In from the Kold (Ammy/Blaze/Open

[brandon007]

Brandon glared at Suki. As Blaze held him back, his anger just kept on rising up as he clenched his other fist, the sword on his other hand glowing with energy. "Lord or not, I wont let him hurt Ammy!" He said to Blaze. With their relative positioning, Brandon thought he was in the perfect position to use his Chilling Harmonizer attack, but when he wanted to use it, he heard Aeva's voice.

"About time you learned out to use the weapon I gave ya." She said, as Brandons pocket glowed. It seemed that the capsule in his pocket was finally activated, as pieces of an unknown technology formed into Brandons hand. Part by Part, they all assembled to form a good sized, hand-held firearm of a strange design, as it radiated with Brandons energy. (Appearence)

With the new strange firearm in his hands, humming with energy, he said "And perhaps you didnt hear me. I said get away from her!" as he continued to glare at Suki, ignoring Blaze's warning.

[Blaze]

Some kind of energy blaster formed in Brandon's hand, and he pointed it at Suki. "And perhaps you didnt hear me. I said get away from her!" Brandon yelled. Blaze growled. He leveled his power off at 35,700 (Brndon's within 60%) and lashed out his arm to grab the wrist of the hand he held the blaster with.

"And perhaps you didn't hear me. Thats Lord Touketsuki Yakedo, Icarian Overlord of this plannet. Most powerful force in the universe. And the most dangerous. He's killed people a hundred times stronger than you for less." Blaze got closer, the two were at the same eye level.

"Ammy's in no immediate danger, Brandon. I doubt Suki wants to put up with his wife if he killed her. You on the other hand... I can only restrain you this one last time before I'll take no more responsibility for what you... or he does."

Ammy shouted at Suki. "Serori had nothing to do with this! I asked her to keep my presence here a secret!" She said. Blaze shook his head. Why would she take the blame? Doesn't make sense.

Blaze was really hoping he wouldn't have to take a Ki blast for someone.

((Like to request Minor Telepathy as a passive technique, just the ability to use it across a room or something.))

[Deleted]

So many words were flying around the room. Blazes excuses as to why Suki was not told about the strangers arrival, the young human looking boy continued to shout his nonsense at Suki. Completely ignorant to the fact that without even powering up he was capable of ending the boys life. And of course Amaranth jumped to serori's defense, as if she needed defending. Actually the entire situation was crawling under his skin.

"How...dare you"

He said under his breath. This was not directed at any of the three individually, but rather as a group. His ki spiking once more, simply flaring the near one hundred thousand he was already at, and effectively tearing the flimsy coat he was wearing, throwing it to the corner of the room without physically moving. It was him of course, no new surpises. His royal non-combat wear was on as his Pl continued to grow.

"You come into my home, and...lie to me...threaten me...and"

Looking directly into Blazes eyes, the clearly overly drugged suki continued

"..speak ill of me so openly..."

Suki took a step forward, his body seemed limp, as if he were drowsy, or perhaps just had his body parts fall asleep on him. This certainly was not how the Icer had acted before, as even Blaze had never seen Suki in such a strange state of mind.

"This is my HOME"

The word home caused the hanger to shake, as if responding to the emotionally distraught nature of his voice.

"You are the mistress of my enemy, a man out to KILL me. And nobody saw a problem with you....walking in here... What kind of GENERAL are you!?"

He asked blaze, the hanger shaking on every intensified word. He couldn't decide what he felt. Perhaps he was just overly emotional because of witnessing Boliko's transformation. Perhaps he really had taken his medication too soon, or in to large of quantity. Or maybe...just maybe...What he was saying made perfect sense. Ammy was not WTO and Suki's home planet was the most important one they owned. To let a friend of their enemy walk in without any sort of concern was asinine.

"But most of all you...The woman you covet is fine, she is unharmed...my powers are a bit overwhelming...but not harmful...and for you to so rudely brandish a weapon towards me..."

Suki stopped there and let silence fill the air. He himself was unsure of how he would respond. His speaking ability had steadily improved throughout the speech, but his mental state was still scattered. Perhaps it would be those around him that influenced his next actions.

