Damion's thread (I guess)

[FatalFate777]

Snowflakes drifted slowly downward. They were rather peaceful on their decent, covering the ground in a white carpet of soft but crunchy snow. The sun reflected brightly off of the white sheet covering the ground. Damion's longcoat blew in the wind, dancing in the crisp air as little swirls of white powder circled Damion's feet, clad in leather boots. Trees, all half bare, stood on either side of the trail and rose high into the air. The path wound through these trees and upward on an incline for quite some time. Eventually, the trees began to thin out, and the tall, lean elf reached the height where the trees wouldn't grow anymore. As the trail and the trees came to an abrut end, Damion came to an open flatland, which was cut off by a cliff. On the cliff were odd markings, runes if you will. As he approached, they glowed a bright, icey blue in the side of the cliff. As he stopped, Damion shook his head and blinked his eyes while his vision blurred and came back to normal, while he stood in the massive snowfield, alone.

As Damion examined the runes more closely, they began to glow brighter, before disintergrating, one-by-one. A large rumble is heard from behind him. Snow and ice falls from the cliff, and slides down the trail. Damion looks over his shoulder. He lets out a sigh of relief as he realized the minor avalanche was not directed towards him. As he turns back to the cliff to examine it again, he sees the cliff had been replaced by a large red glow, surrounded by a strange metal. The red glow locked on to Damion, and followed his every movement.

[FatalFate777]

His head tilted as Damion looked closely at the red glow. Again, his vision began to blur, then moved back to normal. He put a hand to his head, rubbing his fingers through his hair and blinking his eyes. He felt a pulse of energy come from the massive structure, although he saw nothing. He plucked the Omega blade from its scabbard swiftly and held it at the ready. Squinting all around him, he could see nothing but the massive, monolithic structure in front of him, and the reflection of the white snow in the air. He gripped the hilt of the Omega Blade tightly as he scanned the area. Although he could feel the presence of someone or something, it was nowhere to be found. Only that monolithic thing and he could be seen.

[Vegeta]

Damion examined the glowing, metallic object closer, and realized the the glow came from a large piece of glass embedded within the metal. Damion is quite curious now. He taps the glass with the tip of his sword, checking its toughness. It seems fairly thick.

DAMION: "Hm..."

A gust of hot air pours from the sides of the supposed Monolith, melting some of the snow.

A creaking sound is heard coming from it, and snow begins to fall from it now. The Monolith is growing considerably taller now, and it appears to not be a Monolith. The only thing visible now is a large caliber weapon of unknown origins, pointed directly at Damion's face. It is one of six barrels attached to the same weapon.

[FatalFate777]

For a moment, Damion was too taken aback to react. He simply shifted backwards on his heels, sweat instantly forming on his brow. What the hell is this thing? The snow began to crunch very slightly underneath his boots, and Damion decided that it was definately time to move, and fast. He had to think while moving, or he'd definately be caught in a crossfire. (The arrangement of the barrels was never specified, so I am assuming their positions.) The barrel in pointed at Damion was the lowest of six, which were arranged in a circular fashion. He knew this thing could be trouble, so he was already casting his first spell before he was moving. As he was leaping backward, he was chanting in Elvin underneath his breath. His leap took him back about twenty yards, and lifted him as high as the the center of the barrels. He skid backward as he landed, and held his sword in the defensive as a black aura began to form around him...

[Vegeta]

The montrosity has a label attached to its massive shell.

WEAPON-XR55

It is one of the WEAPONs of Gaeasei's past.

((OOC: This will not count as one of the 12 WEAPONs useable in Quest mode.))

The WEAPONs large head focuses its cameras and motion sensors on Damion. A thin laser pointer emits from the machines skull.

WEAPON: "Target Locked. Preparing to fire auxilary cannons."

The 6-barreled multi-fire cannon locks on to Damion.

[FatalFate777]

Damion looked down to his chest to find a red dot on the center of his breastbone. Looking back up, Damion stood straight up, stiff as a board, and his image began to blur, eventually becoming very hard to discern where it was. The black aura burned around Damion's body as he began to sway and move very unpredictably. Suddenly, Damion planted his foot and launched himself towards the massive weapon. As Damion's physical body dropped to the ground and ran to a position behind the weapon, an illusion was left catching the motion sensors of the weapon. The black aura still burned around the illusion, and Damion pulled the energy in the illusion towards the center of the weapon. The illusion was packed with dangerously violent dark energy. If it were fired upon, it would explode, catching the weapon in a dark blast.

[Vegeta]

The WEAPON prepares t fire on the illusion, then stops.

WEAPON: "Lack of physical matter detected. Reconfiguring..... "

A secondary camera extends from the top of the WEAPON's skull.

WEAPON: "Reconfiguration complete. Physical matter located."

The WEAPON turns its body entirely to face Damion, using small verniers to increase its turning speed.

WEAPON: "Confirmed physical matter. Main Cannons preparing for discharge."

The main cannons in the center of the WEAPON begin to glow. Shortly after the main cannons begins to fire a barrage of non-elemental energy bolts.

[FatalFate777]

DAMION: ".....crap."

As the non-elemental bolts came towards him, Damion had to run at twice the speed needed to escape the bolts alone, simply because of the explosions given off by the bolts. Snow began to tumble off of massive mountains, and Damion began to dodge and weave at these incredible speeds. When the firing finally stopped, Damion skid himself to a halt as well. May the black winds empower this spell, sending their foes to their death. May the black winds howl a cry of hell with the casting of this taker of breath. Black swirling energy threads began to spiral inward towards Damion, forming now in spirals around his right arm. He resheathed the Omega blade, seeing it was no use to him at the moment, and began to focus the spell into his palm. He remained light on his feet, just in case he had to move from the path of another attack.

[Vegeta]

Two pods release from the back of the WEAPON, and hover in mid-air.

WEAPON: "Initiate 'MERTON' sequence."

WEAPON's pods begin to heat up, and prepare to release the forbidden "Fire" spell, MERTON.

WEAPON: "Efficient heat level attained. Execute protocol 'MERTON'."

WEAPON uses MERTON on Damion.

[FatalFate777]

A blaze of flame shot down towards Damion. He ran to his left, eventually circling the massive weapon. The extreme heat gave him minor burns on his right arm, and made the terrain slippery to the step. However, being elven let Damion keep his balance easier than normal. Sliding at the far left of the weapon, he shook his head. The power and intensity of the spell had delayed the casting of Damion's spell, so he stood in his place, sweating intensely at the moment, and continued the incantation, the black energy around him becoming more fierce by the moment.

[Vegeta]

The massive machine turns to face Damion.

WEAPON: "Protocol #7 initiated."

A thermal energy sword flares out from the base of the WEAPON's massive hand.

The WEAPON swings the sword at Damion wildly with uncalculated attacks, mixing the horizontal and vertical slashes. The attack pattern is unfocused and unpredictable.
