[You arrive at the church. It's surrounded by a cemetary, which is in turn surrounded by a gate, which has been left ajar (though you could likely jump it anyhow). It's raining pretty heavily outside with occasional flashes of lightning] ( I'll just factor in their transportation time after they go about doing it :P ) * Hikaru whips through the gate and looks around. [Directly in front of the church's gates, you make out a figure in a dark cloak] *** SecretKirby is now known as Figure HEY!! You! Where's Vicki?! * Figure looks up, speaking in a deep voice. "Only one? They must not care about her very much." * Hikaru shifts into his youkai form. * Hikaru snarls. "I'm just faster."

Hmph. Well, this might just work out for the best anyhow. * Hikaru stalks towards the figure. * Figure doesn't move. Where. Is. She.

Angry? Good. You should be. Answer the question.

Why? What will you do if I don't? I'll tear you to shreds. * Hikaru extends his claws. * Figure laughs. "Will you? That's perfect." What the hell have you done with Vicki?! * Figure spreads his arms wide. "Go ahead. Tear my flesh from my bones!" * Hikaru snarls and dashes at the guy, claws pulled back to strike. * Figure simply stands there in his position and laughs, making no move to dodge. * Hikaru slashes at his chest. [No sooner do Hikaru's claws cut the robe than it goes limp and falls the the floor in a lump.] * Hikaru growls. * Hikaru stomps on the robe, a la Vader, just to make sure.

[Laughter echoes around the area.]

Just one, yes, but you may be enough on your own! Dammit, COME OUT AND FIGHT! * Hikaru storms into the church.

[The doors slam shut as Hikaru approaches. The figure appears again behind him.]

Not so fast. It's not that simple. What the fuck do you want, anyway?

