Enemy Within [.xvi.] [Locked to Silvermane]

Sep 26, 2007 15:07

The writing on the wall had been clear enough. Show up at the junkyard tonight, with the promise of information. That was certainly an offer Thirst couldn't refuse -- then again, she would have been an idiot to assume the person behind the messages was entirely benevolent in nature. Having learned from her fight with Ophelia, the Homunculus now ( Read more... )

Silvermane was waiting deeper inside the junk yard. Hands in her pockets, she wore her metal-lined trenchcoat, steel-capped, shanked and shin-plated boots, and an assortment of chains hung around her outfit. While she hoped that this could be resolved peacefully, she knew Thirst was violent and that fighting would probably be necessary to some extent.

"I-in here," said Silvermane, speaking up just loud enough for Thirst to catch her general direction.

She wouldn't have had to have spoken up very much, but still, Thirst could deduce the right way to go. She could also pick up a faintly familiar scent, but it wasn't prominent enough for her to place or be very concerned with. The voice, though... did she know this girl?

She would probably find out soon enough, at any rate, as she appeared in the area she'd heard the voice coming from and saw a person in a trenchcoat there. "What do you know?" she asked almost immediately.

Silvermane had to use every bit of backbone she had to force herself to stand up straight, look Thirst in the eye, and speak. This wasn't the kind of thing she was good at. She'd much prefer to leave this sort of thing to Corey, Gust, Ophelia...or any of the other Dragons, really, and just be there to back them up. However, the whole point of coming alone was so that she wasn't hiding behind her friends yet again...and also to protect her friends. With her powers, Silvermane had the best chance of getting through a fight with Thirst without any severe injuries ( ... )

Thirst narrowed her eyes. "How else will I practice?" she asked rhetorically as she tried to place where she remembered that voice from. Now that she was closer, the smell was stronger, and that too was helping her. But figuring out who the informant was was neither here nor there.

"A team member? Interesting." She nodded slowly. "You seem to know who I am. If this person is in fact a member of your team, then you have done something very foolish indeed, girl."

Introducing....the Dragon of Metal! shy_silver October 10 2007, 07:03:01 UTC

((Starting a new thread to avoid thread squish))

Silvermane's vision grew progressively out of focus, and she wrapped her arms around herself as she shook. She heard Thirst's words, heard that Thirst now knew how to find her friends, gotten an idea of the level of cruelty Thirst was capable of...and had heard enough. Silvermane saw red.

Silvery strands snapped out of their self-imposed ponytail, flaring out menacingly. Blue eyes faded in favour of a piercing light blue glow. Every piece of metal in Jump City creaked and groaned, heralding the unrestrained power of the Dragon of Metal.

Silvermane rose from her sprawled position on the ground, body floating.

"...'slaughter you here and now'?" questioned a voice much unlike Silvermane's timid stammer. Its pitch had dropped, and its tone had filled with cold rage in lieu of terror. "Don't flatter yourself. I'll be the one to slaughter youShe floated slightly towards Thirst, glowing eyes staring the blonde homunculus down ( ... )

...Hm. An interesting development. But one that didn't seem to impress Thirst much. Even if she was a bit shocked when she heard pieces of her uniform making strange straining noises. If she viewed Silvermane -- sorry, the Dragon of Metal -- as a threat, she'd probably take those metal shoulder pads and headpieces off. (The crotchplate is also metal, so let's just be glad she doesn't.)

"I am positively terrified, Dragon. You could claim to be Hattori Hanzo himself and that would bring you nowhere closer to slaughtering me. Or have you already forgotten the minor detail that you cannot kill me?" Still, the Dragon intrigued her, so (perhaps very foolishly), she would refrain from attacking just yet.

shy_silver October 10 2007, 21:05:10 UTC

"Anything that is alive can be killed," replied the Dragon of Metal. "If I need to rip you limb from limb and prevent you from healing yourself, so be it."

Raising an arm, she focused her powers into making dozens, then hundreds of metal pieces rise from the junk yard, forming a circle around the two of them. Concentrating for a moment, she reshaped the metal to her liking, forming hundreds of poles with long, sharp points at the end.

With a small wave of her hand, she sent one of the 'spears' hurtling towards Thirst's stomach at a high velocity, while the others began closing in, like a cage to prevent her from moving very far.

"Yes, but for how long," was on her lips, but she stopped herself because hey, there's finally some excitement going on. The old girl never would have tried something like this. There was definitely a lot different about the Dragon ( ... )
