OOC: Direct challenge to Grey. Use any character you feel like using. Normal rules, be creative, and let's focus on finishing this battle! We never finished our other one, but with school out it should be a little easier. Good luck!

I'll be taking an approach I don't normally use in Sim-Battle intros, so here we go...


It's late at night, a small breeze blowing and not a cloud in the dark sky. A lone Psi Warrior stands in the middle of an empty battle colloseum, gazing upwards... but it's NOT Schwa.

"Schwa... Why? Why leave me behind? I thought we were a team!"

Her voice is quiet and sad. She gazes at the first few stars to appear in the sky at night, wondering... wishing...

"You chose to judge the Tournament. That's fine. But please, Schwa, don't let the pride get to you! I'm... just as good a Psi Warrior as you... or my other comrades..."

She looks at the ground, and softly weeps.

"Please... Please..."

This Psi Warrior has long, brown hair, white, loose clothes and a grey blindfold in her right hand. Her hands are cold and hang by her sides, no ether flaring around them...

She doesn't notice anything around her. She feels as lonely and afraid as her surroundings seem... reject by a close friend, Schwa.

Grey: "You're Allaura, right? Schwa's girlfriend?"

His voice sounded as though it was far away, but his footsteps sounded like they were right next to her...

A warm hand touched her shoulder. The arm it was attached to was not toned, was indeed a bit scrawny. Its owner's face was scholarly... what could have been a beard covered it, but the facial hair was trimmed far too often to be considered anything more than a growth. Glasses covered soft brown eyes that had no pierce to them at all, like dead spheres of wood below a shaggy matting of dark hair.

He was not exceptionally tall, nor exceptionally attractive. His build was not medium, indeed it was racked with the ravages of what seemed like anorexia, but lacked physical activity. His clothes were plain, sewn by a steel machine run several countries away by a laborer, and bought from a manufacturer's outlet with no exceptional endowments to them. Cargo pants, button-down shirt, long, thin coat. Just a boy to anyone that didn't know him.

He stepped around to Allaura's front and bends over just a bit, cocking his head to the side and wiping her tears away with a lone finger. They glisten as they fall to the ground, and the empty silence is broken once again by his voice, not deep or heroic, but also soft, and indeed a little effeminate...


"My name is Tom. Around here, though, everyone seems to call me Grey. Especially Schwa."

He takes his coat off and offers it to Allaura...

"It's a bit too chilly out tonight to be alone. Care for some company?"

There is a small pause, then suddenly, red ether flares up all around Allaura and illuminates the area. The ether dies down in about 3 or 4 seconds, and Allaura backs up a few steps from the stranger.

"Sorry, needed to get that out... You know Schwa?"

Thinking, "Who is this guy? Wha'd he mean by girlfriend? I might have to show him, that's for sure... But is he defenseless? I can't harm him if he is, that would be unhonorable... So many thoughts! Gotta get myself straightened..."

Grey: "Gah!"

He instantly dives beneath his coat, and pops out from underneath it, staring meekly at Allaura...

"Yeah, of course I know him... Heh, he doesn't seem to like me too much. I remember a while ago he thought I was some kind of god or demon or something like that. Kept trying to catch me and force me to tell him who I was, too. Heh, I still don't think he knows..."

The person, now positively identified as nothing more than a mere boy, got to his feet and put his jacket back on. Red ether... she was pissed. Maybe it was her time of the month? Or something like that, anyway.

"But yeah, I know him. Come on, let's have a talk about him. I think you'll find it's good to gain someone else's perspective on a person to gain a better understanding of him or her. In the very least, you can add it to your own."

He turned around and began to walk out of the colloseum. This was not the best place...

"Psi Shackle!" Allaura calls, with echo effects, as she holds her hands to the retreating Grey.

A bolt of electricity is fired from her hands, and if it hits the foe it wouldn't do damage, but trap the target in a powerful force-field for 10-20 seconds.

Allaura means to trap Grey for a moment because she "overheard" something unnerving.


"Time of MONTH!!? Yes, I can read minds, don't forget! I don't often, but you deserved it this time, pal! Start talking! Who the hell do you think you are, for one, and... and... just, WHY are you here?!"

Extreme frustration has overtaken Allaura. She means business with this stranger.

Grey snapped his fingers and the bolt froze in midair, and dropped to the ground in the form of a piece of ice. Without so much as a flinch, he whirled around and made eye contact, his glare suddenly fearsomely strong in manner.

Grey: "Firstoff, You don't need to know just yet who I am. Nobody does. Second, it's extremely rude to read other people's minds without knowing. Third, if you want to know, don't just stand there and try to keep me with you. It's just like with Schwa, if you stand there and wait for him to come back he's not going to come to you!"

