The Koori Tribe (The Argo Fight)

Guest

Far in the North, the Koori Tribe lives far removed from civilization. Houses made of shaped ice mark the otherwise barren, white landscape. This was the home to the ice mages. For generations, ice magic had maintained this village. The people wore black, in great contrast to the snow and ice everywhere around them.

Today was a very special day. Today was the Challenge. The head family's daughter, Grace, had been promised to Necati by her brother, Argo. The people were outraged by this arrangement. How dare Argo promise one of their daughters to the Grim Reaper! However, Argo assured them that this marriage would protect their village from the dark spirits that had forever sought their destruction. Those same spirits were present for the Challenge today, thousands of them. Grey wraiths covered the village, outnumbering the humans 3 to 1. Argo, the current leader of the Tribe, was able to keep them at bay with the powers he had gained from Necati in exchange for his sister.

The only way Grace could avoid becoming the bride of death would be if a challenger defeated Argo to assume control of the Koori Clan. That victor would also gain Grace as a bride. Grace had brought none other than the Teen Titans today. However, the one suitor she most wanted to succeed was not present. Will had given in to the darkness inside of him, and had become a servant of Death, a Reaper just like Necati. Grace's soul was crushed by the loss of her dear friend, and she was very quiet today.

Perhaps one of the other Titans would be victorious against Argo. Perhaps.

In the center of the village stood the arena, a large open space surrounded by ice chairs. Argo stood from his throne on the edge of the arena and addressed everyone present. His purple eyes were filled with Dark power as he looked at all the suitors his sister had brought. They were a strange, small army of heroes from the south.

"Brothers, Sisters, Titans, and Spirits, today my sister turns 16 years old. It is customary that she marry. I have promised her to Necati, the Grim Reaper. However, there are several men here who would challenge me for the hand of Grace. This is acceptable. I must fight all challengers. Who would like to challenge me first?"

"That would be me..."

There was a sort of long silence before anything was said after Argo spoke up, but it was always rather obvious as to who would go first. JaK always was the eldest Titan and therefore the responsibility of this challenge fell to him. They were absent a leader and the other he had left in command should that leader fall was also gone. Both his teammates had fallen. On the way over here in the T-Jet, JaK could barely keep himself from continually shedding a tear. The other Titan's of course tried to console him, tell him it wasn't his fault, tell him there was nothing he could do about what happened to Psychosis and/or Lance, but none of it took away from the sting and today was no different. JaK came fully prepared for war today. He was coatless, glassesless, and he was wearing a utility belt. He was wearing his wrist shooters that were made by Scope as a present and finally he had a suit case that none of the others knew the contents of.

"I understand your situation Argo, I understand and I know why you've done this, but understand me when I say that this wan't the answer and this route will not lead to anything good. I've never killed a man in my entire life and I don't plan on starting today, but for all intents and purposes, I will win this challenge. Should any life be forfeited today, however, it will be mine and I truly mean that. Grace has a family and she deserves one...Mine died long ago and therefore so did I really."

JaK came ready to die today as always...It wasn't fair to anyone else to have to put their life down. The others didn't know Grace like JaK, Will, and Lance did. They were the original four left from the beginning of the team and therefore now all that anguish, tears, blood, and sacrifice fell to him. He thought of a lot as he dropped the suitcase and took off his winter coat revealing his bare chest, showing his gray skin with burn scars still all over it. JaK had healed well of course, but still, he wasn't fully 100%. He was maybe 90% and for this battle he needed to be 110%, no screw that 150%.

"Everyone pay attention...If I die during this battle, it's still up to you, do not come at this guy with rage and do not attack him bluntly with your full power. I don't want anyone else needlessly getting killed. Examine the weaknesses I force him to show and exploit them, I have faith that well prevail, but....Heh...I guess you have to crack an egg to make an omlet."

A stupid, outplayed humorous joke, JaK's kind of trademark of being a Titan. He had always used outdated references during and before battle. Cliche's made him relaxed, calmed his nerves, made him feel like the situation wasn't as dire as it seemed.

"JaK Sage." Argo smiled. He had met the man once, when he visited his sister at their little tower. JaK Sage seemed like a good man. He was strong and wise: a good successor.

"You are wise, JaK Sage. I would welcome defeat at your hands, but you understand that I cannot hold back. I see that you are injurred. It is unfortunate that you are not at full health. If I could, I would extend this challenge until you were well, but time is not on our side."

Argo addressed the crowd for a moment. "Let it be known that JaK Sage, a Southerner, wishes to fight for the hand of Grace Koori."

