| OOC: By any chance, did you receive a PM regarding my new RP? The sphere orbit speed increases. "I see... And you're completely sure it had absolutely nothing to do with anything besides owing Schwa a favor? Think carefully..." |

| "Well, alright..." The spinning spheres suddenly launch themselves one at a time towards Janus at a fast speed. They come from almost every angle, and each hit would do light damage (but of course, read data too). Still, a lot of hits would add up to something pretty powerful. "He doesn't seem very happy anymore," Yiusi thinks... |

OOC: Grrr... Four posts and already there are two sub-plots going. Try to cut down, guys. Still waiting for some more people to join, since 2 out of 3 of the characters joining this RP so far have nothing to do with Schwa yet...  Schwa turns to Nimue. "Ah... You. Disturbance? Okay, this may sound weird, but..." He walks a little closer to the high priest. "My psychic senses seem to be picking up the energy signature that could ONLY come from something like an alien meteor. From the mountains over there. Do you know what this could mean? No matter how battle-skilled you are, you don't mess around with an alien meteor. ANYTHING could happen! And you have no idea what until it's too late! "I'm kind of at a loss of what to do... I decided to send out a telepathic ping to gather some allies. Alien meteors aren't really my specialty, so, yeah... "Now, Nimue, you're a DiEn, correct? Aren't they like, the Dimmensional Keepers or something like that? This may fall under your category." |