He turned around once again and continued out of the colloseum...

"Sometimes you have to go after what you want, instead of waiting for it to come to you."

As Grey froze her attack solid, Allaura's expression changed-- from an angry frustration to a "Whoa, that's something you don't see everyday".

She watches Grey leave the colloseum, then it dawns on her.
"Schwa... That part about UGrey... No way!" she whispers. She has stopped crying, as she has now figured out part of the "chess game".

"Schwa mentioned something about a fellow named UGrey with godlike powers," she monolouges. "Is that him? He looks so... ordinary, though! One thing's for sure, he's a person who demands leadership."

"Allaura, my child, guess what? You have, once again, a descion to make."

Allaura stops, startled. Sensae hadn't managed to contact Allaura and vice-versea ever since the anger of Schwa's rejection overtook her. But now...

"Hello again, Sensae. Hey, I need some comfort right now... Can you help?"

"Yes, but Grey can help you even more. He was recently promoted, after all." Allaura almost responds, but Sensae continues. "Follow him. Show courage. You will learn the truth someday, I promise."

Courage is Allaura's Psi element type, and she decides to live up to her power. Putting on the grey blindfold she holds, Allaura waves her hand, summoning the crystal disc of a Psi Warrior. She steps on and it begins to levitate, as she zips out of the colloseum begind Grey, maybe 10 or 15 feet behind him. She hardly makes a sound, though.

Meanwhile, on a faraway PC, Aspie Hunter "Schwa" Schweitzer writes to UGrey,
'Dude, when are we gonna get this party started??'

OOC: Relax, Schwa. This is a part of it.

Grey: "Good... You're in pursuit! Now let's see if you can catch me!"

As the sound of the Crystal Disc met his ears, Grey did a little hop, snapped his fingers, and whirled around in the air, taking off into the stars with sudden, unprecedented speed!

"Remember, to get what you're after, you need to want it with all of your passion and dignity! Nothing less will suffice!"

He flew off into the night sky and soared over the top of the Sim Battle Arena Annex building, his body suspended in the air by an unknown force. The race was on...

Allaura just stares at first, and says, "What is this? Another mind-game?"

But some feeling in Allaura is screaming to chase Grey... Some part in her wants what Grey is trying to give her...

"Ha ha! You'll never escape!"

And she takes off-- fast as she's ever gone before. She stares at the world below her in an unexplainable way, feeling everything but not seeing a thing... She tracks all of Grey's aerial movements, no longer by her given Psi Warrior instincts, but by the pure instincts of her heart... She does her best to let the "passion and dignity" guide her flight path. And the whole time, a part of her tells her this is a good experience, a feeling she needs more than anything else...

Grey: "That's the spirit! Now come on, you've got to try harder than that if you want to catch me!"

He bolted off into the night, flying far away from the Acmlm's Board building, far away from the Sim Battles, away from the Stories and Craziness, and into the world around it. A sea of buildings surrounding the host city for the board's building flashed by him as he flew through their tall, concrete towers. It was just ahead, he knew that for a fact. Right where he wanted her to go. Grey yelled back at her, his coat flaring in the wind created by the speed of his flight. His voice echoed through the otherwise still night air...

"So, why do you want to catch me, anyway? Have you figured it out yet?"

Afraid she'll lose her new way of seeing the world if she answers, Allaura speaks to Grey telepathically.

"No, I haven't... I just... need this."

What? Is she crazy? How could she just 'need' something? But as far as she knows, it's the truth...

She keeps on Grey's tail, fast as her heart can carry her...


OOC: Recieved PM. Where ARE we going with this? You seem to know something I don't. (I swear, I've had SO many users play mind-games with me recently... Dracoon, you, I think Zerodius too but probably on accident... )

OOC: Right here.

Grey: "It's really very simple!"

Grey cuts his speed after a few hundred miles, and lands directly on the ground. The area he lands in is destroyed, cracked, and psionically endowed. Ironically, it is the very place where Janus and Schwa fought in the past, and will fight again in the future...

When Allaura lands on the ground, Grey will say the following to her...


"Allaura, right? Psi Warrior of Courage, and friend of Schwa, Prince of the Psi Warriors? Explain something to me before I begin my manifesto... How do you feel about Schwa?"

OOC: No lies, I am actually shaking in excitement right now.

Allaura lands, and her disc didintegrates. She looks around...

"I know this place... I've never been here, but it's like I've seen it before... I have these senses in me I never knew existed, or something."

Allaura shakes her head, releaving her of her extraordinary sense for now.

"Schwa... I don't know, Grey. But I'll tell you everything..."

She leans against a scarred tree.

