_{Jeff's Workshop}

[SuperFlash]

Upon arriving at the lab Jeff approached the door and stopped. "Well This is it. Jeff Industries.. Still working on a better name to be honest but it works for now" Jeff said to Jenso as he let the door do a eye scan on him causing it to unlock.
To not much surprised the lab like the rest of the city looked pretty darn hi-tech beaming with various defenses from security cameras to laser guns spread around. Inside the place seemed to be a few different rooms with tables that looked to have various projects left on them.

"To think I started out making gauntlets out of grass and twigs... kinda crazy to think I made it this far." Jeff muttered quietly to himself as he approached one of the tables and placed Jenso down on it. "Now this is mainly used to cyborgs and such as I'm mainly a mechanic of sorts but it does have some technology here that should have that leg of yours patched up without really needing to swap it out for a robot one. So don't worry about that."

The table then began to scan Jenso and pick up the various wound spots on his body administrating shots to ease the pain and starting to patch up the leg wound of his. "So tell me, now that we're alone. What caused you to be sent flying in the sky as a ball of fire?"

[Jensoman]

Jenso looked at Jeff and frowned. "Even if I told you, I doubt you'd believe me." Jenso replied, staring at his leg that was being healed. "I owe you for saving me back there...My name is Jenso. Thanks for your help, Jeff!" Jenso added, with a wide grin on his face. He sighed deeply and looked at him. "Well, since I'm waiting I guess I might as well tell you. A man in red clothing, wearing a black mask with red eyes launched a laser through my left leg. He's the one who injured my friends and nearly killed them. His name is Yzeira. I barely managed to escape. He can travel between dimensions, and he leads a group of people called the Order of Chaos. They kill anyone they want, whenever and wherever they want, either out of sheer pleasure or to gain something." Jenso stated. He prepared himself for the moment when Jeff would call him crazy.

[SuperFlash]

Jeff froze there for a moment upon hearing Jenso's words before clenching his fist with what looked to be a sudden change to anger. A masked man... Those words echoed through his head as memories of his past flashed through his head as a reminder to him of his past. "A mask man you say. I get the feeling our meeting here today has more to it then I thought."

Jeff started to pace across the room for a moment before speaking once again, he wanted to be sure he chose his words wisely.
"You see, there was this one man with a similar description a while back that destroyed this small village a good ways from here, the place I originally come from. To put it bluntly, the guy pretty much did it just cause he was bored and hoped to find something worth his time and I still don't quite get what he truly wanted other then that. Makes me sick to my stomach that these guys seem to still be up to no good. A lot of people lost there lives and I still haven't found out what happened to my best friend since then."

[Jensoman]

Jenso's eyes widened as Flash told him his story and he clenched his fists. He grit his teeth in anger. "Is that so..." Jenso muttered in an angry tone, looking at the ground. "That's why...that's why I'm going to take them all down. One of them, Prisma, killed my entire village and nearly killed me. Well, technically he DID kill me, but Nexus, another one from the Order, revived me from death. And he also revived me from death after I fought Yzeira not too long ago. He only managed to do it because most of my body was still intact, though. He's a good guy. He wears a black mask like the rest of them, with blue clothing. He's my friend, and the only one from the whole lot of them that I trust." Jenso stated, as his leg had been fully patched up. He stood up. He looked confidently at Jeff.

"I'm going to stop them once and for all, so nobody in the world has to suffer due to their actions ever again."

[SuperFlash]

"So one of them is good and part of that order?" Jeff asked confused on this concept, but willing to accept it nonetheless. "The one who destroyed my village was the buff yellow haired one give I at least manged to land a scar on him before, but I was sent flying almost a couple towns away and survived out of pure luck of meeting his old guy. Since then I came across these people and been trying to build my way up and advance my tech and powers. Anything to get an edge on them." Jeff walked up to Jenso held his hand up letting a gust of wind fly forth.

"I'm gonna guess you have fire right? Mine was wind."

[Jensoman]

Jenso smiled and raised his left hand. He opened his palm and created a flame within. It dispersed shortly afterwards. "Yep...though the whole rocket burst thing from my feet that you saw was actually me fusing my Arcane and Ki to create even stronger flames then usual. I can do rocket bursts with my normal flame powers too, but they are not that strong." Jenso stated. "I still haven't mastered that white flame form yet, though."

Jenso frowned as Jeff gave a vague description about Rajaka. "That guy's name is Rajaka. He's a real powerhouse...I ended up fighting him in the arena in Feralda Kingdom. I managed to rip his arm off with one of my white flame attacks, but he managed to defeat me. He would have killed me, but my friends Lark, his pet friend Pij and Mikey saved me. The whole thing got out of hand, and we ended up fighting Rajaka, Yzeira, and another masked guy with green clothing. That one's called Zelriane, and he's incredibly fast. There was this one other masked girl named Shadra too, but she didn't really fight. She seems to be able to create portals or something...and maybe heal injuries too." Jenso added. "Hey, at least I got a good blow in on Rajaka, right?" He stated with a wide grin on his face.

[SuperFlash]

Jeff's eyes widened in shock. "You managed to actually take off one of his limbs?" He then paused for a moment before going to take a seat in a chair next to where Jenso was being patched up still. "This form of yours, you might actually be able to stop these people. If I can be of any help in that regard let me know, I still would like another shot at Rajaka now that I've grown stronger myself."

