Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Abel Fulgurate – Grimm Studies

Abel managed to pay a patchy attention at best to both Robert and his teammates, instead focusing on the aquatic monstrosity the class had been tasked to slay. Predictably, RPGD's leader was the first to take the proverbial plunge, dashing onto a pad and then taking time to call out a bet of all things. “How did this man ever beat me?” questioned the guardian in a depressed mutter as the Megaladeus delivered unto Robert a ruthless tailslap. The others, unfortunately, seemed to be following his example in terms of strategy, since the second to attack -Cobalt- lasted only a second before tumbling into the pool from Abel's perspective. At this, the guardian groaned. He, too, was a pretty big guy, and admittedly not all that smart either, but somehow he'd thought of not trying to balance on the little floating pads and placing himself in the perfect position to become chum.

Abel continued watching, waiting for an opening to throw the Ampere in for the kill, while Cobalt tore a gash in the Megaladeus's side. Bone armor aside, sharks were not renowned for their external durability, having only cartilage for skin. Though the wound bled profusely, sifting through the water and hinting at the possibility of visual obstruction, it did not cause the Grimm to go berserk. The moment that Sangue leaped into the fray marked the moment Abel realized that his heart was pounding, and the sight of BASL's swordswoman flubbing her rescue of Cobalt and delaying chowdown a mere second or two longer made him realize that he couldn't afford to simply stand at the sidelines and wait to attack—not while there were people he needed to protect. Lowering the Ampere, he ran past Sepia, who didn't seem to understand the immediate danger of the situation Sangue and Cobalt were in. Having produced and activated a water grenade, he lobbed it at the Megaladeus, bopping it on the nose and screwing up its electromagnetic sensors just long enough for the grenade to sink and explode. The resulting current pushed Cobalt and Sangue to the edge of the pool, and Abel knelt with hands extended and great strength ready to pull them both up. This came not a moment too soon, for the Grimm snapped its jaws closed in the spot occupied by the two teens just a second before. If I hadn't helped them up, I would have been in a perfect position to impale it. “Fighting it one at a time is suicide,” he snapped, not really sure if the Megaladeus -with its dulled teeth- could kill, but phrasing his sentence morbidly anyway for effect. “Sharks are vicious but dumb,” he continued, louder so that others like Robert could hear. “If we can get it to bite something, like a shield or a pad, it'll be open for attack.” His eyes tracked the dark shape, returned underwater now that all had left its domain.

Infirmary

The inside of the machine was still, dark, and quiet, save for the constant electronic hum that reverberated though every molecule of the blond boy's body. He tried to remain still, but could not keep himself from shivering. Beneath the unseen and immutable eye of the scanning device, he felt exposed and bare, just as he had so many times before. Now, however, this process of probing within him felt most scary than ever, for any second, any second now, they could find it.

“What's this?”

Oh no.

Around him, the air began to stir, vibrating in time to his quickened heartbeat. They'd seen it. Somehow, the rays coming from the dark, metal tube around him had pierced through flesh and bone and found it, and carried those images through little wires until they appeared, a catastrophic and revealing mural showing the nurse and the headmaster looking with that calculating, learned intensity over her shoulder, it.

Only one thing would remedy the situation. The boy labored to open his mouth, pulling on the elastic strings that pierced hid lips, and sucked in a stale, metallic breath. The next instant, he let fly the captured air as a single, high-pitched whistle, one the entire medical wing could likely hear. Afterward came a thorough and tranquil calm, stiller than the grave, except for a tiny muttering, synthesized from air: ”And the rest is silence.”

A few moments later he began the lengthy and difficult process of removing himself from the scanning machine. Afterward, though he didn't need to, he walked over behind the device anyway, nursing his new bruises and scrapes with shaking hands. In crumpled heaps there lay the nurse and Ozpin, almost sleeplike if not for the odd positions of their limbs. A wave of guilt flooded over the boy, and the air around him manifested the sounds of sobs. Through them broke a new voice, one not from his semblance: do it, boy. If you don't keep Beacon quiet, I'll tell the Phoenix you've been misbehaving.

