The lights of the colony are out.
Everyone wants to get some rest for after the sun rises rain shall
start. This isn't just weather
reporter's speculation for on the colonies rain days are schedualed, they don't
take you off hand unless you aren't a resident and didn't listen to any of the
reports. The only places still
going are the ones needed to keep the colony going, and those who are setting
everything up for the rain tomorrow.
That and one garage is open.
Inside it a man, tall, born in a black coat and silver shoulder
pads. His long hair is covered with
a dew as he has been working since he came in the night before. His Gundam, the Devil-Ex, rests as the
man checks over the installation of his newest weapon, the Zantetsuken. Taking in a breath of air he turns and
glances out the window as a gloved hand comes and swipes the sweat from his
brow, a light twinkling up above but given little notice.
Having entered the colony just some hours ago, Santanus flies about
checking each garage. The pilot has
some prey in mind, and he knows his prey would be installing the sword that was
said to have been found just the day before. Two more garages to check, one with
lights still on. It has to be the
prey in that one if the prey wanted the sword upon his suit before anything
happens. The pilot of Santanus
smiles and sends his suit down to the garage, or rather two blocks away landing
as quietly as he can. No one out to
bother as he creeps along as quietly as his Gundam will allow. "So many to choose from, oh so many,"
Santanus' pilot speaks softly to himself while he already pulls out the
Vendetta, a blade that should slice nicely through the
door.
Nicely it did slice through.
Before the man working upon his Gundam knew it as he sat on the open door
of his Gundam getting some rest, the garage doors were cut in four with two
strokes and two missiles smashing into the far end of the wall. They only hit two parked Leo's, but
those in turn have their generators blow sending the surrounding three up as
well and the back wall completely off.
Stepping into the garage Santanus scans the screens, halfway
dissapointed, halfway happy that he'll still recieve a fight upon seeing his
prey's Gundam door close. Squaring
off he sets up a link with his prey, "Well Sephiroth, how did you like my
greeting. I hope you don't mind,
but being you turned down my offer to battle, I thought I'd force you
to."
"The wake up call was a bit rude, and you could have at least brought me
some breakfast Sharpie." Sephiroth
rubs his bruised left cheek, surprisingly the only damage he recieved from the
greeting besides some burnt hair.
"Then again, I wouldn't expect one of your intelligence to be able to
save enough money to buy even a microwaved meal at a gas
station."
Sharpie growls and turns off the video though leaves open the voice chat
with Sephiroth. "You'll pay for
that comment!" Santanus' boosters
start as he flies forward through burning rubble to Devil-Ex. Vendetta in Santanus' right hand held to
the left, coming closer bringing the arm around in an upward slash. Devil-Ex though wasn't just going to sit
with pilot inside praying before allowing death to burst through the door. Retractable Blade flipping out of
Devil-Ex, he blocks the blow with his retractable blade, working for this time
but with the power of Vendetta the blade brakes. His Buster Shield comes forward on the
left arm smashing into the suit of Santanus, the blow being enough to cause
Santanus to stumble backwards allowing Devil-Ex to pull out it's Beam
Sword.
Taking use of this chance, Santanus in turn tosses the Vendetta to the
left hand as the right pulls out Excaliber. "Not bad if I must say so
Sephiroth. You really are stronger
then I am, though saddly, that seems to be the only thing you out do my leetness
with." With a chuckle Sharpie turns
on his chest vulcans, seeing them begin to turn Sephiroth brings his buster
shield before him to block what he can with his damaged shield but no bullets
come. The thing had been a
decoy. Sharpie's leg missiles open
again sending off two more missiles going and blowing the legs of Devil-Ex to
nothing useful. The explosion going
about Devil-Ex's frame covering the suit from sight. "Guess my work is done with here," he
says to himself while putting away the Vendetta.
Yet he should not have spoken to soon. As the smoke from the blast begins to
clear the Beam Saber can be seen destroyed by the explosion and part of a
suit. The thing though is getting
bigger as Sephiroth goes towards Sharpie with the upper half of his frame. Luck may have allowed him to live for
now. Though he had tried to make it
without using his new weapon, the time surely has come. "DAMN YOU
SHARPIE!"
With the glint of blade rising through the smoke Sharpie wastes no
time. In a moment he switches on
all his vulcans, sends off the remaining 11 shadow missiles as well as aims his
left dragon fang at Devil-Ex emerging it with the barrage of attacks, with one
final kick to add. A beam of light
comes down through the ceiling of the garage as holy wrath smites Devil-Ex,
Zantetsuken coming down with Genocide slash set. Saddly though, the blow never struck
Santanus as the barrage blew Devil-Ex and it's pilot to nothing, just one sword
length from Santanus.
About the colony in the now emerging grey light, the garage blows apart
to nothing but rubble and flames.
The rain begins to come down gently and within a moment in a down pour as
sirens from several police stations, ambulances, and most of all fire
departments around the area grow closer together at that point. The rain alone can't stop the flames of
the former garage, nor even those of the surrounding buildings that caught
fire. That peaceful colony, now wet
and dreary with dancing red.
[RECAP: Sharpie used all 15 shadow missiles that
were upon his Gundam and quite a bit of the fuel for his Dragon Fang. Sephiroth had a damaged Buster Shield, a
broken Beam Saber, and a broken retractable blade. Sephiroth is dead. As for Sharpie, I'll let the webmaster
decide over his fait from this battle.]
