Riyakou ponders for a moment, then comes to a solution.

"Here's what we do. First, I transport us to the nearest city, preferably in a shopping center. Lots of light. Second, I conjure up a wind that can take Cheerio to the top of the building. No one would suspect a wind current, especially atop a skyscraper. Third, Boom and I speed hike it the rest of the way, It's going to be pretty light-enduced, so Boom, you might get dizzy."

Riyakou pauses for a moment.

"Don't puke on me."

"No promises!" says Boom with a smile. Then he sits down, waiting to be transported along with Jironobou.

"Before we go, I want to make one thing clear,"

"My name..." As Jiro says this, he clears his throat.

Is Jironobou."

(OOC: Hero-no-boo)

"Yeah, Feeluponyou, whatever."

Riyakou walks over to the center of the cell.

"Alright, close your eyes, guys! I'm about to have a little fun!"

Riyakou lifts his arms into the air, and the psionic cell begins to grow blindingly bright as he absorbs tremendous light from it. After a moment, he snaps his fingers, and the psionic cell goes white with explosion.

The light from the explosion transports them to Ford City Mall in Chicago. Shoppers from every angle scream and run in shock and fear of the sudden blast of light. Riyakou, ignoring the crowd, speeds forward, and ushers the other two out of the building.

Riyakou turns to Jiro. "Stand still, guy." Riyakou conjures a strong wind and sends it over to Jiro, lifting him up. Riyakou then looks out to locate the large skyscraper and sees it off in the distance in the midst of mountains. *What the hell are mountains doing in Chicago?* Riyakou creates a current leading to the top of the building, and he sends Jiro abroad it.

"Hold on there, guy!"

Riyakou turns to Boom and creates a light ward around them both. "Let's get going, Boom." Riyakou sees police cars and firetrucks pulling in and takes the opportunity to absorb their light. "Suck it, cops!"

He transfers the light into the ward, and it speeds forward.

As boom waddles as fast as he can, he managed to puff out a few words.

"How much longer?"

Riyakou, too busy moving forward to hear him, continued forward.

Boom kept waddling, and at last they came to the tower's base after about an hour of travel.

They found the entrance guarded by only 2 men, and so Riyakou quickly swept them off their feet with a light gust of wind. He angled the wind correctly so that their heads collided with the ground at the correct rate and position to knock them out.

After getting the keys to the entrance from the 2 guards, one key for Boom and one for Riyakou, they set foot inside the building.

"So... What do we do now?" asked Boom.

Jiro landed on the roof of the building with a quick roll, and looked around. He noticed a vent which had its lid pried off by someone earlier, and decided to go into it.

Making his way through the air duct, he noticed a grate that seemed to lead to an empty meeting room, so he chose to make his entrance there. After prying off the grate silently, he landed in the room and surveyed the situation.

The door to the room was shut, but there was a red emergency light coming through the cracks, and he could hear alarms in the distance.

"Those fools must have tripped the alarm..." Jiro said (referring to Lego's group). He went to open the door but heard footsteps, it sounded like someone running down the hallway. He opened the door silently and saw a fully armed guard running down the hallway.

Jiro chose to follow the guard, expecting him to lead Jiro to the source of the disturbance.

"We wait."

Riyakou stands in concentration and uses his clairvoyance to look inside the building. He sees guards on every floor, many of them now heading towards the first floor out of warning of Riyakou and Boom's arrival. Looking further, he sees Lego wounded on the floor, and Kirac attempting to treat him, to little avail.

"Lego's wounded and guards are coming. Stand back. I'm gonna do something cool."

Riyakou takes Boom with him back a few paces. Riyakou then conjures a wind to carry him up into the air. He twirls his left hand forward, then flings it back. All of the windows in the front of the building breaks from a large and strong gust of wind. Through the windows comes all of the guards, carried off by currents of wind. The wind currents carry them all off into a great distance.

Riyakou settles to the ground and turns to Boom. "Now we get to Lego."

OOC:froid is healing lego.

Kirac cut his hand and placed his hand on the tattoo of his snake. "Rise Chaos!" The snake launched out of Kirac's mouth and started holding of the guards remaining in the room above."Hows the leg,"Kirac asked Lego.

*Lego just sits on the floor in a massive pile of rubble, doing as the others ask. When he hears the windows break, and guards fly everywhere, he lays confused and wanders about with his eyes. He finally speaks up*
In my pocket, I've got some wierd beans kamfu, snsay, somethig like that. They're supposed to rejuvenate one's energy. Let's find out if they work...
*Lego falls unconsious at this point, and does not respond for awhile*

"Uh, you sure those guards won't come back eventually? I mean, they prolly have a GPS system or somethin'.... Ah well. Let's get to Lego, and fast."

