Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

=He smiles again. Bigger=

Zayne: Come now Dormii. It's been so long.

=He leans off of the wall=

Zayne: Besides. Draco will just tell you the same things I will.

=He laughs=

Zayne: Would I ever lie to you.

(Dormii)
=my arm panels flare for a moment=
This is not a time to toy with me Zayne. Leave.

=i heard Mali's voice, clearer, more distinct=
"Oh, I like him..."

(Lana)
=i swim over to him and give him a quick kiss on the cheek=
Yes you are.

=I lose my (whatever concentration is used for floating) and flail in the water, before resurfacing=

*spitting water*

(Lana)
=i chuckle and keep swimming=
You okay, there, dear? You look like you're having trouble swimming.

lost my concentration...

(Lana)
Huh. Care to tell me why?

you can be distracting...

=He looks around the room=

Zayne: Why in the world would I do that? It's like a huge family reunion. Minus the annoying brat and his girl.

=He motions to his right arm, which is not on as of now=

Zayne: I wouldnt try anything, anyway.

=He smiles=

Zayne: You want to know what else had happened?

=He lowers his head=

Zayne: You'll love it.

=His eyes turn red at that moment and he looks back up=

(Dormii)
=those images flashed in my mind again, of Jay and Draco. My arm panels stopped any and all movement=
Draco...are you...with Shelby?

=my arm blade starts to extend, the blood becoming visible=

(Lana)
Yes I can. And you love it.

Zayne: I wanted to tell him!

=He nods=

Yes.

yeah... i do...



Tar:

=walking down the hall whistling=

(Dormii)
=something snapped, in my mind. It was an almost physical feeling. Anger flooded my face, my arm panels locked flat against my arm and my arm blade extended fully. The blood on it, which had yet to fully dry, started to drip. I clenched my other hand into a fist. I spoke, and fully understood what I was saying, as if I had been saying it for years=

Ut sciat. Vos qui noverant eam. Quis fuit. Et tamen adhuc ... ut occiderent te huic.

Quote :

You knew. You knew who she is. Who she was. And yet you still...I should kill you for this.

=i leaped forward and pinned him against the wall by his neck with my left hand=

=He feels the grip around his neck=
=He doesnt show fear. Something he had been taught to not do=
=He thinks of fighting, but there was one problem. Draco had no right arm and frankly. He really didnt want to fight. He chose the more logical route to just talk it out=

Dormii, I realize you are angry.
You have a right to be.

Scythe:

...

so how are you dear?

(Dormii)
=I hit Draco in the stomach with my knee before using my elbow to knock him sideways=
Quodlibet ius? IN IUS? Lorem mentitus ME! Tu mihi vis eam me memini. Duis quis est! Jay est! Nostis ipsam! Scires dixeratis mihi!

Quote :

Every right? EVERY RIGHT? YOU LIED TO ME! You told me you would help me make her remember. You know who she is! She is Jay! You know this! YOU TOLD ME YOU KNEW!

(Lana)
I'm getting kinda hungry. Wanna go get a bite to eat now?

sounds good!


Tar:

=hears shouting in a room=

just ignore it...

=He feels the hits. A bit of blood drips from the corner of his mouth=
=He looks right back at Dormii. A look that says. I will take all that you give out=

=He stays silent=

(Dormii)
=i swing my arm at him, aiming for his stomach=
Vocavi vos, Familia mea! Vocavi vos, Frater! Cur Hoc fecistis?

=the music repeats, and the first verse plays again=
"I'll seek you out, flay you alive.
One more word and you won't survive.
And I'm not scared, of your stolen power.
See right through you any hour."

(Lana)
=i swim over to the edge=
I'll get dressed then, dry off. Then go get some food. Sound good?

sure

= i get out and find a towel=

Zayne: Fuck this. I am the only one allowed to kill this S.O.B.

=His eyes change white and he uses his left hand to catch the fist=
=He uses his weight and uses his shoulder to push him and Dormii down=
=He rolls off of him and stands. He wipes away the blood=

(Dormii)
Cur? CUR?!

Quote :

Why? WHY?!

