Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well there was no escaping this one; his blade was now embedded in the android's chest, held in place by one hand and the other was using his own power against him. Well at least it didn't have pebbles and other annoying shrapnel-like objects inside that would tear part of his face of, it would just hurt like a mother and most likely burn his skin.

Eyes closed and holding onto the chest sword as the ball impacted, Ruu was thrown back a fair distance and the sword was torn from his grip. He still retained one blade and managed to roll backwards to a standing position once he hit the ground, searing pain shooting through his face as he opened both eyes to stare down his opponent again; adrenaline was pumping to dull the pain and bring focus, the want to find Maximos growing inside his soul causing him to further fight the pain and through to the answers. Since this being could create these condensed gravitation balls, not to mention steal the lingering presence of Ruu's arcana, he took a moment to conjure up a portion of energy and keep it in reserve for immediate use. As far as attacking went, he waited in a lowered stance and the sword ready for Mr. Android to approach... where did D go, anyway?

::M4X had not absorbed Ruuvans defense, the light where it should have been. He replicated it, borrowing the process and creating his own.::

Light Ball learned.

::He said flatly as Ruuvans body flew backwards, just as the elf was about to flip and land with utmost balance and grace, something shifted. He would feel it in his gut first, and his inner ear second. It was the feeling of a shift, no longer did the floor seem like the floor, for a moment, the ground felt more like M4X. And this snowy scape he was about to land his feet on, would feel more akin to landing on a flat vertical wall. This was hinted at, as the snow fell sideways as opposed to the normal "down".

Gravity inside a localized gravitational field had been shifted.

The aim of this was to pull Ruuvan back to M4X. This would of course be before he could reach the ground, or reach in range of it. But incase it wasnt enough, the droid was nothing if not efficient. Ignoring the gravitational field, M4X would break into a full charge aiming to grap Ruuvan's right foot, the moment it came reach. And to use the elf quite basically, like a bat, to smack the actual ground with.

All the while, D had just finished placing the lovely and perfectly proportionate head atop his snowman. There was a nice round bottom, a slightly smaller middle, and an evenly smaller head. The child was now ready for a more important task. A fight!

A fight to find the roundest and blackest stones, through the impossible amounts of snow in order make the bestest possible, mouth and eyes!::

::And it would have worked too, Ruuvans blade would have cut 3 power cell coolant cables causing the power cell to beging quickly overheating and forcing the android to shut down. The emergency shut down being triggered exactly 8.69 seconds after the cut, and 1.31 seconds before the quantum singularity in M4X's chest expanded and devoured the planet.

Only, Ruu found his sword dinging what felt like stone. What he would see was that a bright light had enshrouded M4X very quickly. This was interesting as this looked almost identical the light shield that Ruuvan had used not but a second ago. In effect it was, the light was compressed and hardened, and forged around him after being very expediently summoned.::

Light Shield learned.

::The Android was flatly say as Ruuvan dinged off him and suddenly found himself in an upwards draft. It was less of something carrying him upwards and more as if the word had just been given a quick turn, and up was now down! Ruuvan would find himself floating, upwards, just as quickly as he might be falling!::

::The androids eyes locked onto the arrows. One would think that this meant he was going to counter or defend against them but...he had never seen an arrow in his 1 year, 8 month, 21 hour, 3 minute, and 58 second...life.

He didnt know what to do. But when the sound of a thunderclap rippled across the area, and the android found his shield shattered like cheap glass and his body hurdled at least 300ft straight back...he immediately learned arrows were bad.

The shot was precise, the sort of godly precision only a true master archer can attain in the heat of battle. The first arrow struck him dead in the center of the chest and he found himself spiraling and twisting and turning in mid air like a rag doll, slave to the force of the shockwave.

After flying about 306ft back, anyone watching would see the shockwave expand out from M4X as the snow gently falling around him was suddenly scattered, and he was left levitating in mid air about 60ft off the ground. He stabilized himself, precisely in time for the second arrow to strike him directly in the forehead, followed by hundreds more. For the seconds the barrage assaulted the mechanized warrior, it sounded a bit like rain falling on a tin can. The sound of countless drops smacking into and against metal. Shreds of cloth, and blue could be seen soaring out of the mess before the droid was finally seen spiralling down and landing the snow with a "poof".

D however looked furious...that shockwave killed the snow angel he made.::

::In the rush of snow, the body had already been buried. Ruu wouldnt even know he had reached his target until his shoes made the tell tale sound of boot to metal. He was quite literally standing on his vanquished foe.

D, was about 100ft to the right, burried up to his waist, digging for rocks.::

::The metal of Ruu's sword passed directly by a very small transistor, the transistor shocked a bolt of electricity to the power core using the sword and the wet snow that was let in when the sword was moved as a conduit and...

Ruuvan would almost immediately find himself re-aquainted with the feeling of falling in a direction that was not the ground. This time, he was falling directly upwards.

Upwards toward the towers roof, though much slower.

As he flew he'd see the snow shake and part as the droid stood up. Its clothes torn and tattered and drenched in an icky blue substance which soaked the snowy ground around him like a puddle. His flesh as little more than torn shreds of prosthesis, some bits scatttered about, some still barely attached. The mechanics which made him were exposed for all to see. His metal skeleton highly visible as he lurched out of the snow. His back bent over like a caveman before he finally stood upright.::

::No no, falling up into oblivion was not Ruu's destiny at all.

Ruu would reach about 100ft up before the Android had managed to stand fully erect. It would extend its metallic right arm straight up, and open its fist.

You could literally see the graviton energy flowing through his arm, through the viens hidden beneath the skin.

Ruu might even notice that the snow directly around him was beginning to slow, and stop, just as he was...the ground around the android seemed to be sinking as if the snow was suddenly being compressed, and then the words escaped M4X's lips.::

2x.

:: 2x, otherwise known as three times, as in 2 times earths gravitational pull. Ruuvan wieghted roughly 200lbs. Times three, it meant that he was now being sent crashing down to Gaia from 100ft up, at a wieght of 400lbs. This did not include his velocity, and the fact that the snow, would be compresed flatting leaving him to be firmly introduced to very solid ground.::

::In the white abyss, walked the single traveler. The only man, man enough to brave the coming night with nothing but his body and a frail coat. There was barely any warm to begin with, but the true definition of cold came when the sun fell. What little warmth it gave was stripped away, and the white turned to black.

Vahn had to be almost at the Kyonuske base. The silohette of the structure was in view, its outline cast by the setting sun. But something was off.

Directly in front of the base, sat a man. The man wore a black hood, and sat in front of a very warm campire. Odd because there was no wood, odder still because it had to gaurd against the wind. But it was extremely warm!

He looked him, his face shrouded in the black hood, and waved for Vahn to come over to the fire.::