As they rush up the stairway (the elevator was shut down by security, much to Boom's annoyance) they find themselves cutting guards down, or rather, Riyakou cutting guards down while Boom puked on them to debilitate them, so that Riyakou could subsequently cut them down.

As they rushed, Boom stopped for a rest, much to Riyakou's chagrin. While more guards kept coming in, and Riyakou taking them out, Boom's curiosity got the best of him and he peeked inside of a room.

In the room, there was the same hellish beast that he saw in his visions.

"Uh, Riyakou, buddy, we should really get outta here... Like NOW."

Sadly, the scientist that was going to release the beast in order to stop Riyakou and Boom's rampage had already put in the code to unlock the cage. Out came the beast, and as its first act, it ate the scientist that released it.

Boom suddenly felt a surge of energy (out of pure fear) and grabbed Riyakou and started pulling him while waddling quickly, bowling over the guards firing at them and trying to stop them.

"I THINK WE TOOK TOO LONG RIYAKOU!" yelled Boom as they rushed up the stairs.


(OOC: Btw I'm assuming there's a portal to bring more guards into the lower levels. So there, yay not editing my post to reflect all the guards being kicked out! Or rather, they did, but others came in. Let's assume that this random portal is only near the lower levels, so they're rushing to get rid of the closer threat [me and Riyakou] first, then will go to you guys.)

"Let, me... GO!"

Riyakou slings Boom off of him, but harder than he intended. Boom hits the ground hard. "Shit! Damn it, Boom! Shit! Fuck! I'm sorry! SHIT!"

Riyakou looks forward to the giant beast and flood of guards coming their way. "I could really use some light right about now."

After being shoved a bit down the stairs, Boom got back up angrily and was facing down the entire squadron and the beast.

In a quick second, he did the only 2 things he knew how to do.

First, he puked all over the stairs and guard that was at his face. He fell from the puke in his vision, tripping on the stairs, then he fell onto his team, who were also tripping on the puke, and they all fell on the beast, who was eating each one as it tried climbing the stairs to Boom.

Then Boom did the second thing he knew, but out of simple fear and a blitz of thought, he changed it up.

"KAMEHADOKEN!" yelled Boom at the top of his lungs.

At first, Boom's thoughts raced through his head thinking *Oh crap. I just did it wrong.*

Then, the power surged through his hands. Not much, but it sent a somewhat thin and long beam that shot at the beast, hitting him in the nose.

Boom's next thought was *.... And now I'm badass.*

He kept the beam going, trying to surge it into the beast, but didn't realize how draining it was. The beast fell backwards down the stairs (these are really long stairs) and while it did land at the bottom, it didn't die. But its nose was burned to a point, and it certainly looked like it was in pain. But then Boom stopped sending the beam out by separating his hands. As soon as that happened, he instantly fell backwards, up the stairs and was nearly out of breath.

"Hah... hah... take that...beasty..." he gasped out, as he tried to crawl upwards.

"Go, Riyakou. Get to Lego, I'll catch up later. For now, I got to rest...."

Then realizing what a stupid idea this was considering that the beast was still alive and getting back up from the hit, he quickly retracted his words.

"WAIT, NO, HELP ME UP! I'll try to keep up, but don't leave me here!" he sputtered out, with some gasping in between.

Seeing Boom severely weakened, and the beast charging back up towards the stairs, Riyakou sees no way out, and hopelessly goes for his last resort.

"Oh, fuck me..."

Riyakou spreads his hands, tilts back, and releases an enormously large beam of light at the beast. The light dissolves the beast almost instantly. After the beam ceases, Riyakou falls lifelessly to the bottom of the stairs.

(OOC: Did you just?... I mean did you really?... Wow... Game changer right there. Eesh. Boromir ftw.)

Boom butt-slides down the stairs to get to Riyakou.

"What the... Buddy? Wake up bud."

*I'm sure he's fine... Prolly just knocked out from the blast.*

Boom checks for a pulse, but none to be found. He tries to sense his energy, but it seems completely gone. Then he attempts to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which yielded no results.

"COME ON! YOU CAN MAKE IT! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! PLEASE DON'T GO!... Please..." yelled Boom, getting quieter as he went on.

