Grey: "Great. Just great. Janus is still missing. I didn't know I pissed him off that badly..." |
Grey paced back and forth in the wings of Sim Battle Arena B, where the next round, in which his crew was matched against the rising star Metalman, was about to begin. Kalar leaned against the wall, nursing a wound in his side tenderly. Sion's Keyblades still stung him even now. As it stood, he was in no condition to take Metalman on, which put Grey in a position where he himself might have to enter the battlefield. That'd suck, Grey was never one for fighting and he really wanted to save himself... Kalar: "It's alright, man... If I have to, I'll go out. I understand what this means to you. Janus just didn't. I'm sorry I let you down in the last round..." Grey: "No... You didn't let me down. Trust me. I just wish Janus would see that. My intentions were pure, I swear they were..." Kalar: "Just let it go for now. Janus needs to blow off some steam. He mentioned something about a trip on the Stardust Speedway as he left... He's probably living it up in Sandsalot or Los Royales now even as we speak. Give him a nice vacation. Besides, it looks like your need for a stand-in has already been answered..." Grey: "What? ..... ..... Wait, where's Garro?" Where, indeed. The dark priest stood, his spectacles reflecting the bright sun of a brisk fall day onto the astroturf that lined the arena floor. The crowds cheered at this newcomer, and he stood with his eyes closed in a meditative state, pistols blessed and holstered, and tiny black bible gripped tightly in his hands as his heavy coat kept the autumn winds out. He raised his fist to his chest, nodded his head downward slowly, and chanted... Garro: "Bless me, oh deity, for today I bring thy power to warfare... Suffering be to thine enemies, and also to mine own. I ask thee, o unnamed lord of mine, to grant me thy power and protection. Show me light and dark, balance the heavens and hells that lay in thy sight to bestow upon me your holy might..." Garro shook with fear as a soft white light began to glow within his fist. He stood perfectly still, waiting for Metal to enter the field of battle. Power. He had to think. He had to believe. Power... Grey: "Oh, shit."

Janus: "Oh... no..." |
His hunger temporarily forgotten, Janus dropped Satchel to the ground without even the slightest realization. He simply stared in awe at the destroyed temple, and swallowed. His eyes strayed over to Yiusi, who had already burst into tears. He'd seen things like this before... He knew how to keep his cool. He stepped in front of Yiusi and put a hand gently on her shoulder. "Yiusi... Yiusi, come on... Calm down, it's ok." He moved in a bit closer, and soon was holding her in his arms, letting her cry on him and trying as best he could to empathize. He could feel her tears soaking into his shirt, and stood still, letting her cry and trying to comfort her. Get the stress out now, he thought. He could feel her body shudder as she heaved sob after sob into him. Don't look at the temple. Her cries were muffled as he held her close to him in an attempt to give her a sense of security in crisis. Don't look at the temple. Janus could feel her hands gripping his clothes tightly, shaking in utter devastation and frustration. Don't look at the temple. It was almost too much for him to bear. Just let her get it out, he thought. Janus had to keep telling himself to not stare at the destruction. Just concentrate on Yiusi right now, he thought. This was her moment to grieve... But... Who would want to destroy an Oracle shrine? He couldn't help but wonder as he held Yiusi... "Shh, calm down. We're gonna find out what happened, alright? There's got to be some kind of reason for this. We're gonna find out what happened. Just try to relax, I'm here with you." He began rocking back and forth with her in his arms. Why...? Why didn't anyone notice that the building was annihilated? Did the townspeople have something to do with it? And furthermore, why was he even comforting her? Why did HE care...? A friend in need was a friend, indeed...

Grey trudged down the halls away from Sim Battle Arena B and toward the auditorium and cafeteria... If William wasn't going to do it, someone had to make the announcement... |
The sounds of Garro's battle could be heard all over the annex. Televisions featuring him, Legault, Cheesepie, Kirbynite, Sion, Jarukoth, Melvin, Metalman... They were all switching rapidly between round-the-clock coverage of each epic fight. Looking at them, Grey almost felt a sense of pride in where he was and what he was doing. There was so much to see and admire here. As the commotion involving the young Invader died down, Grey plodded to the podium and unfolded a piece of paper from his pockets. He pushed his glasses up his nose, and cleared his throat into the mic. Almost instantly, the food fight stopped. Grey: "Ladies, gentlemen, lizards, crazy alien guys, birds, bees, and various other living creatures that inhabit the Sim Battle Arena, I have some bad news. I've just recieved a notice from the higher-ups that MouseJstr, the technical owner and proprietor of the Acmlm's Board building (server) has decided to shut the building (server) down. We're being evicted (backed up) and moved to a new building (server) in five days. Until that happens, I encourage all of you to keep fighting your hardest and kicking as much ass as possible before the end comes. When it comes, all fights must be put on hold as the Annex is moved alongside the building. All scoring information, character profiles, existing battle reservations, and any other information pertaining to the Sim Battle Arena and its Story Forum counterpart will be backed up and saved. No data shall be lost. Acmlm's Board is simply shutting down until it finds a new home, which will most likely be a very short time after the building is shut down. I encourage all of you to keep battling. Never lose the spirit of the Sim Battle. Thank you, and have a nice day." He closed his eyes, turned to the side, and stepped down from the podium. It was then that he discovered just where he was. In the middle of a cafeteria, making announcements to a crew of highly-trained warriors that never got any more recognition for their powers and efforts than any other small business in the big, wide world. It angered him... When the Board moved to a new building, he'd make sure proper funding was given to the arenas. He nodded his head. Lounges for fighters, well-programmed NPC bots. Concession stands! Oh, the concession stands, and a proper assortment of props and costumes, too... But for that to happen, he would have to wait. (edited by Guilty Grey X on 09-20-05 10:42 AM)

