The Heroes of Beacon

For the most part, Tai had an uneventful walk. It seemed that most of the Grimm in his area were attracted to the other, louder fighters going on, some of which he could hear going on elsewhere. Without the Grimm, the place was calm, peaceful, majestic with it's painted reds and sweeping forest trees. He walked with a destination in mind, but did not race ahead, careful to take the path of least resistance, while also being able to contemplate and prepare. After all, there wasn't much point in arriving at the artifacts without a partner, was there?

Fortunately, fate seemed to have a partner in store for him. In he course of his almost idyllic stroll, he could hear the sound of someone else moving through the underbrush nearby. The sounds also indicated that said person wasn't exactly having the best time of things.

Well, fate appeared to have thrown him something, so he oriented himself and moved to meet with whomever this person was, eventually emerging from the trees to come into sight range. "Well, looks like we're partners then," he said to the boy who up until that time, had been muttering under his breath. "I'm Tai Zhou."

The Heroes of Beacon

I have yet to partner up. I was waiting on Irish to pick for me, but I don't think that'll really happen at this point.

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Yay, more arguments and such. Also, ability. I think I'll go with the spell Blink/Mirage, so Thomas can make illusions of himself to confuse the enemy.

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Given Joshua's pause, Thomas was able to address Oner's response first. "Oh, right," he replied. Honestly, he couldn't remember if he'd met Bahamut before like this, but fortunately it didn't seem like Oner remembered either, so he just rolled with it. But wait, no, it wasn't just Bahamut, it was NEO Bahamut, the second and more powerful form. Still, the blow was lessened by Thomas already knowing of the summon that Reno/Oner had.

Well, given that, he turned and faced Bahamut, giving a deep bow. "It is an honor to meet you, King of the Dragons," he said, not flourishing and akin to showing off, but respectful. After all, the guy lived on the freaking Moon. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the most part. Far more impressive than people meeting Carbuncle (Not that anything was wrong with Carbuncle. It just happened to be a green bunny. Not quite as impressive as the King of the Dragons)

Then Joshua spoke, and that was a successful shot at his nerves, earning a slight growl and a tightening of his fists. Again, he didn't like nicknames. It was hardly his fault that that never stuck with the only other person here. "It's Thomas, not Tommy boy," he spat back. "I don't need someone else starting with dumb nicknames."

His attention was diverted as the Cola Mountain exploded, bringing his departure to a halt, and he watched with impressed eyes as a pillar of light ascended into the sky and the bugs all went flying to their deaths, like Lemmings off a cliff. It was actually kind of artistic to watch. Well, looked like that was one less thing to do, so he called off heading up there to help everyone, He could see everyone coming on their Gliders, and thus didn't need to be concerned. Hopefully.

And then Joshua started again, and his anger grew, like a seething mass inside him as the warrior insulted him and mocked him. God, he wanted to punch him in the face so hard right now. Fortunately, he still had some restraint left, and he managed to avoid a physical brawl. that didn't mean he was silent though. "Screw you," he said in a low tone, head bowed, before he met Joshua and glared at him. "Why the hell do you care? You're only with the group anyway because you feel like it. If Amaya wasn't here, you'd ditch us to go do whatever the hell you want in a heartbeat. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time. So maybe I'm not the strongest person here, but at least I actually care about what we're trying to do."

His heartbeat thudded in his ears as his fingernails dug into the palms of his hands, energy brimming over in anger. He spun about then, taking a few steps away from everyone before he paused. "I'm going for a walk," he said over his shoulder, before departing the area while flipping Joshua the bird in the process, trusting that at least one of them would be able to find the Sign they were here for. He needed to go somewhere else and clear his head.

And as he walked through the candy coated landscape, hidden beneath magical armor, his dark wound, which had sunk into some kind of remission, flared back to life, pulsing and malevolent, spreading it's poison through his body and mind, unbeknownst to himself.

RWBY

Personally, I'm taking Torchwick's speech to the White Fang with a grain of salt. At this point there's no way to prove if that's what he actually thinks, or if it was just him playing to the crowd, and given how anime tends to work, I'm not gonna leap to hasty conclusions. And while the White Fang may be an army for them, it's fairly evident that this is an alliance of convenience that will end as soon as one side thinks they've won against their common foe and has a big enough dagger to stab the other in the back with.

Anyway, yes, Dust has a lot of energy given the explosion generated by the presence of particles in the air in Episode 2, and given the lack of gas stations and the like, I would say it's used as fuel, as well as other things. I guess I'm just trying to reconcile the dust store robbery also in episode 1 with 'let's build an army to fight a war'

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

*Slow clap* Bravo Joshua, Bravo.

The Heroes of Beacon

Most things about this entire show are impossible in real life. I would hold off on the lasers until we see anyone besides the combat android (read, Penny) use them.

The Heroes of Beacon

The Irish Tree said
...Don't you think the lasers and insects is kinda...pushing it?

Well, not the lasers. This is, after all, a setting where one can deflect/dodge bullets, so lasers shouldn't be that much harder. Of course, one might ask how a Grimm is able to generate lasers in the first place, but best not to look too deep into that. Seems more like a Boss Grimm than a general mook though.

Ba'al sighed as Ghost Rider drove off on a flaming motorcycle, not all too saddened to see the strange...thing go. Let it do as it wanted. In the long run, he would triumph even if it managed to get to the dragon first. He attention was drawn to some mid air quarrel as the witty girl argued with some other flyers, them doing aerial acrobatics for the sake of being 'on top'. That drew an inward smirk, with the remembrance of the saying of heights and falls. He was a System Lord after all, with over 20,000 years of memory, and how many others had he seen fall as a result of their arrogance and their egos.

Saber did raise some points, and another walked over to ask him how they were going to get to the dragon, as well as Sorin's imaginative plan. He addressed transport first. "Well, since most of us, unlike the man with the flaming skull, have no vehicles, I assumed we would be walking. Besides those of us who can fly anyway. Ideally those with an aerial advantage would scout the path ahead and be some advance warning of ambushes, but who can tell at the moment."

He then turned to Sorin's plan. "Should the dragon allow itself to be used as a lure for our foe, then that plan may have merit. Still, there is no guarantee that this dragon is a creature of fire, as so many have pointed out. We must be careful." He then turned to look at Saber. "I agree. More likely than not what was in the forest was some other predator, and the dragon is, in fact, near the mountain peak." He gestured towards the ash and miasma that rose into the air at the indicated location.

"Now then, to best take advantage of our flying companions, as well as the fact that we know there is something dangerous in the forest, I would suggest we take the rocky path, even if it means moving somewhat slower as a result," he said, stepping forward to see who would follow.

Ba'al volunteers to be a Master. These people would make good Generals for his armies.