| Time for the fight... but let me finish your bets first. The Law - 6 votes Bets: fabio, 10C; High Flyin' Ryan, 25C; MarioMaster, 70C; Captain Moneybags, 70C; Magikoopa Myster, 10C; APH Striker, 20C The Burn Boyz - 4 votes Bets: Luigi fan, 30C; BabyBowser, 70C; Peardian, 10C; Creampie, 25C Just so you know, the ending of this battle is for YOUR benefit.  And now... Let the battle begin! "Okay, Birdo, what's the number one rule of being a cop?" "Umm..." They fly low as they talk-- a Hammer Bro. on a platform, and a Birdo on a platform, both of the Amazin' Flying Police Department though with quite an experience gap. Taccy, the Hammer Bro, has been doing this or 9 years, and Birdo has been doing it for less than one. "Number one rule? Stay alert!" "Well... That'll do. Good start, good start. But a Cop needs to know how to fly. Let's go higher." "NO!" "What did you say, Birdo?" "Uh, I mean... I mean yes, but I don't want to fall!" "You won't fall. You're a Cop. Now let's fly higher." Taccy soars through the air towards the white cloudy sky... looks behind him, and Birdo is gone. He flies down lower. Birdo is still flying low, not surprisingly... "What? I'm flying higher!" "Three inches doesn't count. Follow me." This time, they both fly above the coulds. And Birdo, the whole time, is... say, reluctant? "GYAAAAAAAHHH!!" "Birdo, calm down!" "GYAAAAAAAAAHHH!!" Two creatures flying nearby, a red Boo and a Fire Chomp, look over. "Heheheheheh! You sure are a sissy, cutie! Wanna come to my place?" the Boo says impishly. "Yeah... Hmhm... We could go there, get drunk, gamble... It'll be fun. Come wit' us, chick." Taccy and Birdo stop flying and hover in midair. Taccy raises his eyebrows and flies a little closer to the thugs. "In all my years I have never met anyone that stupid." "Oh, yer askin' for it now, boy!" "Deputy Taccy, Amazin' Flying Police Department," Taccy says, holding up a badge. The Boo and Chomp freeze in terror. "Oh, ohohohohohoh!" "Texas, chill out," Chomp says to the Boo. Apparently the Boo's name, or at least "gang name" is Texas. "He's good, but the chick is a newbie and you and I are man enough to beat this guy's ass, I would hope." "Is that a threat?" Taccy inquires, seemingly offended. "I say you two need to come with me. Come quietly and I won't have to use force." "Why not use force?" Texas chuckles, "You don't know who yer messin' with, cop or not! We're the Burn Boyz!" "Ahm... o-kayyyyyy..." "And yer goin' down!" They begin the aerial battle as Texas picks up Chomp, twirls once and heaves him at Taccy like in the Olympic Hammer Throw. The heavy, metal character flies at Taccy, who zips out of the way quickly, but as Chomp flies away he faces backward and spits a magma ball. The red-hot sphere singes Taccy in the back, who doesn't expect it. Right after Chomp's attack, Texas revs up and tries to body-slam Taccy, and the attack connects head-on, Taccy having been distracted by the fire. A small blast of heat engulfs Taccy upon contact, and he stands with a noticable chunk of HP missing barely through the battle. "Damn!" Taccy grabs his radio receiver. "Taccy here, I--" Taccy can't finish his sentence, because Chomp is on his way back to collide with Taccy and he has to dodge, but he drops the radio and it falls beneath the clouds, gone forever. "Holy crud! Birdo, get'cher sorry hide up here and fight!" "But it's so high..." "Shtop whining! You can fight better than I can!" Texas and Chomp await their move. "Told ya you don't know who yer messin' with! Right Tiger?" "Yeah... Cops don't scare me. You call yerselves cops? Yer not. Yer panzies!" Taccy glares at Tiger. "Say that again." "Yer panzies, and furthermore yer washout disgraces in the Police Department." "Taccy, don't let them get to you," Birdo advises... "I've been in the academy for nine years. There's no way on this goddamn earth I'm gonna listen to talk like that." Three Hammers appear in his hand, and he lobs all three of them at the two gangstas. Both Texas and Tiger take a direct hit, and the damage is great. Birdo sighs and joins the battle, firing a shower of eggs from her mouth at the two foes. None of the eggs hit, but the hammers were already powerful enough. "Rrgh! So you CAN fight. Tiger, take 'em!" "Done. Get ready." Texas suddenly flies straight up, and above the clouds, gone from view. Tiger then begins spinning around, as it's firey tail whips in a blazing circle, then it hovers at a medium speed towards Taccy and Birdo, threatening them with it's weedwacker-style fire spin. This is a very dangerous attack, because one caught in the spin will take many heavy-damage hits and could be put in a critical condition in no time flat. Taccy hovers upwards, but Tiger keeps edging closer and closer to him. He seems to be speeding up, too. Birdo pelts it with eggs, but the fire-spin shatters the projectiles before they can hit the metal body. Then Taccy tries chucking hammers at it; the flight path of Tiger is easy to track, and Tiger takes his second hammer hit. But Taccy though the hammer would stop it in it's tracks; instead, Tiger is spinning so fast, he is able to endure the pain and keep up the attack without missing a beat. Taccy is caught in the spin, and takes THREE high-damage racks with the fire tail! "Birdo, Trickyblock Attack NOW!" Taccy leaps off the platform to avoid further damage (he is already damaged enough as it is) as Birdo flies under it, and jumps up to hit one of the grey blocks forming the platfrom. The timing is PERFECT; Tiger, being positioned right above the platform, is nailed by the force of the moved block and is stopped in his tracks. Taccy now comes down on the platform, arms a hammer and bats Tiger away, damaging him hard at the same time. Tiger is now at minimal vitality. "How was that, Taccy?" "Good. *urgh* Keep it up..." "Taccy, you're hurt!" "I'm fine... We have to beat these guys, though." It is at this time that Texas re-enters the battle-- soaring down from the sky engulfed in a mega fireball at 120 MPH. Taccy and Birdo notice this detail... "That ain't good. Take on Tiger." "Taccy, be careful!" Taccy flies toward the meteor Boo as Birdo takes on Tiger. The first thing Birdo has to deal with are two high-speed magma balls fired from Tiger's mouth. Birdo isn't fast enough to dodge them both, and