Post by Prince Tidus Adasca on Feb 15, 2021 21:28:34 GMT
It had been nearly two years since the battle with Iosef Adasca, and his nephew, Prince Tidus Adasca, had been living on Earth 420 as one of its citizens. Protecting them as if they were his own people with the assistance of the symbiote Neuroxis, Tidus had made North Brother Island his home. It was remote, yet close enough to the Avengers HQ in NYC that he could respond rapidly if needed.
And he was needed fairly often indeed. His abilities had grown since that encounter with his Uncle, as had his power in the Force. When they called, he was there to answer. Still, his dreams were haunted by the final words uttered by his elder.
"Something far worse than me is coming for you, boy. You have no idea what you have done......"
Each and every day, Tidus monitored the portals that would open up...albeit far less frequently now, only to find something that -wasn't- that threat. Iosef was never one to speak idly of such things, and the young Prince knew this. The ever-present dread of that day hung in the air, threatening to throw this relatively peaceful planet into chaos yet again. Still, so far, it had been easy enough to dispatch the evils that manifested themselves...especially with the power of Neuroxis at his disposal.
Today was another one of the quiet ones. Tidus and Neuroxis were honing their combined skills, learning how to better fight as one unit instead of instinctively. It had been indeed enough to overwhelm and defeat Iosef. If, however, the Harvester's words were to be believed, it was going to take far more than instinct and brute strength to win this time. Each day that was not spent in defense of Earth 420, Tidus was pushing himself, training with anyone he could...and learning as much as possible from everyone around him. From Tony Stark, Col. Rhodes, Loki, or even Toni, they all had something he could learn.
And that is exactly what both Tidus and Neuroxis did.

Loki took a deep breath, almost sighing in resignation. "Again, this time faster." He said stiffly to Tidus, it had been two years since he had been sent by the very deity's of the Force to defend this, and many worlds, though what he knew, and what was coming, he was forbidden to say, but the others noticed he seemed burdened with dire purpose. "Remember, your blade is an extension of yourself, not a tool, but a core part of your being." Loki himself held aloft one of his curved hilted sabers, one of the blacks, he flung it away from himself, and after it traveled a few meters, it suddenly snapped back to his hand flaring to life. "You and your, Symbiote-" Loki had been working with Tony and learned a great deal about this Symbiote beings, he found them interesting but felt that they would have trouble bonding to his unique cell matrix, which last year in a fight with a being called "Carnage" whom saw the two toned Zabrak as a perfect host found out much to his horror, Loki was already altered, already stronger than any Zabrak should be, and he mentally and physically expelled the beast. But Tidus' was different, Noble, befitting a Princeling Loki supposed..."Wield incredible destructive power, however, that is no reason to understand the Saber, to learn how it moves, how to become one with it, and the Force." Loki suddenly went into a rapid, Kata, as he spun and slashed, his other blade seamlessly appeared in his hand, in moments, the two where floating and the strange two sided spear was in his hands as they all worked in concert against unseen enemies, Loki moved faster still, spinning ducking weaving, flipping, all around the training room, he was a blur, he did not sweat. "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me" He repeated a dozen times, a refrain Tidus and Kektal had heard a thousand times since they began their training under Loki. "I am a weapon of Bogan and Ashala, Of light and Dark, Balance is key." Loki finished with the two sabers disengaged, hanging from his belt, and the wicked end of his spear balanced on the ground and he himself, despite his size and muscle mass, balanced atop the leaf shaped blade, both palms on either side of it, his legs straight up in the air, he stayed that way for a few seconds before flipping down, and the spear in a swift motion went back onto the harness on his back. "Now, show me your Katas Tidus, begin." |