OOC: For a short period of time, Ace's is going down. They have to move to new servers, so if the site is down for a few days, you shouldn't be alarmed. If the site's address changes altogether, then I'll be sure to email you about it, Hunt. No data will be lost, our archives will be saved and transported. We're just switching servers, I felt it necessary to inform people of this in character. In other words, Jarukoth's right: This isn't really bad news, just a general announcement. It is, however, bad news if you were planning on being active between september 25th and whenever the server finishes moving. |

Janus: "Who, Yiusi? Who's after the one in Pentalipse? Come on..." |
He can feel her cries softening in his arms, it looks like she's nearly calm again. That was a clue, the one in Pentalipse. They were on their way there, and this only meant that they had to get there that much faster. Janus backs away a bit, fearing he may be getting TOO close for comfort. He looks Yiusi in the eyes and challenges her to focus her mind. "Do you know how this might have happened?"

'Greddie: I do. But not the early episodes. Right up to about ep... 70 or so? The one where they start summoning frogs. That's when it gets ludicrous. Zabuza, Rock Lee and the five seals, Gaara vs. Sasuke... That's all good. 'Cause then, it's not Dragon Ball Z. And Orochimaru just won't die. That's not fair either. |

Grey equips his lucky badge and tosses his O-Bomb into the air... he catches it, and hurls it at Square Four, hoping to nullify the Att obstacle that lays there. He then walks to the square and claims his... prize? |

Janus: "Yiusi..." |
He furrowed his brow. Yeah, for the time being Psi energy was flowing through his body and he understood the plight that she was going through... But... "Yiusi, I'm not sure if I can or not. I know the Oracles exist, and I know Psi Warriors exist, and the Ethereal Dimension exists. I suppose if I ever do die, I'll end up in the Ethereal Dimension, it's where I chose to go when I made a pact with Death himself a long time ago... ...But I'm allying myself to a particular belief by helping you. I'm causing ripples in the space/time continuum. Keep in mind, if I do travel with you, then we WILL face dangers that you and I both may never fully understand. A power struggle that's happening behind the hearts and minds of mortals is going on even as we speak. By helping you, even for a short period of time, I'll be joining it, and that will most definitely attract some attention. I swear, I'll protect us both if it gets to us during that time, but I can't possibly ask you to count on me when I can't even count on myself in a situation like this. Think, Yiusi. Think long, and think hard about what you're asking." He snapped his fingers, and a small portal opened in front of him. Inside it, a grey stormcloud could be seen, nothing more. It was a glimpse into the Void, into the very innards of space and time. It was here that the Prime Material Plane, the Ethereal Dimension, the Pocket Dimension, the Dark Zones, and all points in between were connected... "Do you see this? It represents a turning point in history. It's clouded right now, because the outcome is entirely dependent on whether or not you are serious in asking for my help. I hate to sound arrogant, but even the smallest change in a timeline can alter it drastically, changing so many outcomes that it becomes near-mind boggling to comprehend. This is one of those changes. By allying together we'll be entering a war, and our destinies will become intertwined. After this is over, no matter what, you WILL see me again, and you may not like the circumstances of our next meeting. I can't show you the future; I don't quite know it myself. But the outcome... It may be light, or it may be dark. Choose wisely, with the mind of one who does not know which decision will lead to which." He closed the portal. Janus didn't want to see what would happen if he and Yiusi were to travel together. He was afraid of it. And he refused to let destiny tie him down... "But let it be known that if you are serious..." His heart began to beat a little faster. They had stepped out of the minor leagues and into the big leagues now. Why, thought Janus, did all of his friendships have to be borne from extreme circumstances? "...That I would be more than happy to." (restricted) | (restricted) | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
