"Nope, I'm from another world but I got stuck here."

 

That's unfortunate. How'd something like that happen?

 

As LightFlare spoke with Flandre, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

 

(Something's not right. Ever since I spoke with those guards in the street before....I've had this strange feeling that something is off.)

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"You guys all right? Looks like the drill was more tiring than we thought."

 

You ever get that feeling that something bad is about to happen?

 

You too, Walt? What are you guys talking about?

Got some new hotness for ya. I'm not sure where this comes from but thanks to Daruga for the source image. Comes with animations, zoom, parallax, scale delta, superjump and a looped bgm. Feedback is always welcome. Enjoy!

Ah, so they knew each other, too. Man, how come she was always left out of the loop in this stuff?

Penelope: Oooh, so you know each other, too? And what's "Ground Zero"?

 

She'd probably get a chance to have a nice talk with her new friend, but for now, it was question time! She was always really good at asking questions!

 

Not exactly...

 

24 minutes ago, Dumanios said:

 

"Yeah, I was there. It was..." Flandre trailed off.

 

 

"It was not fun," Flandre summarized.

 

It was a fierce battle. So many unnamed heroes that all played a part. I'm glad to see someone from that day alive and well. Were you originally from Kalos?

 

26 minutes ago, Dumanios said:

 

"I have a feeling I'll be sleeping well too," Raina replied.

 

That said, there was a bit of a nagging feeling at the back of her head... there was something about to happen, right? But what?

 

You ok, Raina?

 

(Hmmm...something feels off. In fact it's felt of since we arrived here)

 

I know that look. You feel it too, huh?

 

It's probably just our nerves. That training drill was pretty intense. We'll need to unwind soon.

 

(You can't fool me, little brother. I know you sense it to)

 

...hmm

6 hours ago, Dumanios said:

 

"Thanks guys, the drill was a lot of fun," Raina replied.

 

It was quite an exciting challenge. This place is everything I've heard about it and then some. I should sleep good tonight. That was some workout.

 

6 hours ago, Dumanios said:

 

"It's good to meet you too! You're that famous Lightflare from TV, aren't you?"

 

Indeed....

 

LightFlare pauses...an image of Flandre flashed in his head...

 

That day...years ago. You were there, weren't you? At Ground Zero?

1 hour ago, A person said:

Penelope: I decided to bring her here so that she could meet her! But, if you're headed to go grab some food, bring me everything you can!

 

If everyone was eating already, then Raina wouid probably be in the infirmary. But could she go in there?

 

Sure thing sweetie. I'm glad to see you're making friends.

 

1 hour ago, Dumanios said:

 

"Who's you're friend?"

 

The names LightFlare. Nice to meet you.

 

1 hour ago, Dumanios said:

Having paid for her food, Raina proceeds to sit near Melina and the others.

 

Hey girlfriend! You were awesome during the drill!

 

Agreed. Hope you're feeling ok.

 

Now it's time to pig out! Haha!

 

I've always said you were a pig...

 

I'm gonna reach over this table...and give you a love tap...on the cheek...with my fist!

 

Ha! Hold on! Let me finish this last bite. Hahaha!

 

 

Tigre! Tigre! Tigre...! 

 

Loved that guy. Welcome back.

Keep rocking bro

Welcome to the hood. Did a couple stages from that game a few years ago.

Fortunately, Penelope would walk in the door right as Lightflare began his search for the girl. She had not known that he was even looking for her, and, had she decided to stay out a bit longer, probably would have caused a huge scene. Regardless, she led Flandre into the Warrior's Hangout happily, and turned towards the girl once they were inside.


Penelope: Here we are, the...umm..."Warrior's Hangout", I think is what it's called, yeah! Thank you for using Penelope's Taxi service! So, what's your name?

Even after all of that, she still wasn't aware of Lightflare.

 

LightFlare smiles as he sees a familiar vibrant young lady in purple.

