Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Having a ball - In The Skies Above The Oil Rig Vic Voltage

He could feel it. That familiar tingling that raised the hairs on the back of his neck and along his arms. A storm was brewing. Half blinded, deafened, and bleeding, this was still something he could do. It was the core of his being. The crackling energy called.

His voice was still amplified, and it boomed down towards the rising Goldbrease, still far, far below the lounge singer-come "terrorist". Even garbled through the water, his voice was still distinguishable to Daniel.

"RAAAH!" He raised his arms upwards, calling down Schwarzenegger-sized arms of lightning from the swirling storm. The shots were random and frenzied, Twelve bolts in succession in rapid staccato. They were also twenty feet long each. And they weren't even all of the energy he now had at his disposal: the electric orb was now its own localized storm, a spinning vortex with Victor at the center.

[In Pain. In Need.]

The amplified scream burst through even the roaring of thunder and the rush of fire.

Vic was still blinded, still deaf, and even further, his vortex made it very difficult to see and hear past. A vortex that was now half consumed in flames, shot through with writhing current. It was hard to tell what was going on now. The moment the fireballs touched the surface, it was all heat, thick oily black smoke, and sparks. Thus it was tough to tell whether the bullet had gone where Gold had intended, or if Vic Voltage had screamed for another reason. Regardless...if he wasn't angry before, he certainly was livid now.

There was a quiet explosion from within the cone, and suddenly the sky was filled with sparkling motes which dotted the darkness like the stars in the heavens. Immediately following the explosion, several more arms of lightning burst out from the swirling chaos, arching in the air straight for Gold's location. These seemed to follow him with eerie accuracy.

Something was just occuring to Vic, even as he continued to successfully predict where those orbs were going. Apparently, he wasn't reading the electricity in Gold's body. The storm swirled around, dodging in the sky lit by the glitter of a myriad of sparks. His hearing was returning, and with the volume of his voice finally brought down to proper modulation, he muttered, "Was that VF my enemy? No wait...what the hell am I thinking? That was Kami's plane." He shook his head violently, dispelling the thought. "That other plane coulda been a friend though. Couldn't tell with alla' that flashbang in my head. Wonder where it went?"

((OOC: Ideas only work if they don't conflict with the subject's firmly grounded information. Vic Voltage and Kami no Kaze know each other pretty well. Vic was also partially blinded and deafened before the Valkyrie Wings went into the water, and before that point, Vic didn't see it clearly. There was stuff being shot and thrown at him, after all.))

"Gotta... finish this." Grimly, he stretched out his hands, and closed his eyes, intoning, "Mighty Donar, All Knowing Odin. Futsu-Nushi and Aji-Suki-Takahikone. Haokah, Huitzilopochtli. Kaminari and Take-mika-zuchi. Lei-zi, Indra, Tawhiki, and Namarrkun. Hear my call." The glittering sky began to pulse, as if a heartbeat was now linked to each spark floating in the air. "Shango and Summanus. Give me yer power. Kill this idjit who plays in our storm!"

SF Points Remaining: Completely Out.
Summary of point usage:
1 - Super Lightning barrage.
2 - Spark-Ridden Sky - Setup.
3 - Spark-Ridden Sky - Finale.



The entire sky seemed to become one huge lightning bolt. Every single spark that had been floating harmlessly in the sky flared to full life after two pulses. Goldbrease suddenly found himself surrounded by hundreds of thousands of small balls of lightning, streaking in at high speed from every single direction. There was no escape.

Just as there was no escape for Vic Voltage. The cost of the attack dissolved all but a marble-sized amount of lightning from his vortex. Which allowed him to see his last moments. Two incredible beams of energy lancing up from the water at him. He panted with exhaustion, clearly frustrated. If only he'd had some juice left.

He closed his eyes, and in those short moments, he sang, voice rough with fatigue. "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your li~iips..." Then, the lounge singer was engulfed within two searing columns of light.

Victor Voltage: Exit, stage left.

((OOC: Yup, Vic's out. Gold, it'll take two SF points to nullify Vic's attack, probably with some sort of psycho shield or something. However, using your last SF point means you're spent. You're exhausted and need to rest for several hours, or at least have a good meal and a drink.))

Angelic Layer. I'm aware it's "Different" in the Anime. Or so I've been told.

But in the Manga the main character knows nothing about the game, or how to fight. And gets signed up in a tournament before she ever gets any practice. She then goes and takes down some super high ranked opponent who had some Dancer doll on her first time out.

No practicing, no learning the system, no "Beat up some chumps first" episodes or anything. Nope.

Yes it is still going and has, remember, the US gets this many months after the release of whatever item, game, manga.

@Arc: Unless that 10 yr old knows japanese...he doesn't stand a chance at even playing it -like me- crying
