Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a feral roaring sound and a suprising jolt as something collided with the stone wall of their cave lair. It seemed as if the monstrous man had come from nowhere, but there he was. he was huge, easily as tall as a semitruck, with a waist equally wide. That wasn't the suprising part, though. His skin, although definantly skin, seemed to be sectioned off into hexagonal units, each no larger that a pinprick, to create some kind of super-strong mesh hold. His hands and arms were also heavy, with definite muscel. He had the beady eyes of a killer, and his grin was growing.

Crow sighed deeply, he really had hoped that they wouldn't send these experiments, they'd be trouble in the first place but that wasn't Crow's problem. He simply didn't want to kill any more of his fellow experiments, maybe he didn't have to, he waved his hand at the others, hoping that they would take this oppurtunity to make their escape. He waited for the gigantic man to move away, then stepped outside of the crevice of an enterance. Sticking one hand in his pocket, he brushed the hair out of his eyes with the other and stared straight up at the beast of a man nonchalantly. After the large man bore his wide grin Crow returned a smirk of his own.

Ventus looked around at his opponents until he found one who he though would give him a greater amount of enjoyment. He selected Crow. A massive fist swung through the air as he moved with surprising speed for his large frame.

"Ventus..." Strobe said to himself, "How could he have gotten here without our knowledge? Every time he takes a step the earth moves. Unless..." Strobe began to sink back in the shadows, waiting for something...

kioko backed away, she didnt want to get into any if this, if that was the situation, she would rather stick behind than use her powers here, the unleashment of it all would cause severe consequences for her later.
"Strobe!" she hissed under her breath, "how the heck did they find us this fast!?"

Crow was finishing the landing from his leap over the fist when it came back around to strike at his head. He raised up his arms and diverted the majority of the attack's impact, a parry in comparison to his size. The large man had made a mistake of even larger size, because of his size when he swung his hand out it created an opening, a huge opening due to his size, and since he'd aimed at Crow's head, he was able to stay inside as he diverted it. "Tsya!" Crow yelled as his body disappeared from view and quickly reappeared in the opening of defence, striking with such speed that he could not be seen. With a trail of Ki leading to and exploding at his fist, his high-speed punch would land right beneath the man's ribs should it hit.

Crow looked back at Strobe for a moment and nodded with a smile in appreciation of the advice, energy he could do almost just as well. Since Strobe appeared to desire to join the fight, and was attacking from the front, Crow decided to attack from behind. Throwing his hand out in front of him while simulantaneously snapping his fingers, a small circle of three rotating orbs of Ki appeared breifly before fading. Crow's body quickly faded to black as he looked as if to be slipping backwards. 'Eins...' Crow thought to himself. In an instant he'd disappeared, then reappeared behind the man by about a dozen feet, with no trace of where he'd gone, for a few moments everything but the physical sight of him was cloaked. 'Zwei...' Quickly, Crow swung his leg out in front of him in a simple side kick, however as he did a crescent of energy was traced with the trajectory and headed straight for the back of the large man. As he did the same circle of Ki orbs appeared, one was missing, and another was absorbed with the attack.

Crow eyes widened and his nerves went on end as the raging Ventus began a violent assault on Strobe. Crow's own blood seemed to boil as the crazed giant began to scream, Ventus' attention seemed completely focused on Strobe, in terms of combat this seemed to be an advantage, but Crow knew that with Strobe in close range to the man this had to change, luckily he had just the way. As Crow summoned up the final charge of his Ki orbs, a result of his technique 'The Trigger', a glowing blue image of himself made out of the first charge used when he'd teleported behind the man appeared where he'd once been, it rushed straight at Ventus, it's sole purpose a kamikaze explosion rush that would buy Crow at least a split second. While this happened Crow slammed his palm into the final charge in the same fashion he usually did to unleash the short streams of energy. 'Drei!' However, because this was the final charge, instead of a short powerful stream, the attack became a large beam that crushed the earth below it from its immense pressure, it was aimed at Ventus' upper back. This was the advantage of 'The Trigger', rapidfire powered attacks with a big finish, unfortunately while using it he coudn't move aside from teleporting as he had.

((Truthfully, I haven't formally introduced Angelo quite yet, but what the hey.))
Kioko's question was answered as a tall, skinny man appeared from nowhere behind Ventus, then was gone in a flash, taking Ventus with him. Strobe groaned as he sat up, blood leaking from his nose and mouth as he coughed up the few traces of bile that hadn't already been beaten out of him.
"I knew it, he's gone. Angelo. They're still here," Strobe said between breaths, "or at least not far. It's been almost a year since I've worked with him, and his power has certainly improved. If there is a such thing as a Perfect class, Angelo would be one at the pinnicle."
