(OOC: Upon further deliberation, this thread will be discontinued for a time since no one seems interested, and I want to help finish the "Quest for the Blade" story arc. This will be restarted when said arc is finished.)

(The quest for the blade story arc is finished. So lets begin this one now.)

[Ransom]

When the zombies had converged on the ship, Perseus had decided to fly overhead and watch the scene hoping the dark scumbag would somehow be beaten
He glided over watching the interesting scene unfold.

I should probably join in some point… he thought.

He looked down as the crew milled about the deck, everyone confused, or surprised, trying to figure out what was happening.
He saw Kitsune as blocked Z’s pathway, forcing him back onto the deck.
Perseus had already come to respect some of the crew, especially Kitsune, Motoko and Gabriel. Though Kitsune seemed a little hot tempered, he could tell that this half demon was not letting the demon part of him take control. He seemed to generally want to help those around him, and he was using his stunning fighting skills to protect those he loved, even though he had the potential to become a powerful tyrant... such as Z.
Though he had not interacted much with Ken, upon first glance, he seemed good hearted.
Even Ayden and Germanlink definitely earned respect, wise men, and elite fighters, both.
And this Lena… now she was something, he was missing her comforting aura already. Where had she been anyway?
Perseus scanned the deck.
The ship seemed to be moving, he didn’t know where, but it had started sailing by itself as if controlled by another source.

Perseus swooped down toward the ship, deciding to get involved.
He landed next to Kitsune.

As soon as he stopped working his muscles, Perseus’ wing began to throb horribly, right where Z had slashed it, he gritted his teeth and ignored it.

I’ve never been wounded directly on a wing before…I don’t know what I’ll do if it doesn’t heal like a normal wound. Damnit, this hurts

He turned to kitsune, “Who’s sailing the ship???”

[Mystic Kitsune]

Without turning, Kitsune responded to Perseus's question:

"Ken. Hes a pretty good person, and captain." He said turning his head in the direction of where Ken was.

"You may want to take a rest and let that wing of yours heal. There wont be much going on right now, but tommarow, and days after that, we'll need you to fly up and judge the distance to wherever it is where we're going."

..."Keh. Youre lucky you can fly. I would have flown away if I had the chance, back to the mainland."

I hate water.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

[Say, what happened to LightGoddess, anyway? Haven't talked to her in days]


Motoko was standing at the bow of the ship, staring out at the ocean. She couldn't help but think of the dream she had earlier and whether it was prophetic or not.
I hope it doesn't happen..... she thought as tears started to well up in her eyes

[SL the Pyro]

It was no use. Laying down was more painful than relaxing for Z because of both the wooden planks and the new "skylight" in Xi's room. Trying to ignore his pain, he lumbered about the ship, hoping to find a dark place to recover. Then her remembered; the cargo hold where he first planned to hide before the zombie attack would do nicely. He slowly made his way there, making sure that no one would see him and start a fight. He tried to ignore his pain one last time.

"I've never had wounds like this before..." Z thought. "The half-breed, Kami-Dao and the rest of their friends are more powerful than I'd anticipated. As much as I'd like to crush their skulls in my hand, this is not the place to do it. Besides, I don't have my strength back."

After a little while, Z made it to the cargo hold and sat inthe darkest corner, leaning against wall. He already felt some of the pain go away. He decided to sleep there until nightfall, when he could go outside and fully recover his lost strength with the darkness. He just prayed that Kitsune's other friends didn't sense his dark energy down here.

"Action and adventure seems to follow these people around; its the only way they could've gotten so strong." Z mused. "Hmm... who knows? I may just stay with these people for a little while..."

(This is the last post I can make before the weekend. If night should come in the RP before I return, could someone please write that Z goes up to the deck to recover?)

[Rightey-o, DL!!!*feels dirty*]

[Ransom]

Perseus helped patch up the hole, and then glided up to the mast to think.
He sat awhile, looking at the horizon, as the surf continued to go up and down.
His wing was still hurting but something felt like it was building up inside it.

Some sort of energy?

Suddenly, a giant light shone from the gash, and a high pitched noise signaled the sealing of the wound on his wing.
He cried out in intense pain, a few people on deck looking up at him, as he fell from the mast writhing.
And suddenly in mid air, it was over, the light stopped sealing the gash, and it closed up, almost perfectly healed.
Perseus thumped onto the deck. Barely hurt.
He examined the wing, astonished.
There was no trace of the wound.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Will he........and I......die....?


The sound of screaming brought Motoko back to reality.

She quickly turned to look and saw that Perseus had fallen from the mast. She also saw that he stood up and was unhurt.
"Mister Angel, sir? Are you okay?" she asked as she ran to him

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune heard the sound of screaming. Instead of turning, he looked down at his blade.

"Hmph. It was you, wasnt it?" Kitsune said uselessly talking to his blade that was glowing with intense light just second ago.

He turned to look at Perseus, to see his wing had healed.

"Keh. Theres still so much more to learn about this blade." Kitsune said remaining in one place.

[~Light Goddess~]

(I'm sorry guys, I didn't know that you would miss me!! I had some crazy homework this week and now I have some time to come back in on the RP! yay!)

Lena had made her way back out onto the deck, after resting back inside the ship. Suprisingly, she needed to get all of the rest from the unattended business that she had back in Forsaken Fortress. There were many exterminations and purifying on such an island, and she had many a pretty penny doing that. She did feel guilty without letting the others know about it...

