Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Yeah. I could have set up a better way to transition, didn't really feel like it. ))

The worm was slashed several times before a final slash from Ardence sent the creature flying backward and landing hard on the dirt ground, somewhat close to where the battle between the Orphonch and Dragoon was taking place.

The worm managed to get up rather quickly however. This time more cautious of its opponents.


[b]Notice
After a few posts between this new set up I'll allow for the true battle royal to start. And I mean only a few exchanges. That way you can fight the other kanjin a tad before the DestrOy comes out.

When I think it's appropriate for more of a three on one type thing, I'll have Fang use a certain Maximum Drive. Itami will probably know what I'm talking about. If there's any problems or suggestions let me know.

*Before clock up would finish, Ardence took his second wind and decided to apply it to the other monsters near where the worm was falling. Heading for the clones that weren't already in battle, he rushed over and began slashing into the Orphnochs who were nearly stationary to him. Responding to this charge of emotion, his belt slightly hummed as the gears in it rotated more. The summoned rider Kivoid glew faintly for a moment as three more objects flew out to him, combining into him and powering him up. Now, each limb had a separate color to them and four wings emerged from his back.*

As dragoon was hit..he had to think of a way to get out of this mess. He had no time to switch medals...the attack was too fast. He grunted with each blow and tried to focus...heating up his body. Soon a burst of flames surrounded him, hopefully this would deture the monster long enough for him to pull out a trick or two.

*Ardence's chest sparked a bit from the impact, but he fought through the pain and grunted a bit at it.* Kaveh Winfried! *Using his spare hand to swap out one of his geardens for a new one, he drew out a new sword weapon in the spare hand and slashed more into the Orphnoch monster who held Era's sword. Using it's own confidence against the monster, he ensured that he would either regain control of the sword that was left to his care or use it as an anchor to keep the monster within striking range of his own sword.*

*Gripping Era's sword with more of a tighter hold, Ardence went into a pose with both swords before running forward and slashing in a fury with both swords against his target monster. This one wasn't using speed like the worm did, so hopefully pressing with such a quick and powerful set of slashes would help overwhelm it enough.

As the energy blast approached Ardence, a large club came forward and intercepted the attack. An eye-looking stud absorbed the energy blast as Kivoid finished rushing to protect it's summoner. Out of another eye-looking stud, the energy blast the second clone had spit out flew out of the club weapon and back towards the originator of the attack.*

((lol it is a name, what is there to get?))

((lol And now I get the reference, after I ask. >.< So Itami, have you figured it out? Your characters have thought him enough. smile
@Sai: lol Don't worry. I'll give you a good taste of it soon. ))

The attack from the club-like weapon found its target as the hit clone stumbled back, the third and final clone appeared in front of the summoned rider engaging him in hand to hand combat, however it didn't do anything major as it more was keeping Kivoid occupied for the time being.

Meanwhile, the "original" Orphonch was dealing with the sword's slashes. After taking a painful looking slash to it's side, the white kaijin managed to block a slash with it's forearm, using it's other arm, it countered with a strong punch to Ardence's chest.

~Worm~
"Several" of the high speed kicks found their mark. However the worm eventually caught both of Dragoon's feet and flipped the rider over and onto his (Dragoon's) stomach. Not waiting for the rider to get up, the Worm used the tentacles on its back to try and stab Dragoon in the back. Even if this attack was somehow avoided, it still had another attack up it's sleeve.

((Huh? Thought you would have gotten it by now. Well, I guess I'll have to demonstrate it to both you're characters then. Here's a hint: It is related to Worm's ability. It sorta combines with a Worm's ability from a show. If you really need to a better hint either wait to see what happens or read the white: Think a certain video game. ))

The first clone was hit by the "fire blades" (for lack of better word) and the other, rushing clone was soon in engaged in a tangle of kicks and punches. The two combatants were evenly matched, due to the summoned rider's upgraded form. However the first clone had by now recovered and used it's tentacles like a whip to attack the rider from behind.

The ice didn't seem to detour the first/original clone. In response, it seemed to accept the new "ice gauntlets" that had appeared on it's arms, which what it had been mostly using to block, and used the makeshift weapons to further attack Ardence, either to deflect/block a sword swing or pound the rider's chest.

((I really am not trying to God mod. I'm just trying to make the final battle a little interesting and hard.))
