[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

"aaall too well..." the high general replies, still massaging his temples while the female had passed out behind the table, looking rather cute despite being what some would consider a goddess of death and destruction

[Wraithblade6]

@Wraithblade6
"Minx! MINX! MINX! MINX! MINX!" Saeid says, repeatedly slamming his blade against the shield, obviously going a bit nuts due to the poison, adrenaline, and the painful memories.

@supertinyking

"Shhhh..." Eclipse does his best to grapple Saeid into a hug.

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"Sorry about that....well..not overly so. Finding out about some of the doings of the Governor, I would of done much worse. A lobotomy....disgusting. That's an absolute last resort. He did it as a first means....but, I digress. Delta here is the new governor of this little town of misery." The Emperor says, and Delta bows her head to the general, the swollen bruised state of her face making her hard to tell it's her. Tide returns, carrying a book that the Governor commonly kept with him. "I found his personal log about all the shady shit he was doing here." Tide says, before said book fries in his hands. "Not surprising something handled by that greasy rat burns so well..." He says, as again, it is reduced to ash. "..why did you burn it, and why do it in front of them?" The Emperor asks. "Because, showing off is fun, and I figured I'd tell them there was a book filled with shady deeds. Better than them being in total darkness." Tide retorts, before looking at the sleeping general. ".....Hehehehe. She looks almost harmless like that..sorta sickening." He says, sweet at first, disgusted by the end.

Frothing at the mouth, Saeid is hugged, but fights it. Shaula laughs, finding it exceptionally funny. After a good five minutes, Saeid calms down. "..Shit, where was I for the last 20 minutes?" He asks, confused.
"In a drug fueled rage." Shaula responds, and Saeid shrugs. "Ehh, did I hurt anyone? If no, then no skin off my n-...I feel stronger. Why do I feel stronger?" Saeid asks, his body far more muscular.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"give it a minute" the high general replies evenly as she breathes in incredibly deeply before seeming to bark, the air between her and the wall warping before the wall is destroyed. "there's a reason she's called 'mute'. anyway, i'm not surprised he was so shady, we've kept our more secretive dealings secretive until they were complete but so as to prevent catastrophic failure if someone were to get a hold of them before they were complete but... he... well" the high general replies evenly before looking over towards tide

"I think I had better resign myself to accompanying you for the rest of your lifetime." Eclipse sighs.

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"...He threatened me. I killed him. simple as that." Tide says. He smiles, and moves as if to back hand delta, making her flinch. "Hehehe.." He chuckles, and Delta just looks at her feet in shame. Tide chuckles more, seeing her shame. The Emperor glances at Tide, and he goes from a tad sadistic, to militarily in line in a moment, standing at attention. "...Now, what do you want in order to smooth this over." The emperor says to the high general.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"frankly, we've gotten everything we wanted from you. we have star ships of our own, have discovered new planes of existence and ways to travel to them, have developed teleportation before you, and now have finally developed terraforming. We've surpassed you. your scientists are now useless, your weaponry outdated, and your troops no longer needed. All that you really have to offer is superficial save for one thing" the high general replies evenly, nodding towards tide

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Sighing, the emperor looks at the general. "I don't know what the governor says, but we don't give our people away like cattle. Tide is not on the table." The emperor says. "If it's of extreme problem, me and mine will leave. I do take it you won't stab us in the back after all the kindnesses we showed you...." The emperor says. Tide looks at the general. "They won't. I've heard about this kind. They don't seem like the gutless cowards who would attack allies." He says.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"aside from that, supplies mostly. we can always use fuel for reprocessing and we're begining a venture to another realm with something called a 'coniferous forest' that we've heard of but have never actually seen" the high general replies evenly, the female letting out another sonic bark that completely destroys the wall next to her

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
When she goes to bark, Tide places a hand to his helmet's ear, and listens. "..Music to my ears." He says. The Emperor's brow furrows. "....How much would we have to give to get our hands on that multi-dimensional travel." He states, less asks. Delta looks rather miserable, and humbled.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"considering your lack of ability to produce the necessary materials, energy, or interesting items to trade for said things in order to get said things from us i doubt that" the high general replies evenly

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"...How about a little bet." Tide says, smiling. "...One of your generals v.s me. If I win, we get the tech we're looking for....if they win, well, I'll tell you a secret you really wish to hear." Tide says, and the emperor looks over as if to say something, before shrugging, and turning to look at the general. "...The man has issued a offer. Do you wish to take it?" The Emperor asks the high male general.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"very well, i suppose it's in my best interest to win this" the high general replies evenly, removing his coat as he stands and looking rather buff considering how lean and lithe his race was

