"Stand back there, Boom. I'll tell you everything in a minute... or at least what I know."

Riyakou swifts himself to the tall figure, whose holding a unique pair of tomahawks. Riyakou stops him in his path.

"You're looking for trouble, aren't you? I can tell by look on your face. Well, trouble's on break. You're gonna have to settle for me."

Riyakou stands back and a long katana appears in his hands. "I'll give you this one moment to explain yourself. Make it good."



Riyakou quickly turns behind him, and swifts Boom over to him in a gust of wind. "Sorry, I forgot Jojo was over there. Stay behind me and don't move."

*Hmph. If only I had food. I could totally puke on this guy!... I wish my kamehameha would work...*

Boom whispers to Riyakou, "Psst. Ask him if he has food."

Boom notices Riyakou's katana come out, and realizes what's about to go down.

"Yea ha! I know this."

Boom then proceeds to get into a fighting stance he made up to impress others. Sweat dripping down his forward, he stared angrily at the oncomer. Inside, he felt quite afraid due to the tomahawks, but he had a few tricks up his sleeve. Or he would, if he wasn't on an empty stomach.

"You can't handle 2 on 1! I'd back down if I were ya, buddy. Just you wait, my kamehameha will blow you away!"

No one seemed convinced of his words.

Jiro drops down between Froid and Riyakou and says "Do you make a habit of picking fights with people you hardly know? There are better ways to make a first impression."

Riyakou stands in front of Jiro.

"I don't pick fights, pal. I prevent them."

Riyakou gestures over to the tall guy with the tomahawks. "There's your fight starter. If you wish to deal with someone, deal with... excuse me."

Riyakou turns to Boom. "Could you please stop laughing? I'm trying to make to make a point here."

Riyakou turns back to Jiro. "I'm not the kind of guy to starts fights with people. He is. I don't know him, but I can feel it. I do that sort of thing."

*feeling the cold, Lego, rushes down the mountain, yet calm as stone, and reaches this conversation, seeing many familiar faces. Hearing the conversation, he decides to join in*
You know not of this warior's intentions. Be not so quick to judge others as you do yourself. Darkness is abond everywhere. You can't tell who exactly. The looming darkness could be him, or anyone else. It could be Boom, it could be this mysterious Jironobou, it could be me! We have to work together if we are to combat the darkness in our universe.

Annoyed by the constant emergence of people, Riyakou stomps over to Lego and begins a rant.

"Okay, first off Lego... yeah, I know who you are... Boom isn't a dark anything. He's a nice kid who somehow got stuck in a horrible situation. Second, Jell-O and Mr. Tomahawks over here are giving me vibes so bad they ought to be Michael Jackson! And third, I'm in no mood to work with anyone other than the people I trained to fight, and that ain't you, Lego. So, buzz off!"

"ENOUGH! A wave of fire blasts through breaking them up. Enough of pointless arguing, it will get us no where!" yells Skarlet at everyone. Looks at the man with tomahawks, what is your business here stranger, when no being threatened for battle by the group.

Chortling at the notion of the 2 warriors bickering, once Riyakou tells him to stop, Boom immediately stops. Wondering why they're arguing, Boom is about to intervene, but then the man with the lego/crystal sword suddenly appears, and gives a speech to them, the gleam still annoying Boom's eyes.

"You know not of this warior's intentions. Be not so quick to judge others as you do yourself. Darkness is abond everywhere. You can't tell who exactly. The looming darkness could be him, or anyone else. It could be Boom, it could be this mysterious Jironobou, it could be me! We have to work together if we are to combat the darkness in our universe." proclaimed the swordshifter.

Riyakou, obviously annoyed, retorted back quickly with his own speech on how he wants the man to go away. Boom hears his name, "Lego".

Boom interrupted everyone's conversation with, "Eh? Why the funny name? Who is named 'Lego'? "

He then peers closer at the swordshifter's weapon and realizes they're shiny legos. Even more confused now, Boom sits down and ponders on what is happening around him.

*Weird visions, no food, a bunch of powerful people, arguments.... The hell is going on here!? This prolly has to do with that guy who's head I bashed in. But I was expecting cops, not... this. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.*

Boom then gets up and announces to them all, "Obviously, I'm not getting food or back to my house until our 'purpose' is fulfilled, you all keep talking about a darkness that we have to defeat, and I saw some kind of cloud engulf my neighborhood, so I'm assuming that's the 'darkness', so I want answers.

