[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Another week passes in this universe, and Saeid can be seen using a training sword from the school. It's a blade of absurd size, used as a way of increasing one's endurance, via wielding a weapon far heavier than what you'd normally be using. Nearly a good nine feet in length, and almost two feet wide, this hunk of steel on a handle was dull, but heavy. Using this weapon, Saeid slowly works his body to its limits, almost killing himself a few times. After the week, three men appear, one looking to be some sort of hunter, one looking like a samurai, and another looking like a soldier from a modern world. All three go on a rampage, shooting the inhabitants of the ruined town.
"Clear this area out. The Boss wants to make this his new home of operations." One of them says, the soldier, as he smokes a cigar. The Samurai nods, and cleaves though a man who had tried to sneak across the street when they had apparently passed him. The hunter took to the roof tops, shooting people from afar with a cross bow. Never landing a killing blow, he seemed to enjoy watching his prey bleed to death...

"Now I'm not exactly a saint or anything." Asura says as he floats down. Landing behind the soldier "but you guys aren't going to live long in these parts if you insist on killing innocents."

Not wasting any time, the trio begin to pull back. "Damn it, the kishin showed up. Call in the reaper." The soldier says, and soon, a rather ominous looking cloaked figure appears.
"Asura, take maka and leave..we have no greviances with you." The hooded man says, a tone slightly familiar. Saeid silently creeps across the city to the hunter, and begins to make his way up the building...

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias folds his arms. "Alright, so we're not killing him, but Drac might. And... Drac killed his daughter." Mithias puts a hand to his chin and looks pensive. "Hmm. Well I don't see any reason to intervene other than my friends might die and Drac was an asshole. I can't say I know the whole story though. Vengeance is a complicated thing."

"Protect..." Another voice sounds in Mithias' head.

"Hmm." He says closing his eyes.

Asura chuckled "you honestly expect me to let you guys murder people?"

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
"I expect you to turn a blind eye. Move somewhere else. Maybe have a few kids. That sorta thing, now just shoo..I'd hate to have to remove you from the tr-" The hooded man starts, before a scream could be heard. Torn from the lower half of his body, the hunter let out a scream as his upper half fell from the building, Saeid throwing up after seeing what he had done, accidentally hurling up on the severed torso. The soldier runs, opening fire at Saeid, but at his current distance, he gets only close shots. Saeid leaps off the back of the building, cracking his leg during the fall, but managing to hobble off into one of the buildings. Asura could sense where he was..but the Soldier was unable to.

"You'd better hightail it out of here." Asura says "but first I'd like to know who sent you."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Shrugging, the hooded figure pulls their hood back, to reveal Ozzy.
"You know, when someone looses their home to save the multiverse, people should act more respectful to their demands..." Ozzy says, looking a little less than pleased, and looking to have a lot more scars. Slowly, the Soldier and Saeid play a game of cat and mouse, thrown stones, and rolling barrels leading to dead ends and confusing passageways. Saeid is at the disadvantage, with a fractured leg, but he still manages to out smart the Soldier due to the principle of home turf advantage...but he can't do so for long.

@supertinyking

"Ah. I see...." Asura says as a skin scarf reaches out and wraps around the soldier before lifting him off the ground

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
The soldier squirms in the grip of the scarf, struggling. The samurai rushes forwards, leaping up, intending to sever the scarf, only for his leg to be struck by Saeid's sword. Saeid's fractured leg splinted with two bits of board, and wire, it allows him to move rather recklessly, as he causes the Samurai to end up going into a building, slamming against the door, and breaking it down. Saeid looks over at Asura. "..I guess we're even..Kishin." He says, before readying his blade, expecting a retort from the Samurai.
"Please, kill him. Then I won't need to pay him." Ozzy says, and the soldier begins to panic, attempting to get to a pistol on his belt. Ozzy just chuckles, enjoying watching the man squirm.