 

Penny! I see you're still awake! Were finished with the drill. I'm heading up to the infirmary to meet the others. Then we'll grab a bite to eat. I can grab you something if you like? 

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

"Let's just say it was a heat of the moment thing. The membership covers a lot of things around here but some things will cost you extra. Just pay more attention next time, all right?"

 

Undertood. Thank you.

 

Thanks Lucent. 

 

No problem at all. Now you guys dig in. I'm sure you've worked up an appetite.

 

Especially me! I'm like the M.V. P. for sure!

 

Indeed! "Most Valuable Pinhead!" Hahahaha!

 

Idiot...

 

They contunue to eat and socialize.

6 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"...did you all pay for that or were you all so hungry that you forgot to notice that the menu has prices on them?"

Forgive us for the misunderstanding. Allow me to take care of it.

 

Lucent takes a look at the menu prices. He calculates the total pays for the food with a 10% tip.

 

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"If your other side is sealed inside of you as you said, perhaps that could be a way to have some actual communication with it. Because the alternative is to simply release him and try to talk with it from the outside and from what you two have been telling me, that is the absolute worst idea without a way to properly contain it out here."

 

Meditation was how I faced him before. It will most likely be how we meet again. I guess when the time is right...

 

In the meantime, I'll catch up with the others. I'll stop in the lobby to check on Penny. I hope she ok. We've been gone for ages. She must be bored out of her mind. If you're heading up Lilith I'll see you on the third floor. And we'll talk again, Dark. Later...

 

LightFlare heads to the elevator and rides it to the first floor. He rides it to the main floor. He steps of and begins looking for Penny...

 

Penny....?

(And there they go. Hopefully they take a proper break. Their bodies may be fine, but their mind and soul need a break as well.)

 

The cafeteria looked like your average cafeteria. There weren't that many people around so most tables were empty.

 

Everyone began grabbing plates and food. They took a seat and discussed the results of the drill.

 

18 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"I have some thoughts about what's going on, but I would rather not fill your head with baseless guessing. As for your other side, you've merely contained it, not made it part of you. It's going to be damn hard but... you're going to have to confront your other side again...and accept it."

 

The problem isn't me accepting him. The problem is him "wanting" to be accepted...

 

18 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"The truth is I had something of an inferiority complex due to my clone origins and I was also curious about this dark ability I possessed, I knew it was a dangerous power if I ever lost control of it. But after meeting Dark here, I think it's time I had more confidence in myself."

 

I agree, Lilith. You're obviously a very calm, cool and collected person. Your manners demonstrate your level of self discipline. And based on what Dark says, you'd have to be conflict addicted junkie...heh...like myself, I suppose. Then maybe you'd be in danger. 

 

Dark...I'm willing to accept him...NegaFlare. I truly am. But he's not willing to accept me. He is is own being. He feels he has just as much right to exist in this world as I do. Maybe...maybe he's right. I'm not sure how he came to be, but he's my responsibility. He's my burden. So that's why I carry him with me.

 

I can't just...accept "him". We have to accept each other. If I do confront him...and he doesn't agree to that...then we will be back were we started. You've met him. You've fought against him. He's will is strong. His power may be even stronger. As it stands, I still draw from his power even though he's sealed. I'd like for us to become one...but I don't feel I can trust him.

 

After all...I'd be asking him to give up his own existence. Unless you know another way...?

Lucent, Umbra, Melina and Anwalt are healed.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I've worked up an appetite. Let's grab a bite to eat in the cafeteria.

 

All 4 went to the cafeteria to find food.

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"That's right. I remember you mentioned something like that back at The Bottom."

 

Flare proceeded to laugh unable to contain his laughter.

 

(This twisted old bastard is laughing....? Does he enjoy my pain THAT much?)

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"I'm not completely convinced that would be the case, but I have nothing else to go on."

