Blade Masters Reunion
November 23rd, 2006 by SalemChapter 51 - King transforms the AresBlade back into its Temple form and the large chessboard floor shifted back to the large flat marble floor with altar. “Oh. I almost forgot,” said Jarody, “There are more of those blonds trying to take the YeagerBlade. Zealot and Christina were outnumbered when I left.” “You left them like that?!” yelled Salem. “Hey! I was summoned!” yelled Jarody, “Not like I had a real choice. I don’t give a fuck about this stupid chess game.” “We better get back to the docks as fast as possible,” said Selene. “Mal is waiting outside in the MobilBlade,” said Emhril. Knight took to the air and became invisible once again as the other Blade Animals scattered to secure the rest of the Temple. The Blade Masters exit the Temple to find Mal on the MobilBlade with Darkwind and Syntax already connected to it. “Selene, Salem!” greeted Mal, “Happy to see you safe and out of danger.” Vivien exits the Temple. “Look out!” yelled Mal, “The spy is after you!” “Vivien is not a spy,” said Selene. “We need to get back to the dock right now,” ordered Salem as they all climbed into the MobilBlade.
Dark and James climb up a skinny ladder to go through a trapdoor under a carpet in James’ Captain’s office. The doorway was almost too small for DarkRaptor’s large muscular body but she was able to push her way through. James checked his desk for his musket. Dark put her ear to the door. Dark remembered what the main Bridge looked like. From what she could hear through the door, Dark knew that there were five of them. One of them were sitting at the helm, one walking around the Captain’s chair, three more walking on the upper deck between the security controls and the main engineering panel. James pulls out his musket. “You stay in the office James,” said Dark. “This is my ship!” began James. “You will get hurt,” said Dark. “I know how to fight,” said James. “I don’t mean that they will hurt you. I will hurt you,” said Dark, “I am going into the bridge and I am not going to hold back. I will kill anything living in that bridge and I will not stop to see if you are a friend or an enemy. Understand?” “What about Commander Ajax and the Ensign that was with him?” asked James. “From what I hear through this door, they are knocked out or already dead,” said Dark before turning to the door, “As long as they stay down and lay completely still, they will be safe.” Dark waits until she hears one of the five in the main bridge come close to the door before opening it and tackling Silent Arian. Trance Arian turned and pulled out her black WatchBlade. Electro Arian pulls her VoltBlade sais out of the control panel cutting off all but the emergency lights. DarkRaptor spins Silent Arian around and tosses the blonde into Katana Arian who was about to attack with her two PolarizeBlade katana swords. Spike Arian’s SpinalBlade armor activates as she runs to the large black haired woman. DarkRaptor vaults over the control panel to land on the main floor of the bridge and drop kicks Trance Arian into the captain’s chair.
The lift door opens and five more Arians enter. “Ten of you,” says DarkRaptor, “Still doesn’t seem fair for you.” The room was very dark but Dark’s visor made the room look as if it were in direct sunlight. Rock Arian jumps into the air as her StoneBlade pendant activates turning her into a moving stone statue of herself. Dark moves out of the way in time as Rock Arian lands on the metal floor and denting it. Dark ducks in time to avoid an attack from Katana Arian. Dark grabs Katana’s leg and uses the woman as a weapon to knock both Logistic Arian and White Arian over the handrail and onto the main floor of the bridge. Blur Arian uses her QuickBlade boots to run up to DarkRaptor and trips her. Dark, who was still holding onto Katana Arian, hits Blur Arian over the head with her sister and the two fall unconscious to the floor as Dark grabs the handrail and pulls herself over to the main floor and lands on her feet on top of White Arian and Logistic Arian. Rock Arian waves a rock covered arm to try and clothesline the large woman but Dark just grabs the arm and tosses Rock Arian over her head to land in an odd position into a control panel. As Rock Arian waves her arms and legs around like an overturned turtle trying to get back up again, Electro Arian fires a bolt of electricity to DarkRaptor. Dark grabs the handrail and pulls it up into the path of the electric bolt. The Bolt hits the handrail and flows safely into the floor. Dark pulls the handrail completely from the rest of the rail and throws the heavy piece of metal to Electro Arian knocking her off her feet.
