A Hero Tale {Complete}

Jeff began to float as the arena shook in order to stop it from throwing off his balance before downright ignoring Rajaka's series of nopes and continuing his responses back to Bruce. "None, I've been preparing for this for a while. Greenie over there is most likely gonna be a problem for both of us however so we really need to avoid being reckless. But yeah, we've gone too far to fail here. Let's clear this stage and continue onward!" The Sage then grinned back before letting his eyes and hair flash blue as regular sage mode activated.

The wind sage stood there for a moment in shock as he stood face to face to the man that single handily sent his life into utter chaos by turning his home town into less then rubble. "Y..Youu... I was preparing myself to face you again, but I wasn't expecting it to happen like this..." The sage finally spoke before turning to Bruce to respond to him quietly. "No, dimensional travel has sadly been one of the few things I've mostly been unable to dwell much into. Our best bet here is that beating them will free us, or to wait for an opening of them to open a way back. Think we can take them both?"

Jeff sighed as he had hoped to get through to Mikey just a little bit, but knew he most likely wasn't going to be able to. "Yeah, I can do that. Given yeah, promise you'll think about what I said just a little bit. I know I don't usually make too much sense to people, but I hope it makes at least made a little."

The sage then walked off to leave Mikey too his own thoughts. To be fair his question made him ponder a bit himself as it really did feel unreal how each and one of them had come to this situation and if they really still were themselves, but overall Jeff wouldn't let it stop him anymore. He had enough with doubts and was gonna do everything in his power to look past it. Jeff only hoped that Mikey would be able to as well.

"Well if you put it that way, perhaps we all are fake." Jeff said doing his best to laugh the idea off but soon stopped and once again resumed a serious tone. "If anything I just put it as you've grown and matured. We all have. People change and grow older and along with it personalities and skills change, get better or grow worse depending on the situation. Us people, that's our true power. We adapt and grow stronger day by day, surpassing our old limits and changing in order to meet the challenges that lie ahead of us. If anything, the fact we are able to do that is the main reason I believe that we'll be able to win this. To prove to those masked jerks that were not a joke and a force that will surpass them. That's our legacy."

The Sage glowed blue with power as he gripped his hand tightly staring at the ceiling. "I mean look at me, I use to be a small child from a smaller village whose idea of technology was a hand basket to hold apples in. And look at me now, developing crazy gadgets that are gonna hopefully put us on par with outer dimensional masked villains bent on destroying the planet. Does that even seem real in the slightest? Nah, but I'm still me. I'll always be me."

"Not youself?", Jeff asked again as he took a moment to put his hand up against his chin and ponder the question. "I guess that depends what you mean by that.. If were talking about things on the lines of mind control then no, not really. Bbuuuuuttt, there has been plenty of times I've had to keep an eye on my emotions to make sure they weren't getting the best of me and making me do things that really go against my morality yes. As a sage you kinda need to able to get past those feelings and being one whose been able to access the form I'm sure you have at least some insight on that. So have I ever gotten to the point where I've felt to not be myself, no... but have I come close? Several times..."
Once again the wind sage paused kinda worried even more so about Mikey now then he was the past couple of seconds ago.
"Why? What's making you feel not like yourself?"

After there little training session Jeff couldn't help but feel that this whole ordeal was finally starting to get to Mikey just as it had for him for sometime, and while part of the sage felt that perhaps all he needed was a little time to himself to think things through, his kind nature got the best of him and he found himself entering the room after Mikey wanting to do his best to make the water sage feel better.

"Hey Buddy, you holding up okay?" The inventor asked as if he already knew the answer, but still couldn't find any other way to approach the topic. "I know the last few days have been more then hectic, so I'm here to talk if you need to vent a little."

"Nah, it's fine...", Jeff said as he remained silent for a moment himself as he did his best to think of the right words. "Not like any of this is your fault, and besides I chose to join this city after mine got ransacked by Rajaka and I chose to be part of this fight too. To be fair, I think the stress of it all has been slowly getting to all of us for a while and I should probably take a little time to actually get a full night of rest instead of a random hour here and there between projects. As for the Sheira, well if anything I blame myself for that. I brought her into this mess, and my security for this place could still be better.. or at least it needs to be if things like this keep happening."

Jeff did his best to try and hold back his tears but overall he couldn't help, but let them slip. "After I lost my hometown to Rajaka, I told myself I wouldn't let them toy with lives like that ever again, yet here we are with them still just toying with us and taking the people we care about away. I'm.. I'm.. gonna keep getting stronger so I can keep my word on that and not let anyone else fall prey to them. That includes Dacer too.. I'll save him.."

"Thanks Mikey", the sage smirked finally feeling a tad more confident in himself. Perhaps finally all those endless nights of researching a practice were starting to pay off and he still wasn't done yet. "It is true though, that you really didn't give me many options on what I could have done to land a guaranteed hit there. You might not have our pure amounts of power, but your definitely up there with us. I'm still only able to reach that level of control by using the wind cannon, which to be fair can only do up to 2 shots at a time without recharge. I've been working on ways to minimize the time to charge it, but that's still in the works for now.. along with the final version of the wind cannon I've been trying to get functioning perfect."

Before Jeff's rambling could entirely take over he managed to catch himself on it and stopped before grinning once more. "Ya know, perhaps we'll be able to pull this whole thing off after all."

"Yeah, that sage form of yours is indeed very impressive" Jeff responded as he was amazed on just how far Mikey had come. "You really did manage to make me go full out, and the speed and focus of those attacks... I could barely dodge them.."
Jeff then proceeded to let his sage mode die off and he approached Mikey to make sure he was alright. "Given I think I might have gotten a tad carried away there with that last attack..." The sage said doing his best to laugh it off. "Sorry about that."

Jeff smirked at the sight of his plan seemingly working, but he wasn't gonna let it cause him to drop his guard. The sphere of nanobots that lied on the ground once more started glowing as it prepared to let lose another flash of light in order to keep Mikey incapacitated as the real Jeff's gauntlet finished charge and compressing air and fired a blast out of it. Unlike Jeff's regular wind cannon attack however this one seemed much different. For one it was much smaller in size, the size of pebble, and glowed a bright blue as it whistled through the air, traveling a speed that was even faster then the water spears Mikey was throwing off at Jeff just moments ago. Jeff had aimed it to pierce through Mikey's shoulder and with the speed and power it possessed, it would mostly likely keep going, piercing through the wall of the arena and any wall past it for at least another couple yards.

"Behold one of my Ult Wind Guardian Techs..."

"WIND CANNON! SNIPER'S SHOT!!"