Still sniffling, Jay nodded in muted terror. He crouched over the unconscious bodies, pulled open his mouth, and breathed out a singularity of sound to reside beside them. ”Nothing more than malnutrition,” the singularity would repeat, over and over, in a droning, voiceless tone that could pierce the ear and prick the brain. ”Nothing more than malnutrition.” Leaving it behind, the boy sidled over to the display screen for the scanning bed. On it was an x-ray of his torso, and he could see within the picture something he hadn't seen for a long time. Quickly, he looked away, shuffling out of this room and into the next to find a bed and lay down.

Though its influence flowed through every fiber of his being, and projected forth the tempo of his soul to move the silent air, Jay didn't want to be reminded of it.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Pannette and @Stein are, unfortunately, about to be kicked due to timeout. Man, we just can't get a proper stand-in for Priscilla, can we?

@Kabensaal, @Abillioncats, please report in.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Yeah, I guess I should start putting up mentions as well. Man, now I have to start writing a couple more words and at signs.

@Invisible Man

Telling me in OOC would have worked just as well.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Ok, I think I'll just sit in the corner, poking at mushrooms.

@Invisible Man

I'll admit that I didn't read Krieg. I assumed that he was still interacting with Jax or whoever and didn't receive any notification otherwise. The best way to resolve issues like these is to let me know clear and simple, by the way. I never intentionally ignore anyone.

Filia – VS Tacodile Supreme

@VitavitaAR@Flamelord@trevor1001@Invisible Man

Kyouko and Filia passed within inches of one another as the schoolgirl ran past and the magical girl stepped up. From the back of her head, Samson smirked. If a competitor was actually willing to risk her life to help out, good for her. With a smidgen of annoyance, however, Samson noted that his host had yet to stop running. ”Hold up, I wanna see this.” The crow-black hair whipped around, swiftly coagulating into a humanoid shape behind Filia that set down its own feet and lifted her off the ground. Now full-bodied, Samson crossed his arms, still wearing that fanged sneer of amusement. On the other side, Filia curled up into the fetal position, assuming a vaguely backpack-like shape while making it easier for Samson to move himself, and she pivoted her head to get a better view at the same time.

The pair watched, as eager to see the voracious and ferocious Tacodile knocked down a couple of pegs as they were to witness the capabilities of these new folks. Unfortunately, it didn't appear that the salmon-haired boy wanted to be of much use, but the girl unfurled a bladed whip and went to work. Unfortunately, a single, thin cut wouldn't bring down the rampaging Tacodile, and Kyouko barely managed to avoid the beast plowing straight into her. Instead, the massive jaws snapped shut on the Oreo road, ripping a huge chunk out of it. The next instant, a familiar face appeared—the haughty blonde guy Filia rescued from the slimy and malodorous confines of a dumpster just yesterday. When had he followed her? Parasite and host watched, yellow and red eyes wide and intrigued, as Ed leaped onto the monster's tail and buried a blade within the vegetable's verdant skin. Another roar issued from the Tacodile, and it span around, threatening to hurl Ed off into a building and squash Kyouko beneath a red pepper foot. At the same time, another combatant entered the scene: the psychotic masked man from yesterday, who wasted no time in riddling the Tacodile with an SMG, though his bullets of choice were more colorful than they were critical. Filia, meanwhile, spotted something useful. A nearby stop sign appeared to be made of buffalo wings, whose bones would suit a Trichobezoar excellently. Grinning widely at her good luck, she pointed it out to her partner. ”Samson! There!”

He understood immediately. With a single bound the parasite closed the distance before he let Filia down, deconstructed his body, and opened his mouth wide enough to crunch down on the entire stop sign. For a few seconds while the battle raged, he chewed with a bestial vigor, mashing meat, bone, and more into a single mass. Filia groaned all the while; Samson's activities weren't doing her intestines any favors. Finally, Samson puffed up, becoming a wad of sentient hair, complete with face and arms, twice as big as Filia herself. His ink-black cheeks bulged, and all at once he disgorged their contents with a cry of ”Hairball!”

