NytefallThe Fireen had in fact made it only part of the way to his opponent before he was stopped, though to his eyes the interruption was a blessing in disguise. He watched the large chunk of metal flying towards him with apparent disinterest, though swiftly he calculated that the strength required for such a feat was far beyond his own physical capabilities right then. Surprisingly, it was also significantly above what he had believed his opponent capable of as well, though the briefing had been a little sketchy.
The large chunk of metal hurtled towards him, covering the significant distance with speed, and all the while he closed on it with energy burning in his hands. At the last moment he sent a jolt of his own shield forward, with some difficulty, and slowed its progress while pushing off it, sending him flying backwards at a comparative speed to it. Still, to the hero’s far away gaze it should seem as if the metal had collided with Fury, and for a moment that was all he could summarise.
Until suddenly two blazing blue discs cut through the metallic object and hurtled straight at the hero, benefiting from their extra moments of power in terms of sheer speed. They arced past each other in the air, approaching from either side to make it particular difficult for the hero of earth to escape his fate, that of being sliced to pieces by blazing energy.
Fury himself flew up and over the sheared metal, actually using it to boost forward like a swimmer bouncing off the wall of a pool. He wasn’t holding back on his speed now, ramping up to a cool 200mph as he sped straight forward towards his foe. Though this time he dipped up and down, making no easy target for projectile fire as he rapidly approached the General.

The Weeper had far less time than he would have wanted to lament the pain he had caused the young man before he found himself in a ruthlessly precarious position. Despite the bullets striking true at least twice Mikael was hardly slowed as he barrelled towards the swordsman, albeit zigzagging, and so the masked man was forced to retreat a step and lower his pistol, useless at such a range.
As he skipped backwards and settled low, almost crouching on his back left leg, he swung his blade across from right to left in a vicious horizontal cut, which would hopefully make contact with his foe’s rapidly approaching hips or lower torso before he could bear down on him with his energy ball.
If the shortsword was insufficient in at least clearing space, let alone levelling the charge, then the Weeper would have no choice but to take whatever attack his foe had in store with such a close range approach on him. Though if he had simply tried to launch his projectile The Weeper wouldn’t be standing still for it, that much was certain.

Alright. The Weeper's self imposed requirement to finish any fight with his sword should even up any advantage I gained from your small mistake anyway.
It had been Fury’s intention to make any assault on him more difficult as he floated far below the hero, and his stratagem proved near immediately effective as he neatly swooped to one side, far slower than the projectile but for the fair distance it had to travel to reach him. Even so, the strange attacked burned against his shielding, showing that even from distance it had some impressive power behind it. The Fireen shrugged internally, and looked down at the crater below.
“Destructive.” He remarked drily, hovering higher to keep track of the hero as he landed on the roof of a fairly small building. The Fireen zipped over to him, showing incredibly impressive control of his energy manipulation, considering the actual concepts of flying using kinetic energy alone. His unusual pairing with the Void gave him such ability, a fact not lost on him as he sensed its ever increasing desire to drain the hero of his credible supply of power.
“Shutup.” He told it, aloud for some reason, as he approached the roof, incredibly cautious for any attack launched on his person. Provided he made it within one hundred feet unmolested he would have the opportunity to make his own move. All the while he had been flying he was also pretty incredibly multi-tasking the formation of two blazing blue energy discs, one in either hand. Due to not particularly needing to fly all that fast he was semi-standing in the air, his palms down to either side of his body, allowing them to grow to their maximum size.
He watched the hero upon the roof, and then gave a small nod as he flicked his right hand forward and launched the controllable projectile like a discus. The second remained blazing in his hand, condensing and growing with his considerable stores of power. It flew through the air quickly, though not so fast as the hero's own power, he could avoid it in terms of sheer speed, but it was Fury's ability to move it in mid-air that he relied upon as he sent it dead centre at the hero.

Just a question, how did your character managed to manifest an energy ball twice as powerful as the last one given a fraction of the time?
My understanding of events are The Weeper and Mikael are similarly displaced by the close proximity energy ball erupting to prevent the sword strike, both fall to their feet and regained their composure within pretty similar spaces of time (Weeper is a similarly agile opponent to Mikael in terms of dexterity.) This would then leave Mikael the time it took said same fast character to pull a pistol from his cloak and fire three shots to make his energy ball, which to my understanding would be similar (if shorter) a space of time than The Weeper's dash forward in interruption last time.
I'm just curious, because if your character can essentially create a near impenetrable defence to my character in that fraction of time then there isn't going to be much of a fight, it's already proven effective at stopping the sword, and now bullets.

I was with the emphasis on was reading Perfume, the story of a murderer by Patrick Süskind. I've seen the movie so there are little to no spoilers for me. Has anyone read/seen it?
My friend gave me a summary of it, it sounded like quite possibly the weirdest plot for a book ever devised.

Sorry for the long wait Melon, had a few priorities to juggle.
No problem.

Ironic drunkenness - how did it work out for you Melonhead, when you woke up this morning to see/edit what you wrote? Good to see Chiudka as well Mokley - thank heaven for that blessed notion of common sense and practicality to the ladies of Adishi!
Not too bad, I write surprisingly well while intoxicated. I even managed to remember to heed Lillian's advice about plot momentum and threw in something I hoped would get things going.

And here you go again, throwing a fit without telling us the reason you do so. If you aren't going to provide any arguments at all, then why even post?
I prescribe to the Russel Brand ideology.
