Thom - Ken Veese Strikes Again

[16:20:16] Thom: Aamon!
[16:22:49] Aamon: Yes?
[16:22:49] Thom: Can we spar again?
[16:22:49] Aamon: For what purpose?
[16:22:49] Thom: I wanna get stronger. So I gotta fight people.
[16:23:40] Thom: And I get a lot stronger when I fight people stronger then me!
[16:25:23] Aamon: Another time, perhaps.
[16:25:23] Thom: -pout-
[16:25:23] Thom: Fine..
[16:25:23] Gala: Thom.
[16:25:23] Thom: Hm? Gala?
[16:26:14] Thom: Nice bow.
[16:26:14] Gala: Fight me!
[16:26:14] Gala: Oh, thanks!
[16:26:14] Thom: You sure? And no problem!
[16:26:14] Aamon: ...Mm.
[16:27:05] Gala: Yeah, I can beat up Ennis real easy.
[16:27:05] Gala: Giveme a challenge...
[16:27:05] Thom: .. -nod- Alright! Lets fight. Right here or..
[16:27:05] Gala: No, outside.
[16:27:05] Gala: ...I know your magic, you'll destroy theplace..
[16:27:05] Thom: Ok. -looks already to go alreadyp
[16:30:30] Burning with determination.

Once again Thom would leave the walls of Nostvale, though this time not to hunt. The orange haired youth only had one thing on his mind; Training. Or rather, he had two things honestly, training and getting stronger. And so leading the green haired girl out of the city Thom glanced around, thinking for a moment before leading to a spot away from the walls where they would be able to go all out without fear of him setting things on fire.

"Thanks for challenging me Gala! I wanna get stronger but I can't do it on my own anymore.. I need to keep training.. Just be a little bit better every day you know?"

This looked like a good spot. Thom slowed down and turned around to face Gala.

"Lets get ready."
(Thom)
[16:47:34] Nodding to the boy, the small nature witch would pull out her hat and cloak before following him Had she been carrying that around this whole time…? Following the boy out, she tugged lightly on the brim of her hat and gripped the staff within he hands. It was a stick…Or, well it LOOKED like a stick! What could a stick do?

Stepping back, the girl slowly lifts into the air and smiles.

"Thanks for accepting…I know you're probably a lot stronger than me, so could you hold back a little? I want to see if this helps at all with the, uh…Virus." Looking off to the side, Gala frowns a bit. "If you don't want to do that though, it's okay.

Breaking through the grass, large and wild vines would hiss.
(Gala)

(Gala)
[17:00:22] Thom closed his eyes, taking in a few deep breaths. His mind would become more empty, until he thought of nothing before the door would appear. Slowly a hand reached for the knob, turning it slowly and opening it to let in the power and the eletircal currents that dwelled within. He reached into the open doorway and drew lighting towards himself.

In reality it wouldn't have taken as much time as ussual. Due to the practice the boy was able to bring out the shimmering blue orb much faster then he had before. The grey eyes opened and the boy grabbed the glaive from off his back, spinning it in a fancy manner. Once this was done he took a pair of goggles out of his pockets, placing them over his eyes and a headband would follow, tied onto his forehead.

Red sparks began to dance about him as he focused his attention on Gala. A slight grin appeared on his face. "Hey Gala, if I win can I get a kiss?" He asked, before flying forwards to begin the match.
(Thom)
[17:00:22] Gala: A kiss?!
[17:01:13] {combat} You killed a Vine! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[17:01:13] {combat} You killed a Vine! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[17:01:13] {combat} Gala has been defeated by Thom! They're unable to continue fighting.
[17:04:38] 'A kiss'

Gala asked and as the orange haired youth appeared in front of her, he would flash her a stupid looking grin. "Yeah a kiss." He inquired, blowing her one before letting loose a giant wave of flames, followed by a smaller one. The girl seemed to get hit with it all, the combo ending at a lighting bolt when suddenly Thom found he couldn't see, and not only that but also the painful crack of a vine whip on his cheek. The boy quickly reverted to the form of a bolt of lighting, moving randomly around, but somehow he appeared to hit her at right moment, knocking her down.

