The Start of it All

[RyderHakubi]

The ki-blast slammed into the side of the Hydragon, causing it to scream out in pain and rampage harder...

However, it's wild rampaging caused it to miss the bullets fired by Ryder... mostly.  They still caused gashes in the Hydragon's bloody right side...

[Kwokinator]

Kwok grinned.  Time to press on the advantage.

Somersaulting into the air, he flipped in the air a few times and over one of the heads of the hydragon.

"Eat this and die, you three-headed freak!  Amaguirken!!"

[acetalon]

"An opening!"  Ace dove out from under the hydra to the right, narrowly avoiding being stomped into a pancake.  

He jumped up and slammed the kodachi's hard into the open wounds on the hydragon's flank.

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder reholstered his gun, and bounced off the open wound into the air...

"BOTH OF YOU MOVE!!!" he shouted as Ryder started to glow...

[Kwokinator]

Kwok sweatdropped as he saw the glowing Ryder.

"Uh... yep... I think I'll take your advice and run..."

Without even glancing back, he ran far, far away from Ryder and the hydragon.

[acetalon]

Ace jammed his kodachi in the hydragon's hide and ripped off a few scales.

"Souvenir,"  He said simply, and ran off.

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder spun in mid-air and slammed down into the hydragon at intense speed... foot first.

At first, the kick didn't seem to do nothing... but then, a bolt of plasma shot out of the dragon... and another... and another...

Ryder's face went from a confident smirk into an 'Oh shit...' as the hydragon puffed up from the plasma filling it and exploded... sending Ryder flying into Kwok...

[Kwokinator]

"Gah!" Kwok widened his eyes as the human projectile traveled towards him at obscene speeds.

Quickly switching into a modified Tai Chi stance, he crossed his arms horizontally in front of himself and caught the flying Ryder with both hands.  Turning his arms to uncross them and spinning Ryder in the process, he pushed the airborne Ryder flying towards Ace.

"Catch, bro!" he grinned. "And remember to beat on him to get the Saturn-heretic's memory back!"

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder's eyes widened as he was sent towards Ace...

"Oh shit..." he muttered as he expected the pummeling to begin.

However, as his mind blacked out in preparation, Ryder's eyes narrowed and he pulled out a familiar blue and black bass guitar... and smashed the side of it into Ace's head... while laughing maniacally.

[acetalon]

"Ah!  Bitch!"  Ace cursed, jerking his head to the side from the impact.  "Dammit that hurt!  I knew you were just pretending to have lost your memory!"

Ace followed through with the side momentum that came with being smashed with a guitar in the side of the head.  He grabbed the guitar handle and yanked Ryder along with him, and swung his leg up to clip Ryder in the stomach as Ryder followed.  

"Kwok!  The Saturn-heretic awaits!"  He called out, wincing.

[Carthrat]

This was fun!

You didn't get much better live action than this, thought Carthrat as he munched on some popcorn.

He failed to notice, of course, the fact that he was spilling popcorn from the sky all over the battlefield, thanks to his Porta-bag.. it maintained a direct link to his microwave at home, which could be programmed to cook, convect, do the dishes AND take the dog out for a walk..

His expression changed from amusement to mild surprise as the dragon began growing from Ryder's plasma blasts.

"Could it be absorbing the plasma? But then.. I could combine it with Argodracit DNA and give it plasma breath, thus creating a limitless energy source.."

Then the dragon exploded.

"...crap."

Carthrat went flying from the explosion and landed in a tree, which promptly fell over.

"Double crap."

Then his invisibility device shorted out.

"...maybe they didn't see me!"

<-That's right, Carthrat, and they're also deaf, dumb and paralysed. Though they WERE rather busy slamming into each other, there.. ->

<-Bah. They're all aspects. Lesser being such as myself are beneath their notice.->

<-Metaphorically speaking. You didn't think that silly toy stopped them seeing you, did you?->

<-...Shut up, Rational.->

<-Well, Carthrat, if you started acting like me..->

<-..when I say shut up, I mean shut up.->

[RyderHakubi]

Turning in the air, Ryder continued to grin, and aiming the guitar handle at Ace and Kwok... started letting loose a stream of bullets at the pair...

[acetalon]

Ace held his forearm up to his face, trying to keep the blue translucent shield in control with his other arm as the constant barrage sent wave after wave of vibrations through the shield.

"Don't think I'm gonna beat you to a pulp any less for this, ya barney lover wannabe!"  He yelled out.  

He didn't notice the bullets being deflected up at a certain character who's last post was all about talking to himself.

As he held his shield steady, Ace inched forward towards Ryder.  

"Barney lover wannabe!"

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder stopped the barrage of bullets for a second... but he pulled on the whammy bar and unleashed a rocket at Ace...

[acetalon]

"Why you..."

Ace grabbed the edge of the shield and swung it like a baseball bat at the rocket.  

"Its a homerun!"  He cheered, watching the rocket fly off into the distance.  "And the crowd goes wild!"  

Then he charged Ryder.