Dark turns and sees Trance Arian swinging her WatchBlade not far from her eyes. “Your legs are stone” said Trance Arian. Dark quickly back arms Trance Arian in the face and tries to turn again. Dark’s legs don’t move at all. Dark was stuck in the middle of the room as the ten Arians starts to regroup. Spike Arian’s armored spikes were stuck in a wall so she deactivated her Blade to free herself. Rock Arian deactivates her StoneBlade pendant and is able to pull herself out of the control panel. Logistic Arian and White Arian stand up again to join the eight others circling around DarkRaptor and moving in. “We have you now,” said Trance Arian. Dark looked around the room and remembered an old move that could help her. Dark sucked in all the air she could and gave out an ear splitting Raptor scream. All ten Arians covered their ears. “Just wait for her to run out of breath,” thought Trance Arian, “As soon as she stops, we will capture her.” The other Arians agreed and stood their ground. The glass on the view screen began to crack and fall apart. The same thing happened with all the Mirror Blade view screens all around the room. The glass of the view screen on the ceiling began the crack. This is what Dark Wanted as she poured on the power in her scream. The glass crumbled and sharp dagger like shards began to fall on them all. Dark kept on holding her scream as she used her fists to knock away the larger pieces of falling glass but she was still getting cut up by smaller pieces. The Arian were caught by surprise by the attack and were too late to prevent themselves from becoming pincushions for the large glass shards. Spike Arian tries to activate her SpinalBlade armor but Dark hits a large shard that was about to hit her and it flies right into Spike Arian face, killing her.
Dark’s legs return to normal as DarkRaptor catches her breath, her body cut up by the smaller shards of falling glass. Around Dark were ten very dead look-a-like blondes with large pieces of glass sticking out of them from their back to the top of their heads. Dark moves across the glass covered floor back to the captain’s office to check on James. Dark gives a thought and steps aside as she opens the door. A single musket ball flies out. “It’s me James,” said Dark. James comes up from behind his desk. “Are you alright?” he asked as he moved over to the door. “I could use a few band-aids,” joked Dark. “What happened to my bridge?!” yelled James as soon as he saw the devastation that was caused by the fight. “You’re going to have to find more glass,” said Dark. James looks around then a long sword bursts out of his chest. Dark turns and catches James as he falls forward. Sky Arian pulls the JumpBlade sword out of James Koror’s back and uses it to vanish. Dark falls to her knees cradling the dieing man in her arms. Dark gives another roar. “You missed one,” said James in a weak voice. “That one will be the next one I kill,” said DarkRaptor. “Not if I kill you first,” said Sky Arian behind Dark before using the sword’s hilt to knock the large woman out. Tears fall from Sky Arian’s eyes, still feeling the pain of the death of her sisters, “You muscle bound fool. All of this was just to capture you. You didn’t have to kill my sisters.” Sky Arian attached the ReverseBlade to the JumpBlade and sent DarkRaptor away with a single swipe. James watched as the blonde woman put the ReverseBlade back into her pocket and used the JumpBlade to vanish.
The MobilBlade arrives at the dock next to the YeagerBlade. “Selene!” called Zealot, “Where have you been?” “We had a game of chess to play,” answered Selene. Zealot sees Jarody step out of the MobilBlade. “And you, you asshole!” Yelled Zealot, “Where did you go? We needed you!” “Hey, Puff the Masturbation Dragon!” answered Jarody, “I was summoned! I had no choice in the matter!” Zealot turned back to Selene, “With the help of Cold and PurpleRaptor, we were able to kill the women who attacked us, but!” “What is wrong?” asked Salem. “They all look like that woman that was killed back at the Raptor valley.” “We ran into two more of them back at the Blade Temple,” said Selene. “The TidusBlade,” said Salem with a shocked look on her face. Selene pulled out her ComBlade, “Captain Koror.” Salem pulled out her ComBlade and called Koror. ColdRaptor stopped showing Lagan how to reload the revolver and activated her RPG, “Cold to Dark, your twenty please.” A loud sound started to come from Cold’s RPG and a red light flashed. “We must get back to the TidusBlade,” said Cold to Purple before running off down the dock leaving Purple and the others behind. “Wait! What happened?” called Salem after the running ColdRaptor. Purple begins to sign, “The alarm means that the vital signs being detected by Dark’s RPG show that she has been knocked unconscious and may need help.” “Quick Blade Masters, to the TidusBlade,” ordered Selene. The group left the YeagerBlade as quick as possible.