"No, no, no... Why for me? Why didn't you just go to Lego?.. I coulda handled it myself, there was no need to... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Screamed Boom.

"NO! I WILL FISTFUCK YOU INTO OBLIVION!" He bellowed. His energy had come to him in a random surge, absorbing light from bulbs in the stairway.

Realizing what he had, Boom transferred some of the energy into Riyakou. Knowing that there was no saving him, he kept some for himself to continue the journey up the tower.

He heard Riyakou groan a slight bit...

Riyakou, with very little strength, looks slightly over to Boom.

"Guy, you are so fucking weird..."

Riyakou breaths in heavily.

"But I like you, you're a good kid. You're kind, and caring, and all that other chummy shit. You got some talent there too, kid. I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner, I could've helped you."

Riyakou shakily points to Boom's right hand. "I used to do the Kamehah trick when I was younger."

A guard fell down the stairs from above with an arrow in his back, Jiro was quick to follow

"Motherfucker went in circles!" Jiro exclaimed.

Jiro looked down and saw Boom kneeling over Riyakou at the foot of the stairs near a strange scorch mark on the ground. He also heard a few guards from the doorway leading out of the stairwell. He stepped into the doorway and saw two guards coming towards him, but they couldn't see well in the dimmed light. He made quick work of them with his bow.

Content that the area was relatively clear, he made his way toward Boom and Riyakou.

"Well this wasn't a complete mess..." Jiro said.

"Huh? Oh, hey Herokungfu..."

Riyakou struggles to look at Jiro. "Looks like you're stuck getting to Lego without me. But hey, watch over Boom, okay? He's a good kid, weird as shit, but a good kid."

Riyakou looks over to Boom. "I guess you can have the Twinkies now..."

Riyakou feels a surge of pain, and groans. "Hey, listen. Do you remember, before I took us to my house? I gave Skarlet an orb. I told him... that if he ever needed assistance, to ask it to glow. I want you to take that orb, and I want you to ask it to glow. I think you'd like what happens..."

Riyakou feels a severely strong surge of pain and his body starts to glow very bright. It then grow very dim as the light ascends from him and he lies there, completely lifeless.

*Kirac takes the pouch from Lego's pocket, and puts a bean into his mouth. Lego feels instantly beeter, and pushes rocks and rubble out of the way. He gets up and runs up the stairs to grab Rindo, ripping the blade from the man's chest. He lunges down and screams out-*
I hear stuff downstairs!
That bean hit me perfect...
*He figures the elevator would be blocked, but decides to charge his way into it, attacking the elevator. He gats and idea, and hits the button to bring the elvator up to him. He goes upstairs and pushes his way through the doors, landing on the elevator's top. He jumps up, and falls down with a mighty punch, and pushes the elevator off iit's cables, sending the elevator, with him on top, falling 80 stories to the ground floor with a massive thud. He lands on a knee, and kicks the door off, already dented, to see smoldering ashes and Riyakou on the ground. He looks up and sees Both Jiro and Boom on the stairway as well. He notices boom'sstrength has weakened, and does him a favor. Lego takes 5 beans out of the bag, and walks over to Boom, holding out his hand, all5 beans in them.*
Hiya, guys. see ya found your way to the tower. The others need our help. Boom, I've got something for you -Lego hands Boom the beans-, they're special. Each one completely fills your stomach, and rejuvenates you to your maximum physical power. For you, one bean is like eatin a treasure-schest's worth of Twinkies with 3 large chocolate milkshakes and a big bowl of chili.
So, what's you're guy's game plan for this fight?

Kirac following be hind Lego walks up the stairs and steps on Riyakou arm,"whoops sorr......who knock him out?"

Boom Boom is crying at this point. Barely hearing anyone else, he sits there pouring his eyes out.

"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!... He's... He's dead. He died saving me... I don't give half a shit about your fucking beans!" he shouts as he smacks Lego's hand away, flinging the beans onto the floor, some falling through cracks while others still in sight.

"And YOU." He growls, looking at Lord Kirac. "Get your damn foot off his arm before I fistfuck you back to Nibi.. Ni... Nicaragua!"

Boom then stands up, his rage fueling his energy.

"I will kill the people, or things, responsible for this. I will kill those who caused us to be here. I will not rest... I'll rest a bit. Or a lot. But I won't stop fighting until either I'm dead, or they're dead." he proclaims, then points at Lego, Skarlet, Kirac, Jironobou and Froid.