And then the fight began. The two men stood about 100 feet away from each other. Tension was high, and not a sound could be heard from the audience.

Argo raised a hand and pointed his finger at JaK. A line of ice as thin as a single hair shot out from his finger too fast to see: five times the speed of sound. If the small 'hair' of ice hit JaK, then every cell in his body would be instantly frozen. All the water inside his body was at risk. This was the very attack that had won Argo the undisputed position of ruler of the Koori people. It was a one-shot attack that was almost impossible to avoid.

Subject: Re: The Koori Tribe (The Argo Fight) Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:48 am

It was an odd day. The Titans had left for a northern tribe that Scope had never heard of and, apparently, they were out to save their own Grace Koori from marrying Necati. Well, Scope wasn't completely unprepared. The JaK had to have explained what was happening to him a hundred times, but, it just still seemed unbelievable. Well, everything that happened to Scope lately seemed unbelievable, to be fair.

Nevertheless, Riley found himself across the globe and getting ready to land in the odd tribe. Their formerly fearless interim leader was ready to break down in tears. "Dude, don't worry," Scope had tried to console him. "With those awesome new wrist blasters, there's no way you can lose," he mused.

Once they landed though, the once synthetic, light mood that Scope had tried to generate had dissolved. The fight was going to start and JaK Sage could die today by the hands of Grace's brother. Scope felt like he couldn't breathe. Neither Will or Lance were there and only guys could fight, so, if JaK was to fail, then it was basically down to the newbies. If JaK died, Grace would surely be lost to them too...

Anyway, Scope had brought all the gear that he could bring if he would have to fight. He had brought extra discs, a few grenades and his new hoverboard that he got from JaK for Christmas.

As the Titans confronted their enemy, Scope felt like they were lining up to die. JaK and Argo seemed to stare each other down as the Titans backed away. A hush fell over the crowd and as Argo seemed to fling something invisible to Scope's eye at his leader, an instant fear hit him. "No!" he whispered to himself. He knew, that if JaK died, so would the Titans...

Guest

As Argo spoke to Sage they walked to the apparent battle field, a big long patch of ice land about 100 feet both ways and a few hill mounds of ice scattered about for obstacles. Not a bad battle field. In the preparation before the battle, JaK put the ruby red gem necklace he received from Voromir over his head and then looked back at Argo while unbuckling the suitcase he had brought with his foot. The battle field was set and the match was ready to start, all that was needed was JaK's confirmation that he was ready.

"I would be upset if you did. You see I'm treating this as sort of a test for myself. I have a vendetta that is unfinished or a mission in my life and I'm pretty sure this will not be my end if fate really wants me to finish it out."

Nightmare. JaK could not quit until he had finally ended his psychotic brother and until that day came he could not allow himself to be with his parents. Until that day, he would continue to fight and battle and destroy his body in the front lines. Until that day...It was all out war.

With a quiet nod he showed that it was time and immediately Argo raised a finger towards him. However, Argo had already made his mistake in this battle and the funny thing was it happened way before them even arriving here. Back at the tower during his past visit he demonstrated his power by freezing and unfreezing the entire building instantly. By doing so he had already alerted Sage to what he was up against...Big mistake, JaK knew exactly how fast he could presumably freeze things. So rather than even attempting an evasion as his opponent raised one single finger JaK used his secret weapon and threw up the briefcase with his foot. As it opened right in front of him just as Argo pointed his index at him and fired the shot the brief case opened up towards JaK in the direct path of the thin stream of ice and blew apart upon impact. The stream continued towards Sage though, and it appeared to have hit him after blasting right through the briefcase, but none could tell because as it made impact a thick cloud of smoke debris was put up. Or so one thought.....

As it would turn out it wasn't a cloud of smoke, but rather steam! Steam being emitted from JaK's body. Discovered when he immediately leaped out of the thick cloud a few moments later with a hole in his upper shoulder from the attack and a wincing pain on his face, but also showed that his entire body was now made of hardened, but still molten magma!?! Yes, in the brief case was a piece of molten rock, the case in itself had been fashioned to keep it from cooling. When JaK threw it up and Argo's attack slowed after colliding with the briefcase, JaK caught the rock in his palm. Nearly instantly burning off all the flesh from his hand originally before armoring up, but that was just surface pain. Sage could of course deal with that. What really bothered him was the strain this armor had on his body. JaK wasn't just a big piece of rock; littering his body like a jigsaw puzzle were lines of still liquid lava. They burned JaK considerably and his healing factor was barely able to compensate, however, he still had to keep this armor on at least until the battle was over. It was the only thing that would keep him from being flash frozen in this fight.