 

"I don't know where to start for finding answers about your past, Light. But there is one I know for sure. There will be a time....where you will need to break that seal. You and your so called dark side must become one."

 

(At least Lilith seems to have some compassion. If Darkflare isn't evil...then he sure has a twisted sense of humor.)

 

So Dark...how do you explain a separate entity made from the remnants of my own will to fight, my so called "addiction" to adrenaline and the influence of the Dark Hadou? Can it be possible that although we seem to have some similarities...that I'm in fact a special case? Possibly from a different program all together?

 

What am saying? I have way too many questions. I guess I've found bliss in my ignorance up to this point. You do make one interesting point, Darkflare. This dark side of me has a name. I've always thought that just by sealing him "inside me"...that we were one. But if we both have our own name, then are we truly "one?" I'll just have to see when the time comes.

 

How about you Lilith? Have you found the answers you were looking for?

 

6 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"It doesn't seem like any of you have received any serious wounds. No broken bones either? If you have no adverse effects to light or holy magic, then a basic healing spell should be enough."

 

No objections here...

 

Umbra, Lucent and Melina agreed as well.

 

6 hours ago, Darkflare said:

Lilith looked over at Light.

 

"You, Light. You're Lightflare. Light and Dark, two opposites. There has to be a connection here."

 

"Honestly...never thought about that."

 

LightFlare had been processing everything he heard. He took a few seconds before responding to Lilith...

 

When we met Darkflare you asked me if I were a clone. I said no, but the truth is I don't really know if that's true. I can't remember my early years as a child and I don't know who my parents are. If what you say is true...then there's a chance...I'm...I'm a clone as well. All I know of my distant past IS my name. I don't know who named me. But it was all I could remember. 

 

And then there's the fact that both of you specialize in Dark Hadou. But I use both. You both don't seem to be effected by the Dark Hadou. But I continually train my mind to this day so that I can suppress the evil within. 

 

I guess since you're in the sharing mood, Dark...I'll share something. When most people say they had to fight themselves...they mean metaphorically. But in my case...I literally battled against my dark side personified. I won and he's sealed within what I can only describe as a "dark area within my subconscious." 

 

But I'm assuming if I am indeed a clone...that we are part of the same program. I may be overthinking this...but It's something I'd like to know the truth about.

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

The top floors were reserved for facilities focused on recovering as one side hosted the cafeteria while the other side had the infirmary.

 

The group approaches receptionist of the infirmary.

 

We just finished a gruelling training session and would like to be evaluated. 

 

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

"You must have been out of your element. Too used to fighting 1 on 1 in the arena."

 

 

(He's actually smiling. Heh...he's enjoying this moment for sure)

 

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

"At least he's used to actually fighting. I'm still just getting used to it myself."

 

"Well, there's some benefits to all that arena fighting. Although expanding your horizons wouldn't hurt."

 

"Anyway, let's get to business."

 

Flare takes.out his tablet and begins to tap commands into it.

 

"Light, if you weren't already present when I talked to Lilith earlier, I wouldn't be talking about this with you. Anything I say regarding what I found about her stays with you unless she agrees to share. Got it?"

 

Of course. I've enjoyed our reunion. The training session was great. But I didn't come here for a strole down memory lane and a workout. And although I'm glad to help, I didn't come purely out of the kindness of my heart. No offense, Lilith. Your style. Your aura. It's no coincidence. There aren't many practitioners of our style...at least to my knowledge. And if it's one thing I've learned. My old "pal" Darkflare...will have a bit of insight on the situation. Now...continue.

10 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"Infirmary's on the top levels, m'lady. The elevators can take you there."

 

Thanks! I'll be heading up. Raina? Guys? You coming?

 

I'll be up soon. I'll check on Penny on the way up. See you there. 

 

Lucent, Anwalt and Umbra all nod and follow Melina to the elevator. They take the elevator to the top floor.

 

10 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"Right here, Light. I had to come here personally to shut this down. Sorry, but my employees come first."

