_┗ Among the other crew members, Rashid was possibly the most impressed with how well designed and detailed that the boss had reconstructed the island into a warzone of his liking. Levitating to land on top of one of the numerous walls to see how scaled the battlefield was, his eyes widened at the notion of the size. It was truly incredible.
Even though it contains the view and the presence of a maze, it had unique sections. Sectors that Rashid safely assumed to be specifically made for each Ragna Member. He questioned himself whether this would succeed as planned but he wouldn't dare to let those thoughts come out his mouth.
Unknowingly, Klay had risen to approach him. "Rashid. Based on how the Boss is creating this fighting field for us, I'm speculating that we're going to separate the opposition down a few notches. If that would be the case, the fighter with the black hair and the fighting fury to me. I won't make the same mistake of taking it easy on him." Rashid, looked at him silently giving off a nod in agreement and understanding of his request. "It would appear that everyone that's left has some sort of gripe against a person or two among their little group. I've taken notice of the diversity, they aren't to be taken likely." A moment of silence filled the air between them. "There's more. A member among them possesses some unique abilities that I have never seen in my life. They may give you a run for your money. Physically he doesn't seem capable to keep up but this technique he used on me left me completely vulnerable and helpless. It would be smart if you take care of him yourself...""A technique?" Rashid glanced over to the Bandit. His interest was piqued at the idea of someone as vicious as Klay being rendered useless in the aftermath of a single technique. "What do you remember...?""Apparently, it seems he uses his energy to form some kind of green vortex. Once you get trapped in it, you're caught with no way to get out of it. I could barely move a muscle. Not only that, it was as if I was getting sucked in. One thing I can say for sure is, if you get caught in it...you lose."
Rashid's eyes widened by an inch or two. A technique like that is something he didn't expect to be used by people of this caliber. From a sudden surprise to a slight glare, the cloaked male let out a strong sigh before resting his chin on his knuckle. Shifting to his thoughts on such a possibility. "I see...thank you. Leave him to me, if this technique is true. Then the only one who can take him on...is me.". ┓
_┗ Unlike his fellow crew members, Igneel was probably the most relaxed person around. As Tonkhūr did some redesigning, he kept to himself as he simply watched. The thoughts of the two Saiyan warriors that fought him down to near-death was all he could truly think about. What kind of transformation was that? He had never seen anything like that before, the raw energy it gave her was ridiculous. It surpassed Igneel in raw force alone surely. One thing he did have still over her was that his tricks allowed him to get the slip on her. It was at that moment, he knew exactly how to get around her. He decided to keep silent about it while he took notice of Klay and Rashid conversing with each other. This girl and her transformation is his matter to take care of and that is exactly what he plans on doing.
Although, something did catch his attention. The fact that the 'new member' had gone missing. That was odd, the Boss doesn't just let anyone join the Ragna Crew. His personality differed from Larxene so much it was nothing but confusing, to say the least. Flying up to stand next to both men, he brought up the fact they were missing yet another person. "Hey, where do you think this new member of ours flew off to? He's not here anymore and I didn't even spot him fleeing. You don't think he would be plotting against us?" Klay snorted to Igneel in response. "Not unless he wants to die. I got a feel for his power, compared to us individually it is interesting, but it is nothing compared to either any of us together and the Boss himself." Rashid, was eerily quiet about this situation. Since observing Shiver, Rashid was suspecting something off about him. He wasn't trusting. "That is true. I will find him and check it out myself. Intel gathering is my forte. Besides, this will give me the chance to see who he really is up close and personal." Rashid took off into the air and flew off in what appears to be the same direction that Shiver had left. Rashid really desired to learn about this abnormal being and swore to end him if any traitorous acts were to rise. He believed they were better off without him anyway.
Igneel watched as Rashid took off. He thought about searching for Larxene just to simply refill their ranks. However, if what the Boss had said was true, then doing so was nothing but a waste of effort. He took the sight that the Boss had finally finished his design of the battlefield and stayed afloat in midair. Only he knew what would be going on in his mind. ┓
_┗ Tonkhūr truly dived deep within his consciousness while creating the final chance of opposition. His body quivered, forcing himself to control his desire to simply travel and abolish life and satisfy himself with other's fear. Knowing the full fact that he could do that either waiting for the planet's deemed heroes to come to him or go straight to them and destroy them just to solidify his plans with the planet. He was literally in arms reach of bringing his conquest to life if it hadn't been for Igneel informing him about the fact that the planet has warriors to stop him.