What do I want? Make it to the roof and I'll tell you. [Incidently, the church is a bit too high for you to jump to the top] * Hikaru snarls and lunges again. * Figure fades out of existance just before Hikaru gets there. "You'll get your chance. But first, there's some old friends who would like to see you." Friends? Feh. *** Kirby2 has joined #Kirby * Hikaru looks for stairs. [Two figures appear around either side of the church, both wielding swords] [In a flash of lighting, you see their faces.] *** Figure is now known as Calvin *** Kirby2 is now known as Andrew Huh. You the real deal, back from the dead like Kojiro? [They respond by falling into battle stances.] * Hikaru crouches. [21:57] * Logging #Kirby to 'logs\#kirby.log' [21:58] ( Roll init in the channel ) [21:58] ( Hopefully the others will get here before it's too late :P ) [21:59] ( Ard just asked. You logging? ) [21:59] ( Yeah ) [22:00] [Hikaru, Andrew, Calvin] [22:00] I don't care who you look like! Outta my way! [22:00] * Hikaru swipes his claws, firing energy blades at Andrew. [22:01] [The blades bite into Andrew, cutting a good chunk out of his side] [22:02] [Andrew's turn] [22:02] * Hikaru smiles viciously. "Yeah, you don't know how to dodge, do you." [22:03] * Andrew rushes at Hikaru, slashing with his twin blades. He misses with the first attack, but catches Hikaru's leg with the second] [22:03] * Hikaru snarls. [22:04] ( Can we pause for a bit? I gotta do dishes. -_-;; ) [22:04] * Calvin wastes no time in bringing about his own attack. Fortunately, Hikaru bounds out of the way in time. [22:04] ( Sure ) [22:07] ( Lemme know when you're back. ) [22:08] ( Back. ) [22:08] ( Unpause ) [22:08] [Hikaru's turn] [22:08] * Hikaru leaps back, and tosses more of his claws at Andrew. [22:09] [The claws miss Andrew by a sliver.] [22:09] Dammit. [22:09] [Andrew's turn] [22:10] * Andrew rushes at Hikaru, but stops quickly, backing off in fear as a large stream of fire strikes the ground in front of him. [22:11] Huh? ...you! [22:11] *** Kirby is now known as Meifang [22:11] Hah! I knew if we followed you we'd come across something big! [22:12] ...just stay out of my way. [22:12] * Meifang rushes up, facing Andrew with her twin fans. Meanwhile, Leifang rushes at Calvin. [22:12] Look, we'll handle the grunts, ok? [22:12] You just hurry on in there. [22:12] ...thank you. [22:12] * Hikaru looks for the stairs. [22:13] [No stairs, but you can probably break the door if you hit it hard enough] [22:13] * Hikaru throws himself at the door. [22:14] [The neglected door shatters. Inside, a long haired man in ancient clothing stands before the altar.] [22:14] * Hikaru stalks towards the man. [22:15] *** Meifang is now known as Kojiro [22:15] You've come. [22:15] ...oh, you. [22:15] * Kojiro nods. "You'll find what you're looking for on the roof. But the door is locked." [22:15] And you have the key. [22:15] * Kojiro holds up a small iron key. "Defeat me, and I shall give you this." [22:16] Fine. [22:16] ( Roll init again ) [22:17] [Hikaru, Kojiro] [22:17] [Hikaru's turn] [22:18] * Hikaru growls and fires claws at Kojiro. [22:18] [The powerful attack rips into Kojiro, causing him to stagger back] [22:19] Ghh... Impressive. But now it is my turn. [22:19] * Hikaru smirks. "I've been getting a lot of practice since last time. You?" [22:20] * Kojiro charges forwards, draw-slashing at Hikaru. His attack cuts Hikaru cleanly across the side. [22:20] Urgh... [22:20] I exist for nothing more than to fight. [22:21] [Hikaru's turn] [22:22] * Hikaru backpedals, and throws another volley at Kojiro. [22:22] * Kojiro neatly sidesteps the attack, charging for Hikaru. [22:23] * Hikaru growls. [22:24] [Hikaru is struck on his arm] [22:24] Bastard. [22:25] Your move. [22:25] [Hikaru's move ^_^] [22:26] * Hikaru growls and fires yet more claws. [22:26] [This time the claws connect, causing Kojiro to stagger. But still he presses on] [22:27] [Kojiro's turn] [22:28] * Kojiro spins with the hit, bringing his sword around. Hikaru neatly ducks the attack, though. [22:28] [Hikaru's turn] [22:29] * Hikaru slashes at Kojiro with his regular claws. [22:29] * Kojiro catches the attack and smirks, bringing his blade arouns to slash at Hikaru. [22:30] * Kojiro cuts him once more on the stomach. [22:30] ( You're feeling pretty weak about now... ) [22:30] * Hikaru backs off, and fires more energy claws. [22:33] *** Andrew has left #Kirby [22:33] *** Calvin