Just a few minutes behind him, a few other Sweepers followed, wanting to see the fight. He couldn't care less about spectators however, he was more concerned that Phantom was going to get himself killed. Zipping past players and over ramps and stairs, Arms Slave was near the gate. However the gate was open to allow players to come in and out freely, and through the gate Arms Slave could see Eclipse Princess. He could see that her name was in red, a sign that she had declared herself an Outlaw. Arms Slave said yesterday that he would hunt any outlaw down, regardless if they were part of the Ebony Strykers or not. Eris was testing his patience by doing this. As he got closer, Arms Slave skidded to a halt about thirty feet in front of Eclipse Princess. He parked the bike and pointed towards a random player who was watching the fight. [color=#008b45]"Take this bike back to the Guild Hall."[/color] The player, eager to try and ride, took the bike. With some difficulty he managed to drive away as an audience formed around the buildings and streets, wanting to watch Arms Slave fight against the stronger player. Arms Slave did not see Phantom Regality anywhere. He could only assume the worse; that the foolish necromancer tried to take Eclipse Princess head on and died. Arms Slave couldn't say he knew the kid very well or for very long. He literally just met him near the end of the last battle. But the kid showed promise and loyalty, two things that Arms Slave values. And he was willing to fight, and even die, not for himself but for Arms Slave and the Sweepers. Such dedication was hard to come across since most of the time it was just words and false promises. Arms Slave could only hope that Phantom didn't hold it against Arms Slave for being too late. [color=#008b45]"Let me guess... You're one of those types who think only the strongest survive, and that the weak should just be fodder. You don't care a thing about cooperation, friendship, or any of that communal stuff. As long as you can keep on killing and fighting, everything will be all fine and dandy for you. But one day that strength is going to fail you. And your every-person-for-themselves philosophy will be your end."[/color] Arms Slave activated his Aura of Agony, not bothering to issue a formal duel. This way Eclipse Princess's attacks would be focused solely on him. [color=#008b45]"I don't know why you joined the Ebony Stykers, but I doubt it was because you respected anyone in it. And you're either stupid or short-sighted to have joined the only guild who publicly allied themselves to the Sweepers. But that suits you, doesn't it? Just by being here you're causing problems. [b]Fine by me.[/b] Because I got just the solution."[/color] Arms Slave draw out his weapons. But instead of his usual load out of two shields and two heavy slashing weapons, he instead equipped four daggers. Specifically, they were parry daggers. Normally Arms Slave used heavier equipment for the purpose of tanking damage from hard hitting mobs, but in a duel the only people he had to worry about was himself and his opponent. So he could afford to loose the shields and show off a different aspect of his tankiness: his speed. [color=#008b45]"Whoever loses leaves the Ebony Strykers. Now maybe an honorless bitch like you won't do it even if I grind your face into the dirt, but with everyone here as my witness, if you defeat me I'll leave the Strykers and leave you and your friends in peace. Either way, only one of us walks away from this."[/color] [@KoL][@Mega Birb] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/vJxiQ6a.png[/img] [color=#cd2626][H2]RETSU GOROSHI[/H2][/color][/center] Retsu said nothing at Chiyo's remark. She swore that Chiyo wasn't such a... Bitch. But maybe that was just because Retsu never really interacted with the White King. And knowing everything she does now, Retsu could certainly see the White King's darker side. [color=#cd2626]"Let's go."[/color] After the girls left, Retsu activated her scanner. She hasn't used it in a while, but this way she could scan the chips of those within a 50 feet of her to make sure there aren't any eaves droppers. Retsu had a few things she needed to tell Yoshino that she couldn't waste time saying in an e-mail. [color=#cd2626]"There is a dispute in the Ebony Strykers. It seems that Eclipse Princess has decided to attack any Sweeper who goes out the main gate due to Arms Slave's actions yesterday. Based off the most recent update, Arms Slave himself has gone to confront her. Ever since Eclipse Princess revealed her identity and her e-mail had been spread into the internet, we have intercepted talk about those who are after her. As for Arms Slave, someone has already been sent to deal with him."[/color] Of course Retsu didn't actually do it until now. She had been looking through her contact list for her non-sweeper allied contacts to see if any of them could deal with Arms Slave's foolishness. How they did it she didn't care for. As long as they could get him to stop, or put him on a leash. When she found one, she sent an e-mail to message the player.