the second one gets her good. "Ouch! ...Hmhm, that barely hurt!" "What?" "FIREBALLS!!" Birdo retalliates with a barrage of fireballs. Tiger knows only a few more hits would finish him off, so he whips his tail around in front of his head as a shield. His tail is only one fireball long now, but it should suffice as an effective shield... It works. Meanwhile, Taccy flies at the fire-engulfed Texas, preparing to set his attack into motion... At the last second, he leaps backward off his platform, and the platform slams into Texas. But the Boo keeps shooting down to earth, only with a grey block platform in front of his eyes. He starts to swerve in random directions, no longer heading to the ground, but now heading EVERYWHERE, like an out-of-control fire hose. "I can't see! ...I can't SEE!" Taccy sails backwards through the air, platformless... then he whistles and his platform automatically returns to him, letting the Boo see once again... The sudden light blinds him and he stops in his tracks. Taccy then flies at him, hammer equipped, divebombs and swoops up, flinging the hammer down as he does, which spins like a metal wheel and smashes the stunned Boo so hard he flies backward. It was a MAJORLY powerful attack, and the Boo is now at low HP. "Am I still a panzie? C'mon, speak up." "Urgh... I'll get you!" They continue to go at it. Meanwhile, Birdo couldn't keep up her fire barrage forever, and Tiger couldn't keep up his sheild forever, so the moment the barrage stops, Tiger fires his last fireball at Bido, who dodges barely. Now Tiger has NO fireballs left, and so... "30 seconds. God, Texas, hurry up and get over here..." Birdo now starts firing eggs at the injured Chomp. Tiger flies backward and upwards to get away, and Birdo begins chasing it. "Get back here!" "You got it." Tiger suddenly reverses direction and slams into Birdo. He is heavy AND white-hot, and Birdo is badly burned. "GYAAH!!" That took a considerable chunk out of Birdo's HP, but she's still got plenty left. She throws Tiger off and fires more eggs, but once again the barrage misses... Tiger seems to be escaping, and is heading towards Texas as fast as possible. 20 seconds. Taccy and Texas keep charging each-other, Texas with his fire-tackle and Taccy holding a hammer as a weapon. They're both at minimal vitality by the time Tiger runs in on the scene. "TEX! I'm outta fire and I got 15 SECONDS!!" "Holy geez! Okay, I'm-a help ya out..." "No ya don't, pal. Birdo, intercept." "Got it!" Birdo fires a high-powered egg right at Texas, who is nailed dead-on and falls to earth, KO'd. "Uh-oh... 10 seconds. If I go down I'll take you both WITH ME!" Tiger starts spinning fast, and barreling towards Taccy, homing in on him. Taccy tries flying away, but Tiger's faster... 5 seconds. Finally, Birdo fires an egg at it, attemting to silence it for good... but the egg shatters against Tiger's spinning body without harming him. "BRACE YOURSELF!" Tiger rockets toward the two fleeing policemen... 3... 2... 1... KY-SHAHHHHHHHHHH PWAVOOOOOOOOO!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Silence echoes acorss the sky... they're both gone. The battle ended in a perfect tie. So... wondering what to do? We've never had a tie before, and to be honest we probably never will again. Since the Tournament is about to start and some of you need coins, I've decided to give everyone double what they bet in this fight (not triple, since it was a tie). EVERYONE. The coin results are listed a little further down, so don't worry. And NOW... The Super Mario Battle Arena TOURNAMENT!!! Here is how the game will work. All of you, pay close attention. Now... First, I will add 100 coins to every better's total, so nobody is negative, as well as list them in order of coins. Coin Count: Captain moneybags + 370 BabyBowser + 270 Sukasa + 230 MarioMaster + 205 Peardian + 155 Luigi fan + 150 fabio + 140 APH Striker + 140 LizardKing + 130 Creampie + 125 Ice Ranger + 120 Magikoopa Myster + 120 High Flyin' Ryan + 115 marionuthead + 110 Xeodious + 110 Yoshi Dude + 110 Neko + 110 Fettster + 105 (You were listed twice...) AmIBored + 100 Kamek77 + 80 Koneko + 80 Tamarin Canalis + 70 Invader Pie + 70 Shadow + 70 Shadic + 50 Raccoon Man + 30 RYjet911 + 0 The more coins you have, the better off you are. Now... The first thing that you will need to do is form 8 groups, no more, no less. Each group has to have at least 3 people, or 2 if we're running low. I don't care who is in your group, really, but just know that I need you all to find people to group up with, now! Discuss it in this thread, or PMs, or whatever works. Once you have all the members of your group (at least 3, or 2 if we're running low), you must, TOGETHER, choose ONE Mario creature from a game I can rip sprites from, and report your group descision to me in a PM (not this thread, because I'll post them all at once). (If I find out that you haven't all agreed on the creature, it will be scrapped until I get EVERYONE's OK from that group. You really need to work as a team.) You may also want a variation (aka. Dark Flurry, Fire Boo, or something brand new like a Thunder Raven or Earth Koopa, be creative!), and for variations, all you have to do is post the variation name along with your group descision. There are some rules for desciding on a creature, though. 1) NO bosses or famous characters (like Mario, Wart, Cackletta, etc.) 2) NO large and/or indistructable characters (like Shark Chomp, Salvo the Slime, etc.) 3) Use common sense. This creature has to be good enough to make it through 3 battles, so when choosing, remember the character's strengths and weaknesses. Variations are tricky, because you have to post some of their special abilities when you post them as a descision. So... 4) Nothing uber-powerful (say, Doom Goomba which KO's anyone in one hit, etc.) Use common sense again. (You can give them a high Attack, yes, but remember that no matter who you are, all strengths come with weaknesses.) 