has left #Kirby [22:33] ( Just a moment... ^^; ) [22:33] *** Shigeru has joined #Kirby [22:34] (I feel so religious.) [22:34] *** Mei-Yin has joined #Kirby [22:34] [Inside, Kojiro and Hikaru are fighting. Woot. Hikaru, who looks badly beaten, just attacked with his energy claws, which have yet to hit because I'm so busy ;_;] [22:36] ( You guys roll init, too. Shig and Mei ) [22:36] d6+6 [22:36] (Meep. ^6;) [22:38] [Hikaru, Shigeru, Kojiro, Mei-Yin] [22:38] [Kojiro slides around Hikaru's claws.] [22:38] [Shig's turn] [22:39] * Shigeru frowns, concentrating on Kojiro and Hikaru. Thoughts/emotions? [22:39] * Hikaru snarls some more. [22:39] (Kojiro's got a sword, doesn't he?) [22:39] ( Yup ) [22:39] (*nods and plots*) [22:40] (Hikaru, answer the question. :P) [22:40] ( "NOT GOING DOWN!" and anger. Very much anger. ) [22:41] * Shigeru blanches slightly and edges around to get a better look at the fight. [22:47] [Kojiro misses. Mei-Yin's turn] [22:47] ( Uh... Shig had just taken his turn. ) [22:48] * Mei-Yin pulls out her videocamera and starts recording the duel. [22:49] [Hikaru's turn] [22:50] DIE ALREADY! [22:50] * Hikaru fires his blades. [22:50] (What condition does Kojiro look like he's in, by the way?) [22:50] ( After that? Not good. ) [22:50] (*nod*) [22:51] * Kojiro is struck with the blades, and looks very weakened. [22:51] Heh. [22:51] ( @_@ How many bloody HP does he HAVE? ) [22:51] N..Next blow... One of us wins. [22:51] ( Lots. ) [22:51] ( He has lotsa DH ) [22:53] [Shig's turn] [22:53] * Shigeru holds out his hand, ready to grab Kojiro's sword telekinetically. ~Want me to interfere?~ he thinks to Hikaru. [22:53] ~YES!~ [22:54] * Shigeru concentrates, attempting to disarm Kojiro. [22:54] ( Blargh. I forget how to do this. ) [22:55] ( Fudge it. ) [22:55] (Body roll + number of levels of telekinesis.) [22:55] (I *think*. Heck, I don't have the book on me.) [22:56] * Kojiro seems surprised, but manages to retain his hold on his weapon. "A dirty trick." [22:56] ( The possessor of the weapon gets a body roll at a +1 penalty for each level of TK. ) [22:56] * Shigeru drops his hand, not saying anything. [22:57] [Kojiro's turn] [22:57] You think I'm here for some honorable fight? [22:57] * Kojiro rushes at Shig. "Die in dishonor!" [22:58] * Kojiro cuts Shig across the chest. [22:58] [Mei-Yin's turn] [22:58] * Hikaru snarls. "You're fighting ME!" [22:58] Shigeru! [22:59] * Mei-Yin keeps filming, helpless to do much else. [22:59] * Shigeru staggers away, grabbing at his chest and gasping. [23:00] [Hikaru's turn] [23:00] * Hikaru fires yet more blades at Kojiro. "DIE!" [23:01] [The blades strike Kojiro square in the back, and he falls forwards into a kneeling position, stopping himself from falling flat with his sword. "Damn. To be defeated by such dishonourable cretains." [23:01] ] [23:02] And fighting for that bastard is honorable? You got what you deserved. [23:02] *** Miyu has joined #Kirby [23:02] * Shigeru looks dazedly at the blood on his hand. "Fuck your honor. Doesn't mean shit when you're doing it for the wrong reason." [23:02] ( Oi. ) [23:02] ( Private area. ) [23:02] ( Oh. Sorry. ) [23:02] *** Miyu has left #Kirby [23:02] There's no... dishonor in fighting for evil. [23:03] * Shigeru looks at Kojiro blankly. [23:03] It is simply another mindset. He... he gave me another chance. And I took it. [23:03] Give me the damn key. Or I finish you off. [23:03] My time... is up already. [23:03] There's more important things than honor. Sorry you never realized it, Kojiro. [23:04] But... When you get to hell... we shall duel again. [23:04] * Mei-Yin runs forward to Shigeru. [23:04] Dream on. [23:04] And when that time comes... No dirty trick will be able to save you. [23:04] A-are you okay? [23:04] I fight for a good purpose. I'm not going where you are. [23:04] * Mei-Yin starts examining the cut on Shigeru's chest. [23:04] * Kojiro ages at an amazing rate, turning to ash in a matter of seconds. [23:05] * Hikaru searches for the key in the ashes. [23:05] [Hikaru finds it. The sword remains, as well.] [23:05] *** Kojiro is now known as Kirby [23:05] * Shigeru blinks at the ash. "See you there, Kojiro." He suddenly feels rather weak and leans against the wall. [23:05] Thank you, Shigeru. [23:05] * Hikaru looks for the door. [23:06] Hikaru, don't go in alone. Chelsea and Eoi... they're outside, helpin' the wondercousins. [23:06] ( Ok, back into #besm )