With that the machine that examining Jenso let out a loud beeping sound before seeming to shutoff. "Well it seems you're all patched up for now, a good nights rest and you should be back to fighting condition. Well mostly anyways, I'd still try to avoid taking any really bad blows to that leg."

[Jensoman]

Jenso nodded and smiled at Jeff. "Thanks for the help man! Don't worry, my Ki will heal the rest of the injury in time. It's just not strong enough to instantly heal a gaping hole in my leg." Jenso stated. "The Order of Chaos aren't my only problem right now, though. The King of Feralda Kingdom and his men have been draining the energy of the losers from the yearly tournament that they've been holding, and awarding their energy to the victor. I wouldn't mind resting for a day, but I'd need someone to keep an eye on my friends. Their energy is very high like mine, and the King may attempt to drain their energy. This isn't public knowledge, but I know for a fact that he's been doing this...I'm pretty sure one of my friends died when he drained his energy. I couldn't sense him anymore back in Feralda Kingdom. That wasn't the King's doing, but some of his men did it. They're led by Sera. Looks like he wanted to drain people without the king's knowledge. But, at any rate, I want to take the king down while he's here." Jenso said to Jeff. "I'm not in a fighting condition though, so for now I'll have to follow up on your suggestion to rest. No point charging in recklessly and getting myself killed."

[SuperFlash]

"Thats fine" Jeff said as his focus started to shift to a few of the unfinished projects that remained on the desks. "Feel free to use the bed in the spare room that's down the hall to the right." Jeff the pointed in the general direction to make sure Jenso wouldn't by any chance get lost along the way.
"In the meanwhile, I'm gonna finish a few things that I was gathering these supplies for. Well before you ended up falling for the sky like that. We can go check up on those friends of yours afterwards."

[Jensoman]

Jenso frowned as Jeff spoke. He wanted to be sure that his friends were okay, and he was still not certain that they would be safe within the Med-bay. But regardless, there was nothing he could do right now. "Alright, thanks for the help!" Jenso shouted, and headed towards the bed. He wasn't sure if he could trust Jeff completely yet, but it seemed like he was a good guy. He got into the bed and attempted to sleep.

_{The Sunlight Is Blotted Out By Smog}

Jenso awoke, jolted out of his dreams by an explosive noise. One of Jeff's experiments blew up, any not in good company either.

"Jeff, this is the last straw!" A woman's voice cried out from the other room. A tall woman in a white lab coat was completely covered in soot from head to tow. She glared at Jeff angrily with her fists clenched.

[Jensoman]

Jenso's eyes flashed wide open as the explosion occured. "HOLY SHIT!!!" Jenso shrieked, hopping out of bed immediately. He dashed through the building, following the trail of smoke until he reached Jeff and the woman. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!" He screamed.

[SuperFlash]

"Hey don't blame this one on me!" Jeff argued back at the woman as he started to shake off some of the soot that got all over his face. "Sometimes we need to go through a couple mishaps before we figure out what exactly works. That's just how science works."

Jeff paused for a moment before letting himself calm down and speaking calm and collected once more. "Look I'm sorry, but we both know were near a breakthrough with these enhancements." Jeff voice then started to grow excited as his words continued. "Just think of it! A metal alloy pushed past the regular limits of technological advancements that also boast arcane prowess. Something of that caliber could create the most legendary of tools, armors, and weapons!"

[tex]

"This many mishaps Jeff?? I don't care about your illusions! It's been years since you've shown up here, and I admit that your automotons have made Tech-mo a new paragon of technology in the tri-states, but enough is enough!" She shouted back. The woman then noticed Jenso and went silent. She glared at him, and then back to Jeff. "Who is this?"

[Jensoman]

Jenso looked at the woman and blinked. "Uh...hello! I'm Jenso!" Jenso shouted, smiling at her with a wide grin on his face. Jenso suddenly looked down at his left leg and removed the patching on his wound, realising that he had been moving around so fast just now before even checking it. It appeared that the wound had been fully healed, but still left a circe-shaped scar where the laser had struck him. "Good...it's fully healed." Jenso said with a tone of relief. "And I feel a lot better now too, and it's all thanks to you! Thanks again!" Jenso said to Jeff in a cheerful tone.

[SuperFlash]

"whoops..." Jeff quietly muttered to himself realizing he completely forgot to tell his lovely yet quite temperamental assistant about the man who flew out of the sky in a ball of fire.
"Well yeah, he kinda crash landed here and needed to be patched up. Nothing my gift for science couldn't handle! hahahaa..." Jeff responded trying to play the whole thing off despite knowing it was quite the unlikely situation.

[tex]

The woman glared at Jeff and shook her head before smiling back at Jenso. She turned to Jeff again and sighed. "Honestly, we don't have the funds to be giving people free room and board!" She announced, dismissing the thought a moment later. "Are you ready for the welcoming ceremony? I've already spoken with Albert. We shouldn't miss up the chance to impress him with our newest inventions! Every since he took Tech-mo under his wing, he's been handing out grants left and right.."

[Jensoman]

"You must be talking about the King of Feralda." Jenso stated in a serious tone, as his smile dissapeared. He tried to sense Lark and Mikey's presences to see if their energies were still stable and strong. He hadn't been able to check on them all night, so it concerned him somewhat. "Where is he now?"
