Welcome to Gaia! ::

[First off, all demonic energy is basically the same unless specified otherwise. Therefore you labeled demonic energy, by its title must abide by the same rules as all surnamed energy types. Demons get their power or energy from the astral plane or the great abyss, thus it is astral energy. That having been said theres no real arguing what happened to that energy, it would not override the realital rift cause the spatial temporal collapse. No more so than simple dark energies overriding celestial manipulations, they're on two different levels. So no spatial temporal collapse sphere.

Next Mesa by nature is a soul stealer/collector, that is his main handle. His own spiritual energies are enriched with the thousands of souls he's stolen from fallen foes. Having the backing of so many souls and so much energy allows it to surpass and convert others of only a single soul's energy into his own and add it to the collection. I've been doing that basically all match, that being absorbing your spiritual energy via the sphere of influence and adding it to my own stores of energy. That is why he is able to continually output energy for massive manipulations as well as multi-tasking. Multi-tasking in the sense that he was not only slowly manipulating reality within the ground below but also fighting you [over the last 3 posts].

Finally, you stated that you set down on the ground. I stated that you feet would never actually touch solid ground, but you'd immediately sink rather quickly through the liquidy substance that was the floor originally. There'd be no leaping anywhere because there'd be nothing to leap from. Firing an energy blast into this would spread the material apart to let it pass but after which it would close just the same, as throwing a rock into the river. The moment you hit the liquidy surface and began to sink the tendrils would come from the surface to grab you. So in essence the time ellapsed between sinking and being constricted is almost nothing at all. Your chara would have to note he's being sucked in, his mind and body are not one so his brain would have to register the information and then tell his body what to do. His body would have to recieve info and do it, with no real time at all. For these reasons i'd say your dead.]

[I could have went into the realital flow, and resonance upon the super strings and all that. I've just been rather rushed as of late with school and all. But *sigh* no power you say? the old fashioned way then it is.]

Immediately he'd sever the psionic tether affective outside the orb and would focus them on the inside. Though his sphere of influence would protect him from the 1st blast, he would have to replenish it to take the second. His sphere of influence is an extension of his own perseption upon the prime material plane. Within it, his influence is absolute when manifested, it feeds of the mixture of his spiritual and mental energies flowing freely through his mind and body. His first instinct was to absorb the blast though even in his Majin form this would be a hell of a task. The amount of energy output by the blast would have to be matched by his own to counter balance one another. Reversing the polarity of the molecules which make up the blast, reduce the initial explosion to a small burst of flame, the rest cycled through his system via the sphere.

Not so easy however was the implosion of a spatial collapse, drawing all within the area to one point, reducing it to about the size of an atom on the exact focal point of the collapse and then obliterating it from time and space. The recycling of the explosion energy would prove to be rather effective against the implosion. Expelling such energy now would push out on the imploding forces. Since in a spatial collapse a level of equality is prevalent between both blasts, hitting the second blast with the first both of which are polar opposites in allignment would negate the two.

The massive amounts of foreign energy cycling heavily throughout his body and perception along with the mixture of what he'd originally gathered to survive this counter sent him over the edge. Unable to hold the energy in his arms and legs would burst outwards extended fully on all sides, head back looking up into the sky, palms facing outwards. His once crimson aura would become black as night and explode outwards brimming with the energy of his very being. His spiked crimson locks would grow longer and darker red, physically his body grew making him both taller and more muscular than before now around 6'6. Mind, body, and soul would conjoin within his form combining all spiritual and psionic energies into a very versatile energy known to his people as Ga-Ki. Ga-Ki is similiar to celestial energy in that it does not require alot of it to do many techniques. Fangs would protrude from his lips, giving him the look of a beast, pitching his head back he would roar, flexing his newly found muscles. This was his last stage, Gajin form.

(( Yes, I'm late, but Mesa wanted my opinion, so here it is. ))

(( This is wrong. Therefore, everything that follows it is wrong.