"Woah.. That stung a little bit." Thom admitted, watching the blue orb spin and spin around him as he preapred for a second match, keeping both grey eyes on Gala.

"Hope you're ready for me! Lets fight again!"
(Thom)
[17:13:10] A kiss…What a simple reward, really. But Gala was far too shy to be kissing boys! Thom was a good friend and a great person, but kissing him? The very idea made the girl's face burn red. It was so much of a shock, she couldn't hardly focus on their spar! Thanks goodness Aamon was not here; he would be disappointed that the girl let something like a KISS get in her way.

Wow…

"T-Thom! A kiss? That's…That's so embarrassing! I can't….I…" Puffing out her cheeks, she taps her cheek with a finger. "Only on the cheek! Otherwise it would be super indecent! And even more embarrassing!

"But you have to win!"

Pulling back her arm, she swings the staff forwards, acid flying through the air.

(Gala)
[17:14:01] {combat} You killed a Vine! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[17:14:01] {combat} Gala has been defeated by Thom! They're unable to continue fighting.
[17:17:26] It worked.

The orb was cackling in all of its ability to do so. The blue thing absolutely found the suprise of asking Gala for a kiss out of the blue to be funny, but it was percisely the type of wild thing that Thom enjoyed doing. The boy would have been blinded from the very begining of the fight but he listened to where Gala was and would teleport to her, placing a slight eletried jolt to her side.

After which he made the mistake of going down and away from Gala. When his sight returned he stood at the edge of the water but was quick to turn around. Three waves of flames lept from his hands sweeping towards Gala but the girl started to make her way away! Thom chased after her, leaving streaks of red behind as he caught up, the shocks being the final round of the match though he coughed when he entered her poison field.

"That game set and match?" He asked smiling before walking over and extending a hand to help the green haired girl up.
(Thom)
[17:30:14] "Yeah…"

Sighing, the girl would lay on the floor and reflect on the battle. He had taken her out way to fast the first round, but the second one? She could prolong the fight JUST long enough to get some space…With a little more practice? Maybe she could figure out a way to beat Thom and THEN…Then no one would just call her cute again. Everyone just did whatever it was the liked, hmph!

Taking the boy's hand the girl would stand and dust herself off. In her head the battle waged once more. Every misstep she took, ever tactful move she made? All of them were over analyzed and then used to think of a way to slow Thom down and take him out before he could do the same to her.

"I suppose you won…"

(Gala)
[17:33:39] "Yep!" Thom gave a slight nod to Gala, glad at having won. The orb of eletrical power continued to spin and spin around in the air as if cheering him on but the red sparks and the orb would soon vanish, Thom putting away his powers and the emotions required to summon them. A wide grin would spread across his lips and he streached.

"That was fun!" He declared, bouncing on the balls of his feet and twirling just a little bit on them. "Thanks for challenging me again Gala!" the boy then would suddenly lean in, giving the girl a kiss on the cheek, having noticed how bright red and distracted the thought of kissing made her during the fight.

"Chu. Anyways, lets start heading back!"
(Thom)
[17:37:04] ". . . " Dr Veese wanted to approach this conversation with upmost seriousness. You were the child, at the age of 10. Who beat, ridiculed, insulted, spit on, and took control of his sash game through robbery. If there was anyone mad at you, It was this man, Dr Veese. What you would see once you turned around? A bloody beaten drakanite, now tossed on the ground, with a sash on his arm.

"This one has learned, what it is to be in The Fifty." His eyes still darted at you as the just barely a corpse infront of you was between you both. Dr Veese only looked at Thom. Only him, awaiting for him to pick up on the message.
(Ken Veese)
[17:47:18] For a moment, while lost in her thoughts, the girl had lost focus of what the boy's intentions were. She was still reviewing the fight in her head, utterly consumed by all the possible ways that she could win next time. The moment Thom pressed his lips to her cheek though, the girl was red as a tomato and all that thought? Shattered like a vase pushed off the ledge by a cat, her thoughts went to the wind and instead she was filled with butterflies.

Poor Gala was not so good with affection like this.

