Valor

[Zack Asiv]

Off duty...


Thats what it would have been had this been a normal day. But this was nothing of normal one would think. They where wearing normal clothes sure, but that was to fit in. A club in the downtown where fights took place would be the scene, once in the door the inside would be ciruler, the floor seemed to just tilt towards the middle bringing even more attention to the ring where two titans where beating each other down, fists wrapped in rope, blood in the ring amd on the fighters, neither still even looked warmed up.

But in a certain corner as is usual, where some shady looking group of people. But anyone would spot the man wearing the crown, a small golden ring around his forehead with a red ruby in the middle. Two guys where standing there talking to him.

"We got it from his office he kept it in a secret room."

"Show it to me."

The one would reach into his jacket pocket and pull out an orb, red in color, but it seemed to be filled with the red as every now and then it would seem to shift inside.

"So... This is Valor..."



((OoC: First three to join have dibs, after three no one else can join.))

[Arthur Ð]

Arthur would watch from the crowds. It always paid to observe those who engaged in any kind of professional fighting circuit even if it was underground. He realised his weakness was experience and to act like the monkey was his best bet. A small glint of a red object would draw his eyes though, from under his hooded guise, he began to dismiss the fight and observe the others. A small sense of curiosity began to creep into his mind.

[Kevala Badoer]

Okay so she was here. For whatever fucking reason. Damn voice in her head!

She wished that Gabriel had helped her get rid of that one to. But yeah so here she was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. At this point it is not even needed to state who said shirt belonged to. Cause if you did not know then you were just stupid. Leaning back against a wall.

Why was she here?

Oh yeah, she had already asked herself that question!

STUPID BRAIN!

WORK!!

For now she stayed silent.

Why?

Cause yeah..not sure what else to do and.....she was lazy.

>.>

<.<

Yeah...that was it.

Those icy hues scanning over the area as she let her brown hair fall down into her face. A little sigh passing her lips as she grumbled to herself about even being here. This was not going to be a typical thing...she just knew it!

DAMN VOICE!!!

[Kazuya Hikari]

His arms folded casually across his chest, Alex stood off in one corner by himself, watching the clash of the two titans take place. Clad in his usual black overcoat, the only reason he was here, was merely to watch and observe those that engaged in professional fighting, and try to pick up a new move or two.

Underground or not, it still was rather interesting to watch. Alex's eyes scanned across the circular room, as a glint of red from somewhere across the room caught his attention. A small smirk slipped out from beneath his calm expression, as he continued to stay silent and under the radar... for now. No need to draw any unwanted attention his way until the time was right. Well well, what do we have here? The group of people looked like regular people, but the crown one of them men wore didn't exactly scream normalcy.

Alex's smirk widened even more, as his eyes glimmered with a dark, almost sinister look to them. Things were about to get very interesting it seemed...

[Zack Asiv]

The man would stare at the orb for a few moments before looking to his followers.

"So, did Asiv put up much of a fight?"

The others would burst in laughter. One of the henchman would speak up half laughing.

"Asiv? That fool, one of his guards and a seer tried to get in our way. They all went down easily."

The man would put the orb in a sack and tie it to his belt looking around rapidly before looking at his henchmen.

"You idiots. The Red Eye'd Coyote is clever, if it was as easy as you said he planned it!"

The others shut up quickly as the air would grow tense, the two fighters in the ring would be taking a break for the round, making sure to get any blood moved from their eyes and rest, catch their breath, and get ready to move back in.

[Arthur Ð]

Arthur was not able to hear much but his ghoulish features were turned to observe the meeting. Their movements and that gem seemed odd. He began to weave his way through the crowed, edging closer with his interest piqued. He would stop just short though, trying to avoid being seen yet as he wanted to hear what was being said first. Though there was always the temptation to just go out there, kick some butt and steal their stuff.

[Kevala Badoer]

Kevala stood there, her mind picking up on a few things of interest. One being the male that she despised more than anything else on this planet. Arthur. A shudder running through her mind as instantly all the voices in her mind tried to break free.