"You five can come with me if you choose. I make no claims on leading anyone, but I will need help getting wherever I need to go. I choose not to say follow; I will defer to whoever wants to take leadership- But I will not bow to anyone.

Habanero, I'll definitely need your help when I can get it..."

Boom calms himself, and then grabs a bean off the floor and eats it.

"I'll be needing some of these... and as for you guys. What were you doing up there, what has happened, and why are all of us here?"

He awaits their responses.

Skarlet kneels by Riyakou's lifeless body, goodbye friend. Skarlet takes out the orb that Riyakou gave him, he looks at it for a minute then asks it to glow. Looks around at the others "Let us see what Riyakou's last gift will do for us.".

(OOC: psst. I think he meant for me to do it. Not trying to be Mr. attention whore but it IS Riyakou and he DOES seem to care about forwarding Boom's development as a warrior)

*Lego nods his head in empathy and sympathy.*
We understand your pain.
*Lego shoves Kirac, pushing him off of Riy's arm*
If you neee more of these wierd, kenshu, senin, whatever beans, I've got an entire bag. Like I said, a single one is like a feasat for a king.
Onto the real matter at hand, I think we should take Riy with us, his body may be lifeless, but his powers and strengths are very vital to our ability to traverse to what had done this. His light has left him. I feel that by destroying darkness, we honor this sacrifice. A brave warrior indeed, he was.

We figured out everything we need to know. We have files on what this company is trying to do, and how to do them. we would've continued working with that on the top floor, but I heard a commotion below us, and, well... *Lego points to the elevator* that happened. We shoud traverse to the top of the building again, bow that all the guards are gone, and start working that machine. We can apparently reach alternate dimensions by doing this.

You said you wanted somebody to show you the way. Here's a way of your own-
*Lego concentrates, and his LEGOs form into a sword, 32 inches long and 6 inches wide, white bladed with an ancient writing on it. The handle is a pale yellow leather, and at it's bottom rests a large diamond with great reflective properties. On Boom's hip, he forms a scabbard for the blade, able to fit it comfortably at his side.*
This sword is a sword of great power. I want you to takei it to commemorate Riyakou. The inscription reads "The Warrior of Light is with me" in Latin, and "This warrior is bright as the Sun" in Greek. It will help you greatly on this travel.
*Lego staggers a bit, as the sword took up a lot of energy to be so precise. Lego regains his composure, and points to Jiro.*
And you. You need something, too. I feel I've got a trick up my sleeve for somethig useful to you...
*Lego again focuses, creating a mass of arrows, with smal strings on them, and the strings expand. The 5 arrows gain a glow to them, and create a golden gleam to them. They fall directly into Jiro's quiver. Lego again stumbles, and decides to sit down for what he's about to do. He creates a massively long Chain, red in color, tipped with a ball coated in hooks and spikes. The ball also has a small pull-switch on it, which can light the ball on fire. He hands this ball to Kirac. For Froid, he creates a special glove- a gauntlet, with a massive ptchfok on it. The pitchfork part of it extends out further, ranging from 7 inches to 3 feet long, and has an electric power to it. Lego falls back, and grabs one of the odd beans.*
an expanded arsenal will help everybody out. And Jiro, those arrows return to you once you pull the strings. Oh, man, that was rough. BUt smart.
*Lego smiles, and holds up the bean, and crams it down his throat. He feels revitalized easily, and gets up. He is ready to fight.*

"The orb seems to be doing nothing. I wonder who he meant for it to ask" ponders Boom, but he does not go for it. "It may take some time to activate, or maybe it won't work until certain requirements are met."

Then Lego gives him a sword and sheath with inscriptions on them.

"Thanks, but I have no formal training in any fighting art aside from charging and tackling, then puking. I'm afraid this actually won't be of much help, but I'll keep it in case."

Boom then asks them all once again, "Who wants to join me? I ask you, Homer, to join me. The rest can decide on their own. Catch up with me on the road if you wish. I will be off now." And then Boom started making his way down the tower... But not before snatching the orb of light from Skarlet's hands. "This orb is made of light. So far, in any light, I grow strong. I'm keeping it until I can figure it out."

With that, he was off.

*Lego calmly walks out to the door Boom was headed to.*
Don't see where you're going. I'll come with ya, but from the look sof it, if you're looking to get revenge for Riyakou, the best way to go is up the tower. It was D.I.T.U.B's fault that he's- like this. If you want to truly get back at them, they've got a portal maker up the stairs that can take us to alternate realities. That machine will be their undong, or rather, would've been their upbringing.