She then saw that Kitsune was over his regular talk, but she swore she heard something thumping onto the deck. When she looked around, she saw that it was Perseus who landed, she wondered if he was ok. But it sounded like he did.

[Ransom]

Perseus looked around, everyone was staring at him.

"Mister Angel, sir? Are you okay?"

Motoko was running towards him.

“uh…” he stumbled his words, feeling slightly dizzy, “yeah I’m fine. Thanks. I just fell asleep on the mast. Yeah I think I’m gonna go for a fly… seeya…”

Perseus launched straight off the ground into the air (something he found very difficult to do since he usually needed a run-up), soaring high above the ship, and into the clouds.

ahhhh…. I feel better already, my minds clearing up.

He flew straight towards the direction that the ship was heading, hoping he might see any sign of land, or perhaps another ship. But there was nothing, just intense dark ocean, as far as he could see.

ill have to fly higher… , he though to himself.

Suddenly he heard a deep low moan emanating from the sea below him.
He looked down only to see a huge shadow swimming just below the surface.
He quickly flipped around and flew back towards the Ship.
This could be deadly.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune was eyeing Perseus. Going off, then higher, then lower, then coming back.

"Make up your mind..." Kitsune said.

He heard the moan, and something big emerged from the water, with a dramatic effect. Wheres that music when you need it?

"Keh." He eyed it, and decided not to bother with it until something happens to the ship. It could, after all, just be enjoying its watery home.

Besides. I hate water/ Kitsune thought while tightning his grip around the blade handle.

[~Light Goddess~]

Lena also picked up a large, moaning sound in her ears. Whatever it was, she wished that it wouldn't bring harm to the ship.

Perseus is acting a little odd too, she thought. He flew up, higher to almost the clouds, but now he was coming back down. Did he know what that that sound was enimating from. (hope I spelt that word right )

[SL the Pyro]

Z's eyes shot open.

"What was that sound? he thought. Whatever it was, it didn't sound friendly.

He heard another moan, much more angry and roar-like this time.

Whatever that thing was, it didn't seem happy for some reason. Z's wounds had healed in his dark corner, but his strength still had yet to return. He lumbered his way to the deck, seeing that everyone was looking for something around the ship.

"Would someone care to explain what is happening? What is that noise?" Z asked. That was when he noticed the large creature at the side of the ship. "What in blazes is that?"

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune was only a bit afraid. Not for himself, but for the ship. It would prove troublesome if some random sea beast was to stop him from reaching the main land once again.

It seemed just to be guarding something. Perhaps these waters were it's territory. It doesnt matter anyawy, if it attacked, he would have to kill it.

[SL the Pyro]

Z noticed everyone now staring at the gigantic sea beast, especially Kitsune. The half-demon had yet to draw his sword; he seemed to be waiting for the beast to attack. He studied the creature; it was large and blue, and appeared to be a long, snake-like entity with a red tail and a dragon-like head. It had the appearance of a sea serpent.

"What are you waiting for, Kitsune?" Z asked him. "You realize, don't you, that it something that massive attacked a ship this small, it would sink us almost immediately? You may as well destroy the titan now." he suggested.

Edited by Dark Link, 18 September 2006 - 09:49 AM.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Why are you asking me?" Kitsune said just eyeing Z. "I thought you were the strongest one here?"

He turned back to the monster.

"Keh. Ill just wait until it makes a move. I never said Id let it complete it's move though..."

[Ransom]

ooc: hey kitsune i think Z is in disguise... heh heh

[SL the Pyro]

ooc: No I'm not, I'm in my true form.

"Probably so, but as amusing as it is, I prefer not to fight unless I have to." Z explained. He saw the creature blocking ship's path, ready to attack if it got closer. "I hope you know what you're doing, half-demon..." he said, emphasizing the last part just to infuriate Kitsune. They both knew they couldn't attack each other without destroying the ship; they'd probably drive each other nuts during the whole trip.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Without a second thought, Motoko walked closer to the serpent and took out her flute. SHe then started playing her melody and hoping the song would calm the beast down. Both her and the beast stared into each others eyes as the music was being played and it wasn't long before the giant sea serpent went back into the water and away from the ship.

[Mystic Kitsune]

EDIT: Cross posted. This post is now irrelevant.

[SL the Pyro]

Z and Kitsune just looked at Motoko with awe.

Z shrugged. "Whatever." he said before lumbering back towards the door to the below decks.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

She then turned around and looked at Kitsune.
"What comes from the heart speaks to the heart." was all she said before she gave him a hug

[SL the Pyro]

Z turned around and stopped upon hearing Motoko walk over to Kitsune. He could only smile; were they that deluded?

"You realize that a relationship between you two will never work, right?" Z said, mocking them both and purposely trying to stretch Kitsune's patience to its limits.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Smiling, she only moved her head. "(Just ignore him, Kit-kun. We can make it work.)"

[SL the Pyro]

"Judging from that smile, you don't understand." Z said. "What if you were to turn back into a sword, Motoko? Now THAT wouldn't work. Think about it." he finished before turning around and moving back to the door.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Keh. So you cant beat me physically, and youre saying these things." Kitsune just ignored his comment and hugged Motoko.

He then went into the cabin, he hated the sea, and didnt want to see water.

"Just tell me when we get there or something." He said...

[SL the Pyro]

Z just laughed at Kitsune while opening the door, then said, "You fail to grasp my full power... granted, I may be weakened now, but I'm not helpless."

He closed the door and headed back to his dark corner in the cargo hold.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

What if you were to turn back into a sword, Motoko?

[That's what plotholes are for, dummy ]