Biting her bottom lip, the girl pulled her hat down over her face and tried to hide herself from the boy. The kid was nothing but trouble sometimes! "Thom! I…I wasn't ready!! Y-You…You delinquent!" Oh boy, she was using fancy words! It was obvious thought that the little girl meant nothing insulting, she was just embarrassed! Continue to complain and fidget, the green haired beauty stopped the moment the stranger spoke and stared.

There was a bleeding male on the ground…

Narrowing her eyes, the girl frowns and crosses arms over her chest. Looking Ken over, a hiss escapes her lips. Just who was this? Did he mean harm? Was he going to attack them?

"Why would you do this to someone? Stuff like this is FROWNED upon you know.."
(Gala)
[17:51:34] Zain.

Thom's grey eyes went wide when he saw Zain's body hit the ground. If Ken wanted the orange haired youth's attention he had certainly gained it. The once extinguished red eletrical powers would have come back, fiercly cackling around Thom as if it were a swarm of bees. The tweleve year old slowly extended a finger, pointing towards Ken, but the glaive was yet to be drawn, merely making eye contact with the man.

Thom motioned to Gala in the manner as if to say step back just in case. Meanwhile Thom would take several steps forwards, towards both that of Zain and that of Ken.

"What happened to him? Did you do this?" Thom asked, making the point of his questions quick and concise.
(Thom)
[17:54:59] " . . ." You would receive no answer from Dr Veese. Instead you'd just get that glare coming right back at you about just what this was, and all of your assumptions were true. Beofre you both was evidence of just how far things went in this game, and Dr Veese to share with you the same fate of the Drakanite before you both. Soon enough Dr Veese kicked the poor downed drakanite toward you both, in that one of you to care for him.

"Lets do this." Dr Veese already with his gauntlets brandished, Earth forming around his Being, he wasn't the same man you had spit on before, and he was ready to show you that, and much much more.

A date , with Vengeance."
(Ken Veese)
[18:06:04] "I think not."

Floating off the ground a few inches while slowly approaching Thom, a strange look crossed her eyes. Something deep down told her to shut up and stay back, but the whispers of a curse spoke far louder. Squinting at the older man, Gala grips Thom's shoulder and leans into whisper something. Her voice was soft and sweet, as it always way, but she held a very sudden edge. Be it do to the Virus, or perhaps her time as a Squire, the green haired child was not about to let the man ruin her good time and harm Thom.

He would be an idiot to think she'd so easily stand aside.

"I'll give you one warning, and one only. Turning around and leave, NOW."

Looking down to Thom, the grip on his shoulder would tighten. Whatever this was? The Fifty or not? This sort of behavior would not be tolerated by the little girl, not when a possible friend might be put to harm Not when something so evil lurked within.

"BE smart…"

(Gala)
[18:06:56] Gala whispers: I will not sit back and watch, I WILL fight.
[18:06:56] Thom: Gala.. I need to fight him by myself.. And Zain needs help..
[18:06:56] Gala: No.
[18:07:47] Thom: ...
[18:07:47] Gala: Would you let me do it?
[18:07:47] Gala joined the party!
[18:12:03] "I'm not going to lie. I would rather face you alone Ken. But Gala won't let me do that." Thom said simply, red eletrical power continuing to shroud him. The youth would put his goggles onto his face and tie his headband to the top of his head as he cracked his knuckles. He took a deep breath in but due to the situation was unable to calm down.

He began to shake in anger and rage. In his mind the door would be there but rather then simply opening the handle with his hand the boy imagined ripping it off its hindges. Eletrical power seemed to flow through and envolpe the entirety of the air around him but instead of a small blue orb of lighting it would be some sort of humanoid looking thing, resting back whilst Thom continued to glare at Ken.

Hate and exictment flooded his mind and the boy looked as if he were about to go on a rampage.

"I frankly don't care though. Run if you can because I'm coming at you!!"
(Thom)
[18:24:51] "Wasn't counting on that." Dr Veese assumed that Thom on his lonesome would fight Dr Veese. Afterall, he had defeated Dr Veese so easily last time, so why not again? but a missing factor in all this would be that his girlfriend? Had gotten in the way. A shame, as Dr Veese would be stripped of his vengeance. If only he was more stronger... More confidence in his ability. But not now, the fight would have to be post poned. Which only meant Dr Veese was going to get even more powerful.