=i rolled away and stood up. I put the arm blade in the palm of my hand and drew a long cut. Blood started to flow, fast and in large number. I flung my hand at Draco and blood splattered onto his face=

Sanguinius...SANGUINIUS!

Quote :

Blood...BLOOD!

=i leapt at Draco again and aimed for a tackle=

(Lana)
=i walk off to the changing room and start drying off, putting my orginal clothes on=

i put my shirt back on





Tar:

that doesn't sound good...

just ignore it

=The blood splattered onto his face. Sort of blinding him. He notices the form that Dormii had taken. As he neared Zayne brought his knee up to Dormii's face=

Zayne: How about.

You calm.

D/Z: Down.

(Dormii)
=i stood up, wiping the blood from my busted lip. I stand up, visibly angry=
Exis. Nunc.

Quote :

You are leaving. Now.

Conveni in portum me una hora. Lorem tela arma.

Quote :

Meet me in the harbor in one hour. Bring your weapons and armor.

=i glared at him, resisting every urge to kill him=

=He stares him down. One eye white, one red=
=He turns and walks out. Shutting the door behind him=

Zayne: That could have gone better

Shut it

(Dormii)
=i sat down on my bed and thought for a moment. Draco had effectively betrayed me. He lied to me. He told me he would help Shelby remember who she is. Instead, he did this. I couldn't believe it, and yet he admitted it. He didn't even try to deny it, to his credit. But it still didn't quell my anger. If he survived our fight, I would not be able to talk to him. As I thought these thoughts, I did something I had not done when in a sane mind. I re-opened my scars on my chest. I grabbed my knife from my armor, took off my shirt, and slowly started to let the blood flow again. I retraced what I already made on my chest. I didn't think about it, I just let it happen. The bed was soon covered in blood, but I didn't care=

Sanguinem cæcitatem meam.
Urit enim dolor.
Vociferatiis nobis damnati.

=He cracks his neck and leaves for the armoury. He had asked a group to move his armour and weapons there for quick access=

Zayne: So, are you going to let him beat the shit out of you?

=He stays silent as he continues to walk=

(Dormii)
=after a moment. I grabbed my weapons, not putting my armor on, and walked off towards the training room to beat the crap out out of something in the hopes it would calm me down somewhat. The blood from my newly reopened scars dripped onto the floor, leaving a red trail behind me=

=He enters the armoury after a time. Looking around at the walls of weapons. He walks to the armour stands first. First, he attaches his right arm. Second, taking his armour off the stand and putting it on he sighs. The process takes it's time and when he was done, he removed the Handcannon from it's holder=

=He opens a screen on his helmet and chooses a translator. He scrolls through the options and chooses Latin from the list=

=He stands there for a moment before going into a fighting stance. If it comes down to CQC, which it may, he wants to be ready for it=

(Dormii)
=i got into the training room, and something about the way I looked and moved put everyone off. They all slowly stopped what they were doing and left, leaving me alone. I walked into the holo room and brought up the image of a few soldiers. I put the weapons down and started attacking them with my fists and feet, preferring to beat them to death for now before doing anything else=

=His eyes grow wide as he passes out. His limp body falls against the nearby wall=
=He awakens in his own mind; like he had done so many times beforehand. He stands in full armour. His adversary standing in front of him. The area looked of the hanger of the Whisper of Life. People on the outskirts watching on=

=A voice comes over the comms of the hanger=

Zayne: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome, to the main event of the night! In one corner, the Viking! In the other, the Juggernaut!

=He sighs, whether he liked it or not, this would be where he would be training for an hour=
=They take on stances and they begin to fight. Blades first=

(Dormii)
=I beat on the holograms for a few minutes, sending blood both real and holographic in all directions. I restart the simulation and pick up the mace-flail. I start swinging and bashing the holograms. More blood flew as I moved, splattering against the walls and floors=

I will not kill you...I will make you suffer...