[ammy]

She stood quietly, the pounding in her head finally gone. Amaranth was almost unnaturally quiet, a rare sight indeed. She watched as the Icer Lord she had only heard about yelled words that rung truer to none but her. He was right. How dare she. How dare she ask Serori to sneak her into the castle. How dare she allow Blaze to keep this secret, even after finding out about his position. What would she do, had something like this happen to her. That was an easy question, and the fact that Touketsuki hadn't killed her already spoke volumes. Amaranth turned her gaze to Brandon and Blaze.

"Brandon, put your weapon away. Now," she said, her voice cold. This was not the same Amaranth that he had met on Earth; the temperamental, trigger happy woman. No, this was Princess Amaranth Rixior of Nor and Writhos. A woman whose command was not to be questioned. And if he didn't put that damn weapon away, she would shoot him herself. Her eyes turned back to Touketsuki.

The Icer Lord was not as she expected him to be. She had heard stories about him from many. Serori, Jorlaxl and Caius, Boliko.... And yet, none seemed to capture the man who stood before her. Serori had told Amaranth time and time again that Suki had changed, that he was no longer the man who wished to conquer the galaxy. Maybe that new man was the one who now stood before her very eyes. She took a step forward. Then another. And then another. Standing before the man in front of her, Amaranth did something she was sure that no one expected.

She curtsied to him, bowing her head.

"My name is Amaranth Rixior, Princess of Nor and Writhos. I am sorry that I did not formally come to you first for permission to seek refuge in your home. My ship should be repaired any day now, and I promise that I shall leave as soon as possible if you will grant me the luxury," she said. Her voice was quiet, her words formal. There was not a trace of hostility in her words or stance. She was venerable to him and as she looked up at his face once more, she could only wait and see how the Lord of Kold would react.

Sorry Blaze, but no.

[brandon007]

Brandon was silent, his weapon trained on Suki for a few moments before he powered it down, and lowered it. And like it had emerged, the gun broke into different components, and slipped back into its capsule form, which Brandon grabbed and stuffed into his Pocket. "Yes Ma'am." He said, as he listened to Ammy intrduce herself fully.

"Shes a Princess?!" He thought to himself, as a familiar Dark voice rang through his head, which it seemingly kept itself shielded from any telepathic intruders. "Just as your a prince... Oh wait I forgot to tell ya that, didnt I? Muh ha ha!" it said, as Brandon had a sour look on his face. "Im a prince to? How much information are ya holding back from me!?" He asked the voice in his head, but it remained silent, as if hiding from something.

Anger riddled his body, people were withholding vital information from him. His right eye began to twitch as something snapped in his head. The Evil Brandon took this chance to gain temporary control of the boys body. The pitch of Brandons voice lowered, as He said "I do apologize for my rude behavior... Like the lovely Princess, I to should of requested permission to land. However inferior technology had prevented such permission to be asked." as he gazed over to Ammy and gave a wink, hinting that Brandon wasnt exactly himself now.

[Blaze]

Suki was enraged. Blaze partly suspected the medication... but in all fairness, he was right. A couple people who were not friends in any way had walked into his home uninvited. Blaze nodded at each phrase Suki said, understanding.

The other two spoke first. Blaze heard something disturbing. "Rixoir". Blaze heard the news of the royal that had been killed. The child. This woman was a relative? Thats why she was a "Friend" of C.haos...

Blaze stood quiet for a moment, he spoke. "Lord Suki... perhaps I am most to blame. It is part of my job to inform you of any newcomers to the palace grounds, and my excuses are not sound. I apologize for my error. I will escort the boy out of the palace and see to it that Amaranth leaves the planet, if that is your wish."

[Deleted]

Suki was now breathing heavily, fairly close to hyperventalation. His Ki swirling in overwhelming circles around the room. He was going to do it, just kill them all. Kill the intruders, and beat the shit out of Blaze as punishment...


"My name is Amaranth Rixior, Princess of Nor and Writhos. I am sorry that I did not formally come to you first for permission to seek refuge in your home. My ship should be repaired any day now, and I promise that I shall leave as soon as possible if you will grant me the luxury,"


Her words...and actions...