Post by Prince Tidus Adasca on Feb 16, 2021 22:46:34 GMT
He had been waiting for this.
Tidus had been getting lessons like this nearly every day. Every day, Loki had been quite harsh in his criticism of the techniques...well, lack thereof...that the Prince had with his lightsaber. For a long time, he had been extremely reluctant to use the weapon...he believed that technology, along with the power of the Neuroxis symbiote, were enough. However, as of late, Tidus had begun to see the beauty and elegance...the art...in saber combat. Sure, Neuroxis could generate spikes of crystal that were all-but the same in temperature of the plasma blade, but there was something that Tidus had been missing all that time he denied its use.
It was the discipline, and the strength gained through it, that was the most beneficial part of learning the various saber forms. It was now time to show what he had been holding back, something he had gleaned from the practice sessions he had been holding with Neuro when Loki wasn't around. They had developed something, and hopefully, the former sith lord would appreciate it.
"Well...ok then..All right, Neuro!! Let's show him what we have been working on!"
Immediately, the symbiote encased the young man, and the saber popped into their hand. It had been slid through the symbiote's outer coating, and across their forearm, only coming out into the Prince's palm as he extended his right arm. The chrome hilt immediately lit up into the orange bladed/black cored weapon, and the blade was mere inches from the Zabrak's face. With a wry smile, the symbiote-covered TIdus snapped the weapon back into a reverse grip, and put his left side forward. His left arm was extended, two fingers pointing at Loki. Suddenly, the symbiote split from the Prince, leaving him holding the lightsaber. However, in the place of the weapon in Tidus' hand, the symbiotic alien had created a replica out of his own body, standing in the exact same position as Tidus. As one, they began to move, slowly spinning their respective weapons. First in front, then behind them. From there, they moved into quick slashes, as if they were attacking the upper thigh of an imaginary foe. Hopping backward with a rapid 360 degree twist to put distance between themselves and the ghost warrior, they lunged forward with a thrust. They were perfectly in sync, as if it were a well-practiced dance. It was here that both increased their speed of attack exponentially. Tidus had been practicing in the art of force speed, and during the slow early movements, he had been quietly building it. It now exploded forth, causing his movements to be nearly a blur. The symbiote as well burst forward at the same clip, and both snapped their sabers up from the reverse position, sending a flurry of rapid fire thrusts at the imaginary enemy. It was a blur of orange and black, cadences being called out by Tidus to the other beside him, and Neuroxis responding in kind. While they were two separate entities right now, they were moving as one. Multiform technique at its finest, it could be used to rapidly overwhelm an opposing foe, even though it left both more vulnerable than if they remained bonded together.
It was something that the two were quite proud of, but had held back in showing the elder warrior until it had been perfected. Then again, it didn't hurt that even apart, Neuro and Tidus shared a mental link as close as if they were together.
As fast as the feigned assault had begun, it was over. With a final sweep of their sabers out in front of their bodies, ending with their weapons out to their right, and left arm out in the same manner, both bowed to Loki, never taking their eyes from his as they dipped lower. It was a show of respect to him, for giving them the instruction in this beautiful art form. It was also a show of humility for a Prince raised to bow to no one. They then again, merged together, and stood up straight, and proudly.
Maybe this time the Zabrak might even crack a little bit of a smile instead of looking with disappointment at them.....

Jack sighed a bit as he flew the Blackbird to North Brother Island. He honestly wasn't sure why he was the one sent, but he didn't want to think about it. The young mutant was a living bomb if he got touched, so it seemed like a bad idea, but if the Professor wanted him there he'd take a look. As he flew in, he'd land near where @prince Tibus Adasca was staying, and would exit with a bit of a grumble as he grabbed his bo-staff and cards before walking out. And that's when he saw the training.
Goodnight he had a symbiote! That... that was scary. The mutant decided to just sit and watch at this point. It was crazy how fast he seemed to go. It was like watching Pietro when he was taking it easy. Once they were finally done, Jack decided to start walking up, flipping a card around with his fingers. When he had a chance he'd finally speak up.
"Looked like a nice show."

Loki didn't flinch though most would have had a saber gotten that close to their face. Loki however had, had sabers much closer, as he watched, his hand felt where the gifted eye had taken the place of a gaping hole. He nodded in approval as they moved, he was impressed, and not easily so, but in the two years since they had arrived during what people now called the Convergence. People from dozens of realties, some similar, some unimaginable, some like theirs, different, take for example, Tidus and Loki where from the same dimension but different times.
"Very good, Tidus, Neruoxis. I'm quite pleased with your progress-"
At that moment the howl of a Jet landing distracted Loki as a young man bounded up. Loki raised a bald brow. "One of your friends Tidus, one of the...X-Men?" Loki said something else in Tattoinan, and knew Tidus would understand. Loki who was taller than the gray skinned Zabrak the others had met, bowed to Tidus and Neuro. "I have business elsewhere, Tidus, tomorrow same time, and don't forget to work on your meditation." Loki nodded to Jack and walked past him into the building. Stoic, he did not look back, Dash and Keketal would soon join the others outside he could feel them finishing their own, different style of training elsewhere... |

