More trouble?! (Ark, Orenji)

[Orenji]

Orenji looked down at Nobunaga, full well knowing that he wasn’t going to give up. No matter what Orenji would say, he knew Nobunaga wasn’t going to listen to him. Deciding not to wait, Orenji grabbed both of Nobunaga’s legs wrapping his arms around him. Still in his Great Namek form, he began to spin to the left lifting Nobunaga off of the ground. Mustering all this newly found power, completing a 180 degree circle Orenji let go of Nobunaga sending him flying into the mountain. He watched as Nobunaga slammed into the mountain and slowly peeled off, plummeting to the ground.

”Give up Nobunaga you aren’t going to win this. There is no point in fighting the power between us is to great now.” Orenji said walking towards Nobunaga

”I am…not going to ….give up. You can’t beat….me Orenji.”

Orenji watched as Nobunaga struggled to get to his feet, once standing Nobunaga tried to strike Orenji. The strike was easily deflected, Orenji countered with a right hook, slamming into Nobunaga’s helmet. As Nobunaga hit the ground his helmet popped off of his head, rolling across the ground. Nobunaga slowly turned his head towards Orenji, his cyan colored eyes connected with Orenji’s. Cyan colored skin with white tattoo lines all over his face. Blood was running down his face from the vicious assault. Orenji watched as once again he tried to get back to his feet.

”I know what you are doing, but you have lost. There is nothing you can do now to win this fight. Just surrender.”

”I will never surrender to you. One of us is going to die, there will be no surrender today.”

”I am not going to kill you Nobunaga, neither of us are going to die today. You, that creature and your leader Arthis should just leave. You aren’t going to win. I respect your honor to fight, but I am not going to kill you, just leave my planet.”

Nobunaga just laughed and tried to strike at Orenji again, but there was no strength behind it. His punch lightly connected with Orenjis cheek, the fist just slid off with ease. Just shaking his head, Orenji quickly jabbed Nobunaga in the head knocking him back to the ground. Turning around and making his way back to the town, he left Nobunaga there.

”You have lost this fight Nobunaga, just go home. Leave my planet and never return.”

”You are going to have to kill the others Orenji, my leader is never going to leave and neither will she. That is going to be the way to save your village, and your planet.”

Nobunaga still looking at Orenji, finally realizing that he had lost. In acceptance of his loss, Nobunaga pulled out a small blade from his back saying a few words. Orenji turned around in time to see him slam the blade into his chest dragging it from left to right. Seconds later his body slumped forward, but staying in a kneeling position.

Shaking his head ”If that is how you wanted to end this then that is your choice. You could have walked away from all of this, gone home. I feel sorry for you Nobunaga.”

Orenji lifted off of the ground reentering the city, he hoped that Drexx and Ark were doing well in their fights, but that wasn’t the case. Arthis was swinging his blade down upon Drexx, While Ark was being held in the air by the grotesque female looking creature. He had little time to react; flying down Orenji would send several ki blasts at Arthis, some hitting him while some hitting the blade to send it off course. Then flying with great speed, coming between Ark and the creature, he looked a teh three female faces.

”Your time on my planet has come to an end, now die you grotesque abomination.”

Orenji extended his index finger bringing it inches away from the creatures chest, releasing a Dodonpa Ray. It slammed into her chest piercing her chest. The creature let out a loud shriek as she let go of Ark, stumbling backwards. Orenji looked at the creature shrieking, her death had come quickly, and she knew this. Orenji watched as she slowly fell to the ground, the life leaving each of the three faces.

Checking on Ark ”Are you alright Ark? Can you still fight? If not then I suggest you go inside that building over there.” Orenji pointed to the biggest building ”There are Namekians in there that can heal your injuries; All I can do it seal the wounds to stop the bleeding.”

Orenji held both hands over Ark, an orange light began to emit from his hands, healing the minor cuts and scrapes that Ark has gotten.

”I am sorry Ark but that is all I can do at the current moment. If you do stay to fight, We need to go now Drexx isn’t going to last much longer.”

Orenji stood up, looking at Arthis

”Arthis, the other two are dead, leave now and never return to Namek. This is going to be my only warning.”