 

Undertood.

 

10 hours ago, Darkflare said:

"Thinking up strategies on the fly is rough. I had a feeling it would be before we started, but even so. At least Leon was able to help me out."

 

"By the way..."

 

"I received the results of that study from the scans made on you during the drill. We should discuss that in private."

 

Sounds like you both learned quite a bit from this drill. So did I. It seems I can still benefit from a few different facets of training.  

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

Soon after, both groups would meet up with Raph.

 

"Welcome back, everyone. So boring part first, the Hideout is a technological marvel as is, but we like to add a little magic in the mix. Problem was, this drill is particularly taxing on the magic side. We keep going for longer and the mages helping us perform the drill would be in trouble. Boss ordered the early shut down because of it."

 

"Now for the part you actually care about. The hero's team here was ahead when I had to shut it down, so I suppose that makes them the winners. Still, both sides had casualties happen so you need to keep working on your skills as well as your teamwork. Out there, you won't get a second chance. And if you want to argue that you could definitely take hits better out there, allow me to tell you that one hit in a weak spot is all it takes to take down even the toughest. Nonetheless, I gotta admit that was good work from both sides. Get yourselves patched up and take some rest, I'm certain you all took quite the work out there."

 

Can't argue that I could've done better. 

 

But in the end, we worked well together. And it was quite fun I might add.

 

Yea...especially when Light became worm food! Hahaha!

 

Oh really...and how did YOU fare in enemy territory during the drill? You get away clean?

 

Of...of course I did! I'm not some rock for brains idiot like you!

 

Uuummmm...hmmmmm...sure you did.

 

Can you two knock it off for even a moment?

 

You guys are too adorable...

 

....but don't let that go to your head, Anwalt.

 

My ego is already swole. One extra "stroke" won't hurt. If you catch my...

 

For the love of the unholy gods! Will you two just get a room already!?

 

Actually that reminds me...we have reservations. We can rest up here before we head to our suite. I'm pretty sure the maid said there was a medical facility here. I could just heal you but I'm a bit spent on magic.

 

That's quite understandable. I imagine it was some pretty intense work babysitting us all.

 

Speak for yourself, Light Bulb. You were hogging all the Healing.

 

That's cuz your skull is so thick that the bullets were bouncing off your head. You probably didn't feel a thing!

 

You're right! Cuz I'm one tough...son of a...

 

Anwalt...

 

What?! I was gonna say "Son of a Demon!" Don't get you panties in a bunch! Geez!

 

Aaaaanyway....Ralphy. Could you kindly direct us to your medical facilities?

 

Also...is Darkflare still nearby? And Lilith how is she?

 

@Darkflare

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

Soon after the enemies and the environment began to disappear.

 

Melina prepares to strike when the assassin disappears right before her eyes...

 

What's going on? He disappeared!?

 

Did we lose? Did the other team already finish?

 

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

"Sorry boys and girls but I'm afraid we'll have to end this one early due to technical difficulties and safety concerns. Head to the center so we can pull you out quickly."

 

Something must have happened. We'd better head back quickly. Raina! We're heading back!

 

LightFlare, Melina, Umbra, Lucent and Anwalt head to the center of the arena.

Thanks bruh

The assassin is unable to notice the axe from above and proceeds to wear it as a hat. And then it dies.

 

 

That's a bold fashion statement. But I think you pulled it off...now. Time to go hunting.

 

A portal opens and wolf comes out, snatches the axe out of the assassins head and brings it to Umbra. Umbra goes into making his next move.

 

7 hours ago, Darkflare said:

The wolf would manage to attack the leg as the assassin was unable to recover from the first wolf. As it did, the assassin would try use its second leg to trap the wolf's neck in between them, before getting caught by Melina. Of course, Melina had to take into account the wolf latched onto its keg if she were to continue with the slam.

 

Huuaaah!

