Echoes of the Spirit IC

[Ernest]

Ernest just pouted and said " aw come on don't be such a worry wo this might be some of our last nights I dont know about you but I'll like to die smiling knowing that I had a short and awesome party" as he walked over to fin and asked while bowing and offering his hand "may I have this dance" looking like a old aristocratic wanting to dance.

"Yes, we need to conserve our strengths...we'll need even to the last bit of stamina till our bodies break down to the point not even a miracle can make them functional again, if victory will ask for that."Kizu replied to Ben's question, he was glad someone got the big picture.
"Us all....huh"Kizu thought"well then don't ignore the rest". He walked over to a couch in the room and leaned on his back."Also...that other girl's speech from earlier...she hates us, huh?Sometimes I really hate my intuition..."he thought as he suddenly had a feeling he had to be somewhere. He quickly jumped back on his feet and spoke"sorry, but I gotta go somewhere...leader business... Ben, Ernest, can you take care of the others while I'm gone?".

[Oliver]

"Will do," Ben replied hesitantly, their leader leaving them after finding out people were already murdering out there made him uneasy. Who's to say he wouldn't get ambushed as well? He quickly shook that thought out of his head and decided to disregard it, he was sure Kizu would be able to handle himself.

Ben watched him leave before turning back to the group with a confused look on his face. Ben scratched his head, these people looked like fully capable members of society, how exactly would one 'take care of them'? "Um...let's go sleep now?" Was all he found himself wanting to say. He definitely wasn't good at this.

Ernest just yawned and said "so who's up to sharing about the world they came from or what world you recently visited in my case. In my case let's just say I jump around a lot and my luck with new worlds are horrible the last place I remember before this tornament I got dropped in this world where being human wasn't as normal being a vampire or demon. So I got stuck in actually going to the school since I couldn't remember why exactly I was there so I had a pretty peaceful life but after a while I started to remember the fuel I loved was there and she had feelings for one of my friends and I got stuck in that dreaded friend zone. But after a few months of pretty much watching the girl I loved and was on the verge of marrying till she ran off was having the happiest time in her life while I was suffering I snapped and I went beserk almost killed my friends until one of my close friends stopped me..... And here I am stuck for has to be from my understanding "my second time in this'd tournament and last time I kinda lost my head" he said the last part jokingly while looking around as if asking "who's next"

Kizu was on the shores of the island admiring the waves as they clashed with the rocky surface and the outlines made of stone boulders. He needed some way to cool off after he kind of lost confidence in his team, yet he knew that there was no escaping without winning, and a unwavering trust in his comrades is indispensable for a good leader. He had to hang on a while longer. There was however something more... something he did not tell the team, the rich found out about his team's new, sixth member and thus added some extra:his team had to defeat both of the remaining two teams one after another. He only found it out from a messenger once he walked out of the hotel, but he thought the others had enough pressure put on them already, this was the leader's burden to bear.
"Wha--?"he thought as his instincts told him to jump out of the way, he in doing so dodged a deadly hawk made of fire which hit one of the waves, being extinguished immediately.
"Who's there?!"he asked as two strange individuals walked out of the shadows. "Nice one, but on the other hand I would be dissapointed if the opposing team's leader couldn't do at least this much." one of them spoke, he was a human of medium height with short, brown hair, black eyes, white gloves and black shirt under a white jacket with white leather pants along with 3 blue belts:one straight across his hip and the other two's left half hanging one under the other's. His legs were wrapped by a black bandage from the knee all the way till close to the toes in the place of socks and shoes"Hi there, name's Chuck, Chuck Brown of Team Shackrux".
"Yeah.... also known as Mr. Virgin"added a slightly smaller male beside him, he had black gloves and black shirt under a white jacket, with black hair and eyes and lastly a black collar. He was wearing brown pants with two crossed belts.
"I'm Eric, Eric Raingate of Team Rookwood"he spoke as the two approached him.
"So..."Kizu spoke after both of them told him about themselves"you Chuck are here because of a vendetta, and you Eric are looking for your sister?" he asked, the two nodding as Eric added"our master is a mad scientist who seeks to make the perfect, ultimate biological weapon, we are but tests and asisstants. I knew it was quite a gamble to let him modify me, but I had to do it to have a chance at finding her...whatever it took...".
Kizu noticed a single tear falling down his cheek as he crossed his arms, Chuck placing his own behind his back and whistling as Kizu spoke"hang in there...at least you got a sister to save....by blood or not" "sorry...I didn't wish to remind you of your loss" they then just silently watched the waves standing side by side with Kizu in the middle.
"Well I could have gotten more info about you and your teams..." Kizu spoke to break the silence as they replied"sorry, won't do" they spoke in unison "BUT that means that you're honorable, I like that in an opponent...I'm off now, see ya"he soon returned to the room 302.
"What did I miss?"he asked with a small smile.