Blasts slammed into Arthis, stumbling him and sending his sword from his hands. He looked up stunned at Orenji, but the Namekian was already flying by on his way to rescue Ark from Xendra, the vicious multi-faced spider woman. Drexx kicked out and smashed his foot into Arthis’ kneecap, eliciting howls of pain from the Lich. He dropped to a knee and grimaced at the android.

“You think you’ve won?! You think that you’ve defeated me?!” [/b] A wild look came to his eyes, and in the distance he spotted the body of Nobunaga. His snarl widened and his head whipped around to see the body of Xendra lying on the ground. He held out his hand and his claymore returned. He stood and staggered over to the android, who was still lying on the ground seeping a mixture of oil and blood into the dirt from the wounds on his shoulder and chest.

Arthis raised his hand into the sky and a green aura came from it, it shot two tendrils out from it, connecting to Nobunaga and Xendra. Arthis’ wounds began to heal and Drexx could feel the lich regaining his strength. How were they supposed to beat him if he could regain his power using the dead?

“You see, you cannot defeat me.” [/b] He raised his claymore over the near-dead android once again poised to strike. He brought it down with an intense look of fury on his face. From seemingly out of nowhere a fiery-red chain like whip wrapped itself the Lich’s hand. He looked down at it in shock. “Mogam?! What are you doing!?” [/b]

Drexx couldn’t afford not to take the opportunity; his hand whipped down and drew his pistol from its holster. Arthis was still in shock at the defiance of his former subordinate. Drexx fired three rounds at Arthis, who turned and looked back with a wild look of shock.

“Yet again I underestimated you…” [/b] He muttered to himself. He knew he wouldn’t have the time to use his shadow-teleportation, the blasts were too quick, and his arm was still wrapped up by Mogam. Then the blasts rocketed into him. The first one tore through his right shoulder, tearing his arm off in the process and releasing him of Mogam’s chain. Another crashed through his left leg, tearing it off at the knee. The next rocketed into his chest, throwing him backwards, sailing through the air and spiraling landing on his back. He let out a cough, green ichor flowing freely from his mouth.

Drexx stood and clutched at his side, his body wracked with pain. He had to admit that his upgrade has saved his life. He looked over at Orenji and Ark, both fighters in better shape than he, but still looking bloodied and bruised. He gave them a weak smile. He then looked to Mogam, who looked out from his spot in the building sheepishly. The fire creature had saved his life, even after Drexx had previously blown him apart. The android didn’t understand… why had he done it? Was it self-preservation, or something else? His thoughts were disturbed by the maniacal laughter coming from Arthis’ bloodied and ripped apart body. The Lich had reverted back to his original form, and his power-level was quickly dropping even as he laughed.

“Congratulations… you’ve bested me… but you have to understand… everything I did… I did for her… I… love… you… Aburacaa…” He clutched at his heart and his body spasmed for a moment before lying still, the green glow leaving his eyes, his pale skin flushing even further.

Drexx staggered over towards where Ark and Orenji were standing, Mogam too venturing from his hiding spot from the building he was hiding in. The four met in the center of the village, evidence of destruction all around them, but thankfully they had prevented any villagers from suffering the fates of those they had come across when first meeting Mogam and Ithyis.

“Sounds like the real problem here is this Aburacaa character. Arthis said everything he did he did for her. We need to find her, and put a stop to this once and for all…. After I get some repairs that is…” He said and as he finished he looked down at the tremendous gash in his side, holding onto it tightly to stop the flow of blood and oil.

[Ark Ghiest]

His arms and legs felt as if they were about to give, the tension more then he felt his body could handle. It was going to a horrible death simply because he knew he was going to bleed to death after the excruciating pain of having his limbs ripped from his body. Perhaps the pain might be enough to cause him to pass out, simply never waking up.

One moment he was about to die, then the next Orenji stood between him and the fiend. With one finger extended the Namekian shot a blast, the shot seeming to so easily rip through the chitinous hide of the fiend that he had struggled to defeat.

Xendra’s strength instantly leaves her arms as she drops him to the ground, the human landing with a ground. As for the fiend she topples over, weakly trying to clutch at the hole in her chest, acid blood bubbling from her mouth. Even in this situation Ark still felt remorse for her, death never something to rejoice in, even if it was the death of a foe.