5) Nothing stupid (you can figure this one out). Think in terms of the battle more than anything. Remember, I still have to write the battles. So, when you post a character, what info do I need? I'll tell you. -Name, -What creature it is, -Age (optional) -Gender -A short history on your character (think about his/her past, and why and how the character came to be in the Tournament) BE CREATIVE HERE. I may be awarding bonus coins to groups with highly creative bios. Once all 8 groups are ready and have PM'd me with this information, I will post them all at once and come up with the Tournament Ladder. The positions your characters will be in are totally randomized, by the way. Once you have a clear look at who's going to fight who, the real fun begins. In 2 weeks, tons of things could happen. First, you have 2 shops open; the Gear Shop and the Ally Shop. The Gear Shop is a special store where you can trade coins for items and badges. Since your coins are not combined together when you're in your groups, if you all decide on an item, you have to work out who's paying for what. Catch: You can have a maximum of 3 items with you, and only 1 badge. You can sell items and bages back to the shop for half price if all group members approve. Items have a 1-time use effect in battle, and your character may use the item at any time. Badges have a passive effect that is always in play no matter what. Some badges may be effective OUTSIDE of battle, too! You'll see... The Gear Shop changes stock after each match.The Ally Shop works a bit differently. You can buy team members to help you fight the battles! A HUGE selection of team members are up for grabs, but once an ally is bought it doesn't come back. (This means that if there's only 1 of a cool ally in the shop, and you buy it, you can't get a 2nd one.) Allies are usually a little more expensive than items and badges. Notice there are no variations of any creature... Getting a variations requires patience and luck, and more will be described later. The Ally Shop adds new allies to it's stock after each battle, but doesn't lose the old stock. You can have a maximum of 3 allies in the team, so that's 4 characters total. This part is the most important part right here-- Things may happen inside the Tournament Dome each day. You will need some heavy creative writing skills to partake in some of the events. You and your creature may find some cool mini-adventures to partake on inside the Dome... Suppose you had something like this that came up... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As the Ladder results were about to be posted, nobody noticed a little girl sitting in the corner of the room, crying. She was holding a basket and looked very worried. Okay, here's your opportunity! On your next post, add something to this in the same style. Like this: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Seeing the girl, I began to wonder if something was wrong. I walked over to her and sat down. "What's the matter?" I asked... You could be a bit creative and add something about your creature, too. Tayoh the Paragoomba followed me, walking quickly to see if the girl was alright. "Uh-oh... You okay?" Tayoh added, seemingly worried as well. With this technique, you have officially entered a Mini Plot. A Mini Plot is usually a small story-like adventure that lasts for a few days, and most often your character will heavily benefit from these Mini Plots. On some occasions, there will be harmful effects, and in rare cases you may even have an out-of-tournament with an NPC before the tourney fight starts! In these cases, you will get huge bonuses, sometimes even powerful allies. But NONE of this is biased... First one to enter the Mini Plot has the shot at earning the bonus. This creative writing technique is not just optional, either-- If you don't take any Mini Plots, fine... but when your next battle is coming up, your creature will be depending on you for advice. Give your character advice, guys! And since you're in groups, the more advice the better. You'll already know who you're fighting, so try a post like this... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Geez, I'm nervous..." Tayoh said, a bit worried. "The fight starts tomorrow, and I'm shakin' like a rookie. I've never fought a Parabeetle before..." "Tayoh, relax," I assured him. "I'll help you out. You can still flip a Parabeetle in midair, you just need to dive fast enough." "Really?" "Here, try this... Take the fight lower to the ground if possible. Then quickly swoop up and shower it with a Micro Goomba battalion. The higher up you are, the more advantage your foe has." "I'll remember that... Say, you hungry?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Something like this would work. A creative post emulating a converstaion with you and your character. You can also add other members of your group, or the group members could chime in at any time. Takes a while to get used to this technique, but you'll all master it in time, I promise. You're talking to a professional Sim-Battler, after all, someone who eats creative writing for breakfast. The advice you give or don't give your character will HEAVILY influence his or her actions in battle. Remember that. If you tell it to play devensive, it will. If one group member says one thing and another one says another, it will confuse your character. Actions taken in Mini Plots will also affect your character. And your Allies, which you bought at the shop and/or earned in a Mini Plot, will also be asking for your advice. Your Allies may also have an emotional effect on your main character, which also alters how he does in battle, either for better or for worse. And finally, when a battle is going to take place in 2 weeks... Everyone who is not a part of the fighting characters may, of course, bet on who will win! 1st Round matches are double coins, 2nd Round is triple coins, Finals is quadruple coins. Everyone who takes place in the Tournament, in any way, shape or form, will earn a prize of some sort. The grand champion team will earn the best prize, or course, and it's not just coins. (You'll see...) I may even get Peardian to draw up a picture of a gold trophy for the winner to boot. We'll see, though...If anyone has any other questions about the tournament, ask away. In the meantime, get to your groups, come up with a creature to bond to, COOPERATE, and have fun! I am Schwa, and I approve this message. P.S. In case you haven't noticed, you will probably need to spend a bit more time online until the tourney is over, so you don't miss anything. Edit: Fixed the Coin Count. Thanks Sukasa.