Post by Prince Tidus Adasca on Feb 19, 2021 2:41:53 GMT
Progress, finally!!
Loki nodded his approval, and bowed in return. It was the most emotional reaction Neuro and Tidus had received since the beginning of the intense training. It was most certainly a refreshing change from "No! Again, and this time do it properly!" or "How many times do I have to explain this to you?" Tidus understood the why behind the stoic warrior's demeanor, but it didn't make it any easier to hear how often he failed. It was nice to get something right. Loki said something about 'letting you two boys play' in Tatooinian, eliciting a smile from the Prince.
As the formalities ended, Jack approached in the Blackbird. Tidus had requested Jack come to North Brother Island when he had last spoken to Xavier. Professor X had suggested a liason to the X-Men and Jack was the first who came to mind. While Tidus and Jack had little contact since Vegas, the Arkanian had kept tabs on the young man. The son of Gambit had an interesting powerset, one that was extremely unique....and something Prince Adasca could possibly help with. Sure, the kid had a decent handle on his powers now, but Tidus had an idea that could blow the lid off Jack's current potential. Neuroxis retreated, allowing Tidus to look his normal self. Smiling Tidus approached the young man.
"Thanks! Took a while to get down pat. Coordination attacks always do. Glad you could make it! Come, we have your quarters set up already. Professor X thought it might be a good idea if you train with us here. I agree with him."
Waving the young man along, Tidus strode into the front entrance of what looked to be a dilapidated asylum of some sort. Rumor had it that biological weapon tests had been conducted here by the US Government, but that was just a fallacy. There was a facility here to be sure, but it was something far different that the Americans had been doing. The bioweapon factory rumor had been spread intentionally to cover the fact that this had been, up until the Convergence, a base similar to Area 51, where off-world beings could meet with leaders and not worry about prying eyes. It was a rather genius cover story, keeping the public's eyes from coming too close to a guarded secret that the US Government had held for years....since right after World War II.
Walking through the front entrance, there was an entrance to an elevator at the back of the main hall. Pressing the cracked button, the iron gate creaked open to the rickety elevator car. Waving Jack in, Tidus smiled.
"Par ici, mon ami." Tidus had been rehearsing that line all week to make sure he spoke it properly. For someone who spoke eight languages in his home corner of the universe, Creole was more difficult than he had anticipated. His parents had taught him that it tends to make people more comfortable if you spoke to them in the anguages or tongues they were most familiar with. It had continued to this day. However, even speaking the native tongue of the Wookiees was easier than trying to get the right accent, inflection,and pronunciation of Creole French, and Tidus was determined to learn it. Similar to French, it was still a style all its own.
Riding the turbolift, erm....elevator....down, it began to move faster. The old-fashioned looking contraption was most certainly not dilapidated, but modern made to look as such. Nearly 30 seconds later, they were almost five hundred feet underground, and in a fairly large underground complex. It had acquired the nickname 'The Lab' from its rumored past, and Tidus was not one to buck tradition such as that. Stepping from the elevator when the doors opened, he turned left,and walked down about a hundred feet, and stopped at one of the doors.
"Here ya go. I'm sure you want to rest, get a shower, and get your gear stowed away. I'll meet you in the mess hall for dinner in about two hours. I have something I must attend to. If you need anything, The Lab here has an A-AI based on Arkanian tech....it can answer just about any questions you may have about the place, or where things are. Designed it myself. The X-Mansion would do well with one, but Professor X refuses to let me install one. I think he's scared you guys might use it for purposes that are....mischievous." Chuckling, Tidus nodded to Jack, and left him to his own devices for the time being. Turning on his heels, the 18 year old made his way to the meditation room.