A boulder-sized ball of bone, hair, and other debris shot from his mouth, straight at the Tacodile. With its focus on Ed and Kyouko, it wasn't aware of the incoming peril until the Trichobezoar tore into its side. Thanks to the monster's slag coating, the hole blasted through its midsection was both extra large and extra painful. Screeching in agonized rage, the Tacodile stumbled, but managed to keep its feet. Samson coughed out a few stray follicles and deflated to his normal size for Filia to turn around and face the threat. Though critically wounded, the beast not only lived still, but now threw itself around more powerfully than ever. Frightened, Filia dropped to the ground, and a fresh crop of Ringlet Spikes burrowed through the Oreo road to erupt beneath the Tacodile and drill into its feet, pinning it in place. “I've got it! Take it down!”

DIO – Near Hotel California

@GameguruGG@Azakma

The immediate vibe given off by Juri furthered the interest DIO took in her. As her eyes swept over him, he returned the favor, examining every muscle and curve concluding that this individual would not suffice as mere sustenance or subservience. If possible, he would attempt to win her allegiance with nothing more than his charisma. At the very least, she seemed attracted to him, and he found himself not repulsed by it. More so than the Overlord, who the vampire judged to be nursing ambitions of his own, Juri struck him as the type who would be happy to serve as long as she could do what she pleased.

Her demonstration surprised him. No Stand manifested, and she did not seem to be employing the breathing tricks of Hamon users. From his reading, he knew that great martial artists of the east were able to harness their vital force, somewhat similarly to Hamon, in the form of chakra or ki, thereby enhancing their abilities far beyond mere those of an ordinary human. The force of the purple wave interested him in particular, for range constituted one of his only combat weaknesses. When she was through, he broke out into a wide, predatory, and perhaps even familiar smile. ”I can feel it within you...a lust for the intimate art of brutal combat. It would be my pleasure, and yours too, I think, to test our respective mettle against one another.”

At that moment, Clementine darted past them. Annoyed, DIO looked past Juri to see the approaching beast, and sighed to see another ridiculous, food-based abomination. Not displaying any further concern, he set one foot forward and waited for the starchy beast to come near. Mere milliseconds before the Hippotatomus would have trampled him, he lunged forward in an upward kick, sloppy in technique but terrifying in strength and speed, catching the animal beneath the jaw before hurling into the air, its head flopping around grotesquely. ”The World,” he coldly intoned, his face severe, and with a flash his Stand appeared. Of course, it wouldn't be visible to anyone else around here, but that did not hamper its effectiveness. ”Muda, muda, muda, muda!” he scorned, as The World unleashed a hail of upward blows into the airborne beast, punching out sections of potato and cheese with each vicious strike. Then, DIO held his arms out to the side, opened his palms, and clapped his hands together at great speed. Overhead, The World imitated the move, and the Hippotatomus exploded into a deluge of mashed potato that coated the cracker sidewalk and Oreo road like snow.

Of course, to Juri, Clementine, and any onlookers, it would have appeared that he'd destroyed the animal with telekinesis or some similar trick. DIO tilted his head toward Juri as his Stand disappeared, smiling again, and said, ”But isn't this a charming distraction? Such a pity that the other wretched creature is now alone. It would only be fitting if you reunited it with its friend, don't you think?”

Me after reading this:

@Guess Who

Yuck, that tasted worse coming up. I'll post this evening.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

@Raineh Daze Words cannot describe how happy I am to see my favorite magical girl in this thing. Accepted!~

Also glad to see everyone's having fun with Level Ate. Warms my heart it does. Do be wary though, for it is a world where the natural order can be reversed at any time and food fight is taken rather literally... huhuhu... :V

@Grey Star

Like with the Tacodile!
