"I've had my experiences in battle. It would be upsetting if this armor was just for show." He slides his finger across the datapad.
English
-
"Oh yeah, that would be a bummer. No offence to anyone but a fight too weak is just as boring as a fight too powerful. You ready?" Aloysious crosses his arms awaiting Rhys.
-
"I'm ready." Rhys says as he takes two cylinders off of his waist, blades extending from their peaks.
-
"Good," he says, just standing there. "Uhhh... Nice blades you got there. Retractables are pretty good for CQC and infiltration, try not to block a full-on attack from anything too heavy. Might screw up your internals, and those are bitches to clean up. You gonna have at me or...?" He continued to stand there, talking non-stop. His arms remained folded with his fingers tapping restlessly against his own arms in an almost rhythmic pattern.

Edited by Old Man Kent: 12/10/2016 5:13:07 AM"I've worked out the kinks with these. They'll be fine." He says confidently. "I guess I'll strike first, though I don't usually like to." He takes both of his blades and slides them together in an 'X' formation - orange lightning begins to flow around them. No, not just the swords - but his armor too. He slams one foot on the ground, sliding it forward, releasing a wave of electricity at Al.
-
"Orange lightning? That's interesting." With two simultaneous finger movements, Rhys is suddenly brought down to the ground by... Something wrapping around his legs. At the same time a tree is seemingly [i]cut into two from the base[/i] and falls between Al and Rhys, stopping the spread of lightning due to the insulation of the wood. Of course the tree's bark is burnt and blackened after the entire ordeal. Around Rhys' legs are thousands, seemingly millions of dull ivory-white wires attached to his feet. They uncoiled, almost fading out of existence as they weaved themselves out into air. Or that's what it looked like at least. "Only fair to give you a taste of my own abilities. Monofilament SMART wire, an invention of my own making. With that lightning of yours I can't really make any traps out of them otherwise I'd be absolutely boned, so this will have to make due. Though its rather hard to see monomolecular wires when they're not superheated." For a moment Al toggles his superheat feature on his wires, creating dozens of thin white outlines dancing all around him before he shuts it off and they all disappear.
-
"Interesting design. Very different from what I've seen. I like it." Wings form from the back of his armor, lightning covering the vibranium "feathers". His thrusters ignite, lunging him into the air, his wings stabilizing him in order to stay in the air. He tightly grips his swords, awaiting for more wires.
-
"Eyes on the prize, Rhys!" The wires glow white once more, revealing them to be wrapped around a few trees surrounding Rhys. They slice through the bases of the wood, sending several wooden giants down upon Rhys. Lucien always taught Al to gauge the enemy before engaging personally, and so he would follow his late father's friend's advice.
-
As the trees fall, Rhys sends out a large dome of lightning around himself, destroying the trees - turning them into mere splinters. The lightning dome continues to move on throughout the trees, destroying a few around them, clearing out a space to fight.
-
"Well, there goes all my cover." Al extends his hands outwards and lifts one slightly up, creating a mesh-like tsunami of superheated white lifting from the wreckage of the tree splinters, burning through the wooden shrapnel. He sends the wave of wires crashing down atop Rhys as his other hand reaches into his jacket.
-
Rhys taps the pommel on both of his swords, turning them into bladed chains. He then falls to the ground, allowing heat to quickly build up on his armor. He releases it, hoping to rid of some of the wires. Then, as another safety precaution, he boosts forward with his thrusters, slashing horizontally at the wires. He then whips the superheated chains around, slicing at Al's chest.
-
The wires attacking Rhys were dispersed and knocked back, their superheated lines fading a bit. A curved Shotel blade appeared in his hand as he was slashed by one chain, holding the other bladed chain with his other hand which was coated in a thick black gauntlet made up of millions of dark monofilament. With his curved Shotel he hooked the back of Rhys' knee and pulled forward, knocking him to the ground as he kicked him in the chest to send him back. The Shotel remained hooked to the back of his knee as its pommel was anchored to a thick cord that ran its way to Al's hip, where a spool of the entire cord was kept. Behind Rhys a wall of ivory-white formed. It was not glowing, but it seemed solid enough to damage Rhys if he impacted into it.
-
Rhys's shielding took most of the blow to the knee, only allowing a small amount of the Shotel to penetrate his armor - not doing severe damage to his knee. Rhys thrusts backwards away from the wall, towards Al. But before reaching him, he swings the other chain around, wrapping it around Al's chest - then attaching the hilt to his waist. Then, he ignites fire and lightning at the same time around his body and weaponry - causing enough heat for Al to feel beyond the grip of his hand. Then, to bring himself in, he pulls on the chain; activating his power Gauntlets, he sends multiple punches to the side of Al's head, hoping to loosen the grip on his chains in order for him to kick away.
-
"Son of a bitch, you love your fire!" While the lightning was mostly dampened due to his thick leather jacket, the heat lanced through his body and and made him writhe in pain. He wouldn't be able to take much more of it if it was continued, so he had to improvise. Forming an ivory-white kunai in one hand with a glowing tip he stabbed it into the hand punching his face, leaving it there before forming another white kunai and throwing it at Rhys' knee. Al's head pounded. Unlike Lucien he could not take such a beating.