@supertinyking

"Well since you asked nicely......." the skin scarf unwraps around the soldier. Dropping him only to catch him again. This time wrapping around his arms and legs and tightening. Leading to broken arms and legs "nah, I think this'll do." Asura says as he gently sets the soldier down

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Writhing in pain, and growling, and shouting obscenities at Asura, the soldier was left relatively harmless. Saeid begins to walk towards the door of the building, only to find the slumped over corpse of the Samurai. He had broken his neck on impact with the door, and with how his neck was bent at the current, it was safe to say he wouldn't be getting up any time soon.
Saeid looks over at Ozzy, and readies his blade. "Leave. Now, before I end up turning you into mince meat." Saeid threatens. "Oh, look at the big bad sith playing hero....Compared to you, I'm a saint, a saint of non-violence!" Ozzy states. Saeid seems confused. "Come again?" He asks. "..You really don't understand the true scope of what you did, do you? He doesn't know, does he?" Ozzy says, the second question being directed at Asura.

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

"I'm not sure he remembers." Asura says

[Wraithblade6]

Clearly the hooded man, who was Ozzy, Bug's brother, and Asura, and maybe the samuri dude or the soldier dude... ok not so much the soldier dude anymore, but somebody was going to kill Saeid, formerly known as Darkside.

"I'm not going to watch this." Mithias was unimpressed with the confusion and the torment of an injured human and started to walk off. "I'm going to find Drac and give him a mouthful." He turned and walked off discontent with the situation.

Suddenly a white beam of light drops from the sky onto Ozzy and he gets blasted a hundred feet away. Eclipse lands with a boom in front of Saeid. "Redemption! ...Shall not be taken from this one by any demon!" The angel stand in his shiny armor, armed this time with a sharp halberd as he looks down at the human. "If a new beginning is what you seek mortal, then you shall have that chance." Eclipse turns and glares at all around. "Anyone who intends to interfere with the sincere search for light and peace will have to deal with me."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Laughing, Ozzy dashes forwards, planting his hand against the side of Saeid's head. In a searing pain, the view of Darkside's victims are shown to Saeid, and at the same time, this leaves a large hand like brand on the side of Saeid's head, making him. Slowly, Saeid collapses to his knees.
"...That...that wasn't me....that was..a monster. I'm..not a monster." He says. "...Kid, the worst monsters are the ones that are men...and you're the worst of the worst." Ozzy says, grinning like a madman. Saeid slowly stands, and looks at his blade, as if contemplating his own end. He sets the swords down before him, as if to smash his own skull in with it....
In one rapid movement, Ozzy lets out a laugh, and finishes with a gurgle. As he swings upwards in a manner looking to be suicide, Saeid steps forwards, catching Ozzy's chin, and in a swift motion, removes his jaw. Ozzy scrambles backwards, and retreats though a portal, his severed jaw flailing about. Saeid frowns, and begins to look angry. This look slowly grows worse, before he tears down a small building by hefting his blade into it. Such a feat that dislocates both of Saeid's arms. "...I...am a monster." Saeid says, looking down..tears forming in his eyes.

@Wraithblade6
Eclipse manages to catch Ozzy with the beam as Ozzy retreats, severing one of his limbs as he tries to DDDDOOOODDDDGGGEEEEEEEEEE. Ozzy crawls off, and into a portal away from the angel, and the angry man with the big sword. Still upset with himself, Saeid uses his sword to smash said store again, and gets sad again.4

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

"You were a monster." Asura says "but now you have a second chance."

[Wraithblade6]

Eclipse sighs as Ozzy leaves, glad. "Now that the instigator is gone," He glares at Asura for a moment and nods. Then he goes over to Saeid. "You, mortal, can be free to continue your life."

@Wraithblade6

"What's the point? I have no family, no friends, no doubt millions upon trillions of people are out for my head...I should go just bury myself in a spike pit...." He says, not overly happy right now. Soon, several of the dead townspeople begin to get back up again..and shamble towards Saeid. Eclipse would be the first to pick up on why, the brand on Saeid's head causing angry spirits to posses the dead near him, and seek revenge.
"Now fucking zombies? for...fucks...sake!" Saeid says, pulling his blade from the wreckage, and, surprisingly with two broken arms, goes rather berserk, slashing, and hacking away at zombies left and right.

@supertinyking

Eclipse throws a shield on Saeid and zombies literally drop at his feet. "No need to get upset. Do you have a home?"
