The Future of Legaia - Official Thread

[Redhollowlives999]

All of it.


Except the Elena being all over Red.... Even BAMF's need to eat....

[deadly virus]

Red gets drunk and says F--k it and falls off the tower again

[Zup]

"Get to the roof!" ordered Redhollow, grabbing a nearby chair to use against the Berserker, who was slowly ascending the tower. "Virus is up there! Tell him you're with me! Also: get that Vera off his back!"

"Right!" said Elena, saluting. Wendy grabbed her on the wrist.

"Elena! You're just gonna do what he says? Just like that?"

The Theeder-wielding girl tilted her head, confused. "I...guess so. Why not?"

"Because-"

"WENDY! THERE ARE BIGGER ISSUES AT HAND!" Elena barked, causing Wendy to jump. Elena then giggled and grabbed Wendy's arm, taking her to the roof. "C'mon!"

Redhollow smiled to himself when he was sure the two had left. He was starting to like that Elena chick. She was pretty cu-

His thoughts were interrupted as the Berserker swiped against the side of the tower, crashing the glass windows on the floors below him. He carried the chair and looked over the edge, outside the broken window. "Hey! Berserker!"

The Super Cyber Seru couldn't actually understand what the ninja was saying, and so it paid no mind at his yell. This only irritated Redhollow, who then hurled the chair down at the Berserker, and that caught its attention. It shrieked towards Redhollow, a thick gas spurting.

The ninja leaped back into the tower, avoiding the gas. He didn't exactly know what it did, but he knew it couldn't be good...

* * *

Uthma pumped his arms and legs faster and faster, hopping to the side a few times to avoid Sise-Neg's energy waves.

"Coward!"

Oh man this is bad...This is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad...

"Uth...ma..." mumbled Ian, just a few yards ahead. He was struggling to reach is hand out. "H-h-heeeelp..."

Oh that's just great...Friggin conscience...

Uthma risked a glance over his should to see Sise-Neg slash the sword again, starting to run after the mercenary. He ducked down to evade the beam before returning his attention to Ian.

Oh man oh man oh man...Think...C'mon...Only got one chance to help him...If I miss it, Sise-Neg'll just kill him...But...if I can't do it in time...then I'll be...

* * *

"Mr. Viiiiiiiiiirus!" yelled Elena as she rammed into the door leading to the roof with her shoulder. She gazed at the perimeter of the roof, quickly locating the large shovel-wielder towards the right, clawing at the Vera on his back. "There he is!"

Wendy panted, patting Elena's shoulder. "W-w-where do you get all your energy?"

"That's what she said."

"Wait, what?"

Wendy didn't get her answer as Elena bolted to Mr. Virus, Rika encasing her palms. "Get off of him!" She roared, leaping onto the man's back.

"The the the the the are you doing?!?"

Elena said nothing as her electrified fists punched into the Vera at an incredible speed, quickly withering away at its strength. Within seconds, the Cyber Seru was defeated and it dropped off of Virus's back, falling to the floor, dead.

Virus dropped to his knees, finally feeling the effects of the energy draining. "You can get off my back now."

"Right. Sorry." Elena hopped off and dusted her palms, smiling as Wendy approached the two.

"Elena, c'mon."

"What?"

"The Berserker. It's still-"

"The what?" Elena asked, genuine confusion on her face.

Wendy sighed as she dragged the amnesiac girl to peer over the edge of the tower. "THAT."

"Ohhhhhhh," replied Elena, finger tapping her chin. "Oh, right! Hey is that-"

Redhollow twisted around the body of the Berserker, scythe in hand. He maneuvered his way to its back, hacking at it with his scythe. The Super Cyber Seru screeched with each blow, still ascending the Zalan Mafia Tower. It tried several times to shake Redhollow loose, but ultimately failed.

Wendy and Elena ran back, away from the edge of the tower as the Berserker finally made its way to the top. Redhollow stood up on its shoulders, raising his scythe high into the air. Unfortunately for the ninja, the Super Cyber Seru shook him off, forcing him to hit the ground.

"There you are," grumbled Mr. Virus, walking over to join Redhollow, Elena, and Wendy. "Making me do all this crap by myself."