| As Janus prepares his attack with his short speech, the small spheres fly from all around and gather back to Yiusi's right hand, forming into a whole thing again. It is now glowing brightly. "I've always loved Oracle energy," she adds as Janus slides, throwing the ball right at him. It moves faster than usual, and if it hits the damage would be a small bit larger... If the ball connected with Janus's hammer in any way, Janus would receive a powerful shock and take double damage. The reason for this: After Janus batted the spheres away, each sphere that was batted read data on Janus's hammer... and it has now adapted to this particular fighting style by adjusting it's own energy signature to combat his hammer style. Yiusi's intention would be to stop Janus in his tracks with the ball, but if the ball doesn't stop him, the trip would be successful, and Yiusi would TRY to roll back onto her feet as quickly as possible. |

Thanks, Grey.  Okay, Seph, I'm terribly sorry but I'm gonna have to stun you with this one... Having high-functioning Autism or Aspurger's, like you say you have, is LOADS better than not having it. Full blown Autism isn't really better, because you're locked in your own mind for all eternity and that's not really a benefit...   But if you've got high-functioning Autism, or if you are an Aspie (like ME ^,^), it is loads better, for this one reason: You're a master of two worlds. Listen, Seph... You are living in two planes of existance! You and I have the mind of a normal person, yet we can see the word through the eyes of an Autistic. THAT, my friend, is in reality, mastering 2 worlds.Catch: We've got life a bit harder, especially when compared to "normal" people, because we are "partially locked", let's say... but Autism, whether full-blown or high-functioning, makes a person brilliant in some way, because with Autism comes some kind of talent, most of the time. For me, it's writing and computer skills. I'm willing to bet it all that you've got some kind of awesome talent... I know for a fact you do, judging by your post style. Number two: It is a SOCIAL impairment, nothing more. This is ALSO a good thing in some ways. Take me for example. I've spent my entire life up until 10th Grade in self-contained SpEd classrooms. What kinds of things did they teach me, ya think? They touched up on academic issues only very minimally. Academically I was already smarter than any of my teachers. What the teachers focused on 95% those years were social skills, even basic ones such as "how to make friends" or "what is respect", or crud like that... And did I understand any of it? You can bet not! Not a single bit! And I was an 8th Grader, for Christ sake! But how is that a good thing? I'll tell you... They spent extra time on that with me, so when I finally got it, I got it GOOD. Now I'm the other extreme; so social they can't get me to stop. You always have to find the silver lining, Seph. No matter what you're doing, the silver lining is there. You're right when you say Autistics didn't ask for what they have, but in reality I would choose this path over any other. From birth, let's say I have traded parts of myself for different parts. I've determined that the benefits outweigh the negatives, though some quirks like hypersensitive skin and inability to handle noise and schedule changes, DO get annoying... but trials teach us, and thanks to these trials, I have a generally higher level of insight then without them. To Wlokos: Your friend's brother CAN talk, he just chooses not to. Some Autistics have a mental retardation as well, but only in rare cases (Fragile X Syndrome). Find something he can relate to you with and you may be able to achieve some level of communication with him. I worked 1 on 1 with a Fully Autistic high-schooler who didn't talk... I knew him for an entire semester, and one day he finally said "Sure". But nothing else, ever. They can talk, but they just live inside their own heads and I believe the world may be too fast-paced for them to choose not to withdraw. Back to Seph: I had no idea you were an Aspie, but it makes sense now... Since I am as well, that makes you and I brothers. I respect you for that, pal. |

