DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Arrant]

Arrant slid his backpack off his back, pulling out his guns and sliding an AP clip in each, holstering them and making sure his spare ammo was filled before pulling his rifle out again and slinging it on his shoulder. "Okay okay, where do I have to go?"

[Armalite_]

Spike woke up in his cell and sat up. He looked around and snorted his nose. "Ugh, damn parties." He stood up and looked int he mirror. The entire right half of his body was strewn with fur exploding in all directions from lying on it for so long. He groaned and fixed his eye patch. He grabbed his tooth brush and began to brush his teeth and brush his fur to a semi-decent appearance at the same time. He spat into the toilet and took a leak. He zipped up his pants and turned around. He raised his eyebrows at the new suit of armor that had been delivered into his cell and had been slowly collecting dust at the foot of his bed next to his MG3. He reached up to the armor's shoulders and removed the helmet and taking a look at it. A note had fallen out from the inside. It read. "I love the show you put on. I thought you might like this. Love ya, Killmeister.  - Dusty D." Spike took a moment to think. "Killmeister? Huh...not bad, Dusty." He loved gifts from his crazed fans. He tossed the note on his bed and looked at the helmet. Spike noted the new nano technology the suit contained allowing it to camoflage itself to any terrain as well as withstand large amounts of heat and shrapnel.

Spike had some trouble picking the suit up and putting it on but it fit great with room for his tail. Once he put it on he looked in the mirror only to see his head floating in mid air. The nano features would need some getting used to. Spike thought devilishly about using the armor's feature for the women's locker room but decided that fun would be saved for later. He picked up his helmet and put it over his head, locking it in place. The visor in front of his eyes displayed his room in several different views. Thermal, UV, and night vision. It took him a while to find the normal vision...that was displayed in HD. "Nice...this has better picture than reality." He laughed. He loved the new suit and picked up his weapon before heading out of his cell.

Blaire sighed. "Well I am involved, so keep your distance. Promise me you will." She looked at him, severity in her eyes. They did not shift from side to side, as though they were staring right through him. She pursed her lips. Blaire then let out a sigh and relaxed. "I mean it Chrono. If you get hurt, then I have to get hostile towards someone who has been avoiding it. And I won't have much reason to fight. You must keep your temper."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono wasn't even fased, or at least didn't look like he did. "I'll keep my temper, just remember that I can't keep as a low a profile as you can." He walked over to the door, and flipped on the monitor, seeing nobody outside. "Seriously... give me the armor if you won't use it... I need an eye and ear outside, so you won't have to keep your mind open."

[Shenzii]

Blaire looked at him as though he just spat on her. She felt as if he didn't need or want her as much. She straightened her face and nodded. "Fine, then I'll leave you. Here is the armor." She jumped and quickly returned with the armor. "I will be of no bother." She walked out the door, the link severed.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono sighed, and went to make a 'golem' out of her armor by filling it with his flames, then adding extra 'armor' to fill in spots where her armor would show skin. He made two 'eyes' of blue fire, that quickly changed into parodys of regular eyes. "Patrol the area, alert me if Sasha comes near, but don't make it obvious" The golem nodded and walked out the door to follow its orders. Chrono closed the door and went over to a small recorder with 'Note-to-self' written on it. "Next time Chrono, don't be so blunt..." he turned off the recorder and went to sleep, his dreams only making his fears more profound.

[Shenzii]

Blaire, now frustrated, stormed down the hall. She began to run, heading to her room. Before she got there, she noticed Y. She quickly stopped and hid behind a corner, hoping he hadn't seen or heard her.



She then drew in a long breath and sighed. Blaire slid down the wall and held her face in her hands. "What am I to do?" she asked herself in a low tone.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

The golem ended up doing a 180 when it saw Sasha heading back from, judging from direction alone, the training room on the east wing. It had turned away early enough to be unnoticable, but it moved rather quickly towards Chrono's room to alert him before walking past Akayla and getting out of sight.

[Entaru]

Y turned his head as he thought he heard something, and saw the golem going by.  "What the...?  Hmph!  Magic..."  He walked away from the others and sat down against the wall.  Little did he know that Blaire was right around the corner and that it was her he heard, not the golem.

Letting out a metallic sigh he began to speak to himself.  "What are you doing Y?  She's an organic and you HATE organics.  She is just like them, but...its happening again.  The same pattern of emotion is going through its stages.  What if it completes itself again?  Do you really want to go through that again?  She will never see you that way, Y.  No organic ever will..."  Y curled his legs up into a fetal position and rested his head on his knees.

[Shenzii]

Blaire crawled around the corner unaware of the guest occupying the area. She bumped him with a thud. She looked at him with wide eyes. "Sorry..." She calmed down and sighed.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono shot up in his bead, and bolted out the room, but since he couldn't find Blaire, he started running all over the place. Sadly, the golem's alert for Sasha did not register to him. But it was far too late as he collided right into her, and knocked her down before hitting the floor face-first. In seconds he was regaining consiousness and noticing that Sasha was getting up and eyeing Chrono. He rolled away and kept running down the hall.

It was probably another fear-induced dream, but it felt real to him: Blaire was talking with Entaru, which Chrono would understand considering his questioning earlier and how he treated her recently, but as she finished speaking with him, she went to the Arena and was watching the match when two guards walked up to her with guns drawn. She was about to 'jump' to the other side of the ring when she noticed someone was holding her neck, and it was ring of white fire around her neck. Hera lifted her off the ground, and created a sword of white flame, thanking the guards for getting her attention before ramming it through and sorching her from the inside out.

He may not be on good terms with her at the moment, but they would still consider her 'unclean', and Hera's sword would 'purify' her existance away. I don't care if she wants another, I'll die a thousand times before I let those Crusaders even touch her! was all that passed through his head as he sharply turned corners, going through all the commonly traveled areas before going to the less populated.

[Shenzii]

Blaire's mind opened, links connecting to anyone and everyone. Chrono?

[Chrono Blackwyng]

In essence, her attempt was like calling someone by phone, but nobody ever picks up the reciever. Ironically, Chrono's own fears made it impossible for him to even 'hear' Blaire. So an automatic response was fashioned together from earlier events. The one you are trying to contact, is currently busy, when he finds the person he is looking for, he will contact you as soon as possible or convenient for him...

(Its amazing how you open your mind the moment he 'speaks', like answering the freaking phone, sadly, that doesn't work both ways )

[Entaru]

Y jolted as Blaire ran into him.  "Wha?...Blaire?!"  Y felt terrible all of a sudden, like something rotten had dropped into the pit of his non-existent stomach.  He was glad he didn't have a mouth as he looked at her, shocked.  If he did have one, it would be opening and closing like a fish out of water. 

"H-how much did you..." Suddenly his expression changed from shocked embarassment to sheer confusion "...Wait...why were you crawling around the corner on your hands and knees?"

[Shenzii]

"Uh, well, Chrono... I lost something." She looked at him, her ears back. "I... didn't hear anything." Her voice dropped. She looked away, then back at him. Her voice carried softly as she continued. "I'm sorry for bumping into you."
