A Quest! - For all worthy POs

[Tobias]

Tobias helps lift up the trout weilder, and asks him:

"What exactly happened?"

[Metal Man]

Metal Man grimaces.

"I don't usually share this story, but... 10 years ago, I lived in a small town with my mother. I had no powers, no weapons, no need for fighting. One night, I was awoken from my sleep by screaming in the streets outside. I ran downstairs, and outside, just in time to see my mother cut down by a man on a horse, dressed in black. In that moment, watching my mother's life torn away, watching the only person I ever cared about leave me, something inside me snapped. I burst into flame, the inferno swirling around me, soaring above me into the sky. I turned, grabbed the nearest object to me, and somehow felt myself bind to it. Looking down, I had grabbed a huge trout from a store several doors down. Turning back towards the men, who had frozen with fear, I put all my weight, all my fear, all my rage into one blow- and it never landed. I don't know how, but that man on horseback caught my attack with one hand. The flames did nothing, the club did nothing, I didn't understand. I still don't to this day. I suddenly met the eyes of the stranger, his eyes the only thing visible in his black hood. Pain shot through my head, it felt as if it was splitting open, and the world went black. I woke up on the side of the highway, left for dead. My entire town had been slaughtered by this man."

Metal Man stands up, holding on the the wall for support.

"My entire life, I've searched for him. Today... I found him. In the streets of a town about 20 miles east of here. We fought, for nearly and hour. I never landed a blow. I've come to suspect that as someone who was there during the realization of my power, it can't hurt him. This is why I need your help. Will anyone come with me?"

[Sperrit]

Sperrit walks over and puts his hand on Metal Man's shoulder. He glows green for a second and all his injuries heal and the silver metal falls off, showing no scars. He holds out his hand and pulls Metal Man up. He grins. "Come on, buddy. You've survived worse than this."
He grabs a drink from the bar and passes it to Metal Man. Sperrit focuses some Earth energy on it and then motions to Metal Man to drink it. "I've modified it. After all it's only made of barley, which is from the Earth. It'll help."
Sperrit reached over the bar and pulled out his back pack. He nodded to Metal Man. "I'll help you, my friend. I know what it's like to have everything taken away from you." Sperrit started putting supplies into the pack. "But I also know that you can't allow revenge to consume you. Are you still going to go, knowing that it may bring you no satisfaction?"

OOC: Just remember if this is going to turn into an actual quest it needs to go in the Senario Battles Forum. K?

[Tobias]

"hmm, interesting, a man with a black hood?"

Tobias then smiles

"I'll help ya Metal Man. Maybe he's just immune to Fire abilities, or just has a massive power, that is enough to negate ur energy. Maybe he just has to tango with someone of equal strength"

[Sakura]

Sakura peeps out from hiding spot and taps him on the shoulder, "I'd like to go. And you know what?! No ones gunna stop me! I may seem 'just a girl', but I'm strong. And besides...I like to help out...my friends." Sakura smiles softly. She rummages through her kimono and pulls out senzu pocky. "You might wanna keep this if you lose your energy. It always helps." She holds it out to him.

[Azurel]

Rayne looks at Sakura and then back to MM.

"I wasn't going to go along. But now I have to. This IS really your problem but I havent been into a fight in a while so this may do me some good."

[Aindriahhn]

"Hmm, sounds serious, and dangerous."

"I better come then"

*Aindriahhn stomps on the ground in a certain spot, all the dart dart boards slide up, and the pool table opens, revealing various swords, darts, axes, and other weapons*

"Anyone need to borrow anything?"

*Aindriahhn arms himself*

[Metal Man]

His wounds healed, Metal Man gulps down the drink, thanks Sperrit, and hops up off the stool.

"Perhaps this would help..."

Metal Man picks up a short sword, and gives it a few solid swings.

"Yes. This will definitely help."

Metal Man turns to the rest of the people in the Pub.

"I thank you for being beside me. Now is my moment of truth; this is the only thing I've lived for. Revenge may have consumed me, but I will destroy his life as he destroyed mine. Only then can I have closure."

(If anyone wants to go on the whole quest-bit, I'll start a thread titled Quest, Revenge ... ja.)