Of course, there were moments where he could have just gone on a rampage and handled things himself, but because it has been far too long that Tonkhūr actually could theoretically have some sort of fun or suspense he was simply too into the idea and just had to take up the chance to enjoy himself. "And now... We wait." Sensing that only his Ragna members have been in the vicinity, there wasn't much for him to do but be patient. So patience, it is.
Landing back to the grounds, he walked down the depths of the Maze of Severance to his sector where he awaits new people to entertain him. ┓
It took a while, but eventually Rawber arrived, landing at what he guessed was the entrance of this maze like construct. It was interesting looking to say the least. He walked around and let out a slight whistle. It was bigger up close. He really hoped his plan would pan out.
"Yo! Anyone home?""This is stupid! This is stupid!! This is stupid!!!" kept screaming in his head.
『"Please, just give me a reason to punch your face in!"』
Celes landed shortly after Rawber, as he was calling out if anyone was home. "Hey, don't you think you should wait for backup before knocking on their front door?" She walked up and cracked her knuckles, her blood boiling. "I'm itchin' for this fight. Can you feel it?!" Celes began walking into the maze, knowing that to get the fight she wanted, she had to play their game.
Of course, he expected Celes to follow. His departure wasn't exactly inconspicuous; and what sort of best friend would let you go off in the direction of danger alone?
"I would have knocked, but you know, no door." Of course, she couldn't read minds so she didn't know how stupid he was going to be, but she'd likely ask. It wasn't unusual for Rawber to have some stupid plan. He often got himself, and on a few occasions Celes, in unnecessary trouble because of them.
Of course she was excited for a fight. He could feel it alright. He knew he couldn't win a fight against monsters like these guys. At least, not a conventional fight. He planned on something he hoped these guys wouldn't be ready for, or at the very least, be good at. If it all worked out, he could buy some time.

His hand slowly wiped off his shoulder as he walked towards the maze. He had sensed that there were others there from the look out, but it seems they were a great distance away. His eyes blinked slowly as he looked at his entrance, ready. His hands cracked his knuckles while he blinked slowly and let his lips purse into a frown. The man walked slowly into the maze with a hand entering his pocket, while the other hand adjusted his glasses. His mouth opened to breath slowly while he thought to himself over his stoic, and calm facade. 'What the hell are you thinking? Who are you even trying to be cool for? This isn't some anime or manga, this is real life. You're gonna die Sher. . .You're gonna really die! And for what? A planet? You just live there!' His eyes shook under his glasses before he stopped in the middle of his waltz to pull his hands infront of his face. His eyes closed as he slapped the palms together on his cheeks hard enough to make a clap echo. His eyes open a bit calmer as he pants slightly. ". . .This ain't for you Sher. . .This is for more than you. . .Don't wuss out." He'd say while walking forward with a similar demeanor. ". . ." His mouth's frown lightened. His steps became quiet. His eyes mellowed as he looked to the floor while he walked. His thoughts were focused around what he had been through. His training, the sacrifice, the people he saved, the people he's met. . .The people he's met. "Maybe. . .This wasn't all bad, ya know? . . I can only say that by myself though. Don't wannem getting a big head over it." He'd say while looking at the maze walls while turning and seeing a few floating rocks above him. /size]
|♢| Universe 7 |♢| Android |♢|BP: 480|♢| Ki: 300/300 |♢| STA: ∞ |♢| |♢| Current Theme - -|♢| ✚ Approaching the bizarre structure where the others landed, Sev found herself analyzing every inch of it. She quickly memorized and mapped the maze like creation, landing quietly behind the group. This was strange: Why did they make this place? Didn't the Ragna Crew function better as a group? Something like this would easily divide the crew...as well as them if they weren't careful. But this was still odd and made her feel uneasy. Spotting Runi up ahead, Sev strolled up beside him to share her thoughts. "This place doesn't make sense. I think they're up to something... We should be careful" she warned. Looking over to Celes and Rawber, she meekly spoke up "I-I think we should stick together as a group. We can navigate the maze easier and...fight anyone we encounter. I've already created a map of the place s-so we won't get lost!" Then if they encountered more than one member, they could effectively separate them. Though, they were on enemy territory...extreme caution was a must!