ColdRaptor arrived at the TidusBlade and began to scan the body of the giant ship for a way inside. Selene was running as fast as she could with the others as Mal followed them in the MobilBlade. Christina and Vivien both took to the air and were the next to arrive at the TidusBlade to see Cold jump into the water. Jarody appeared out of nowhere behind Vivien and he gave her a hug. The others get to the ship. Salem was panting when she said, “Can you not wait to show affection for Vivien?” “No I cannot,” said Jarody, mocking Salem. Selene looked at the large ship and said “We need to!” Selene’s ComBlade began to ring. Selene pulled it out of her pocket and answered it. “Selene,” called Ajax, “get to the bridge now and bring that little girl with the spider.” “We are stuck outside,” answered Selene. “I’ll have a port door emergency open. IT will blow off real fast so stand away from the TidusBlade,” said Ajax. “Understood.” answered Selene. The group began to step back when a door near the back of the TidusBlade blew off and went flying in a high arc to land on the roof of a nearby building with a heavy ring. The Blade Masters ran to the back of the shop and jumped through the open porthole. Salem pulled out her ComBlade and dialed 474. Haiku was in the infirmary helping Legs with the injured engineers who suffered a few burns from the exploding main engine. Haiku pulled out her ringing ComBlade, “Yes?” “We need you in the main bridge right away,” ordered Salem. “I’ll be right there!” yelled an excited Haiku and she ran out of the infirmary with the HealthBlade running after her before it jumped and attached to her back.
The Blade Masters and Lagan run through the tight corridors and jumped through the hatchways. It was not long until they ran into Lieutenant Commander John Koror. “We are trying to get to the bridge,” said Selene. “So am I, I was called there,” said John. The group squeezed into a lift with no more room for Christina, Lagan, and Emhril. “Take the next one!” ordered Selene as the doors closed.” Ajax helped James to his captain’s chair. Ajax brushes the broken glass from the chair and rests James onto it. “We need to get you to the Medical wing,” said Ajax. “No. My place now is here,” said a weak James. The lift doors opened and Haiku jumps out. The HealthBlade jumps off of the little girl’s back to fly over the security control panel to land on the back of the captain’s chair. The seven year old girl runs around the top level of the bridge, around a few of the dead Arians, to the nearest stairs leading down to the main floor and to the captain. “There is a great loss of blood and major organs have been sliced open beyond repair,” said the small child. The lift door opens again. James and the Blade Masters almost fall out as they exit into the room. “Father!” yelled John as he made the same jump over the security control the HealthBlade made before but landed on one of the arms of a dead Arian, in front of his father. James opened a small door in his armrest, “TidusBlade command,” he said in a very weak voice, “I, James Tidus Koror, hereby transfer Mastership to my eldest son, John Koror.” “But father,” said John as he fell to his knees in front of his father. The loud booming voice of Tidus, Caretaker of the Sea said, “Does John Koror take responsibility of all the benefits and drawbacks as the Master of my Blade?” John could not speak. He was not thinking about what was going on, his mind was on his father. He did not want his father to die and wanted to do what it took to keep him alive. He did not want to do this now. “Tidus is waiting for your answer son,” said James, “Do me proud and watch over everyone on this ship.” “Yes,” said John, “YES I WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!” “My Blade will now recognize you, John. Master of the TidusBlade,” said the giant voice of Tidus. James smiles as he takes his son’s hand, “We made quite a mess he!” James slips away and falls into his son’s arms. “Holy crap!” yelled Jarody, “How many of these bitches are there?” Everyone else stayed quiet as John picks up his father from the chair and carries him through the lift doors just before they closed behind him.