Yes, Argo had made a mistake by showing JaK what he could do and allowing the Titan too much prep. time. Time to ready himself for this epic battle. JaK nearly seemed to be taunting him in a way as he flew out of the steam cloud and flew 14 feet through he air while holding the molten piece of rock at him. It was a way of saying this will not be quick, I know what and who you are, and I came to give you all I had. While holding the rock out and still flying through the air Sage also reformed the molten armor over his wound and then with his free hand he began dispersing a cover fire of proton laser blasts from his wrist shooter, which was also retrofitted and covered in magma armor. The proton fire would blast apart any incoming objects Argo tired to send JaK's way on his decent back to the ground towards him and then as Sage landed near the Koori he tossed the 1200 degree molten rock in his direction knowing Argo was human and simply couldn't just catch it. Also, if he tried to freeze or deflect it he would have to still move out of the way of the object itself. In any case it was perfect distraction to let Sage close the distance and slide across the ice where he would go for a sweep kick. Whether it missed or somehow ice blocked a nearly 900 degree kick it was still going to have be a tough counter for Argo because JaK's extremely hot back melted the top layer of ice on the battle field nearly instantaneously, creating even more steam to make seeing the targets difficult.

Argo raised an eyebrow as JaK emerged from the steam. A lava-man? Impressive. Argo had never asked what JaK was capable of. This would be problematic.

As JaK ran towards him, Argo was suddenly encased in thick ice armor. JaK fired some southern device from his wrist, a laser of some kind. The lasers cut through Argo’s armor way too easily. One actually burned his arm. He instinctively created a wall of ice in front of him, but the lasers just melted through that, again burning through Argo’s armor and leaving minor burns as he tried to dodge.

By now, JaK was close. Argo could feel the heat coming off of him. JaK threw the molten rock at Argo. The rock was easy to dodge, especially after those lasers. Argo shifted to the side, but then noticed that JaK was sliding in for a kick to his legs.

A second before JaK’s kick would have connected, Argo disappeared. The crowd gasped. Where had he gone? A boy pointed up in the sky in amazement as he spotted Argo floating 100 feet above the ground.

Argo had flown up into the air at the speed of sound, dodging the kick and gaining the ‘upper ground.’ He looked down at JaK. He had no idea how long the Titan could keep his lava burning. For now, it was best to fight at a distance.

Argo made a punching motion towards the ground. In an instant, the entire battlefield sunk 200 feet into the ground. The ice and frozen earth had created a massive pit for JaK to fall into. Argo smiled. Lava couldn’t fly. Argo opened his arms wide and then brought them together. Snow and ice came from all around the village to form a giant cap for the pit. Argo packed it together into a solid chunk of ice and dropped it into the pit and on top of JaK. The ‘cap’ fit perfectly in place, leaving just a thin line on all sides.

"That should keep him busy for a while."

Guest

As JaK's kick missed he continued to rotate rather confused. Holy %#!@, this guy was quick! No way purely physical anything was going to truly hurt him unless JaK surprised him. As he looked up he saw Argo in just enough time for him to shatter the entire surface Sage was standing upon and sinking it into the ice continent, but again, JaK was prepared. By reaching into his (also magma covered) utility belt he grabbed a line gun and shot it at the edge of the now cliff side crater and hung there while zipping back up. All of his gadgets were meant to resist molten lava for a period of up to a minute or so, being Wayne tech and all, but still he had to be quick.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

JaK got wide eyed as he saw the huge ice platform coming towards him and again with his free hand grabbed into another compartment of his utility belt and threw a dozen or so thermal mines, however, only near the side closest to him. Then as the covering enclosed the hole a loud boom could be heard under ground....A few moment's passed and then out of the corner of the covering came a fiery red palm. The rest of that part of the cap melted away in it's wake as well, allowing JaK to crawl out while huffing and puffing. He didn't know how long he could keep this up. He was only rather human after all, minus his absorption powers, but he would still try...For Grace, for the team, and most of all to stop the reaper and prove he could alter death's choices one last time.

Upon exiting the man shaped hole his body had burned into the edge of the cap, he replaced his grappling hook and instead took out 9 smoke pellets, which he threw onto the ground to give him cover as so Argo couldn't immediately capitalize upon him. Then out of the smoke JaK locked onto him with both wrist shooters and instead of shooting cover fire this time he shot the single bursts! These were bigger and could definitely blow a hole through brick and stun a human unconscious, which since they were going to come flying from a smoke cloud he hoped Argo wouldn't notice until it was too late.

