[b]A mysterious figure wonders through the dojo. He talks to no one and looks at no one. He is in full body armor that clings to his body like a second skin, and has a tail (also armored) some spines on his back, and a long snout. He is 10 feet tall, and is very muscular. The metal glows cyan in the light of the moon. He carries a huge sword on his back, a large rifle as well, two pistols holstered on either side of him, and a couple of grenades.[/b]

[b]A man in robes stops him. [/b] "Hey... who are you?"
-
[b]The figure stops.[/b] " I am Destinatus, the leader of the 200th battalion of the Exuro army."
-
*Sketch steps in front of him.* "Um, who are you? I noticed your tail... Do you know of a planet called Sphirinia? In another dimension?"
-
[b]The figure stops.[/b] "I think I have heard of it. I am Destinatus, the leader of the 200th battalion of the Exuro army."
-
"The leader of whatnow?"
-
"Just imagine a large assembly of soldiers wearing armor similar to mine, trained for over a century in the art of warfare."
-
"Well, we don't even live past fifty years, but we have- or, [i]had[/i] soldiers kind of like that. They're called [i]brawlers.[/i]"
-
"I strongly doubt that [i]brawlers[/i] would prove very efficient against wave upon wave of highly trained Crotation Warriors."
-
"I don't know... I know one who was hit by three airplanes in one battle and she kept fighting."
-
"That seems quite impressive. The only thing is that a Crotation warrior would shoot the plane out of the sky before it hit them, are maybe cut through it with there sword."
-
"Well, most brawlers use nothing but their fists... It's hard to fit stuff inside armor that's meant to be both extremely strong and increase the wearer's speed, agility and strength."
-
"So, they were performance enhancing armor?"
-
"Yeah. When I left we were working on prototype attachable weapons and such."
-
"Ah, that is cool. Our soldiers take performance enhancing supplements and sometimes get them added on or into their bodies. This makes the armor smaller and tougher."
-
"Performance enhancing? God no... Drugs are outlawed on Sphirinia. We recognized the great dangers of having any type of drug and instead use technology. There is a single device that can heal almost any wound, fix physical birth defects, flush a someone's body of all toxins and cure any disease as well as kill any bad bacteria all at once."
-
"It doesn't have any negative side effects unless used improperly. Also, we also use these metal things that go inside your body and make you stronger and stuff. They are a bit more expensive, but they are much more powerful."
-
"Well, the brawler I know is already freakishly strong... I mean, she could pick me up and throw me about thirty feet without even wearing her exo-suit."
-
"Hmm, how much do you weigh?"
-
"A hundred pounds? Maybe ninety? I'm only five feet tall after all."
-
"Then one could easily through you about eighty feet. Maybe not from the lesser battalions, but definitely from my battalion. Out biggest enemies are 3,000 pounds of pure death, and we still manage to beat them in almost every battle."
-
"Hmm... Interesting..."
-
"Yes. By the way, do you happen to know where a village named Extros is?"
-
"No, I'm afraid I don't, sorry."
-
"Darn it, I have to find it."
-
"Well, sorry I couldn't help you. I will ask, what do you look like under your helmet? Sphirinian or not, I know very few other people who actually have a tail and a snout."