As per Yuusuke's 'utter void of power' or whatever you want to call it, since it hinges entirely on the dynamics beween his and your power systems, it cannot be unless you also agree that it is. As you've already begun IC posting again, I'm going to assume that the both of you came to a conclusion on whether or not that actually happened.



In short: "I > You" is not a fight, nor is it anything resembling a fight, yet it's been what you're aiming for since the beginning of this. I didn't want to make a comment on your faulty mechanics or a lot of the ballsy assumptions you made that were so very likely to ******** you in the a** if Yuusuke wanted to smack you on the wrist and say "bad puppy". But he's been a damn good sport about this all, and in responce it seems like all you've done is repeatedly say:

Yuusuke: "I attack you."
Mesa: "I block effortlessly and kill you."
Yuusuke: "Okay, here's my defense, and then an attack."
Mesa: "I block effortlessly and kill you."
Yuusuke: "I narrowly avoid it, then spend a turn charging up my next attack to try and hit you with."
Mesa: "You're not allowed to avoid it. I kill you before you have a chance to react."



Yeah... when it comes down to it... nobody is going to side with you if they have a choice. These fortunate people here who've put in their two cents have a choice. I, unfortunately, am burdened with the responsibility of being impartial on the matter. Looking at the facts, at your attitude, at his attitude, at any concept of fair play and character balance in general, and the fight at large...

You really gotta get over yourself.

Now please resume the competition in good will and good faith. ))

(( Try it sometime. It's good fun to have to actually try in order to do something. Limiting your possibilities encourages out-of-the-box thinking. Whenever I teach RP, this is the one thing which I enforce first. You can't learn to run until you can walk, and sometimes you just need a refresher course on the basics, too...

That and being the underdog is so much more fun than being "oh man, I'm so much better, I'm like a bossfight, yeah, yeah, yeah". 3nodding ))


(( 1. Doing something passively tends to put much less weight behind it than doing it actively. Additionally, saying "I auto-charge every turn" is like saying "the longer we fight, the stronger I get".

2. What are you charging off of, anyways? If Yuusuke says that his power is not the type you can absorb, then what are you doing? Eating people in the audience? domokun ))


(( Sometimes you can't do that. You can't assume that you'll just waltz to the final four before even needing to put effort in. You might not be as good as you think you are, OR you might get unlucky and get matched against someone really good early on. Champions have to advance, too. ))


(( Nobody goes into it expecting that their attack will be countered... if they do, you call that a feint.

Loopholes are there to be exploited, and there is always a loophole. If there isn't you're unbalanced, plain and simple. This is a simple rule I hold for everyone, most of all myself. There is no such thing is a perfect offense and a perfect defense. In fact, the more that you concentrate on something in one way, the more that it should shift away from it in another way. That's called balance, and it's what makes games fair and worth playing.


Though thank you for appologizing. I don't know why I'm saying it, since Yuusuke is the guy who it belongs to, but I give you a thumbs up for the fact that you did appologize. I know a great many people who wouldn't. ))

When the palm outstretches toward him, Yusuke expects something to come at him as he approaches. The needles that are fired would impact into the surrounding demon aura, only to be affected by a tiny defensive spark, which was no different from the occasional sparks that were emitting through the environment from the colliding powers. And so the needles would do nothing more than disperese or just remain there against the aura as Yusuke flies in close before coming to a stop just outside the black colored aura, not knowing if it coming into contact with the thing was safe. He remained hovering there as he looks with a face that was between a frown and confusion. It wasn't until he aims his right index finger toward Mesa, his left hand gripping his right wrist, that he would start to take measures to bring this match into his favor.

Yusuke stared with one of the calmest faces one would ever see on him, although his eyebrows were slightly dipped to show a small frown. The small orb of light blue energy would concentrate at the tip of the aimed index finger, gathering energies as Yusuke remains intact in midair, a smirk coming to his face.

"Tell me something: why are you here, anyway? For glory? For someone special? Or for yourself?"