。。。[ENERGY SKILLS] ✧ Voltaic Blitz - A variation of the Power Blitz, Android #7 draws her hand back and charges a swirling red energy sphere with electric ki. She then brings her hand forward and fires the sphere in the form of an energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.
。。。[MARITAL (PHYSICAL) SKILLS] ✧ Hydraulic Press - With a rising knee kick, Android #7 launches herself into the air. Should this attack connect, the opponent will also be launched into the air; however it is not necessary for the technique. Taking aim, she launches a powerful dive kick at her opponent. When it connects, Android #7 activates the hydraulic pressure device in her leg, creating a second impact. Other races can replicate this technique by releasing a surge of ki in the kick.
✧ Autonomic Assault - Android #7 stands on one leg and side kicks "at the speed of lightning", with her other leg extended out. The kicks come out with incredible speed and power, and can land several hits, doing substantial damage if not blocked. This technique can also be used mid air; each kick that lands propelling and keeping her afloat.
。。。[SPEED & MOVEMENT SKILLS] ✧ Flight - The user manipulates their ki energy so that they can levitate or fly. How this technique is described, one would assume that the flyer is putting their ki underneath them, forcing it down similar to an engine or helicopter pushing air down to rise from the ground.
✧ Afterimage Technique - An ability to move so swiftly that an image of the user is left behind. The image itself cannot perform physical tasks, as it fades through everything. Most often, it is used to dodge an incoming attack and get behind the opponent to perform a counterattack. Its usage is not limited to just counterattacks, though, as it can also be used to confuse enemies: the image is used to distract the enemy, forcing them to think it is the actual fighter and giving the user a chance to perform the actual attack.
✧ 3D Scan Mode - A feature used by androids and robots. Its scans and gives a reading of the target from their ki down to their species by reading their biological waves. Though it cannot reveal otherworldly information, unless the user is aware of such knowledge. It can also scan inanimate objects to identify and determine its contents.
。。。[ULTIMATE SKILLS] ✧ Bionic Frenzy - Sev will crouch down before delivering a sliding side kick and then standing on one leg, delivers side kicks "at the speed of lightning". The kicks come out with incredible speed and power, and can land several hits, doing substantial damage if not blocked. She proceeds to deliver a barrage of vertical spinning kicks while rising into the air. At the peak of this barrage, an upside-down double-legged kick upwards will then be followed by an axe kick that knocks the opponent down. Teleporting to land before her opponent, she then follows with a spinning back kick to the exposed back of the falling fighter, finishing by kicking them aside.
✧ Termination Storm - Android #7 creates two large electric energy spheres in each hand, strokes of lightning lashing out sporadically. If the opponent is too close to her when she is charging up the energy spheres, they will be damaged by the aura of energy that surrounds her. She can launch these orbs individual or combine them into a massive lightning bomb. Even after this attack this ends, her body will still be temporarily covered in sparks.
✧Pars had arrived not far behind Seven, having some distance from the group as he eyed up the structure, as he landed his eyebrows furrowing somewhat. He hoped this wasn't going to turn into some game of cat and mouse, where they'd have to hunt down each individual invader just to kick their asses. While he did enjoy a good fight, he didn't enjoy going through annoying hoops and hurdles just to get one, in such cases he'd be tempted to skip said hoops and hurdles just and start a fight with the other party. Seven's plan made certain sense, sticking together would make things less complicated, but that also potentially meant Pars would have to sit out on a few fights, whether it was grudges or some condition the Invader set. Clicking his tongue and crossing his arms loosely, he looked ahead before saying "Why don't we just blow the whole damn thing away? Give their front door a nice hard kick." He felt that would get them right to the Invader's without having to go through a whole maze. With a slight smirk, the hot blooded Saiyan lifted his right hand toward the direction he believed to be the right way. Abruptly, a large mass of seafoam green ki grew in his palm. Unless someone stopped him, he'd attempt to blast a hole in the wall he aimed at, with his latest rise in power, he felt fairly confident in his ability to destroy things. If he happened to blast one of the Invaders, that would be fairly amusing, especially if a fight started off right away, even moreso if Pars got to the fight them. If it was Klaymore, then Pars would likely follow through with a nice charging punch and blast to the face.