Where are we? What are we doing? Why was I brought here of all things? Is anyone as confused as I am?"

Boom patiently awaited their answers, if any are going to be given.

(OOC: So, I'm guessing Lego was moving up the mountain?)

Edit: (OOC: I noticed that Skarlet posted before me, so I'll edit my post to reflect that >.>)



Suddenly, a fiery blast was sent at all of them, Boom jumped out of the way in time, and landed... "gracefully"... onto the dirt path. He heard Skarlet say something, but didn't quite catch it.

"EH? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!? Ergh, I think I scraped my knee. What's YOUR name, red man?
-----------------
End of edit!

I am Skarlet, protector of this realm & the a member of this group who is tired of all this arguing.

Riyakou grunts a bit at Skarlet, but decides to end his anger.

"Well Skarlet, I'm Riyakou. Last name's irrelevant. I actually also noticed the strange dark cloud Boom here mentioned, only it was over my house. I asbsorbed some of its energy to gain its whereabouts, and it led me to... well, to you, Boom."

Riyakou slowly turns to Boom. "I know you didn't make that cloud, but whatever it is, it came for you. Seen any other weird things lately?"

Looks at Boom as well soon then everyone does, I sensed the same thing when I was forced to deal with your antics earlier.

Riyakou raises an eyebrow.

"Whose antics, exactly? I don't do antics.

His antics *directing his words towards Boom*

"Oh, yes... the food."

Riyakou turns to Boom. "Please tell me that food is not the reason you're here."



Riyakou turns to the man with the tomahawks. "And why don't you ever speak!?"

Hm, can we assume all of our intentions are pure. I'm sure we all are looking towards a greater good. We obviously were destined to meet like this. There is but one way to solve this problem, and I think you all know what it is.
*Lego points into the darkness of the forest, now sheathing his sword. He finishes his trek down the mountain to the base and stops at the gates.*
If there are no objections, I'm pretty sure we all feel something in this forest.
*Lego walks frwad into the forest calmly and slowly, giving any takers the chance to catch up.*

In the forest a woman pops out, the cunning assassin mwgrant0! (sorry trying to find my way in) "Leave this place, or face the consequences."

Skarlet steps up to face this new warrior, "I know not who you are but I must say you are quite outmatched". "I wish not to fight you but I will if I must".

Riyakou steps in front of Skarlet.

"Hold on there, red head. Something tells me this woman here isn't our enemy. Also, I think we're the ones who are outmatched."

Riyakou points to the many sets of glowing eyes in the depths of the forest.

Numbers are nothing. Look at the great warriors who have single-handedly defeated entire armies they seemed to outmatch the odds. Outnumbered and outmatched are two completely different things. If this person wants us to turn back, I'm afraid we have a problem.
*Lego unsheathes Rindo, in the shape of the massive Zweïhander sword, and begins to hack down trees in flashes, effectively beginning deforestation in his hunt for the glowing eyes. The eyes seem to fade for the most part, and running is heard in the distance.*
I'm going to tell you now, if you have the slightest idea that I'm turing around, you're sadly mistaken, ma'am.

*Looks around the forest* "Maybe in numbers Riyakou but not in strength if need be, but what makes you think she isn't our enemy".

"Simple I have an attraction to evil naturally, Though this humans soul may have a darkness to it she is not our true enemy.We should investigate the glowing eyes.I think mega blocks boy here is you guys best hope."

*He puts his tomahawks in his sheath & speaks in a rather gruff tone* I mean no harm. I'm also startled by the darkness that surround this hemisphere. I am *intelligible name really difficult to pronounce* but you can call me froid for short. *reaches out hand to hostile person as a show of greetings*

*She pushes his hand away* "You do not understand, , it is not safe for normal people to travel through,... but i suppose i could put a ward around you long enough for you to travel through, but it wont last long, after that you are on your own."

"Glad I didn't extend my hand, and I'll use my own ward, thank you."

Riyakou takes a closer peak into the forest. "Hmm, what's so dangerous about this forest anyway? And if it's so bad, why were you in there? Something you're not telling us?"

There is pure evil in this forest, I can sense it it's very strong, points in the direction of the center of the forest, it is coming from there I believe.
