Welcome to Gaia! ::

arrow Paulie Shore?

Kain shook his head. Well, his opponent had been predictable so far, and that meant he had an idea of where to go from here. The energy emissions from the shield's initiation were currently being dissected in Kain's data-analysis banks... and he knew very well what Telekinesis was all about, having sparred with Myuutsu.

"Amusing." A faint click was heard from inside of his right combat arm. He laid down the same barrage of NATO rounds, this time adding in the 35mm under-carriage acid grenade rounds. However... as each round left the barrel, it seemed to dim, as though sucking in the sunlight around it as it streaked towards his target, a single unfamiliar rune was etched into the side of each bullet and 'nade (Anti-Magic). On top of that, the tubes along his back spread out like a peacock and continued their barrage without mercy.

Shoulder pauldrons opened up, and miniscule cameras filtered out around the battlefield, packed with filament-sensor-arrays and nano-processors. The Gravo-Cams gave a full view of everything that was happening across a kilometre-wide area.

arrow Shore RLY?

The BAM!!! shrugged lightly. "Not my problem. It's going to be yours." The left combat arm came up, and rather than bringing to bear its OICW, the wrist-cuff opened up, revealing 40mm rotary cannons (think the guns that Monev the Gale had on Trigun) in a circular array. Each one of these armor-piercing rounds portrayed the same etching as the OICW's rounds. "Let's see how much your rejection can stand!"

The cuff began to spin... so fast that it seemed not to have moved at all. The large, concussive rounds exploded from the combat arm at incredible RPM. The OICW continued firing, launching the acid grenades again while the two mortars sticking out to the sides of the BAM!!! continued their normal assault. The middle two began an odd series of clicks, however.

arrow Night's Plutonian Shore

Kain's HUD indicates a switch of dimensional frequency involving the target, as Kain can clearly see this results in the man becoming invisible to his naked eye... but not to the eyes of his sensors. Tracking his target, Kain waits for him to come back to the Material Plane, greeting him with the rotary cannon's barking salutations.

As he begins firing, however, Kain's sensors show a dramatic increase in pressure and gravitic forces around the BAM!!!, something he himself was unaware of due to the design of the armor. This is evidenced, however, by the craters and long cracks forming beneath his feet. "Gravity-inducing emittor? Not a bad choice, but not the best one for you."

The BAM!!! took part of a moment, and then raised its left leg, climbing out of the steady pit it was creating. The skirts on its ankles began venting, and hover-mode was engaged. Naturally, due to the gravity, it didn't get off the ground, but the opposing pressure was quite enough to give Kain the free range of movement he was accustomed to. The right arm came up, and its wrist-cuff also drew back, baring the barrels of a twin wrist-autocannon to the left's. The OICW of the left also rose from its arm-compartment's hardpoint and his target was met with fury enough to reduce a Supertank to liquid metal components. The very air began to shimmer beyond normal sight from the heatwaves generated from the veritable hailstorm of rounds.

The two tubes on his back finally finished clicking, as though going through a cycle, and the same clicks were heard in a rapid fashion within his combat arm compartments. The tubes fired four shells above his target, but seemed to do naught else.

arrow It's just an old-fashion shore song

Kain tracked Vandole's movement through the ethers with pinpoint precision, viewing him when he reappeared back in the Prime. His sensors began to peak at their current setting, so he switched them to S2 Mapping to better monitor Vandole's power output. Kain chewed on his bubblegum, staring out at the mage.

"Damn. He's right. It IS over nine thousand."

Kain smiled and kicked the ground beneath him as Vandole's flames began to accumulate. Bursting from the ground, the PAC erupted, ATVs roaring as it landed top-side. Myuutsu blinked, invisible behind his visor, and the BAM!!! was seated comfortably within the PAC's cockpit. "INITIATE TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE!" Kain belted out various Henshin arm movements.

The PAC began to unfold, sectioning off quickly and effeciently. (Insert Megazord Transformation Here) The PACBAM!!! took one step forward and brought up its massive dukes. Bright sigils flared along its edges as compartment-containers revealed themselves. The right and left arms bared 125mm Rotary Assault Platform Equalizing Units (RAPE U), a particular favorite of Kain's.