The sun continued to move higher into the sky. It’s golden rays came cascading downward from the heavens making the snow sparkle with bright white light. The rays refracted outward from the stadium creating a beautiful display of rainbow prisms dancing in the blue sky above painting the mountains every shade of the beautifully crafted rainbow. Just barely visible on the horizon one brilliantly tall mountain stuck out among it’s brothers in the now colored range. The unnatural dark blue tent it had received from the light was oddly discomforting when pit against the white of the few scattered clouds above and snow caps below, one would even say that a mere glance was enough to raise the goose bumps on the back of any man's neck. There at its summit Necati stood his dark cloak flapping around him as the frigid air whipped across his sturdy frame. The reaper’s dark gray eyes narrowed as he watched the battle play out. The contest was going much to his liking, with every passing moment Necati widened the already broad smile across his face. The boy was losing, that much was crystal clear. Grace’s older brother was proving more than a challenge for the so called heroes. Necati’s cold inhuman voice cackled with delight as he watched Jak’s face contort with concentration as he tried to hide the pain. It was obvious that the Titan’s tattered body and current molten state was proving more than he could physically handle. The reaper was sure he would soon collapse from the pressure and strain. Taking this opportunity Necati taunted the pained titan. The Reaper whispered low hisses of doubt along with joyous laughter at Jak's falling attempts to claw his way into the fight. The Reaper’s in organic tones drifted elegantly across the harsh landscape flowing mystically to the arena. There was no doubt that Jak along with all the Titans would hear his taunt and soon after realize his presence and the grim fate that was instore.

In the mean time Necati let his mind wander to a reflection on the dogged determinations the titan's held to so dearly. The Reaper found it truly funny that these creatures, no better than insect’s in his eyes, acted as if they fancied themselves God’s. They ran around claiming to be heroes triumphing for justice, peace and compassion. The titans were all so young and naive. The universe was created to have a perfect balance of life and death, serenity and chaos, justice and prejudice. Where there is love there must be hate. It was the law of the universe. Everything must always be in perfect balance in order to maintain the delicate frame work that kept it from utter collapse. However, they as all young and ignorant forms of life did, could not see the undeniable truth in this. Too often these heroes had the gravest of tunnel vision and the most severe of narcissism.

Nothing made this more evident than this hopeless fight they clang to at this very measure in time. The decrepit fools deluded themselves enough to dared to believe that they could actually challenge a deity that existed long before life even reared its flawed head. The vagabonds gambled that they could cheat Death along with fate and write their own destinies and ignore divine providene. The mere thought brought a taunting shimmer to the Reaper’s eyes. This boy was especially guilty of that. Jak had convinced himself for years that he had been out running destiny but he was oblivious to how far from the truth that was. Even now the “dark teen” was dancing to the beat of time’s drum marching steadily toward his inescapable future. Necati turned to looking out across the vast empty plains of the barren tundra. So pathetic were the creatures on this planet clinging to the hope of free will. Even now Necati could sense that there was still a defiant spark left in the teen’s eyes and the unbreakable resolve he had always held. No doubt the still had that smug look of defiance clearly etched into his features. Necati scowled, the young meta-human had not yet succumbed to his inevitable demise. Like a fleeting moth Jak still hung on to the smallest flicker of a flame that represented the smoldering pile of ash that was hope. Scoffing Necati returned his attention to the fight as a cruel expression slowly drifted across his blemish less face. In the end it really did not matter how this fight ended or whether the titans died here and now or claimed this minor victory. The trap had already been set and they were too far down the rabbit hole to escape now. His pawns were poised to capture the king and win him this seemingly endless game that he had artfully played. The only thing left to do was wait for his last pawn to take its place in the grand design. The titans would all fall into dust as would all life in the universe. He would personally snuff out any flame that dared rear its head in protest. The only thing that kept him in check was his binding to fate and the book of life…but that was a lock for which he had already found the key and particular pawn was already well on its way.

OOC: For clarification Necati is on a mountain in the distance watching the fight. He is no where near Jak.