Jack smiled as he came up, but sighed a little when @prince Tidus Adasca mentioned why he was there. It was pretty clear he didn't really agree with the Professor and Tidus, especially when he still didn't exactly have control of his powers. Still, he was here to train, so hopefully nothing too bad would happen.
"Well, I hope you and the Professor are right bout dis." He then followed Tidus as they walked towards... an old asylum? That didn't instill him with too much confidence, but he would slowly walk inside, and come face to face with the elevator. The Mutant was sure that the thing was made of rust, but the Prince would soon surprise Jack with a touch of French and an... attempt at a more Creole dialect. He chuckled a little, shaking his head.
"I'd stick to a more French soundin' dialect for now, Tidus. What's dis rust heap gonna take us to anyway?" He was then surprised again by the elevator rushing down. He looked, trying to feel how far they were, but when they finally reached the bottem, Jack went slake jawed.
"All dis was hidden down'ere? How...?" He looked around, looking back to Tidus as he picked up the bag he had nearby. The mutant would then follow him to the door, and listen carefully before chuckling at the idea of an AI being at the Mansion. He shook his head and spoke up with his usual accent.
"Ça c’est bon. Room looks nice, and I'll be there for dinner, but I agree with Professor Xavier dere. The Mansion is a school, so I imagine some'a the kids would take advantage of it." When he was done, and Tidus walked off though, Jack would enter the room and start getting his stuff organized. He'd then sit down, pulling off his gloves so his hands could breath for a bit. He then thought, quickly speaking up.
"So.... AI? What is dis place anyway?"

Dash and Keketal had sat cross legged from each other, eyes closed, the silence was both palpable, and serene, not awkward, one could hear a feather hit the ground. Not even their breathing could be discerned. Dash finally broke the silence, they had been sitting this way for two hours. He opened his eyes to view the Zabrak warrior before him, so similar and yet so different from his honorific namesake, as Dash was from Loki himself, the young Zabraki warrior before him was gentle inside, kind, and wise beyond his years, but he hurt. His duty was to protect he throne of Adasca, and despite Tidus being alive, and with Kek, his queen, and king had perished, he lived with that guilt, that darkness, twisting and widening its way through him on a daily basis. Dash no longer served the force the way he once had. "We are one with the Force, and the Force is with us." Dash spoke calmly and evenly. "We breathe life, we take life, in the of balance, we honor those that came before, and we defy those who serve chaos. Always." Kek repeated the phrases himself, Dash knew there was a darkness in the young Zabrak, but Dash himself had fought the dark for so long it was all he knew. At least his brother had been partially redeemed. Finally the session concluded, they where done. Keketal rose, and so did Dash. "You are progressing nicely, you and your ward are exceptional learners. Both of you would have made excellent Shadows." Dash said placing a hand on Kek's shoulder. "Shadows?" Kek questioned? He had never heard the large Jedi say that term before. What a strange thing to say. He shrugged and walked to the exit with Dash. The door slid open and Tidus was outside waiting for his turn, not with Dash, no Loki and Dash had agreed that Tidus and Neruo could meditate once a week alone, which was today. Kek and Dash both smiled at Tidus. "Young prince, Neruo." Dash said with a small curt bow, he always addressed both as separate entities, Others like Kek and Tony stark struggled with the concept, but Dash and Loki both accepted both as unique individuals. And thus treated them as such. "Has our arrival from Xaiver landed? I am ready to converse with him, and begin his...Training." Dash said with a smile. |

Kek enjoyed the meditation with Dash, it was enlightening, ever since he had killed Iosef, he had been severely injured, fighting the recements of Iosef's forces, and getting back to Tidus. Dash had arrived not long after Loki, according to Dash, they where siblings, not just siblings but two of a set triplets. Neither had really mentioned the third brother, though Dash had said something wistfully, with a sad look in his eyes once. "Highness!" Kek said as they exited the meditation room. "How was your training session?" He asked quietly, Dash, Tidus and Loki had all been trying to get Keketal to be less formal. Something they had failed to do thus far. He couldn't shake decades of Court training and decorum. When he and Tidus where alone he /was/ formal much like when in the palace years ago, but in front of others, he couldn't. |

A female voice spoke to Jack, answering his question.
"This facility was originally created to house the sick from New York City, and surrounding areas. It was mainly a typhoid hospital, for those infected with the terrible virus. Interesting fact, Typhoid Mary was housed here until the end of her life. However, after humankind's first true contact with otherworldly beings, this underground bunker was built underneath North Brother Island, and the river above by the United States Government. It was built to cover up the fact that 'aliens' do exist. However, after recent events, the facility was rendered useless by the forced introduction of aliens existing to the human population at large.
I believe someone is looking for you, Sir. A Zabrak by the name of 'Dash' spoke of 'an arrival from Xavier'. My transportation and transmission logs show only one ingress from said location. Pardon my assumption, but I believe that would be you."
Tidus had programmed the advanced AI system to sound almost like a living being. Indeed, the AI could assume a form if a 'blank' android body were available, but nothing of that sort had been built as of yet....there was no time among all the training, and meditation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tidus was stopped outside the meditation chamber by Dash and Kekatal. Something had been eating at him in the back of his mind all of a sudden, but he kept himself quiet about it for now. He bowed to both, smiling at them.
"Greetings! I was just about to see if you were done using the meditation chamber. Loki keeps telling me its for my own good, but I'm still not sure how much it really helps me right now. Perhaps training in different combat arts would be better served as far as time spent?"
Winking at both of them, he chuckled. He knew that they would quickly realize he was being a bit informal, inserting humor into his greeting. He was just trying to lighten a situation where things were sometimes quite dark. Ever since Las Vegas, there had been a strange, and nearly frightening aura on the horizon, and Tidus was hoping to find some answers in today's meditation.
"Yes, Jack arrived only a short while ago. He's actually right up the hall here, room 225. He might be a little overwhelmed, as well. He looked a little confused as to why he was sent here out of all of Xavier's students. Hope you can help with that."