_┗ With the return of Rashid and Shiver, the crew was nothing short of prepared for what was about to transpire. They boss was right about one thing, just waiting would make all fall into place.
"So, how should we do this? Take em all out at once or separately? What's suiting your fancies?" Klay snorted to Igneel in response. "Who cares?! Whatever gets the job done the best I guess. Though I do have a bone to pick with one of them for sure. Can't wait until I get my hands on them.""Given how the boss went through the trouble to creating this place, I say we enjoy ourselves with our new friends that will be coming to their final visit. Besides, our combination attacks might be too much for them to handle, even still...they are promising adversaries.".
Awaiting for the arrival, large amounts of energy signals spiked one after the other. Appearing at the front of the gates were the defenders of the planet. Rashid, the first to pick up on this quickly stepped forward, hovering forward before applying added speed. "Let's go say hello."
Following behind with eagerness, Igneel and Klay looked at one another before their excitement spiked and flew in the air behind Rashid. With all three landing in the middle of the wide area before the pathway begins, standing right before the door. Igneel couldn't contain the excited expression on his face. Klay on the other hand, simply with a raised of his hand blasted the maze entrance door opened, shattering it completely revealing the ones who were sent out to their own demises. "We finally got to this point! There's quite a bit of you. I was under the impression there were only like two or three of you." From side to side, looking for the only one that mattered, his eyes set straight to Pars. His hunger for blood spurred out like ooze from a magical pot. "But if you're all as relative to the strength of whoever took out Larxene, then you should be nothing less than entertaining." ┓
Okay, hmmm... So my original plan did not account for so many people seeing it happen. Perhaps I can change it.
Entertaining? Well, we Earth folk love entertaining guests! Perhaps you'd be interested in an old Earth challenge? I'm sure folks such as yourselves can handle it. Rawber spun around, looked Celes in the eyes and mouthed "We need to buy some time" Hopefully she'd go along with him. As he finished spinning around, he took a pose of pointing at the Ragna members "so, what say you? Can you stomach an old Earth challenge?"
The half blooded Saiyan cracked her knuckles as the Ragna members arrived. She was ready to give Igneel a piece of her mind, now that he had nowhere to go. But, before she could even step forward, Rawber was making a show of himself. He mouthed something about needing to buy some time. She knew exactly how to do that. "C'mon, they couldn't complete an eating challenge at a buffet, let alone anything you can think of."With a tensing of her muscles, a quick yell, and flaring ki, Celes transformed into a Super Saiyan. "We all know what they're here for, and what we're here to do."
She then walked to the front of the group and looked directly at Igneel. "But you're mine!" Without another word, Celes took the initiative and rushed forward, delivering a right straight towards Igneel, her smirk of excitement matching his. She needed this fight, for more than one reason. Her blood hungered for it, the thrill of battle.
_┗ "No words, just action!" The first move had been made with some girl transforming into some odd form charging straight for Igneel. It's been a while since the three teamed up, a good sense of an appetizer before the real fights begin. When Celes darted forward, Klay sprung into action by appearing closer in between both of them, swinging his leg and foot out to Celes's sternum with the attempt to send her back, enough window for Igneel to capitalize on an open opportunity. Igneel's face turned into a smirk as he jumped upwards from Klay and Celes. With ki charged in both his hands, regardless if Celes got kicked back or not, he would release them one after the other in succession with the attempt to hit her and/or the rest of her friends. ┓
When we scream, our lips don't make a sound We march, with feet on solid ground We walk, where no one wants to go, on this untraveled road
xxxVeera hopped down with the others and sighed. "Separate them. Remember what Kami said. Everyone be careful. Don't you dare die!" She looked at Igneel with hate, but wasn't going to challenge Celes' claim. He had killed her brother. It was only right that she had the claim to him. Cracking her knuckles and neck, she looked the opponents over, trying to decide who her opponent would be. Maybe she would help Celes with Igneel. She already had a good idea about Celes' fighting style since their spar. She would just see how the fighting went. If they were able to keep them apart, than they might just stand a chance in being able to take them out.