Redhollow muttered curses under his breath as he stood up, dusting off his clothes. He turned to face the Berserker, scythe leaning on his shoulder. "You guys ready?"

Virus planted the tip of his shovel on the ground, nodding. Wendy drew her knives, exhaling. Elena punched her fists together, sparking some blue electricity. Redhollow had some odd, gut instinct that was completely foreign to him. He couldn't explain it, but he did it anyway.

He grabbed Elena by the waist with one arm, pecking her on the lips before releasing her and charging straight at the Berserker, scythe shining in the sun.

Huh...that was nice... the ninja reflected as the Berserker shrieked right in his face.

* * *

Uthma was now roughly ten seconds from Ian and twenty from the exit. Sise-Neg was chasing after him, preparing to swing more fatal electricity waves. He had to act now - help Ian, or leave him to die.

If he helped, there was a chance that Sise-Neg would be able to get in that killing blow. If he chose to go on, he'd have to live with the guilt of having left a vulnerable, wounded man behind...

------- UTHMA DECISION ---------
This is an open decision...Choose wisely...

[Redhollowlives999]

Uthma tries to distract Sise with anything, meanwhile he tries to buy himself time to figure out a better plan.


Maybe he could time his fire blast correctly so he can hit sise in the face, buying him time to grab Ian and run.

Which ever ram goes for is my vote.

[LegaiaWiki]

Uthma turns around and tries to negotiate with Sise-Neg, hoping to fake being his servant and gaining time to kill him when he's off guard.

[Rammerrush]

K distracts Sise while Uthma moves to Ian. He picks ian up and throws him over his zenoir sholder, using him as a makeshift human sheild while also carrying him to safety. K continues to do battle with Sise while Uthma makes it out safely. However when Uthma finally thinks he's safe he encoutners an army of Cyber Seru fighting with the army. And their starting to notice the new prey.

[Zup]

Uthma's time to decide was running out. He was closing the distance between himself and Ian, and he could hear the air behind him begin to crackle. Sise-Neg was readying another electric wave.

Okay...okay, you can do this...C'mon c'mon c'mon...

At the very last instant, K could see that Uthma was readying to assist Ian. He gritted his teeth. Kid's gonna get them both killed! He shook the thoughts from his head before deciding to step in, even if it was risking his life. He drew his sword and leaped forward, gaining enough momentum to land behind Uthma and Ian.

"K?!? What are you-?!?" Uthma asked as he grabbed Ian's arm.

"Just go!" yelled K before Sise-Neg's electric wave slammed into his sword. The blade was able to shave off some of the damage, but the impact ended up breaking his pinkies. "Go!"

Uthma nodded and lifted Ian over his shoulder, secretly intending to use him as protection of his Zenoir arm. He sprinted off, looking over his shoulder to see Sise-Neg and K73SK ready to duel...

* * *

Redhollow ducked underneath the Berserker's swing, slicing into the stalk-like appendage without doing too much damage. The Berserker shrieked at the ninja before ramming its head into his blocking scythe.

"C'mon! That all you got?!?"

"Tch," muttered Wendy. She shook Elena from her blushing daze. "Elena! Let's go!"

The amnesiac girl nodded and softly punched her fists together. "ATTAAAAAAAACK!"

Wendy sighed before rushing towards the Berserker as well.

* * *

Uthma escaped the cave with Ian over his back. He carried the man over to sit him against the wall. "You okay?"

Ian slowly blinked, head tilted to the side. "Y-yeah...I'll be...fine...But..."

Uthma raised an eyebrow. "But what?"

"B-b-behind you!"

The mercenary whipped around to come face to face with dozens of Cyber Seru, eyeing him up and down.

Oh great...

* * *

"Hm...You're Damien's rival, yes?" questioned Sise-Neg, rubbing his chin. "Well..were, I suppose." The lord of Ratayu chuckled.

K73SK tried to regain his composure, straightening his back. The pain in his hands was excruciating, and it certainly wasn't going to make fighting any easier. He refused, however, to show any weakness. Especially in such a dire situation. "Why are you doing this?" he questioned. "And why did you kill-?"

"You wouldn't understand," replied the lord of Ratayu. "With that false sense of...heroism in you. No...no, you would certainly fail to see the bigger picture." He held the Cyber Seru Sword before him, marveling at it. "Such a beautiful weapon, is it not?"