"I've always liked Schwa. Just a little. He and I have been good friends because we go on missions together... Sensae always pairs us up. I've asked him many times why, and he's only spoken in riddles each time. So I tried to figure it out myself... But I couldn't. Well, now..."

Allaura almost begins crying as her voice changes tone.

"Schwa has gotten prideful. It's because he's a Tournament judge. The other Psi Warriors and even Sensae have complimented him and treated him more respectfully because of this, and I believe he... let it go to his head... I can't talk to him anymore because he thinks I'm not as good a Psi Warrior as him..."

She cries.

"Could you do me a favor, Grey? Define 'good'. I don't want to think about it..."

OOC: Get back to Ragnarok: Dark or Light. The door's open.

Grey looked at her with an expression of slight annoyance. He hated situations like this...

Grey: "Jeez... Don't get all emotional about it. Good is relative. To the evilest overlord, the hero is who is really evil and the overlord is who is really good. Good could also mean thinking only of others, whereas evil would be furthering only one's own motivations. Good can mean "skilled", good can mean "helpful", or anything else like that."

He moved closer to her and put his hand on her shoulder again. A sense of warmth, stronger than the last time, filled her.

"Maybe Schwa considers you inferior because he thinks you are weaker than him. There's always a chance of that happening. But remember also that strength can't be measured by who lifts the heaviest rocks, or who fires the biggest psibeams. Maybe all you really need is a test of your strength."

He backs away from her, and his voice suddenly takes on an extremely generic dark undertone...

"Tonight, Miss Allaura, I am going to kill Schwa. There is only one way for me to be stopped from doing this."

OOC: I already responded there.

Allaura smiles.

"Don't be ridiculous... Psi Warrior spirits are immortal."

She pauses, looking thoughtful, then,

"And Schwa mentioned that you said you came from the Outside Dimmension, and can't interfere directly with those from this dimmension!"

She seems happy now, but it's temporary.

"Sorry, Grey... I know what you're trying to do, you want to invoke by fighting spirit. But it doesn't come very easily like that... Besides, do you really think I'd stand a chance against you, even in a spar?"

Grey: "Jeez, you really don't get it...."

Grey snaps his fingers, and a mouse suddenly appears in his hands, with the cord dangling at his feet. His voice retains its serious tone at the sight of the simple piece of computer hardware.

"Of course I can interfere with members of this dimension. I touched you, didn't I? And not only that, but I can edit Schwa's Past, Present, and possibly future with a few slight movements. If you don't believe me, just try and look up any semblance of information you may have on Schwa in your head. I can destroy him, every last bit of information ever let into the world about him, save of course for the barebones knowledge. He can cease to exist here with nothing more than a few clicks. I will kill him tonight if I am not stopped."

He then proceeds to make several clicking motions with the mouse, further showing his abilities....

OOC: Aw, hell! Grey, you leave my Profile alone! Period! I'm actually very, very mad about that. I spent hours writing that stuff and if you delete it, God help me I will so leave this community. Probably, anyway. I don't have that backed up!

Allaura backs up. "Who ARE you?" she says with a touch of fear in her voice.

And after quite a pause, she adds, unsurely,
"And... what would you want with Schwa?"

OOC: OK, now here's where you're overreacting. I'm roleplaying. I'm not actually gonna kill your profile. The point would be that Grey has the ability to completely annihilate Schwa's past and therefore his present at a moment's notice. Assuming, of course, that there's no one to stop him.

Grey grinned evilly.

Grey: "I'm just the background, here. I don't exist to you, right? From another dimension? I guess you wouldn't believe me if I said I could bring Schwa and therefore Hunter to his knees, right? Bah, you Psi Warriors are all alike. No appreciation for true power."

He approached Allaura...

"So, as I said. Tonight I am going to kill Schwa for being so prideful. Unless, of course, there's someone here to stop me..."

And for goodness' sake, Grey hoped Allaura would take the bait. There was no way she'd realize how she felt otherwise...

OOC: Yeah, but to me sometimes it's not just a game.

Long pause. Then, Allaura's fear goes away and is replaced by pure Courage... as red ether flares up in her hands.

"Enemy engaged, Sensae. You owe me, Schwa..."

Allaura goes into offensive stance and awaits a possible attack from Grey.

Grey: "Haha! Now THAT's the spirit!"

Grey snapped his fingers, and a burst of hot, white energy flew out from his body in all directions, leaving him glowing white, with eyes a deep, royal green color. It was DBZ time.

Grey didn't even waste time warming up. He flew straight at Allaura, rearing back and twisting his body into a tornado, which let itself out into a hard, high-powered fist that served as a swift right hook to Allaura's pretty face.