Jack listened to the AI carefully. Yep. It was already nicer than that crazy one Toni made. It did send a shiver down Jack's spine though. A bit too familiar to Area 51 for a history. Plus he really didn't want typhoid. Jack was about ready to tell the AI to stop before it told him someone was looking for him. He looked around, grabbing his gloves, cards, and bo staff. Best go find this guy.
"Uh.... It's ok. Where's this Dash?"
Soon, he would walk out of the room and look around, walking to where the AI had pointed him. It wasn't like he knew where to go exactly, but he could follow directions. The young mutant would soon find someone, and would tilt his head as he looked.
"Uh.... Dash?"

Dash nodded as Tidus spoke, and put a finger on Tidus' forehead. "And who said this isn't combat training, hmm?" Dash smiled reminding himself of an old teach, as he dropped his hand and Jack walked up, Dash was a tall reddish brown creature, with violet eyes, and long black hair streaked with silver, carnial horns poked through various parts of his hair, and two where visible on his forward, Kiffur tattoos adorned his face, vastly different from Kektal's and Loki tradtional Dathomirn tattoos. He wore flowing green Jedi robes and there where four canister shaped objects hanging from his belt, as well a few pouches. "Jack! Wonderful, I've spoken at length with your professor, he would have made a wonderful Jedi." Dash said bowing to the young man, Dash seemed strange, alien, mystic even. "Kek, I beleive you will find Loki in the cafeteria, Gizzak steak has been brought in, why don't you go relax, Jack if you could please follow me to the training ground, I know you just arrived, but it is imperative we get started, Your higness, I will see you later, I wish to talk to more about meditation. And tell you another story about Loki..." Dash said with a wink, he then turned on his heel, robes flowing and strode down the hall not checking to see if Jack would follow, but knowing he would. |

