill a fellow teammate? How did I lose control?" Etrius thought as he slowed his breath and calmed down. "More importantly, who or what was causing me to do such actions?"
Andromeda stopped at the sound of the lone figure's voice. She sniffed the air and groaned madly. She turned slowly, glowering at the werewolf in front of her. Why should I?" She growled back, "You werewolves are all the same; Hairy, destructive, unrighteous shapeshifters who can never get fleas out of their own hair during a full moon!" She sucked in more air, and fired another lightning bolt, turned, and took off, leaping the next building.
As Etrius crashed into Luna, her comment only made him feel worse. He stood over her, breathing angrily under his mask, making him sound inhuman. He suddenly got a strange impulse. "Kill her." Etrius hesitated, and instantly strained. "Do it! You know you want to!" The thought urged. "I can't..." Etrius thought back. "Then I'll do it myself." Came the answer. Etrius felt his Keyblade arm raise by itself. He instantly strained to keep it from moving, but it was futile. It stood raised, ready to strike Luna down. Then, the arm poised to strike down. "GRRRRAAAAAAGGGH!" Etrius cried. A hard clank was heard. Etrius retracted his arm from his Keyblade, and took a strained step back. His Keyblade was about an inch away from Luna's face. Etrius lowered his head. His armor cracked, and it shattered off of him, revealing him with his hood raised and his eyes hidden. His skin wasn't tinted, nor was there any darkness erupting from his shoulders. He turned and looked at the sky. "They say that the eyes are the windows to a person's soul." Etrius said. His voice was calm, sad even. "Tell me Luna; what do you see when you look in my eyes?" Etrius had turned back to the fallen Luna, his eyes open and red. The eyes glared at her from under the hood. "You answer that question to yourself. You're right, you're not worth fighting for." Etrius tone had turned poisonous. "Go ahead and leave. If Krowley or Yen Sid finds out anything about this, and asks to find you, I won't oblige. So fine, just leave, if that's what you wanna do." He closed his eyes a second time, then he opened them again, his eyes burning with anger and distress, snarling, "JUST LEAVE!!!!" Etrius turned abruptly, and let out a cough that sounded between a laugh and a hard sob. He then walk calmly and slowly away from Luna. As Etrius walked away, Etrius purposely shoved his shoulder against Ananta's obviously coming to break the fight. "I'm not a dog to restrain, so leave me alone!" He growled at her, as he walked to the summit. He never picked up his Keyblade, and it disappeared in a dark cloud of smoke.
As the imp disappeared, Andromeda's ears perked up at the imp's last statement. More company? Great. And just when she was getting settled in too. She put away the broom just in time to hear the screech of tires. She walked quietly to one of the boarded up windows and peered out. There where two vehicles that she saw stopped nearby. She sniffed. The scent of leaves, testosterone, and hair partially filled the air. She growled in frustration. Werewolves. Just what she needed. She immediately grabbed her shroud of a ripped coat from the coat hanger and opened the door cautiously. No one out there. She heard some talking from outside, thanks to the walls being incredibly thin. The talk soon erupted into a fight. If Andromeda had to guess, both vans had to be two opposing sides. If anything, she had yet to know who they're on, and what they want. She quickly walked up the stairs, scaling it to the top. She broke the door down to the roof exit to get a better look at the fighting. She wrapped her shroud tightly to hide her appearance as she looked on at the fight. There were 7 people out there. She couldn't pick out who's side is who, but she knew that she need to act. She breathed in a lungful of air, as she felt the air around her lips began to prickle and discharge. She then picked out the van from where he rock-headed figure came from. She then opened her mouth and blew hard. A shocking charge of electricity blasted outward, firing at Fisher's van, and throwing her back into the air. Normally, she wouldn't fire bolts if she was in human form due to knockback, but in this case, she was desperate not to get captured. The bolt hit the car in an explosive crackle. The car started up own it's own, then fizzled and the engine exploded from the overload. The smell of hot metal and rubber reached Andromeda's nose, giving her the OK to move. She took a running start and leaped over a moderate-sized gap and took off.
Etrius roared back, "Are you crazy enough to betray your own teammates??! Sorry, but I'm not buying it. You're staying here, conscious or not. If you had wanted help, which you deny that you do, I wouldn't need to this!" Etrius spun his Keyblade to fronthand, and launched himself, quickly, charging Luna again. Etrius used Sliding Dash! Damage: 0/56% Speed: 45/45% MAX! Lethality: 34/56%
Etrius' patience finally ran out. Luna had completely disregarded him and his teammates. He was actually bluffing about the hurting her part, but this was too far. He looked at his Keyblade Armor Activator and punched a fist at it, activating manually for the first time. As a bright enveloped Etrius, he felt his anger of betrayal grow. It became too much. After his Armor finished forming completely around his body, It took a dark tint. He then took off again towards Luna, just as she cast the Blizzard spell. This time he was ready for the spell. He threw his Keyblade across the ice, jumped on it, and began skating on it. As the ice trap ended, Etrius breakrolled, caught his Keyblade in hand, and charged at Luna, growling under his helmet. Etrius used Rolling Dodge! Damage: 0/56% Speed: 45/45% MAX! Lethality: 34/56%
Etrius' eyes narrowed. He took off suddenly and stood again in front of Luna. He took a battle stance. "The reason I trust you Luna," Etrius said, "Is because I consider you my friend. And even if you desert us, I will bring you back and make you explain, even if my own power begins to consume me. I would do the same for Steel and Kel. I bet you would also do the same for your own family." His eyes turned yellow for a minute. "If you just asked Yen Sid or even Krowley for your help, whatever it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation." He closed his eyes in disappointment at the thought. "Well, can't be helped now." He reopened his eyes, red again. "You forced my hand."
Been fine thanks. How's Cupids Brew?
Etrius sighed as Luna stormed passed him. "I never thought you were weak Luna. From the moment I met you, I told you to never put yourself down." Etrius called to her. "It just seems that you have a hard time relying on others." Etrius closed his eyes, and held out his hand. "Which is why you have forced my notion to ask as to why there was a disturbance from your room." He opened his eyes again, blood red, and he summoned the Bond of Flame in a blaze of fire. He wouldn't go into a battle stance unless she made the first move. "I don't want to hurt the people I trust Luna, but I'm having a hard time trusting you. After all.." His skin tinted a dark shade and dark smoke poured off his shoulders. "Even if I had secrets, better to tell others then desert them!"
How have you been milady? Haven't talked to you since you reopened the Enhancermorphs thread.
Ok, Ok, I know I've asked a few people as to what there personal Keyblades might be, but I've never gone around to bother with making it official, and since I'm not a Mod, nor do I truly have an interest, I would be otherwise be more than willing to forge Keyblades at both my own expense as well as SOS. So, the other day, I came around to creating a Google Survey specifically for this purpose. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Xp9jaC_Y-XlnQoCpS36ZJRhjWRKGMWeEWorjhCqME9w/viewform Anyway, I can try to create any kind of Keyblade so as long as I know who and what it's made from.