=They each extend their blades and run towards each other, the ghost form stabs forward while Dante turns left. Another stab forward and a turn right. The ghost catches on and tricks him, making a successful stab in the arm. A quick pain shoots through him as he raises the blade and cuts the others off=

=He takes the blades stem and rips it out. He tosses it away and returns to a stance, he steps forward and slices right. The form goes left and delivers a right to the helmet=

I've suffered... Time to end it...

=Delta removes his helmet, placing it next to him on the console. His solid black eyes flickered with the occasional red twinkles as he accessed their HUD. Data scrolled through his vision as he spoke=

De- You know why ae are here, Inheritor. Else your planet would already be suffering the effects of a Black Hole.

(Jason)
I've been informed that you believe me to be involved in an attack against your people.

=He recovers and plants his feet. Retracting the blade he delivers a combo of four to the chest. Pushing the form back. The form takes out a mace-flail and begins swinging it violently around. He dodges the swings and takes out the Handcannon, placing two shots to the flail. It flies out of the hand and clatters to the floor=

De- upon more logical thinking, it is apparent that you were not, though my trust in your people is still low at best. No, Inheritor, we come to make peace between our people. All of our people.

=Hi eyes continued to twinkle with little spots of dark red in the black void of his eyes=

(Dormii)
=i continued to fight, swapping out my weapons occasionally to train with them again, even if I had only just used them. I was preparing to fight someone I called family, someone I considered a brother. I had to prepare for this, in more than one sense. I wasn't scared, or sad, just angry. I wanted his blood. I wanted him to suffer. I wanted him to know the consequences of his choice=

(Jason)
Forgive me, but I am hesitant to believe you. I mean no offense by it, but given events of the past, and what I do know about you..........

=The form comes at him, new weapons materialising out of thin air. The form manages to get a good few hits in, he returns with the same force as the form. Zayne had studied Dormii's style during their past fights and he is adapting them to the fight=

=He dodges left to avoid being hit and delivers a right to the helmet=

De- You know that i am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure my people's safety. I came here to make peace with you, and to eliminate the threat of us one day eradicating eachother.

(Jason)
Yeah, I know. I also know that in the process of defending your people, you wiped out several colonies.
=Yeah yeah, not my best at diplomacy, sue me. I'm a soldier, not a diplomat=

Look, I'm sorry if my words seem harsh. I've barely had anytime to rest, what with nearly everyone and their grandma coming down here to my planet. I'm willing to discuss peace, but to be honest, I'm not the only one that should be discussing this. The Council will also want to speak with you.

(Dormii)
=i discarded the hook-cable-blade and picked up the spear. I stabbed and sliced and smashed with it, creating large arcs of both holographic and real blood. I impaled one target, and lifted it up, causing it to slide down the spear before dissolving. I spun it in my hand and smashed the flail into another target=

=Delta crosses his arms=

De- Then speak to me they shall.

=He throws his helmet off as he begins to cough up blood. He takes the HC and begins firing it at the form=
=It dodges the shots except for one. The form turns right and uses the spear, stabbing it forward. It nails his right arm and the form rips it off=

=He grabs the form by the throat and knees it in the stomach=

(Jason)
Well, that may be a problem. See, from my understanding, for peace talks, we must meet on neutral ground.

De- Then i shall let you decide the ground, Inheritor.

(Dormii)
=i stop fighting and pick up my weapons. I wrap the hook-cable-blade around my arm, putting the hook on either side of my shoulder, and the blade hanging off of my arm at the elbow. I had put the forearm plate on, so there was some protection on my left arm as well as a last-ditch stabbing weapon. I hold the spear in my right hand, the knife-ring going around my right wrist, and the mace-flail in my left hand. I walked off towards the hanger, ignoring that I had no armor, and was still dripping blood=

(Jason)
Very well. A moment please.
=I ended the video link, and called the Council. Thankfully, they had already assembled in the Council tower, as per standard protocols=

Council, how much did you hear?

(David)
Enough.

(Jason)
Any ideas?

(Carolyn)
What about the tower? Technically speaking, it's not really apart of Haven.

(Jason)
True. But, it's inside Haven.

=At that time, Delta and the other five XNNO leaders, as well as the three Sethalii, the Revaer, and Vera, counciled over the Video comm=