The Cyber Seru programmer didn't reply. He tightened the grip on his sword. "I want an answer."

"And I want you all dead," came the response. "You...Uthma...those girls...Redhollow...Virus...all of you. Dead and out of the way."

"Guess you're not getting what you want."

"Nor you."

Sise-Neg fired off two waves of electricity before dashing forward, readying his Chaos Breaker in the opposite hand. K73SK hopped to the side to avoid the first wave before slicing into the second. Again, the impact hurt his hands, even if the main damage was hacked away. Just as he finished feeling the jolt of the collision, he defended against Sise-Neg's flurry of dual sword swings.

Sise-Neg was forcing K73SK backward, leaving the Cyber Seru programmer with no openings. K knew he was the superior swordsman, but with his injured fingers, the Cyber Seru sword, and two weapons in his face, that advantage was more than made up for on Sise-Neg's end. He was diminished to nothing more than constant blocks and backward steps. He could sense Sise-Neg's attack slowing, but he also felt his arms tiring from the constant barrage.

"Coward! Why do you all flee?!?" Sise-Neg howled into the air in a laugh. He smashed his boot into K73SK's stomach, pushing the old man backward.

K73SK fell to his knees as the Chaos Breaker sliced him in the left side of the jaw, drawing blood from the thick gash. He swung his sword upward to protect himself from a second slash, but Sise-Neg's electric wave forced him to fall to his back, dropping the weapon entirely.

The lord of Ratayu stood over the fallen Cyber Seru programmer, a wicked smile on his face. "Ah...the best Cyber Seru programmer in all of Legaia...reduced to nothing more than a dying, feeble old man..."

K desperately tried to get to his feet, but he simply couldn't. The electricity had rendered him completely incapable of movement. His limbs were numb, and blood was filling his mouth.

"Fitting," said Sise-Neg as he slowly impaled K73SK with the Cyber Seru Sword. "I slew Damien...and now you..."

* * *

"Get back!" yelled Redhollow, backflipping to avoid the Berserker's poisonous gas breath. Unfortunately for Elena, she was too slow in her retreat. Her left arm instantly became purple, and it was practically useless.

"I...I can't feel my arm!" she yelled to Wendy.

Dammit! Redhollow thought to himself. How the the the the the are we gonna beat this thing...

------ REDHOLLOW DECISION -------
This is an open decision...Choose wisely...

[Redhollowlives999]

Tell Wendy and Elena to get out of there (to uthma or K7) while Red and a fully recovered DV go at beserker with a swagtastic combo.

[Zup]

Alright you 野菜 Cyber Seru, the mercenary thought to himself, exhaling and clenching his fists. Come and get it.

His Zenoir arm swiped in front of him back and forth multiple times, each one throwing out an electricity-coated fireball. As the Cyber Seru charged at the cornered mercenary, they were either pushed back or obliterated by the impact of the projectiles. Uthma kept it up, gritting his teeth as sweat started to dot his forehead. It was a tiring assault, but definitely the most effective.

The number of foes before him quickly began to drop, soon reaching the point that they scattered and fled, fearful they would be defeated (as they would). Uthma was incredibly thankful for this, as he had no more energy left inside him. He fell to the ground beside Ian, resting his head on the wall behind him.

This Zenoir arm ain't half bad...

* * *

Sir Z and Lady Ailee stormed through the enemy forces, cutting them down with grace and precision. To any onlookers with no devotion to either side, it would be a beautiful display of combat skill. They faced almost impossible odds, yet soared through the enemy ranks with absolute ease.

They felt no joy in slaughtering, however. No, their true goal was to make it to the top of the Zalan Mafia Tower in order to assist in the defeat of the Berserker.

The Hunters finally made it into the Tower, bursting in through the door. "Elevator's down," said Lady Ailee. Sir Z nodded and motioned for her to follow him, as he had quickly located the stairway.

* * *

"You two! Get outta here!" Redhollow ordered the girls. He blocked the Berserker's attack, but struggled to maintain his footing as the impact hit him. "Virus and I got this!"

Wendy nodded and grabbed Elena's wrist, but the amnesiac girl refused to move. "Elena! C'mon!"

