Welcome to Gaia! ::

Somewhere, somehow, someone, for some reason said: "BE", and he was.

We have Dash, standing in the middle of a vast plainsland. There's tall, waist-high golden grass here, all swaying gently with the beeze.

The angry black man stands tall clad in his blue body suit. His fists are clenched at his sides and his gaze shoots off into space somewhere. He's there, waiting for someone, or something to face him. Will they show? Probably not. No one wanted to fight Dash... not if they had a brain, that is.

Well, it looked as if his opponents wanted to roll in with weapons. No biggie, Dash could do that too. He'd reach behind him, grab hold of his faithful 'chuks, and whip his arm out in front. Black panther was now prepped and ready to knock some skulls!

"Okay, which one of you wants to be first?"

Two. It was the number of other people here. Well, whatever the reason was that they were there wouldnt matter, since Decruda really didnt care much for others.

He'd hold the infamous glass dagger that was in his left hand up against his right shoulder as his body began to tip forwards, left arm crossing in front of his chest in the position as he rushed at the first man who seemed to like to speak, Dashboard, right arm crossing beneath his left at his lower left side.

Given the chance that he would be close enough, his right arm would snake outwards in a slightly diagonal slash, mainly horizontal from his left side to his right side, making a clean cut arch in the air. This of course, would be done roughly around four and a half feet away, incorporating the reach of his own arm and the blade of the scimitar, using the tip of the blade as the point of attack in this situation.

A fifth combatant appears, slowly wandering up out of the mist, and cracking his knuckles.

"Somebody said there was a rumble here. Who wants to catch a beating?"

Now, see, neither the man nor his penguin knew that there was gonna be a fight, so needless to say, they both jumped and ran back a ways. They weren't really fighters, but they also didn't know where this place was. All they could assume was that this was a very weird dream. For now, they'd stay out.

And then the air around them began to crackle in the end motion of the scimitar's swing. In the very same motion, only a split second off from the initial attack, Decruda brought the dagger in his left arm skimming down the length of his outstretched right arm, which was lined with some some sort of furry hide, unlike his left arm which was covered with the volumous sleeves of a mage's robes. It would appear as if he was pulling his arms apart from the way they were originally positioned.


And as the glass dagger left the fur from his right arm, the air split into an electrical blast, the lightning bolt streaking right towards the man who seemed to want some of the action, having caught the movement from the corner of his inverted coloured eyes. Instead of a lightning bolt directed at Dash, which would have been the follow-up to the initial attack, as planned that the man would dodge, but ended up not, it would be aimed at the charging man.

So... how fast was a lightning bolt? The speed of light or something right?

((Modification; glass dagger + fur))

Anyways, in the outwards motion of his recovering turn, which would be clockwise as his right hand which held the scimitar would turn his body in that direction, and in which case would then direct the lightning bolt in Moonblade's direction, his back would then be exposed to Silver, which was busy flying through the air with a kick, his right arm would have still been outstretched and be moving in the man's trajectory of flight.

Of course, this would be after he was kicked in his upper back.

((Heh. Giving a DM your spell list was a bad idea. Too bad I'm not a metagamer.))

KSHOOO CHOOO! PZZT!

He wasn't Ryudo, so of course he couldn't dodge a lightning bolt he didn't see comming. He was stunned as the powerful lightning bolt struck him in the chest.

Moving back slightly, he would turn towards the man who ran away with the penguin. I mean, he was all by himself with no one to harm him. For all he knew the penguin could be a bomb!

In traditional Soul Calibur glory he would run in and do a quick jump, followed by a powerful one-two kick.
