Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Damage to Arin))

((Damage from the three that are absolutely going to hit: 14-18 * 3 = 42-54

Not much else to be done. Even if Aki dodged the last one with flight, she's still done for. But Arin's not going to bring her down past 6.))

"No thanks, my love. I believe I'll try on my own for now." She looked into her hand, trying to focus her ki into her palm. She wasn't giving it much deep thought as to technique or anything. She just wanted to see how she got the basic idea before she tried anything fancy. She could feel the pressure building in her palm as she closed her eyes and tried to picture the technique just happening. If she was that lucky, who knows, she might even be able to learn another trick. No doubt they'd all come in handy eventually.

"Alright, my love. I will most likely be in the medical bay. When a saiyan is injured badly, we recover to become even stronger than we were before. So I'm going to train 'til I drop. I'll see you when you're done, love." So nonchalant about the whole thing. She stepped out of the room and walked to another room. Stepping inside, she noticed that there wasn't anything in it. The walls were bare, and holes were laid out. Hundreds of them, all in rows and columns. Even on the floor. "What is this?"

A chamber designed to test the limits of the agility of the user. blasts of energy are fired from the holes at irregular intervals, and it is the task of the user to dodge them or be negatively reinforced.

"Oh, hell yeah. Turn it on. And don't stop until I'm unconscious." No response. But a low hum filled the room. Arin walked into the center of the place and took a deep breath.

Aki watched the ball dissipate before it hit wall. She sighed. Oh well. Third time's the charm. She took a deep breath and began to picture her ki flowing into her hand. This time she tried to picture it being woven into a ball of cloth, held together by its own force. She could feel the heat building , and she just had to hope that everything would work out. If she could get this a few times, she was sure she would be able to remember it. Getting it was the hard part.

Arin jumped up, dodging a shot at her legs. She had to lean forward, leveling herself with the ground to dodge a simultaneous shot, ducking under it and falling to the ground, catching herself on her fingers and toes. If they show up, I'm not entirely sure we'll be able to take them. But if I keep training. If I push myself past all my limits, I might be able to fight them off... I've got to work harder... I've got to be better. If I can't take on everyone that's after us, then I won't survive long enough to save Aki...

That's what it was now... Saving Aki... Saving Aki from her own body. Saving her from time.

Dodge the blasts!
In a room in the training area of Alice, there is a room filled with holes. Each one is an energy cannon. Starting the exercise, the user must dodge energy blasts at a DC of 10 vs. 1d20 + reflex save. Each dodge brings the DC up one, and each hit takes 5 hp from the user, climbing by one point every time the user is hit.



To Nexum: 19/50

Our heroes trained, and awaited their impending arrival on Nexum. As they travelled to the medbay, there was a danger growing in the distance. Alice daren't wake her Queens... They would need all the strength they could get....

5 days ago...THAT could have gone better. I woke up from a tree in the forest of Nexum, mildly annoyed that I had woken up in the first place. the sun was shining bright, and there were pterodactyls patrolling the skies. I was fortunate enough to get a full meal in before I started training, and proceeded to do just that.

I later went to my usual calming spot, only to find it laid waste to. there was a saiyan: bruised, battered, bloody, and very well dead on the emerald green grass. there was a crater in his saiyan armor, and two scorched holes that pierced through his armor and all the way through his body.the way he was laying, I could tell that his spine had been broken at least once. his neck was contorted so akwardly that it had to have been broken multiple times, at least two that i could count. blood had once frothed like a river from his mouth, and his face was frozen in a horrific shape of fear that i had never seen before. I didn't know what this man had done to deserve his fate, but he didn't deserve to stay like that as far as I was concerned.

I straightened his face into an emotionless visage, and closed his eyes. that was when I heard a faint rustling through the bushes coming towards me and the late saiyan. two saiyan foot soldiers came out of the underbrush and stood directly in front of me. I assumed they were here for the dead saiyan that they referred to as Totopa, and co-operated.then they captured me before I had time to react on the accusation that I had killed him. they grabbed my tail and slapped full restraint shackles of a strong alloy over my hands and legs so i could not escape.unfortunately, i was also deprived of ki from the training I had done at my home in the tree, so flight was not an option either.

they took me back to a set of three saiyan pods, the center pod being shackled to the other two. the left pod was not standard issue, as it was black, with a purple visor window. it didn't look any faster and, as i think these words into the pod I am in for personal records, it isn't. the center pod was the standard issue pod that all saiyans get in the millitary, so nothing inertly special there, just a white sphere with a red visor window. the leftmost, however, was black like the rightmost pod. it also had a yellow visor window instead of the aforementioned red or purplethe center pod was the pod I was confined to. they waved the remote to the pod infront of my face, taunting me. I would not be escaping captivity untill I landed on another planet it seemed.

and now? i wait. out of my window, I can see a ship of ornate design, but little practality, as it's thrusters seem to be getting it nowhere fast. we seem to be heading straight towards it, as if to lay waste to it, just for fun.I hope whomever is on the ship can fight for their lives, because they might need that ability if my hunch is correct.

I sincerely hope it's wrong.

time in space: 5/10 days

((Rolls are Aki's ki shots. roll + 7))

Bete was the larger of the two saiyans, and stepped out into the hangar looking around. He spotted Aki immediately... She looked almost cheerful to see them there. Did she think they didn't know? "Tatopa's pod is right there." He pointed to the unconcealed pod sitting in the hangar bay... It's like she was taunting them..."

Ape was the smaller, but stupider saiyan. He had completely missed the pod, and had to look for it before he spotted it. "Are you sure it's his?"

Bete nodded dumbly. "Yeah. I'm sure."

Aki finally noticed that something was up. They weren't interested in her... They were saying someone else's name and checking out Arin's pod. They finally turned their attentions to her.

"You've made a big mistake, girly... You've stolen from the family... Now it's time to make you pay." He laughed, and then stopped suddenly, pointing at her amused beyond belief. "Look! Tatopa ripped off her tail! Maybe we shouldn't even kill her, she's already punished enough!"

Ape laughed stupidly "She got no tail! No tail no tail no tail!"

Aki shot two balls of compressed energy at Ape, hoping to blast him enough to shut him up.

And the fight began.

((All four are rolls to hit Aki. roll 1/2/3/4 + 10/5/10/5))

Ape HP: 118/130
Bete HP: 130/130

Aki HP: 56/56
KP: 32/36
MKP: 120/120

Bete looked at his brother and saw the bruise on his head. He watched as another of the hot projectiles pierced the chain holding the prisoner, but was too angry to notice. He charged the girl, aiming a punch at her gut and an elbow to her back.

Ape was mad. He charged the girl with his brother. He was aiming attacks mirrored to his own, so they would both simultaneously beat the crap out of this whelp. They had forgotten to even check her power level. But they didn't think she was going to put up much of a fight. They were stronger than Tatopa ever was, anyway. And he'd taken her tail off, right?

Arin woke up to the sound of klaxons. The ship was under attack. Aki's pod was empty. She kicked the glass door open without waiting for it to drain. She ran down the ship hallways in her black skinsuit. "Alice! Where's Aki!?"

"The hangar bay. A conflict has erupted between her and two boarded intruders. Their power levels are both about 570."

Arin sprinted through the corridors, wrenching the elevator door open and flying down the shaft. She burst through the doors in time to see the attack on Aki.