| To MarioMaster: FYI, you don't choose a creature UNTIL you're in the group. The entire group has to decide on one creature to fight for them all. So... scrapped. | |||

| "You're fast..." The ball hovers and corkscrews around Yiusi, not in her shield maneuver but in a different, more dazzling performance... The ball leaves a trail of sparkling air behind it, enshrouding Yiusi with stars, and then Yiusi jumps seemingly straight up, leaving a trail of sparkling could behind her. The Hammerhead, probably moving in a straight line, misses her... but Janus, of course, has the option of changing course and following her in the air. If he does: Being caught in the glitter stings and does tiny damage, but it goes away after a while. Janus would have to be careful not to fly through the sparkling clouds. Either way: Yiusi's jump brings her high in the air and lands her on the other edge of the building, then the Ball stops spinning and returns to her hand. She prepares to throw it. Uh-oh... I forgot about my spiritual bond with the Yiusi Ball. I feel it growing, taking over." Yiusi reminds herself that in a bit of turns or so, she'll merge with her Ball. (She can't help it once she gets in battle; the ball and her soul automatically begin fusing slowly the moment she or her foe makes the first move.)(For more info on the merge, check Yiusi's Profile.) |

| Schwa takes it all in as he flies. Then, "I'll get 'im both." (Of course, right before he entered the pyramid...) As Janus explored the pyramid, fought Evan and got his arse kicked, Schwa focused on detecting Yiusi and Tuxydon... Funny thing was Yiusi was right underneath him. Meanwhile, in a field of flowers... "Hey...! Isn't that Schwa?" "Yiusi, is that you? Oh God, I'm lucky to find you..." He touches down. "Hello, Oracle. Long time no see... Uh, sorry for bugging you again, but--" "Another Buster Beetle problem, right?" "Not at all. We need you for something else... Uh, it has to do with the security of our home planet. Kind of a big thing." "Well, I'll help you. It's about time I start doing something big... After all, if it's up to me to make my OWN destiny, I'm gonna need something to show off to the other Oracles when I return home! Where we goin'?" Schwa summons a Psi Disc emitting cream-colored ether. "Hop on, we need Tuxydon too..." "Uh-oh, not him..." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Don't be difficult, old man... Come ON, we need your help!" "'We'? There is no 'We' in Tuxydon. I am a lone wolf... A solitary eagle... A secluded tapir, call it anything you want, I am NOT helping you." "A secluded tapir!?" Yiusi exclaims. Schwa rolls his eyes. "Janus is a lone wolf too, that doesn't stop him from--" Schwa doesn't get to finish his sentence. One fine-tuned Chaos Gadget is on it's way to him. Schwa jumps back as the mini-bomb explodes into an earth-arrowhead, an air-blast and a plasma bolt, which Schwa dodges but barely. He then retalliates. "Alpha Psibeam!" (echo effects) "Chaos Psibeam!" (echo effects) They fire their projectiles, and being polar opposite elements, the result is a megaton explosion. Yiusi shields Schwa with the Yiusi Ball's shield, and Tuxydon, not being so lucky to have an ally, is thrown backward. He gets up and arms the Shark's Maw, a peculiar knife shaped like the mouth of a shark when viewed from it's side. "I don't care if I use my last breath of life fighting you, I'm not going to help you." "Fine! Settled! Yiusi, let's get outta here." "Wha? You're giving up?" "Yiusi, there's no point in forcing someone to do Good things against their will. If Tuxydon chooses to be Evil, that's on him. Let's get outta here." They fly off... Tuxydon stares at the two ether streaks in the sky as if they're a bad taste in his mouth. "Evil my ass!!" he yells to the sky, angrily. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "So, now it's off to see Janus, right?" Yiusi says to Schwa as they fly. "No, no that won't work. He needs some space for this mission and we're supposed to meet up with him in a few days." "Aw, that's too bad... I wanted to see him again! He's just so awesome..." "Whoa, 'again'? You've seen him? ...Yiusi, snap out of it! You're drifting lower!" Yiusi's Psi Disc regains the altitude it lost. "Oops, sorry! I was daydreaming..." "You don't have a crush on him, do you? I hope not." "Wayll... Hard to say. Uh, Schwa, where are we touching down? This leads to the ocean." Schwa looks up and sees an ocean ahead of them. He notices buildings on the shore, big ones... but not skyscrapers. "Some kind of port is down there, let's touch down there." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "5 degrees left. Locked on! Fire!" The red button is pressed hard, and in no time at all 3 guided missiles are on their way to Schwa and Yiusi. That kind of thing happens... when you intrude the air-space of a military base... |

