Being one of the few people with access to fire, She recommended Sectonia help burn them a path with Mokou. and while Sectonia would be totally fine removing this blight from their path, when there was a mention of wanting to look at what was up the elevator and what loot their could potentially be. Speaking of, she had crushed and stored the item of the guardian her, Blazermate and Mokou killed. [hider=item obtained] https://wiki.warframe.com/w/Hema[/hider] When Sandalphon recommended that she could teleport back to the group, Sectonia offered her own services to dealing with what was up at the top. [color=92278f]"Once you are back with the group, you can also summon me by calling me forth. So I can escort you up there as well."[/color] Sectonia offered. But before that she had to help clear all that infection, and while her fire power weren't nearly as strong as Mokous, she could summon her red antlers to help clear the path with their flamethrowers while Sectonia herself threw her rings of light to try to clear sections and cause a bit of chaos with the stuff holding out in the area. Blazermate meanwhile was on healing duty like always, deploying her projectile shield to help them push and using divine stars to heal the group as a whole from time to time. ============================= [center][h2][color=d7d7d7]Roland[/color][/h2] Level 7 Roland (69/70) Location: Eseka Word Count: Less than 750 [/center] Roland made his way to the pool matches. He figured it would be some arena, but once he got to the location of the fight, he found it was some... nondescript platform hovering above an empty landscape? Well, it wasn't a major tournament match, so that made sense. But this was really low tech even for a tournament. With his opponent already there, Roland was ready for his fight. He was used to fighting martial artists, so this shouldn't be too bad once he got the flow of things. As the fight started, Roland's floor was chosen. This time it was the floor of Natural Sciences and this would be quite the interesting floor to roll for such a fight. As the fight started and both fighters got into range, Roland started with a quick bash from his mace, which was overpowered by Jeffry's grab game, Jeffery deflecting the mace hit and throwing Roland away. So Jeffery was a grappler, Roland knew how to fight these as many in the Middle were also grapplers, and with that clash loss, Roland reached emotion level 1 and gained Hate, a girls voice saying "I hate a peaceful world… It’s like… It’s like I’m not needed anymore…". Keeping his pressure, Jeffery, moved in to follow up on Roland recovering, Roland using his daggers and gauntlets to out agile his opponent. This failed due to one of his spirits slowing him down at the start of fights, causing him to get grabbed and slammed once again. From the ground, Roland swiped at Jeffery with his hammer, causing him to fall down and letting Roland get back up. With this Roland hit emotion level 2, gaining Despair, a deeper woman's voice saying "I swore to protect, yet I lost them again…". This continued for a bit more, Roland gaining and losing clashes and Jeffery slamming him down or getting hit himself, but eventually as Roland hit emotion level 3 gaining Greed, a sultry woman's voice saying "Nothing was left in my wake. Only visceral greed remained." and partway into 4, Jeffery had managed to do enough damage to win Round 1. Roland then learned that his emotion levels didn't reset within the tournament as Round 2 started and Jeffery had gained some leeway into the match, using Roland's own Hate and Greed to heal or punish Roland a bit more than he normally could. But once Roland had clashed with his greatsword, winning the clash and gaining emotion level 4, the match started to turn around. Roland gained Wrath, an angry woman, almost monsterous voice saying "SINNERS OF THE OTHERWORLDS!!! EMBODIMENTS OF EVIL!!!", and he gained a massive boost in power. Normally the downside of Wrath would be blinding Roland to friends and foes alike, but with there being only a single target for his wrath, there was no downside. He had also managed to gain the EGO Gold Rush and Blind Rage during this time. Round 2 Jeffery had managed to barely eek out a win by having a smidge more health than Roland as the timer ticked down by managing to get Roland to stagger off one of his throws ad follow up on it. However once Roland hit emotion level 4 and his slow start debuff had expired, he found that his grabs weren't doing much of anything anymore. Roland had refrained from using his ranged options for the time, which would've made the fight much easier, in order to gain emotion levels against Jeffery faster. And once round 3 happened and Roland unleashed a wave of acid from Blind Rage, He was on the backfoot. While he tried to continue his grapples on Roland, Roland had gotten faster and could poke in and out, dodging his grabs with relative ease with his longer ranged melee attacks like his lance and swords. And once Roland hit Emotion level 5, it was over for Jeffery. Once Roland hit emotion level 5, he grabbed Nix, and as the echoy voice of the Jester of Nihil came from him saying "Leading the way through foolishness, there’s not a thing to guide me." and him gaining the Ego In the name of Love and Hate, Roland radiated an aura of pure corroding darkness. This aura greatly weakened Jeffery, slowed him down, and more or less made him too slow to ever touch and too weak to counter any of Roland's moves again. After Roland had gained Nix, things weren't all that eventful. Jeffery having slow movement to start with was just too slow to catch the now amped up Roland who was doing even more damage with all the downsides of his previous emotion powers removed and the power of Nix weakening Jeffery in strength, defense, and speed making rounds 3, 4, and 5 far easier. With rounds 4 and 5 being flawless victories for Roland as Nix was active at the start of said rounds.