Suki's Ki slowly began to regress back towards his body. The range of it shortening to non existant over the course of only a few seconds. His breathing began to slow as well, and his eyes met Amaranths. The other's in the room began to apologize for their actions, but Suki was still fixated on Amaranth. Perhaps nobody had noticed, but ever since his conversation with C.haos, Suki had been most displeased with the dialect others used to speak to him. Glaecer was brash and rude, while Blaze was rather chummy. It had seemed to Suki that these people considered him to be nothing more than a child. His rage had built up to the point that he was ready to snap, and then the princess of Nor bowed as woman do...

"I...know who you are"

Suki said, his voice returning to is lighter tone, revoking the previous rage he had shown tot he room.

"Nor has never been an enemy of this organization...and you are welcome here..."

With that rather confusing turn around, suki made an immediate u-turn for the hangar door, walking rather quickly back out the way he had came, remarking only once more.

"The boy can stay under your watch Blaze, and give the princess our spare room in the castle. I am going out"

And with that the Icer shimmered momentarily, and from there disappeared, likely using his instant transmission to leave the area. Perhaps he was embarrassed by his outburst, or rather confused by Ammy's actions. Regardless she had come to understand the anger he was feeling, and for the first time since serori, another living being had empathized with Suki. This was something he would not easily forget.

[ammy]

She waited, eyes locked with his. Amaranth didn't even listen to Brandon or Blaze, focusing only on Touketsuki. Silence. One beat, two. Then suddenly, she felt his power level lower to almost nothing, a far cry from what he had displayed only seconds before. Another beat of silence.

"I...know who you are."

She froze slightly. It was hard to tell if being known by one such as Touketsuki was a good or bad thing. He may know her as Serori's friend, or Princess of Nor, or even as the SSE's ally. One of those options may very well get her killed. She she stayed there, in her deep curtsy and waited. And waited. His next words surprised her and she quietly bowed her head.

"Thank you, Lord Touketsuki," she said softly, letting out a breath of relief. She waited and as he left, arose. She sighed, closing her eyes. Without warning, she turned to Brandon, striking him across the face hard with the back of her hand. Her eyes were a deep crimson, her mouth turned into a deep frown.

"You stupid, senseless idiot!" she hissed, "What were you THINKING?! Do you really have a death wish?! If so, I will gladly kill you myself! Do you really think I need protecting from you! Was I in any danger?! Do you think I couldn't handle myself in a fight?!"

This time, it was her power level that spiked, leagues above his own. She turned to Blaze, level lowering back to it's lowest. Her eyes went back to her normal blue and silver, the anger visible gone.

"Thank you, for everything you have done for me Blaze, but I think it is time for me to be leaving. If you could please send word as soon as my ship is fixed?' she asked. Amaranth turned away from the two,, pulling on her coat and throwing open the door, stepping out once more into the cold.

please.

[brandon007]

Brandon growled as Ammy slapped him right across the face, as she gave him a bit of a angry speech about how stupid he was. "Only fair for me to be protective of my future bride... Isnt it?" He asked, giving Ammy a wink as she turned to leave the hanger with her coat on. She canished into the outside, as he turned to Blaze. His own powerlevel dropped back down to nromal levels, as his black eyes returned.

He was a bit confused as to why his face stung with pain. He rubbed his cheek a bit, as he said to Blaze. "I think I better go as well. I can repair my ship in orbit." He said, as he walked over to the door that Ammy had left out of. "Thank you Blaze. Good luck with that... Translation." He added, as he left, closing the door behind him.

PL Please.

Brandon: 750
Blaze: 1125
Ammy: 1900
Suki: 1650

Suki & Ammy: Great thread guys, I mean really felt your characters in this one. You and Suki connected, and I feel like Suki's character plot is going to change drastically because of this. And certainly Ammy's view of him is changed. Bravo

Blaze & Brandon: A little two dimensional guys. Brandon you really need to work on your developement of the story. Between you talking to yourself, and being blatantly creepy with Ammy it is difficult to see any real emotion out of your character. And blaze is just well...The same blaze as always, no real twists there.

It was a great thread, but the side characters to it needed a little work.