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Tide grins under his helmet, and he cracks his neck. "Well, shall we get down to it here, or do you wish for us to take this..outside?" He asks, and the emperor sighs. "...All hell will break lose, one way, or another...." He says. Delta shakes her head. "....Why did I ever loose to that asshole.." She says, and this causes tide to look over. "...Smile. Nice and wide." he says. She does so, obviously painful with her swollen face. "...Good. Now, if you want to keep those teeth left in your mouth, I'd watch your mouth." Tide growls, and Delta stops smiling, but only looks pissed off at this point. Tide looks back at the general. "well, are we doing this now, or when outside the city?" He asks getting impatient.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

he finds the general rather close already upon him, poking his chest before the armor crumples and shatters, launching tide through the walls behind him and out of the building... into the next one... and so on until he leaves the city... and lands a good twenty miles away. "this shan't take long" the high general remarks dryly as he walks over to the stairs

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
The blow, surprisingly, only knocks him into the second building. Tide presses his legs against said building, launching himself back, tackling into the high general at enough force it causes a damaged rib, or two. Nothing serious, but enough to hurt. After the tackle, Tide locks his foe into a full nelson, his strength managing to over power the general. Soon, a exceptionally powerful blast of power rips into the high general, pain searing though him...Something made Tide far stronger than first thought. The emperor rested his arm on the hilt of his sword, watching the fight, grinning a little.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

The high general knees tide in the face, using his own momentuum to launch the armored giant into the roof before pulling him down, the general's eyes widening before he plunges a claw into the beast's open chest plate, viciously mauling tide and completely removing his internal organs, bones, and muscles without remorse or pause, his strength far surpassing the super soldier's even with his emperor present. "what... is the meaning of this?" the high general asks with a growl, pointing at the remnants of the once living sergal now in a metal coffin that had once served as his armor

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
As the general attempted to maul him, electricity coursed though him at such extremes, paralyzing him. His biological functions were being disrupted via the sheer flow of electricity. Using this to his advantage, Tide wraps his synth muscle arm around the generals neck, and channels an exceptionally high amount of voltage though him, causing not only the general's armor to melt on his body, but the flooring beneath them to melt from the residual heat. With liquid metal burning into his arm, Tide lets out a growl loud enough to be heard for miles, but only lets go when the general has been forced out cold with this power.

@Wraithblade6
"Hey man, if you want, you can go do your own thing.....I'm just saying. I don't need a babysitter." Saeid says, chuckling a little, flexing. Shaula sorta thinks for a moment. "...I need to figure out how to improve my poisons.....hmm. Saeid, mind if I travel with you and use you as a ginny pig?" She asks him, and Saeid thinks for a moment.
"...Ya know what, why the hell not? If it makes me stronger in the end, no skin of my nose." He chuckles, and Shaula looks dumbfounded. "....You're a total moron, or a egomaniac. Maybe both." She states.
"Both wrong. Semi-suicidal." Saeid says, before laughing. Shaula sighs, and the two begin to walk off, before a portal opens. From it, steps a man with a shield that bares the likeness of the sun, a blade that emanates power, and a iron helmet with a red feather. His shirt has been torn the shreds, armor broken and not repaired. This revealed his extremely muscular structure as of current, and his many scars on his body.
"...Hello Darkside. I've waited for this day for many, many years. Prepare to feel the might of the sun." Solaire states, anger filling his voice. "...I'm not Darkside. I'm Saeid. Darkside was killed a few days ago." Saeid says, sorta sweating. Solaire freezes for a moment, before bashing his head into the sand.
"I WAS A FEW DAYS OFF?! ALL THIS TRAINING FOR NOTHING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screams, but then Saeid scratches his chin. "..Well, it wasn't for nothing. You look fucking scary dude." Saeid says, trying to comfort the warrior. Solaire looks up at him. "...I didn't want to look scary....I'm sorry if I did scare you. I....I'm just..having a moment." Solaire says, sitting in the sand, rather upset. Saeid shrugs, and sits beside him. "He's payed for his crimes my friend....and whatever he did, you can undo. Rebuild kingdoms, break curses, resurrect loved ones. Now, it's all possible due to the training you underwent." Saeid says, and Solaire nods. "..Thank you, friend. You've bolstered my spirits against the darkness of sadness......." Solaire says, before standing, looking towards the sky..and striking the magnificent pose.
"PPPRRRAAAIIISSSSEEEEEEE THHHHEEEEE SSSSUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" He roars out, and Saeid strikes the pose as well, his facial expression telling most that he finds it a tad silly, by his grin.