Post by Prince Tidus Adasca on Mar 11, 2021 3:41:07 GMT
Tidus smiled and nodded as the elder Zabrak chided him. Turning away as Dash did, the Prince entered the Meditation chamber. He removed his weapons belt, and put it to the side. This would ensure he had clear thoughts, as Neuroxis was contained in the saber. The symbiote was more than capable of defending himself if the need would arise, but here? It was more than doubtful.
Settling into the middle of the room, Tidus assumed a crossed legged lotus type position, and closed his eyes. Unlike nearly every single time before, he slipped easily into the flow of the force, feeling it carry him along like a rushing river. He could see things from the past, present, and future...all flying by in a blur. This was a bit odd, as the Prince had barely been able to see a moment into the past. For some strange reason, it was as if he was being pushed, or rather -pulled-, toward something...
...It would end up being something he would have much rather not found.
Tidus was unceremoniously dumped onto a nearby island, coming to the ground in a less-than-graceful landing. He rolled, tumbled, and came to a stop on his face in the middle of an old dirt path. Coughing from the dust, he pulled himself to his feet. A cold chill ran up his spine, as cackling laughter burst out, seemingly from all around him. A dark, eerie voice nearly spat out.....
"Oooh, another one? He is a strong one, too!!"
Another one? Was the voice talking about Tidus?
"Oh how cute....He's confused!"
There was the answer to -that- question...now the bigger one...WHO was it that was speaking, and where was the voice coming from? It was like it was right beside him, yet it sounded like it was parsecs away all at once. An unfamiliar feeling began to fill Tidus' mind....
...Fear.
Even during the war to save his people, the fight to kill Iosef, the torture suffered at his hands, nothing had actually caused true fear. But the power, the energy, the horror behind that voice? It was something else altogether. It was enough to make his blood curdle in his veins. There was something familiar about it, but yet not. There was an icy cold tone to the voice, and a heated violent anger. If the voice alone was capable of generating power at the level it was, the one behind it was....
...It was nearly too much to fathom.
"Thank you for showing yourself. You've just made it so much easier to track you down. You're mine, now!"
From the darkness in front of Tidus, a hand shot out, and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off the ground. Behind the hand, a faceless being emerged, and the grip tightened. Instinctively, Tidus' hands shot up to the hand wrapped around his neck, and gasped for air. In the face of the blackened mirrored surface of what appeared to be a helmet, the Prince saw only his own face reflected back at him. He tried to scream, but the sound was ripped from his throat by another squeeze. A clawed, withered hand came up to Tidus' face, and touched just below his right eye. Digging into his flesh, the claw slowly ripped a line from its initial contact point, down his cheek, and ripped free as it cleared his jawline. The being drew Tidus closer, and spoke again.
"When I pick a target, I never fail to acquire their power. You are most certainly not the first, nor will you be the last. I'm coming, youngling....and there is nothing you can do about it. Let that mark serve as my first and only warning."
The being tossed Tidus aside as if he were a piece of rubbish, sending him careening through the trees and brush along the side of the old road. He laid on the ground, feeling extremely drained....as if the other had literally pulled his very life essence out. It was all he could do just to try to crawl to the road. Weakly, he reached out with his right hand, as if trying to grasp something in the air in front of him, and collapsed.
Snapping out of his meditation with a start, Tidus looked around him. The room was in utter disarray, as if a whirlwind had torn through it. Neuroxis was standing in a corner, in a very defensive pose. Reaching up, the Prince felt the sting on his face of the very slash he had received in his dream. Everything came rushing back to him, and the room began to spin. Within moments, the blackness of unconsciousness overtook him, and he collapsed to the ground.

Jack looked at Dash, a bit surprised by both his appearance, and that he'd already talked to Xavier.
"You already talked to...? Yeah. The Professor's a great guy." He then looked down a little when he suggested training. Jack wasn't sure how well this would go. His powers did tend to be... difficult to control if he did it wrong. He would nod though, looking over where he figured the training room was.
"Ok. Let's do dis, and see what ya tink." Jake kept his hands in his pockets as he'd go though, slowly following Dash as he thought about how this training would go.

Elevate Your Senses
Dash smiled as they walked. "Don't be so apprehensive Jack, I've trained thousands of students, Strong, weak, with unique powers such as yours, you know how to use your powers already, your issue is control." He said not looking at Jack, but feeling his emotional state, at last they entered a large courtyard Dash crossed it and tapped a few buttons on the communicator on his wrist. Suddenly shields popped up around the walls, and wooden, steel, and concrete cubes popped from the ground, as well as four stones. Dash turned and faced Jack. His eyes where closed. "In a few moments I am going to ask you to describe your powers in depth, in your words, how you feel about them, and how /you/ think they can be utilized, but first I will explain my own. Dash took a deep breath, he held his hands out to the sides, making a cross shape with his body. Suddenly he crossed his arms, the cubes and stones all shot up, evenly. "I can move, wood, stone, steel and more with my mind, the air around you is mine to control. Dash began circling his arms around in an infinity pattern and the objects before him matched his movements. "I can see the future in glimpses, I can read lesser minds, I have the ability to crush and destroy." Dash said simply, his voice carrying to his new pupil. Suddenly all save the rocks fell to the ground, one floated now before Dash suspended. "I can see into things, feel them, their strength, their weakness, I can manipulate this..." Dashes eyes suddenly snapped open. He held up a finger, and touched the rock in a left hand corner, merely a gentle nudge, suddenly the rock exploded into hundreds of smaller pieces, and clattered to the ground, not unlike Jack's, rather explosive abilities. "Control, is the ultimate factor when one utilizes Shatterpoint, true adepts can even find the point in living beings..." "Dash looked at Jack and smiled. "Now it is your turn youngling, show me what you can do, and fear not you cannot hurt me. While I am a naturally born Zabrak, I am a genetic mutant, my skin is extremely tough, I have enhanced strength, speed and durability, I am also the second strongest in a set of three." Dash bowed to his charge, took a defensive stance. "Now, explain in your words how your power functions, how it works and what /you/ can do with it. GO!" Dash bellowed the word go a large smile on his Zabraki face. |