Each round sported its own EM field, keyed to the PACBAM!!!'s relays, and could thusly be air-guided. Within the silver shells was a tight layer of Cesium packed around stabilized Californium-251. Yes, Kain was a CRAZY ********, the a*****e actually invented Nuclear Miniguns.

arrow Shoreful

PACBAM!!! watched the incoming landmass come with stoic quiet. "And here I thought I could go a bit further..." The left arm was brought up to the PACBAM!!!'s head unit, where a large circular watch rested.

"BIG SHOOP! It's showtiiime!"

All was silent for the barest of instants... then a massive head broke through the crust of the already pitted earth, stretching higher and higher above ground level. The PACBAM!!! was standing comfortably in the monstrous metal behemoth's left palm. With a flourish, the PACBAM!!! turned and leapt into the open cockpit of the black and silver obscenely-humanoid machine.

"Big Shoop, IIIIIN AAAACTION!"

Four massive arms drew back with the sounds of large servos and gears, left arms turned with hands palm-up in the Chamber-Lock position, and two right arms pointing towards the Floating Island. The impassive eyes of justice blazed in blinding light, the very commanding presence of a Judge of All.

arrow Shur M Shore.





"What kind of a joke is this..? I want you to invoke your real power and suddenly you create more technological foolishness? Bah, I'm done with you. You're not even worthy of being dismissed."

And with that, the giant sword just..stops glowing. The island tapers away and he turns his back, sighing.

"This is pathetic. I heard that there were those here who had great powers born into themselves. All I'm seeing is another pitiful society who is hinged on metal monstrosities that will one day annihilate itself with the mass of its own weaponry. This is little more than frustration. Find me a REAL opponent."

arrow Shore of Apocalypse




"At last..you have done what I had hoped since this began. the old ways are very much alive, draconian one. Your flesh existing is proof of that alone. Technology can be destroyed, civilizations can fall, but OUR WAYS will always exist in the core of the earth, of every earth itself. The magic never fades, and the honor never dies. I came to test your level and the level of everyone here. Now know that I give you my respect..and I will go so far.."


From his own body, the suit changes, rippling into the plate armor of black and purple, accented with silver. The image of the dual-headed phoenix forms, and the sunglasses also lose their glamer, becoming the partial Black phoenix helm. The cloak he wears, black on the outside, deep violet on the inside, and looking similar to Spawn's own cape, flutters out behind him. An amulet glows on his chest, and fuses with the chestplate of the armor. A draconic face forms on the armor's front, and he reaches for his own weapon's hilt.

"Alhazzad.."


The screams of a thousand thousand dead are heard in torment and despair as he rips the black crystalline blade from its resting place. The screams of young girls especially are more felt than heard, and a permeating aura of sadness and suffering rips across the entire chain of islands once the artifact weapon Alhazzad is drawn. A pale white-purple flame flickers to life int he depths of the crystal sword, and a beautiful young woman's image rises from it to float behind the armored man. She carries a scythe, and half of her face is masked, much like a Phantom mask. little black butterflies flit here and there around her.

Where the tip of the sword is pointed at the ground, the natural earth begins to yellow and decay, just from feeling the sword's aura. The sword's hilt at the moment, was like unto black iron, twisted and pitted, and the crossguard was like that of simple iron bards with little demon claws. Even without prior knowledge of the weapon, it was clear that this wasnt its true form. Even were Kain to only mildly focus on it, it was very clear that the full power of this weapon released would be devastating, too devastating for a terrestrial dimension. He's got enough power to challenge, but is respectfully holding back Alhazzad's true form.


"You are what I hoped for. Don't worry. Things will be alright in the end. I will justify the fears and despairs of the living. Listen well. I am Julias Vandole, the Dark Emperor. Shade hangs in the balance at the caress of my voice, and I reign over despair, suffering, pain and strength gained through trial. But enough talk. Have at you!"

And he salutes with Alhazzad.