 

Melina decides to repay the helpful wolves by not slamming them along with the assassin and instead uses her strong grip to simply snap his neck...seeing as "great minds think alike." This allows the wolf trapped between the assassins legs to escape. The other wolf simply released his grip. 

 

Good boys...now to find the "real threat."

 

Melina petted the wolves who then seemingly barked in appreciation before reuniting with Umbra. Melina begins to survey the area.

 

7 hours ago, Darkflare said:

The assassin would notice the wind up for the uppercut and lean back to avoid it before swerving fast in an attempt to headbutt Anwalt.

 

 

Anwalt begins leaning his body back brings his arm down from the missed uppercut and tries to catch the Assassin on the bridge of the nose hopping to at least stun the assassin enough to retreat or continue the assault. 

 

7 hours ago, Darkflare said:

When Light began to make the motion to charge his attack, Lilith would immediately strike him with a palm thrust infusing him with her dark ki in the process to severely disrupt his ki flow and make it incredibly difficult to use his ki to do anything. But then again, it's not like Light isn't unfamiliar with dark ki...

 

The dark chi inside LightFlare became erratic...

 

(What was that attack?! I'm having trouble controlling my Dark Chi...)

 

Hmph!

 

LightFlare stomps the ground. This time no dark energy surrounds him. He appears calm again.

 

(I'll need to use my Light Techniques for the time being...)

 

7 hours ago, Darkflare said:

Regardless, after the palm thrust, Lilith would be forced out of their arena as her invading time was out.

 

(We'll have to settle up next time...eh, Young Lady.)

 

7 hours ago, Darkflare said:

The remaining assassin had positioned itself in an area overlooking the group. Blade in hand, it waited for its moment. In an instant, the sound of both snipers firing about a second apart from each shot was heard, as the assassin proceeded to reflect those bullets toward Lucent and Raina.

 

Anwalt hears the gunshots. Unaware of who the target is, he takes no chances and falls on his back using the momentum from his previous attack on the assassin.

"Whoopsies!"

 

Hearing the gunshot, Lucent, Melina, Umbra and LightFlare quickly find cover. 

 

Raina! Crap! Can anyone tell where the snipers are?!

 

I can..!

 

I can, as well! 

 

Good! You two can take on those two snipers. Melina! How bout you show that assassin who's the fastest? I'll continue to support from here. 

 

Sounds like a  plan, Pretty Boy! Hook a girl up wit some extra speed!

 

They're not to far from where the others are. Based on where the gun shots came from. 

 

Well that assassin will be on top of us any second. And the snipers are gonna blast every box till we have no cover left. So we'd better move! Ready!?

 

 

Melina, LightFlare and Lucent nod to show they understand. Lucent casts Boon of Swiftness on Melina. Melina sprints from behind her cover and runs toward the Assassin that was deflecting bullets. She closes the gap and draws her arm back hoping to deliver a strong attack. If it connects it will cause the assassin to be stunned and open to another attack.

 

At the same time LightFlare and Umbra flanked by 3 wolves begin moving towards the Snipers. Umbra uses his wolves to pinpoint the snipers locations. One wolf rushes one of the snipers while the other rushes the remaining sniper. The third wolf uses the spiral technique on order to attack the assassin fighting Anwalt.

The Assassin sidesteps to his right as he then proceeds to swing at the chain trying to slice it off with one slice. If nothing else, it would at least disrupt the direction it would return.

 

The assassins blade cuts the chain from the axe as the axe continues to go through the portal behind the assassin. 

 

Heh...

 

The portal closes as the blade goes through and reopens over the assassins new position as the axe comes flying back out like a spear at the assassins back. Simultaneously Umbra pulls back the chain and tries to swing it towards the assassins legs in an effort to capture them or distract him.