With a groan Ark begins to sit up until he feels firm hand placed on his chest easing him down. He was indeed battered and bruised, but nothing that a couple of days rest could not fix. Resting on his back he watches as Orenji’s hands slowly start to glow, the open wounds on his wrists and ankles closing up. The Namekian was healing him? What other surprised would Orenji reveal on this day?

When he was done Ark is able to get to his feet on his own power, rolling his shoulders a little to find them still quite sore. It seemed the healing the Namekian was capable of
did not come at a cost and apparently had its limits, but it was more than Ark had expected.

”I am fine…thank you.” The only thing that was truly hurt was his pride. Again he had needed the assistance of someone else to defeat his foe and again it had been one of his new companions that had come to his aid. Disappointed in himself he looks over to Drexx as the android manages to defeat this Arthis, the man laying on his back, blood pooling around him.

Drexx looked to be worse of then the pair of them, the android clutching his ripped open side as he makes his way over. In the end it only mattered that the three of them were alive and the rest of the village was safe at least for the time being.

”I agree Drexx, but it worries me if these three did this in her name. I do not believe fiends such as these would show such respect to another unless that being was stronger then they.” If that was the case what were they to do? All three of them, save maybe Orenji, had barely pulled through with their lives. How in the world were they suppose to take on someone stronger than those they had just faced?

Standing with the two Ark knew he needed to get stronger. Orenji was far above him, that he could plainly see and while Drexx was unreadable he had no doubt the android surpassed him just the same. The foe he had defeated was someone the human did not have the power to defeat.

Looking again to the powerful Namekian besides him he planned to ask him for help. If Orenji could get so much stronger then he had been before, what was preventing Ark from doing the same? It was time he put himself to work, this struggle for Namek seemed as if it was far from over.

[Orenji]

Orenji looked at Ark, the human had said he was fine to fight. The three of them were going to fight Arthis, or so Orenji thought. Drexx had shot three blasts out of his gun, each one slamming into Arthis. A leg and an arm were ripped off of Arthis’s body as the final one slammed into his chest, sending him flying backwards. The leader was dying, he said some final words, but ultimately died from the attack.

“Sounds like the real problem here is this Aburacaa character. Arthis said everything he did he did for her. We need to find her, and put a stop to this once and for all…. After I get some repairs that is…”

”I agree Drexx, but it worries me if these three did this in her name. I do not believe fiends such as these would show such respect to another unless that being was stronger then they.”

”Well it doesn’t matter, we are going to make her leave the planet just like the others. I do not wish to kill her, but if that is the only way to save my planet, then so be it.”\

”ORENJI YOU DID IT! I KNEW YOU COULD!”

Orenji looked over to see Ari and Bia both running out of one of the buildings, followed by Migan. Minutes later all the namekian villagers were coming out of the buildings, including the mentor. Ari and Bia rushed up to Orenji, who had returned to normal size. The two kalavarians children latched onto his legs. Orenji picked up the two children as the mentor approached.

“Once again Orenji you have saved the village, and with the help of your two friends here. I thank the both of you for everything that you have done. We are in your debt.” The mentor said looking around at Drexx and Ark.

”Drexx there is something that I have to ask you. DO you know if anyone has attacked Ancient city? Are the villagers alright, and is the city still there?”

Orenji saw the look on Drexx’s face, a look of sadness. Drexx began to explain everything that he saw in Ancient city. The destruction, the death, there was nothing they could do for all the Namekian civilians they were gone. Orenji began to realize that he had failed, failed his people, failed Cargo, failed himself. He put the girls on the ground and looked up at Drexx and Ark.

”Drexx get your repairs, Ark heal your wounds, I will be back.”

Orenji lifted off of the ground, but stopped when Migan talked.

“Orenji you can’t leave yet, stay here…” Migan tried to grab onto Orenji, but was stopped by the Mentor.

“Let him go Migan, he needs to clear his head.” The mentor said

Orenji looked down at Migan, then to Ark, then Drexx. He closed his eyes, turned his head back and departed from the village. Heading towards the mountains, to the place he always went to clear his mind.