| OOC: So far so good... Great intros, guys. Schwa turns to Kire, then to the fast-approaching Dracoon and Stacie... "Perfect, more help." He waits until they have come within range, then starts his shpiel. "Okay, listen guys... and girls... I've detected an alien meteor in the mountains to the north." He points. "ANYthing can happen with alien meteors... Thing is, when they hit, you never know what they're made out of, where they came from, any details or data... Put short: You don't mess around with them. "Thing is, it seems almost as if I've sensed this kind of energy somewhere... so I've decided to check it out. Now I ask you... Who's coming, and who's bored?" Schwa backflips, summoning a Psi Disc under him, and floats in the air on his disc. He waits for the others to approve and follow him before heading off towards the mountains... |

| Beautiful! First team officially formed. As for how many can join: Minimum 3, and let's try to keep it no higher than 3 until all 8 teams are ready... Then the sky's the limit. However, the idea is to have all the teams with as close to the same number of people as possible. To Team A: Now you should discuss a Creature to choose via PMs. One of you should PM me your Creature data after all of you have agreed upon the right one. And to all: It doesn't have to be from SMAS, SMW or YI, you know! But if it's not, you MUST post me an SNES-style sprite of the desired creature, even if they don't come on SNES. That's the challenge... If your group wants something like, say, a Koopatrol, which is not found on an SNES game, you still need to come up with an SNES-style sprite... which means that either one of you is going to have to be creative and draw one, or you gotta find it somewhere on the Internet (and if it's been done by someone else, give credit). If it's not SNES-style but it is found on a lower-platform only (like Game Boy), send me the sprite and I'll "revamp" it to make it look All-Stars style. (Peardian could do it better, but don't bug him-- he's a busy guy. Looks after a sprite comic, daily artwork, wallpapers, and more.) Team A: -fabio -Luigi fan -MarioMaster Creature: --- |

| OOC: Okay, I'm going to add a brand new twist to this fight. Introducing Schwa's Alter Ego (kind of)! He has some brand new attacks in this state, and his stat charts are a whole lot more jagged (uneven). You'll eventually see his new weaknesses in time. So... Wait for Teddylot, then we begin? Great! A wavering form appears in the center of the area, which soon materializes into Schwa. He is wearing his "dress uniform"; unlike the white, loose, robelike clothes, these threads consist of a navy blue uniform with a thick blue stripe from the right shoulder to the left side of the waist. Schwa still wears his black blindfold. "Hiya, Shtar..." Schwa begins. Something's odd about his voice... "Sho, ya'v been inta anything INTERESTING lately? Run outta woilds ta shave?" It's undoubtedly clear that Schwa... is drunk! "Guh, yeah, and I'm-a wait for Teddy an' DEN we begin an' open-a can o' whoop-ash! Da!" Schwa's face is beat red and his hands are emitting a mixture of blue and maroon ether. It's an ugly combination. "Heya, Shtar... Yah remind me of a guy I vonshe knew..." |

| To Seph: That's the spirit! To beneficii: I know a few Aspie girls, actually. I met them at college. I also met Dawn Prince Hughes in person and got to give her a hug. (Google it. She's one of my heroes.) To firemaker: Remember, an impairment, by definition, is an area of skill that has been lowered... but of course, not to the extent that it can't be overcome. From the sounds of it, you control yours very well. And I totally get that whole baseball/cars thing... I know NOTHING about sports OR cars, save badmitton, yet I'm into writing Webpages in code. I guess you could call our "stat charts jagged". Regarding Dracoon: When I made that origional thread, I was still a n00b at forum routine, and when I think back I've decided that I wanted to fit a LOT more in that thread than I got to. To myself: Wow, I don't often post in Officer's Club... but gimmie a subject I can relate to and POW, I'm off! |

| "I like your style as well," she says after back on the cement. She holds the Yiusi Ball like a baseball pitcher. "Okay, this one's in gratitude of Schwa... Dimmension Ball!" And she throws a fastball to Janus, but this time the Ball is glowing purple. Should it come 5 feet from Janus, it'll become a small explosion of raw psychic energy (variable damage), then return to Yiusi's hand in normal ball form. "Keep this up! I feel alive!" |