Subject: Re: The Koori Tribe (The Argo Fight) Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:01 am

Toji growled, seeing a faint orb, black as death, near Jak with his demon sight.Time to start his own plan...."Necabu, or whatever your name is, I challenge thee!! I am Toji Okami, future Cheif of the Okami Clan. Ill fight any dark spirit you set before me!!!" He summoned his katana, the air around him wavering."Be your warriors cowards?!" Some of the crowd shifted, staring at the young, short half-demon warrior, clothed in several layers of winter clothing.
(would it be cool to use Devil Form?)

JaK Sage had escaped from the giant hole. He seemed to be using a lot of Southern technology to his advantage. Another great example was provided as JaK created a thick cloud of smoke to hide himself. Argo did not want to attack blindly, so he waited for JaK to show his hand.

The challenger jumped out of the cloud and fired his blaster weapon again.

Time froze. At least it did for Argo, JaK, and everything in-between. Outside of time, Argo considered the situation. Finding a way to dodge the fire projectiles would be easy enough. He would dodge to the side as soon as time resumed. However, he would need to find a way to attack back with those lasers coming at him. He wouldn’t have enough time to form a large construct while he was dodging lasers.

Perhaps this arena was too small.

Time resumed. Argo immediately dodged to the left, barely avoiding the laser blast. However, instead of stopping, he kept flying at several times the speed of sound. He flew to the mountains miles away from the village.

This might look like a retreat, but Argo saw no problem with that. He merely wanted to expand the fight at a safe distance from the village. Clearly, this fight had outgrown the arena. Argo sent his invitation: the ice that JaK was standing on would slowly rise into the air and fly towards the mountains. There, floating above the peak of the tallest mountain, Argo waited for his opponent to arrive.

"And the earth shall quake in fear..."

Guest

He avoided it? But JaK locked on via the 3D holographic targeting sytem that Scope had built into his writ shooter...He was almost certain it would hit. Not to mention he had dodged with ease, almost as if Argo had perceived exactly where the blast was coming from. What a troublesome guy...He denied the laws of physics as if they didn't apply to him, but looked just as human, if not more so than most people.

Afterwards he made a quick retreat, but also completely lifted up the slab of ice JaK was on and carried it with him. Expanding the battlefield so that could utilize bigger ice weaponry on JaK, more to his advantage...or maybe just access to more of his element. Either way JaK wished they were fighting in the city, something more his style, but he had still been training for this environment too. He could possibly attempt to drag this battle out for the long haul, but sadly, thanks to his armor having lines of molten magma flowing through it, time was not something he could afford.

Upon reaching Argo, Sage could be seen panting deeply with pain etched in his face. No time for witty banter, no time to play it safe. It was now or never, take him down with everything you have or sacrifice Grace to death.

"I'm sorry, but no one else. Necatti will have no more of my friends or my family!"

As JaK spoke he lunged off the ice platform, again fearless as usual in his charge at the hovering opponent in front of him, but still prepared none the less. This time he tried a different approach from the wrist shooters. He stuck his hardened lava hand into the liquid etched cracks in his body and threw forwardth over two dozen strands of lava from his finger tips, which began to cool and harden a they flew from his fingers. This attack if he had to dub it would be called;

"Blades of BLOOD!" - (Cookies to anyone who can guess the anime XD)

The burst of 900 degree magma bullets splattered in an array of directions; up, down, left, right, but JaK perceived Argo might still be able to avoid it of course due to how fast he moves. Which is why as he had flung the heated blood blades at his foe he had used his free hand to retrieve his grappling hook again and then enlargened the fist he had just launched the attack with. Immediately firing it towards Argo afterwards and then if it hit he would zip towards his foe and attempt to nail him with his giant appendage, which was now akin to the size of an oven, but hotter than any household appliance could ever hope to produce. Or maybe instead of zip-lining to Argo he would yank the target towards him, in any case, the result was still going to be the same.

OT: Just in case JaK's armor is confusing anyone it looks a bit like this http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/286/3/5/Brymstone_by_kjmarch.png but of course with hair and he's coated from head to toe. Also, it's black and red instead of blue and yellow.

JaK send a spray of magma bullets flying towards Argo. Argo was able to dodge them by flying a hundred feet to his right. Recovering from the quick motion, Argo saw JaK shoot a metallic device at him. He blocked the grappling hook with an ice shield, but then JaK pulled against the wire and came flying towards Argo with a giant, magma fist.

Argo built up the ice shield as thick as he could make it in the brief time he had to prepare. The shield was 6 feet thick when JaK's punch landed. The punch shattered the ice and melted through it at the same time. The force of the punch sent Argo flying back. Fortunately, his shield had prevented him from getting any burns.

