Lords of Creation (Story Thread 2)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The voice startled Crav. He managed to mumble a question. "W-who's there?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"I mean, wow!" Said the Veteran, stepping out from behind him. "You know, I was just commin to get this thing, y'know, train my girls in how to fight something rock monster sized? But this....this is....this is beautiful is what this is. Oh man, how did I not think of this!" He puts his hand to his head, and claps Crav on the back. "You are a genius, sir."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I was....I mean....I didn't. Oh, curse my drinking. I had not planned out doing such a thing."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Mortal, huh?" Said the Reasonable, following after Dephos into this crystal world. The Babysitter ran beside him.

After a while, she looks up and asks him a question. "Hey?"

"Yes?"

"This feel familiar at all to you?"

"What?"

"Being like, Mortal."

The Reasonable thought abut this some, searched himself, and indeed felt growing pangs of Deja-Vu. But, they were on the job.

"We can save that for later."

"So you do feel it?" She said urgently, questions lining her face.

"Look, can we just save this, please?"

"

[Zaleramancer]

"You just watched a god smite something. Give thanks that you still have eyebrows.. And that you're not a smoking pile of ash. That happens when Gods miss." Madame Gant said as she peered over Pessimal's shoulder for a better look.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"No!" It was more of an order than anything. The Veteran put his finger in Cravs face. "Do not feel sorry for this! This is amazing. The fact that you're drunk really only makes it more impressive.  You never regret it when the spirits give you a good idea! You should only regret the ideas that end with you lying in a ditch with a skull fracture, and even that can be redeemed if the lead up was something really cool."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Ahh, but what did he smite? Torbin, could you see?"

"Looked like he was aiming for the sword."

Pessimal considered this. "Miss Wen Mai, do you happen to know anything about the weapon Miss Kagehana wields.?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I...suppose.....so. Wait, wait.....this is good. This might actually be a solution to my problem."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Hell yes, that's the spirit! Turn even the thing you didn't want to happen to you advantage. Sometimes life gives you lemons, and you make delicious lemonade. But sometimes life will give you crap, and when that happens you coat your weapons with it and toss the rest in the enemies water supply!"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Having a god that's handy with machine could be just what Aox needs. It's my fault he lost his hand and I;m going to make things right"

The newly created god finally speaks up. "You know I'm still here right?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"And I am so happy to be able to greet you into this world." He says, turning his attention to the new god. "You know, I was there when you were born. I mean, y'know, as a building. Also, as a robot. So really, I've been at your birth three different times."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"So, you're like my...Uncle? or something?" asked the new god.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Man, I guess. I dunno, it was really kind of this other gods idea in the first place. But my big sis provided the bucket, and I'm pretty sure I'm the reason you have so many traps in you. But this guy," he put his arm around Crav, "he's the one that put in all your piping and utility stuff. Also, brought you to life."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The new god shrank down to Crav and the Vet's size. All the many gears and traps within him compacted neatly. When he was done the only thing the remained large was a gear the protruded from his shoulder.

"Well, I thank both of you. I am a live. You are Crav, my...creator and you are.....?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"OH, you probably don't recognize me. I was a hell of a lot thinner last time I was here. Hahahahahahahah!" He put's out his hand. "The Veteran, pleased as hell to meet you!"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I am very pleased to meet you as well."

Crav spoke up, "Yes yes, we're all very happy to meet each other. But I have a hero to help."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Well then what are you doing out here, man? Seize the moment!" The Veteran caps this off with a thumbs up.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I still don't know if I'm imagining this....Nevermind. Von Trapt, let's go."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The Veteran waved as the two tromped away back to the arena. When they were out of sight, he turned and faced the army of insects who had watched the entire affair.

"And that, girls, is how you motivate a sadsack! Now, lets go into tunneling drills..."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(3 motes previously +3 motes, Total: 6 motes)

Wen Mai: "A little bit. As a strong Kata I have a few more capabilities than others, but as I recall from what Hikaru was saying since the Light-Scarred were created first they were given a few minutes more to learn a bit about the world and Lady Mina's lands and creations. So, according to what Hikaru said that Suna told her, Kagehana wields two Artifacts. The first one is called Kagenobara and the second is the Clone-Blade. As for their capabilities, I leave that for you to find out from Kagehana herself."

---------------------------------------

Kagehana and Hikaru go to an arena in the Entertainment District that is empty and Hikaru asks, "So, what is it that you need to train right now?"

Kagehana: "Lady Mina gave me the power to control light, but I'm not too good at it yet. As I'm a Shadow-Scarred and my normal racial power is shadow manipulation, and you are a Light-Scarred, I figured you could help me on this."

Hikaru: "Yaaaay♪! Let's get started then. We'll do this training similar to the tournament fights then."

Kagehana: "You're on!"

Light blossoms forth around the two as they start the training session.