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

The assassin would move to its left to avoid Melina's attack, but one of the wolves would manage to pounce on it when it did so. It quickly tried to grab the wolf and kick it away

 

 

The second wolf is relentless and immediately goes for the leg of the assassin. Meanwhile, Melina quickly recovers from her missed attack and tries to use her small window of opportunity to grab the assassin from the back with her arm around his neck. If successful she will slam him to the ground on his head.

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

The assassin notices and proceeds to intercept the attack and "catch" the punch and try to counter attack with a palm strike.

 

 

Anwalt pulls back on his captured are, places his feet firmly on the ground, tightens his stance, blocks the palm strike with his forearm and tries to use the same arm to deliver an uppercut that could send the assassin airborne if it connects.

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

 

The pillar does manage to intercept the orbs destroying them in the process. Lilith took the opportunity use her Ashura warp technique to close the distance toward Light. From there, she focused her ki on her hands.

 

This has been quite exhilarating, young lady. But I know you're not done..

 

8 hours ago, Darkflare said:

("He's too versatile, he can stop any attempt at destroying their cover.")

 

She moved toward Light as she began to focus.

 

 

LightFlare begins to charge his next attack. This all to familiar stance tells what possibly lies ahead for Lilith...

 

Let's keep the teamwork going, Light! Chill Focus!

 

Lucent casts Chill Focus on LightFlare.

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

With the portal behind him and his target in front, the assassin proceeded to run toward Umbra blade in hand ready to strike if he got close enough.

 

You're "dead" set on getting me,huh? 

 

Umbra aims for the assassins head and uses his right arm to throw his axe like a Javelin as its chain flails behind it. The portal comes closer to the Assassin.

 

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

It's target elminated for the moment, the assassin proceeded to set it's sight on Lucent, noting his intentions to heal Melina back up. It proceeded to run toward him.

 

Having been healed, Melina quickly does aerial role and perched on top of a box not targeted by the enemy. She pushes of the box and executes a flying kick at the back of the assassins head. If it connects she will follow up with a heavy hitting combo.

 

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

Still pinned down from holding back the orb, the assassin is struck by the rock and charged orb.....and the orb it was holding back. Without a doubt, this assassin was eliminated.

 

Yeah! We got this in the bag!

 

Anwalt rushes the one of the other assassins with a hook punch that can apply a weakpoint if it connects.

 

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

The assassin proceeded to slide underneath the incoming wolves and turn toward them. It would then proceeded to focus its attention to where the wolves were coming from.

 

The wolves stop spinning, quickly turn around and pounce on the assassin looking to grab his arms. If successful the the assassin will be unable to attack for the next turn.

 

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

Lilith proceeds to sidestep and respond with a few orbs of her own toward Light. She intended to use these orbs as a distraction as she would proceed to disengage from fighting him directly. Instead, Lilith proceeded to target the nearby boxes with a few more orbs intending to destroy as much cover as she could in the short time she had.

 

 

LightFlare uses the the leaping strike technique to place himself between Lilith and the boxes. LightFlare uses the boxes behind him to block him from the enemy snipers.

 

 

LightFlare as he hits the ground he does not use his elbow strike but instead uses the energy pillar attack from before. This time however the pillars do not surround him but instead raise in front of him intending to block the orbs from Lilith.

 

On 11/9/2019 at 4:51 AM, Darkflare said:

The remaining assassins began to retreat looking to pick up any dropped blades and group up for another plan of attack. At the same time, the remaining spider-bots began to make beeping sounds and flash lights as they proceeded to change targets and also proceeded to head toward the boxes being used as cover intending to destroy them as well by self destructing on top of them.

 

Raina! Take out those pesky spiders! Chill Focus!

ʕु-̫͡-ʔु”-- Beautiful And Breathtaking! This Is A Great Stage For Plot! Awesome Job, LightFlare_Da_Realest And GDM! 10/10! ~(>᎑<`๑)

Thanks bro. I've got some good feedback from some of the other forums, and I'll be updating this as soon as I can.