The scientist that Drexx had been upgraded by touched down tucked between the arms of two Black Gi Namekians. The set him down lightly and he hurried over towards the android, looking him over and pulling a medical scanner out of his lab-coat pocket. He could tell the android’s wounds were severe but he couldn’t tell by just looking how severe the wiring and circuit damage was. He waved it over the android’s body and looked down at it, grimacing. He motioned for the Namekians to carry the android into the elder’s building, laying him on the table and setting up a make-shift operating room.

The doctor opened the multiple panels on the android’s body. The damage wasn’t as severe as the wounds were, and they were mostly contained to the areas with wounds. He pulled a capsule out of his pocket and opened it, a series of computers appearing in a puff of smoke. He hooked various wires to ports on Drexx’s chest to monitor his vitals and levels.

“Don’t worry Drexx. We won’t let you die.” He went to work, repairing the android’s body and mechanical parts. After a few hours of grueling work he finished and wiped the sweat from his brow. Drexx sat up, blinking and looking around. The doctor offered him his hand and helped him off the table.

“Thank you doctor. I seem to rely on you constantly.” The android said, putting on a fresh pair of clothing that the doctor offered him.

“And you always can Drexx. I owe Benjin for far more than simple upgrades and repairs. Whenever you’re on Namek and need help don’t hesitate to call on me.”

Drexx nodded and walked outside. Up in the sky the barrier was still there, then there was the mystery of the shooting star. Where did these things come from? They would have to find these things out.

[Ark Ghiest]

From a short distance away Ark watched it all. The two children that ran up to Orenji showed so much love and admiration for the Namekian, even though they were obviously not related. Leaning back against one of the remaining buildings in the small village he lets out a sigh, his arms crossed snuggled over his chest despite the pain in his shoulders. After a few more words Orenji takes off, sailing of into the air to tend to something else no doubt.

Drexx was lying on the ground, a new individual that had just arrived with a small escort working on him. The android appeared to need some serious repairs, yet he had won his fight with minor assistance. Just like Orenji he had proven his worth, even saving Ark’s own life once at the risk of his own. Did Ark truly fit in with these two?

Both of his companions had done so much, controlled such power and he simply did not fit. Of course he wanted to help those that were in need, protect those that could not protect themselves, but he felt as if the pair might have handled the situation just the same if he had not been involved. Letting his head hang the human looks to the ground. Most of his life he had trained his body and mind, trying to reach that higher level of discipline. He had felt he was heading in the right direction yet in these past several days he had seen how weak he truly was.

Did he even have the potential to reach the heights these two had achieved? How hard would he have to work to obtain the strength and power these two seemed to have? Orenji himself had doubled his power in a couple of days…was there even a point in getting stronger?

Letting out another sigh Ark shoves off the building and lifts into air. Rising slowly he realized he needed time to himself, time to think his next path over. As far as she saw it he had two options. His first was simply to take a back seat to all this, let those with power greater than him handle what may come. The alternative was the opposite, for him to step up, train and do his best to match the others he had come to know. Ark was not sure what he would do…he was not sure what his next step might be. He needed to mediate on it, search his soul for what was right.

Notes

Don't think your references to Nobunaga fell on blind eyes, well played!

I really like the fact that you guys created your own villains to fight. Each one had a personality (No matter how corny and cliche they became towards the end lol) and you played them pretty fairly. I mean you guys did end up whooping some ass, but they got a few good shots in here and there.

Ark most of your massive PL came from the fact that your weights are still at 100% effectiveness (Drexx, yours are not so its only half of .25). But I think you are the winner of the day even without that modification, I feel like your posts pushed the others to really go for it. The detail of your shockwave attack was superb and I kinda wish you were stronger so Geurin could go toe to toe with you and I could roleplay with you. Be sure to train with Kami or meet Cannicus so that we can roleplay.

Good job guys. I didn't make it Plot because this was entirely NPC and no mod had to be involved, I know you mentioned Saibaman, and the reason he got plot was that he blew up a city, gave opportunity for someone to stop him, and then was not stopped.

Regardless, great fight, one of the highlights of grading on a Saturday afternoon.