[Ernest]

Ernest pouted and said "no one wanted to dance with me not even sleepy head but yeah we're just sharing about the last worlds we visited or lived in"

[SilentDespair]

Kizu nodded at Ernest, then began his own turn of story-telling"Well in my previous dimension see...there was this whole academy I had made friends at, at the same time I bestowed the role of protector of the academy upon myself. Alot of stuff happened... from the time a gang of imps attacked the school which I defeated single-handedly to the time some homo necromancer tried to kill my ex, to the time my dad tried to force me to go back to my village somewhere in the frozen mountains, to the time my said ex betrayed me and started hitting on my best friend, to the time some dumbass jerk and a ice slut attacked the school. Shortly after the last one I got taken away and teleported here. I gotta hand it to my ex though, if she hadn't ruined my life"he looked at his left palm"then I would never have returned to my village to become stronger post-haste. I didn't become stronger for revenge, but after all that happened I knew my best friend was next, which I was right about, and all that was left to my life as I knew it was my psychological pain and my battles to protect the school.... nothing more.".

Sandra wasn't confident about telling the group about her true self, even if they already knew she was a Tel'Chak she never liked admitting it, preferring to convince herself as well as others that she was normal something she wouldn't be able to hide when the fighting started. She stood dropping the glass that left her hand bloodied as she listened to Kizu's story.

She decided that Kizu was like her completely emotionally involved with this event, she wasn't entirely sure Ernest was as he seemed to be very light hearted something she physically couldn't do, it seemed to take every ounce of her strength to keep her from tears. “I'm sorry Kizu.” She blurted out by complete accident. “I'm also sorry we couldn't treat this day as a party.” She looked at Ernest when continuing her speech. “ But to make this day a party would almost feel like we had succumb to idea of this being our last day. None of us can think like that.” Sandra was trying not to sound overly dramatic and covered her words with a slight smile afterwards.

“I don't know why I'm here. I lived a normal married life back with the huma...” She froze her words. “... With my husband.” She mentally gave a sigh of relief as she had nearly already given up the gun. “I'm not a great fighter, I know some martial arts but I don't belong in this tournament, I feel like Sonya blade in Mortal Kombat, faced against monsters and people with great power.” She slightly confused if anyone would get her reference, but again hoped it would disillusion them into thinking she was human especially since many people are often terrified of symbiotic beings.

"It's alright... I probably would have wound up against some jerks anyways... whether it's here or my dimension there would have been little difference, as I got nothing left to my life but the battles, the surge of adrenaline which beats against the back of my eyeballs everytime I clench my fists against some idiot, the feeling of mutual respect, or mutual hate as you beat each other down to the last man standing....I am so aware that the interval during which my well being is in danger is also the only time I feel alive, the joys of battle I suppose... with great irony in keyword "joy"."he looked up"if anything, then this chain of battles will only let me accommodate to my new to-be lifestyle"then suddenly glanced to the side with a pained expression, lowering his voice to the point of whispering to himself"if only they hadn't taken....that....".

[Ernest]

Ernest just grinned and said putting his hand up for kizu to high five "yeah annoyed boyfriends joke joke and its okay I already know not everyone is as......well mentally ill as me but hey atleast we can try our best to enjoy what's happening here rather it be you two finding love" he said jokingly rubbing there heads like a best friend would and then pointed at himself " to get his memories back even if they were painful who would like to live with out even knowing who they are? And what do you know I might get her to finally dance with me by the end of this " he said motioning to fin. Ernest had the habit as seeing everything as a game that you can never let get the better of you and when it did it ended usually ended in him not caring about enemy or for and him being hated by everyone in the end one of the sad parts of being a creature who embodies the end.