"No! We have to help!"

Wendy sighed as Elena shot a few balls of lightning at the Berserker, eliciting more shrieks of pain. The Super Cyber Seru swiped Redhollow aside and stomped straight for Elena, lifting its head into the air.

"Watch out!" Redhollow yelled, getting to his feet as fast as he could.

The Berserker lowered its head to release its toxic fumes. Wendy and Elena tried to make a desperate scramble to avoid it, but they couldn't get out of the way fast enough.

Luckily for them, Mr. Virus threw in a well-timed shovel smash to the Berserker's skull, slamming its head into the ground.

Redhollow leaped into the air and chopped his scythe straight down, piercing the Berserker's torso. He tugged on the blade a bit, pulling it from the monster's body.

"Is it...is it dead?" the ninja asked, panting heavily. Mr. Virus shrugged. Wendy and Elena stared at the Super Cyber Seru. It hadn't budged an inch.

Sir Z and Lady Ailee charged through the door and arrived at the roof. Elena turned to greet them, smiling excitedly as she noticed Sir Z had found the Astral Sword, wielding it in his hand. Sir Z, however, recognized an immediate danger.

"Get over here! Now!"

"What the the the the the is he-?" Redhollow muttered to himself, replacing his scythe on his back.

The answer came as an interruption. The Berserker suddenly jumped back to a standing position, swiping its long arm in front of it to strike Elena, Wendy, Mr. Virus, and Redhollow, throwing them back - save for Elena, who had become tangled in the Super Cyber Seru's arm, trapped and unable to escape.

At the same time, the ground beneath them shook, and the pillars of earth began to rise once again...

Only they weren't made of rock. They were made of the roof itself.

The tower began to collapse, everyone on the roof was doomed to fall right through the tower, likely to their deaths.

"Dammit!" yelled Sir Z. He gripped the Astral Sword in both hands, and said to Lady Ailee, "Get Elena and Wendy! They're less likely to survive the fall!"

"Wait! What about you?"

Sir Z didn't answer as he made a mad dash at the Berserker, readying the Astral Sword above his head. He leaped into the air, slashing the Berserker on the shoulder, severing the appendage that Elena was tangled in. She landed on the crumbling roof, eyes wide in fear as she witnessed the fall of not only the beast, but the Hunter as well.

* * *

"Ian...c'mon...We gotta get outta here," Uthma said to his companion. He lifted the wounded man to his feet, assisting him in walking.

"Thanks for...helping me back there."

The mercenary shook his head, panting. "Forget it."

"Your friend's been in there for awhile..." Ian commented. "You...think he-?"

Uthma scowled. "Don't...don't talk about it. I'm sure he's fine..."

But Uthma was not actually sure. In fact, he had a gnawing, painful feeling in the pit of his stomach that K73SK had not found success at facing Sise-Neg. He felt that K might have...

Uthma shook the thoughts from his head, struggling to not shed a tear. He didn't want to even think about any of that now. He looked up as Ian stopped, confused. "Why did you stop?"

Then Uthma saw it. Thousands of Cyber Seru, Drake army, Hunter, and Zalan Mafia bodies were strewn across the battlefield. No more than a hundred of the fighters were still alive, but they were no longer fighting each other. No...they appeared to be fleeing the scene entirely.

Wait...what's going on?

Uthma then looked up to the top of the Zalan Mafia Tower. He felt a lump in his throat as he saw the top floors beginning to crumble. What the the the the the? Not long after, he thought he saw the towering head of the Berserker...and Sir Z cutting its arm off, sending it and himself flying over the edge of the tower.

No!

Uthma shut his eyes as the Super Cyber Seru and the Hunter collided with the ground. He didn't dare look at the sight. At that point, he wanted to just drop to the ground and surrender. It all seemed like too much. K73SK...Sise-Neg...and now Sir Z...

------- UTHMA DECISION -------
A) Take Ian to safety, leaving the battlefield far behind
B) Go back and face Sise-Neg, even if it means certain death
C) Head into the tower immediately. They need your help
D) This is an open decision...Choose wisely...

[Redhollowlives999]

D)
Get one of the hunters to take Ian and get a few to find K7
Then go check on the Hunter and those other goobers