Within blinks, the man was gone, out of sight before you 2 could see him exit. That bloody drakanite he dropped off for you? He was still there though-- probabaly should attend to him now....
(Ken Veese)
[18:29:07] RAGE!!!

Thom's mind didn't really care at this point. The boy had seen what had happened to Zain for some reason.. Twas not Zain's fault but that of Ken was it not? The hellstorm mage wanted to get back at the man, to make him hurt as much as Zain had been. And the blue humanoid creature that cackled and sparked seemed not to care eitherway, enjoying its momentary freedom.

But rather then fight Ken 1 on 1 as the man had wanted, or even 2 v 1, Ken would have ran, and ran much faster then Thom could follow. The hellstorm mage screamed in anger at this and his power would begin to strike out at everything nearby due to his rage. Rocks, random hills, grass.. All these things would be burnt and fried before Thom could even think about what or why.

"ILL GET YOU KEN!!!" Thom yelled somewhat in a mad manner as he continued to strike out. "I'll make you PAY!!"
(Thom)
[18:37:39] Watching the man depart, Gala can only roll her eyes. What had he expected? To throw a man beaten half to dead on the floor, demand a fight from Thom and just have Gala STAND ASIDE for it? What an idiot…Hissing under her breath, repressing the urge to chase after, she turns to look at the man he'd left behind. Who was he…? He sure looked to be in bad condition.

She would be speaking to Aamon about this later.

Watching her friend speed off to try and catch this violent and altogether terrible man, Gala would frown and turn to Zain. Crouching next to him, hands held out to press forward reserves of mana. Ultimately, this mana pushed into the ground and caused ivy and vines to rise and twist around the teen with dragon's blood. Carefully watching him, she winces at Thom's scream echoes; someone had really upset the boy. Apparently that man's name was Ken…Interesting.

Staring at the beaten teen, the girl watches as the healing factor of the plants slowly stop all of the bleeding and stabilize his condition enough he could be carried to the medical wing. The flora recede and his limp body floats a few feet off the ground. Walking towards Thom, a hand would lightly grip at his own.

"Come on Thom…We need to get this guy to the medical wing…"

Hopefully, if all went well, the orange haired boy would listen to the girl's soft words.

(Gala)
[18:46:11] For the most part, he could not recognize most of what was happening. He had simply been dragged off by Ken to a different place. It wasn't too far off, but he was slipped out of conciousness. He didn't know where he was, or what was going on. As he was sliding in and out, he would here snipits of sounds, and he would eventually fall out entirely...

...
.....

It was only so much time later that he would be concious again. His eyes would slowly open, and he could feel the tingling of mana. He would wince, as his eyes would slowly oprn up. Not fully, but enough to see what was around him. He would know Thom was there. "He.." That was the only word he managed to let out.

He would close his eyes again, but around his hand, he had somrthing wrapped very tightly. It was the sash from Ken. Ken had not taken it back. Zain was holding onto it as if his life depending on it. He was proud of the sash, but he could be proud later, when he was better.
(Zain Adaliah)
[18:52:09] HATE!!

At this point Thom did not even control himself. The orange haired youth would almost been entirely possessed by the blue sparking creature that seemed to come from his back. Once again he wildy attacked all around him, not really focusing so much on people as the enviorment up until the moment he heard words.

RAGE!

Thom's grey eyes would likely make contact with the green haired girl's hues.. Perhaps she would see the sheer desire to hurt things around him currently. The creature cackled and Thom turned a little bit to face both Gala and Zain. He wanted more then anything to fight at this moment..

But no.

The boy let out a final scream before begining to pound their fist over and over again into the dirt. He wanted to hit something but he had enough control not to lash out at his friends for now. It would take something extremely emotional to do that it would seem.

Hopefully he would calm down soon though.. It seemed Zain needed medical attention even with the healing Gala gave him.
(Thom)