That was too close. Argo had wasted a lot of energy with that emergency block. Fortunately, the grappling hook was no longer attached to his armor. It had fallen with his shield.

Argo flew down to the ground, and then disappeared into the ice. He tunneled deep into the earth, moving ice and frozen earth out of his way and then replacing it behind him. Moving a quarter of a mile to the side, he resurfaced. He could still sense the general area where JaK was thanks to his dark powers.

Argo's face tightened. He exerted his power over the ice covering a mountain and lifted the very mountain into the air. The earth shook as the massive mound of ice and stone was ripped out of the deep. Flying towards JaK, Argo soon caught sight of him. He heaved the massive mountain at JaK, hoping to crush him flat. In the snow-filled mountains, JaK would not be able to move quickly. The giant size of the mountain would flatten this pest. The impact of the mountain would shake the earth again. Finally, the loose, crashing debris came to rest.

"I am sorry, JaK Sage. Please find peace in the afterlife."

Guest

After his attack failed yet again, JaK plummeted towards the ground, but that was ok. Upon impact he enlargened both feet and landed with a large thud. His two large appendages taking the brunt of the fall and then returned to normal as he rolled to one knee and looked around for Argo. He was again enshrouded in a bit of mist while his body melted the ice around him and he grasped his heart with a free hand while moving rather wobbly.

"Where the hell did he?"

But, of course before JaK could say "Go" there was a tremendous rumbling and then from above a huge mountain moving came into view. This was it, this was how JaK was going out? Well at least you couldn't say it wasn't a heroic death, and at least you couldn't say it wans't spectacular, but even still, JaK couldn't accept it...Or could he. He dispelled his magma armor upon seeing the mountain come tumbling towards him like an unavoidable avalanche. Taking a deep breath while reaching into his utility belt and throwing multiple objects on the ground as if a toddler who had finished playing with their toys. This was how it ended for him and he somewhat felt a relief...A sort of freedom as he closed his eyes.

Then JaK was no more, the entire mountain came crashing down on his position and Sage disappeared from view. In his current state he couldn't have avoided that, the armor itself was going to kill him most likely if he wore it any longer anyway, but like he said, he exposed Argo's weaknesses; His armor was extremely weak to fire and explosives, plus now everyone knew what he was capable of...Now if the others could just learn from Sage's sacrifice, maybe they wouldn't follow in his footsteps. The sad thing was, the last thing going through JaK's mind wasn't even Argo, or Nightmare, or Death, or even Grace and how he failed her. It was his parents, they smiled at him and he smiled back at them and then his entire life flashed before his eyes as a single tear proceeded from his pupil...

Guest

Argo reappeared back at in the village arena. The fact that he returned alone told the crowds what the outcome had been.

Argo looked at his people with dreary eyes. He had taken no pleasure from killing JaK. "I will need a short respite before the next challenger. In one hour's time, let the challenger stand ready." The Koori disappeared into a building, exhausted.

___________________________
Grace's eyes were dry. She couldn't cry, no matter how much she wanted to. She had lost hope long ago, when Will became Necati. Why were the others now risking their lives for her sake? Why had Sage fought to his death to help her? Surely, it was all in vain at this point. Grace felt sorry for ever asking the Titans to help. She had brought this upon them. She had killed Sage.
___________________________

An old man from the crowd approached Toji slowly. "Please, Spirit, put your sword away. The Reaper is not here to fight. As terrible as it is, you are the guest here, not him. He cannot be challenged here, and no good would come from fighting him whether you win or lose. If you truly want to help, then be the next challenger. Will you be ready to fight in 1 hour's time?"

Subject: Re: The Koori Tribe (The Argo Fight) Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:07 am

Toji yelled, seeing Jak dissappear under the mountain."Brother!!!" Clenching his fists, Tojis eyes glowed in rage, his anger buildign up as the air started whirling around him.Looking at the old man, the demon inside him was clear in Toji's eyes."...Yes. Ill be ready. Blood...for blood..." Walking past Grace, he laid his hand on her shoulder."Big sister, do not feel guilty. It was his own choice...As it is mine..."

A hour later....

Toji walked out of the jet, his new gear on. It looked like his usual uniform, but it was completly bullet and knife proof, so he wouldnt have to constantly replace it after each battle.The air around him was too hot for a coat. He had finally found a way to heat himself.Looking at the calasped mountain, Toji smiles sadly."For you, brother..." He looks at his oppenant, completly and utterly serious."Be you ready?" He holds out his hand, summoning the Dark Katana.
