Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sogue took the line drive to his jawline, blood and cheek matter flew through the air as he spat.

He wiped his face as Zedo stood ready, beckoning him, "Whenever you're ready," he said sincerly.

Sogue wasn't happy about looking weak. He moved tersly, deftly, plodding quickly toward Zedo. He leaped upward, not far, but enough, to kick at his opponent's head.

"What wall?" Joa Boo returned as he fell through it, bringing his massive scythe down hard and fast with such power it whistled through the air. He too moved the elements but as long as there was light, he had shadows, and as long as he had shadows, there would be no elements against him but light.

The force and strength of his body built with the swipe through the air and as potential decreased, the power behind his blow increased. Both feet planted on to the ground and without a second thought of his first swipe twisted his weight hard to the left and bent his body to create the first swing into a combo with the blade bending with his body and cutting to the left. Joa Boo spun into a whirl and caught himself on a dot. His left hand pointing straight into the air for a strange magnetic balance that connected him to the hard floor.

"You wont get to see the warrior today, just the lycan." Joa Boo made out in a monotone and his voice shook through the air like it could be heard from all surroundings. His body was still and bent in a stance with the blade of the scythe far out to the left while his body, on one foot and the left hand in the air, motionless.

He breathed and kicked off the ground letting go of the scythe, it vanished into the shadows with a puff of purle smoke as a sharp double sided pike appeared above him and twisted like a fan moving quickly as it met with the finger tips of the slowly raising Joa Boo. He growled furiously and smacked the ground hard with the blade of his pike once he fell back to the ground. his feet landed gently and moved with swiftness along the floor with a waving combo of spinning the pike in various directions to slay his enemy.

(we might have to keep low on the puppetry because neither of us know very much about each others characters....later on to make this more interesting we could get into that...this is safer for both you and me man))

((no man, don't look at it as a problem, it is a good habit for role-players, it's just that we don't know enough about each others characters to be successful in using this technique to make our fight more interesting. we may however be able to do some of that further into the battle if we talk and learn a bit about the fighters.))

Joa Boo saw this as a perfect opportunity to strike and flung himself forward with his pike parallel to his body and slides underneath Ace, who was in the air. This gave him the best strike he could ask for, as soon as he was perfectly under he flipped his pike upward at the backside of Ace and hoping to give a critical reality check.

The monstrous warrior didn't stop there, the force of his movement led him all the way to the wall. Once he feet touched the side he pushed off the ground with a powerful kick and started at a run up the side of the wall. With his feet and arms pumping he made it to the ceiling and then again kicked off of that with such force he shot at an angle from the top half of the field to the other with his pike out to a point like a bullet.

((This is being scratched...sorry man...to much puppet mastery...Joa Boo does read minds and I even read that coming from reading you post

What he didn't expect, however, was that at that precise moment, Felix came down to meet Ace's left hand, and Ace plunged it deep into Joa-Boo's right shoulder. Joa-Boo let out a scream of pain and punched Ace, sending him flying back. Ace landed on his feet gracefully, sliding across the tiled floor, and quickly wiped the dark blood on his blade.

that is the orignal post and it will be altered))



Joa Boo called the attack and knew there was a bluff. As soon as Felix shot forward Joa Boo pulled his scythe from out of the shadows and met the blade with an even stronger weapon. Joa Boo in a fury kicked up into the air, doing a flip and landed legs spread apart high on the pillars. Both of his weapons vanished into the shadows and he pulled his hand cannon which he trained to a point on the moving Ace. He took a few shots and powered his radiation. A massive build up of dark purple energy with an electric discharge began forming against the unused hand, his left, which he pulled back away from him to bend the power for more control. Then with a small laugh and wink of his eye it lifted from him onto the ceiling and was gone.

Joa Boo dropped form his perch and as he feel pulled the pike again form the shadows. Ace moved strategically and attacked offensively. Joa Boo had the upper hand with a long range weapon and was able to keep Ace at bay with simple bends and parries of his weapon. The twisting and power increased as suddenly the ceiling tore from the building and opened to a massive full moon high in the sky.

"Pray for mercy my fellow fighter." Joa Boo said, the beast building in him.

((Oh don't worry about it man...just wanting to let you know at least for my taste you took it a little to far. That's why I just stay clear form saying what someone else might do....keeps me out of trouble...lol))

Joa Boo's body became something else. It was strong and build, like always but something different moved through him. With every stroke of his pike he seemed to grow, one, two, three feet taller then before, making him a good 9 feet and 10 inches tall.

At a sudden moment of uncontrollable twitching and phantom like movement, Joa Boo shot up against the ceiling and hung there, connected to the wall. His armor melted into the shadows with a puff of purple steam and the open flesh waited, clean and moving. Joa Boo's eyes rolled back into his head and his left eye completely sank inward, replaced by a demonic symbol of judgment with a gaping black whole forever sucking in negative energy. ((this has no significance to his powers, just looks cool))

His skin, dark and muscular lurched on it's own hinge and then with a crazy furry Joa Boo began to rip it off of him as if it was painful to wear. Then just as the flesh feel away it was replaced by a thick forests of pure black fur, stronger then the armor he was wearing before. Along the spine was a thick patch of white that cut into his curved body. Everything seemed to grow in size and strength.

Then the beast, still holding on to the pike dropped form his place in the sky and overwhelmed you with his speed and power. He moved at you with a helicopter spin of the pike and flipping himself against whatever surface he could touch. constantly coming at you. Those twitchy eyes and wolf like sense, reading into every little detail there could possibly be.

The heat of the fire bit at the ends of Joa Boo. As it moved across the field toward him he used the growing shadows produced in an effort to equal out the light given off by the flames to pull through an escape route. Joa Boo dropped through his own shadow as soon as it was big enough, just in time to avoid the full burst of the fires power. For a moment it was cold and still. The presence of Joa Boo gone left an ire silence over the torn up room.

With a puff of purple mist Joa Boo reappeared from the corners of your eye in a full assault with his cannon pistol and a wave of his pike. This technique was to keep you on your toes and herd you for a massive final attack. As soon as Joa Boo shot at least twice and swung at you with a complete thrust, all still in his lycan furry power, he was gone again in the shadows, just to disappear again into the shadows and from some where else.

Joa Boo did this with great repetition except for the location and movement of where he would appear. This made him completely unpredictable yet still just as functional and powerful with every swing and shot. The move lasted until he could feel it was the right moment to finish the furry.

Very suddenly, in your shelter of confinement you felt a tickle, an itch at you side. From within the rock sealed barrier Joa Boo stuck his hand through the shadows and tickled at your side. He laughed but you could not hear it.

"Good thinking my little friend but you are not untouchable in any fortress." Joa Boo said through grunts and growls. He let out a powerful howl as he braced himself against another pillar. His claws dug into the rock wall and held him tight against it with ease. Then Joa Boo waited. He stuck himself outright over the gaping whole in the ceiling just to make sure Ace knew right where he was.