| OOC: To me99909: One, we haven't reached the meteor yet. Two, it is not an enemy so you shouldn't attack it. So far we're still on our way towards it. Schwa reaches the mountain base, the others following him minus Cresleant and the Lizard Bros. (who both apparently haven't met up with Schwa yet). As he gets closer, he holds his head. "Gahhhhh... This energy is way too powerful. I'm not going to be able to make it right up there at this rate. Guys, do you feel it too, or what? ....And it's so familiar! This is starting to scare me..." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Meanwhile... "Beautiful. All three girls, right here in front of me... Helpless to escape..." "Who are you?" "I am Zuel." One of the taller figures next to Ami puts her hand on Ami's shoulder. "Ssh, you shouldn't ask so many questions. He's a bad guy." "I am not afraid. Zuel, why am I here? I cannot move." "But of course... If you could move, you'd escape. And I can't have that, no sir. You see, Amiachi... You are a very special little girl." "I know." "Good. A unique cosmic energy flows through your body... and Saria's, and Ryia's as well. Amiachi... You haven't fully unlocked your power yet. Don't you find that... sad?" "...." |

| "Ah, vhayah'd da Teddy Beah go? Ah, I shee yah like fiahwoiks..." Drunken Schwa just stares right at the incoming storm attacks. "Ooh, pweety! Da, wait, dis ish goinna HOIT, ain't eet?" They strike Schwa, and he doesn't even have his protective ether up! Schwa comes out of the attack coated with ash, but he looks like he didn't even take any damage. "Fhelt like a jakoozie!" Reality: Schwa did take damage, but it was reduced by half (for some reason, think Dracoon ) and Schwa felt NO pain. Still, it seemed to be a strong attack anyway, so even cut by half the damage was reasonable. However, if there is no pain to hinder Schwa, he'll have a much easier time fighting."Ooookhay den! I kin play dat gahme too! Lesh see... Psi Crush Alpha!" (weird echo) Schwa pulls out some brand spankin' new attack out of nowhere. He glows maroon for a moment, then there is a slight rumble... 5 seconds later, a large mahogany spear of ether/earth shoots out of the ground right from underneath Star. 2 more spears appear following this one in 3 second intervals. Should it connect in any way, negative energies will burn at Star for a while. Overall, the damage from this attack is a little below average, but for some reason the pain is incredible! The blue/maroon ether around Schwa's hand is changed a little... there's a little more maroon mixed in with the blue than before. "Dahahahaha! I am da man, I attacked yah vish Psi Crush Alpha and I'm-a shtill-a goin shtrong, da!" |

| Trent's strike connects... with the Schwa statue in front of him. Schwa is nowhere in sight for now... but it's clear from Trent's practice against what he thought was Schwa, he doesn't tend to mess around. Meanwhile.... "Schwa... good morning. Sleep well?" "Good morning, Sensae. Yes I did. I had a vision as well." "Interesting. Please, by all means, share your vision." "This guy... Trent, I believe his name was... attacked me in the dark." Suddenly, Schwa's eyes widen. "Wha--! I sense him! It was a true vision! He's at the warehouse in Southwest Civitas Epsillon! He's waiting for me!" "Then you should probably go. But do whatever feels right in your heart." Schwa takes that as a 'yes'. Immediately he's on a Psi Disc, taking off from Balcony B and at a beeline towards the city of solitude, Civitas Epsillon. On his way, he tries a telepathic message, hoping it'll reach this mysterious Trent character. "Trent. Listen. I am Schwa, Psi Warrior and embodyment of Good. Please tell me, are you in the warehouse of Southwest Civitas Epsillon? If so, I am on my way to accept your challenge." Schwa flies as fast as possible across the morning sky, a blue trail of etheral energy followinng him. OOC: FYI... This is just the intro for our battle. In good battles, the fighting doesn't start immediately. You'll know when the fight really begins. Also, since you're here to practice creativity, feel free to be as creative as possible. I like it that way.And lastly... just a reminder, the only illegal moves are 1) healing moves, 2) uber-powerful moves without a drawback (you can make them uber-powerful but they HAVE to have a drawback, like charging up or damaging yourself), and 3) no controlling other people's characters. Enjoy. |
