Then if he stays around and/or if my partner gets tired (and he will if he has to use power Maxes) we can go with the Drop and perhaps aim for a tank.)(And hopefully those PR guys are filming this.

knave Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Guy will try to organise a sparring match against a few of the trainers (using bokken)during which he'll do some Matrix type leaping about - including a few flips up onto and then off the tank that's being benchpressed / thrown about or whatever. He's not too bothered if he falls on his face a few times - he's more interested in pushing the envelope and most importantly keeping going. If he spots openings he's stop his punches / kicks and slices a few inches before they make contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepping off the chopper, Joseph Redfox stands there for a moment, taking in the view. A shorter, wiry man of American Indian descent, his stoic face reflects nothing as he surveys the base.Waiting for the new recruit is Ms Cable. The business suit-clad young blonde woman offers her hand to the new arrival, whlist trying to protect her hair-style from the wash of the chopper blades as it again takes off (an exercise in futility),\"Mr Redfox, glad you could make it.\"She smiles ::smile , then indicates for Joe to follow her,\"Some of the other new recruits mentioned that the food on the flight over was inadequete, so I thought we'd start with a trip to the mess...\"Shrugging, he shoulders his backpack and heads towards the mess hall. Entering the mess, he stops again and takes stock, assessing the room and the people within before helping himself to some food and sitting down in the corner, as far away from others as possible. Ms Cable just gets herself a coffee (black, no sugar), & places her palmtop computer on the table as she seats herself opposite Joe. She taps the screen with a stylus a few times, then looks over,"When you've eaten we'll get you settled in, then over to Superimpose."She suddenly looks concerned,"You've no tendencies to... er... 'wreck things for no reason' do you? Mr Sauvage reacts badly to rudeness & we've recently had an 'incident' with one of the other new recruits - something I'd prefer not to repeat..." ::confused Smiling again ::smile she adds,"Oh, I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to head to your new quarters via the outside Quantum power exercise fields - there's something I'd like to check up on..."Meanwhile, at the exercise field...A group of 'suits' walk into view at the edge of the field. With them are several Asian gentlemen in military uniforms, & one Asian lady in the same. Those who are more familiar with the variances of Eastern people realise that the group are Korean, as do those who have some familiarity with military uniforms (soldiers of the Republic of Korea - South Korea that is). The young female officer appears to be taking notes for an older man (in a General's uniform); the other men (of varying ages & ranks) are both looking around the base & asking questions, & watching out for any danger to the General.Acting quickly, Andy steps away from his trainers & takes a few seconds to concentrate, feeling the power grow within him until he can contain it no longer - the strain is incredible, but the mask of his costume acts to hide the pressure he's under. Concentrating hard he focuses on one of the 'practice tanks' [they actually work, but are older, cheaper, models - they tend to get wrecked in training...] about 50 meters from him (holding forth his hand for dramatic effect). With a groan of stressed metal the tank rises 10 meters in the air, then flys 30 meters across & down - following Andy's gestures, towards Alex!..... Spinning (almost as if he knew it was coming...) Alex transforms into the Dark Matter Destroyer - the ground shaking beneath his massive stride as he reaches towards the on-coming vehicle & plucks it from the sky! Following through the momentum of the vehicle the DMD spins it full-circle around his body, before letting go - arcing through the air back towards the waiting Lodestone!..... Like a flash the camouflage-garbed figure in the centre of a seemingly normal (if intense) kenjutsu workout leaps high - imposibly so - executing a graceful backflip, arms outspread, wooden sword in hand, before landing in a crouch on the airborne tank! Moments later the Samurai leaps once more into the fray, scattering his sparing partners with the speed & skill of his attack!The visiting military officers are frozen in place at the amazing scene that's just erupted next to them ::shocked . Even after seeing many other Novas in their tour of the base this performance is something a little special!.. ::blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