-
Rhys punches Al one more time, but this final blow was with spikes protruding from the gauntlet - it hurt Rhys immensely due to the blade in his wrist, but he took the pain. Then he took the chain from Al's hand, and concealed in back into a cylinder; placing it on his waist. He pulls the knife out of his wrist, then throws it far into the woods - same with the one in his knee, which didn't go too far in. He reaches down and rips out the Shotel from the back of his knee, taking it, and lodging it into Al's shoulder. After that, he unchains him entirely, kicking himself away. He stabilizes himself with his thrusters as he goes further into the air. A bow on his wrist forms into his hand, he fires two arrows at once towards Al's knees. The arrow tips being made of electrified, superheated vibranium.
-
Except... There was barely any knife to throw away - only the wire work "handle" of the blade. Rhys' hands shake as they let loose the arrows quickly. Discomfort and pain shoot up one arm as fast as the arrows speed towards Al. One hits his left knee whilst the other misses just by a few inches. It shouldn't have missed though, it was essentially point-blank. Al fell to a single knee, but raised his hands as if he was playing the piano. He stretched the fingers of his left, causing more pain in the hand that Al had just stabbed. "Moonlight Sonata: Puppet." Rhys' wounded hand began to spasm painfully, as if somebody took a sewing needle and thread and repeatedly sutured his flesh. His hand grabbed his unwounded arm and began twisting it, trying to dislocate it. Every movement his wounded arm made was painful and was felt down to the very nerves of his arm. Al began to limp backwards as Rhys' hand continued to work against him, all the while playing his imaginary piano.
-
Rhys collapses to the ground, trying to fight the wires in his arm. It annoyed him; angered him. He punches the ground several times with the working arm, sending out blasts of heat and electricity. The orange in his visor becomes pure fire, and his wings become both an amalgamation of fire and lightning. Though it wasn't visible, his skin started to glow a bright orange, not from the outside, but within. The inside of his body was practically a furnace. He was building up mass amounts of heat to rid the wires from him. He screams. Extending his arms out wide, he lets out a terrifying screech. The form of what seems like a raven surrounds his body; being made of pure electricity. The birds wings wrapping themselves around Rhys, creating a second layer of shielding around his body. He is furious.
-
"Oh shit he's mad! Lucien he's hella mad!" ... "Yes you old man, I can handle myself!" He speaks to no one in particular, hard to hear over the sound of fire and lightning. He throws his hands up once more and starts weaving an avatar of his own. A large humanoid first made of a silky white thread, then encased in a hard black that wraps over it like a second skin. It grows talons from the top part of its wrists as it grows a long tail from its back, the bladed appendage encircling it like a barbed dragon. At the end of its tail was the shotel, glowing a superheated white like the talons of the humanoid. Al raises his hands in a grand gesture, opening the beast's rib cage to release dozens of ceramic Kunai superheated by the white threads - ceramic Kunai that wouldn't falter in the face of Rhys' fire.

Edited by Old Man Kent: 12/12/2016 2:18:35 AM[spoiler]I did this with JJ too.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Sounds a lot like Bloodborne lmao[/spoiler] During the formation of the creature, Rhys had taken a rod off of his back, and attached it to a metal hammerhead that seemed to protrude from his armor. When combined it created something like a warhammer. The head's edges seemed to glow a bright orange, vibrating and humming furiously. Obviously, lightning and fire followed suit, covering the entirety of the weapon. As the Kunai came at him, Rhys slammed the ground with the hammer, sending out a massive shockwave that disrupted the paths of the Kunai.
-
[spoiler]Think of it as a puppet.[/spoiler] Al's fingers work furiously as wires attached to the kunai reeled them back into the beast's stomach. He began running up the back of the beasts, forming spears made out of wires in each hand - one black and one white. He leaps off the head of the beast, throwing the black one towards Rhys and plunging the white one into the ground. The wire puppet wraps its hands around Aloysious to protect him as the black spear continues to sail towards Rhys, looking rather heavy and not as deferrable as the kunai.
-
Rhys lunges into the air at immense speed, attempting to dodge the black spear, his fiery, electric wings looking like a blurr. He floats in the air, creating rods of lightning in his hand, throwing them at the beasts head; he does this as he flies around the beast at all angles.
-
Just as the black spear was about to hit the ground, white strands rose up from the earth and caught it. They turned its head towards Rhys just as quickly as he flew and launched it at him at a much higher velocity. The puppet raises its tail and tries to bat Rhys out of the air. Its head opens up as lightning begins to burn through its cranium... Revealing a hollow that releases dozens of superheated kunai shot up from its hollow head.
-
[i]F*ck this shit.[/i] Rhys whispers to himself as he increases the speed of his thrusters. He plummets to the ground, hammer first, sending out a massive shockwave of kinetic energy. That's his last move. Rhys stands, pulling the rod from the hammerhead, then placing it on his back. He extends his arms, and waits for Al to do whatever he pleases. He has given up - he can't win. [spoiler]I've given up at this point lmao[/spoiler]