Oh no. Not now! Turning her eyes away from him to try and settle herself down some. A brief brush of her tongue over her lips and those icy hues settled upon another familiar face.

Though at that moment a name was spoken that caught her attention. Asiv? What was this about? FUCK! Not the interest thing! Her one weakness!.....But it was as she turned back to look in the direction of the name that she noted Arthur on the move. Those now crimson eyes settling upon him.

Apparently he had gotten the same bit of interest in the group she was now looking at. But she was not stupid. She would first find herself a friend and then investigate. Heh.....Duh! Not about to go near Arthur with nobody there for her.

Pushing her way through the crowd until her small hand could reach out, placing itself against Alex's arm.

"Hey"

Speaking up above the crowd enough so that he could hear her and in turn she could gain his attention. Though from the look of it, he to had an interest in the pair.

"What is going on?"

She could tell something was up. Perhaps he would know what.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Although Alex looked as if he was busy watching the fight, in actuality, he was paying much more attention to the conversation that took place nearby. He was just very good at keeping his expression fixated on one event, when he was actually paying more attention to another. His eyes shifted back and forth between the two fighters, as he caught a familiar name said by the group he was listening to. Asiv. The School Supervisor. So this involved him as well. Now it was getting interesting. And it appeared he wasn't the only one interested as well. He saw someone move through the crowd, heading in the direction of the group that had mentioned Asiv, while Alex continued to stay in his present location. He had no idea what this group was capable of, or what they intended to do. There was no point in rushing in and ending up having his ass handed to him.

His attention still focused on the group, he failed to notice a familiar face make her way through the crowd, and only noticed when he felt a touch on his arm followed by a greeting, as he turned in the direction, his arms still folded, and saw it was Kevala. "... Hey." He replied back, his voice loud enough so that she could hear him, but not so loud that he was practically shouting at her. "... Seems that orb that group has is named Valor, and they nicked it from Asiv." That was as much as Alex knew. Any more, would just be plain God-Modding. "But your guess is as good as mine as to what that orb does. Looks like we aren't the only ones that are curious. Shall we just happen to wander over and have a look?"

[Zack Asiv]

"Grrr! Idiots, you three, go get Stone. I'll hang on to Valor, the other Dragons can wait."

The man stood and shoved the orb into his bag before walking towards an exit, the next round bell would go off and the fighters where back at each other. Three of the goons would follow the man, as the others did as they where told running off somewhere.

"But, boss... Dont you think Go-"

The thug would be hammered in the side of the head from the man with the crown around his forehead.

"Idiot! Dont say that name outside of the organization."

"Sorry boss... But still dont you think they should know."

The guy kept walking as they would move to the parking lot.

"Dont worry... I'm sure by now... They know."

[Arthur Ð]

Arthurs interest waxed at the word 'Dragons'. There was only one such mythical group around, and Arthur was determined to destroy its legacy as he would its leader. All thoughts for starting this with open conflict ended as he pushed his way out of the crowed. The maggots on his face moved slowly, as they continued their never ending task of ensuring he remained clear of infection.

Following them outside, Arthur would stop a short distance away from them before he began to speak.

"You. Speak. Of. Fire. Lizards. Over. Grown. Salamanders. Would. I. Presume. You. Are. Not. Friends. Of. A. Blonde. Who. Leads. One. Such. Group.?" Arthur called out across the courtyard. The Stillborn heir opened its eyes in its glass cylinder, interested in the conversation that was about to unfold. Arthur himself had his hood down, so his disfigured face was clearly visible.

[Kevala Badoer]

She kept her eyes on the group as he spoke, nodding softly as she noted Arthur moving along with his interest upon the group.

Indeed somebody had taken interest. Though she was certain that his interest in this did not hold the same as her's and Alex's ( before Regalia I am assuming..if not then I can edit ).

"Yes....I think a closer inspection would be wise."

A soft grin cast upward toward him, as she moved forward, assuming that he was doing the same along side her. Then she stopped, those eyes noting the men moving....obviously having noted the sudden interest they had gained from the three of them.

Well, it probably did not help that Arthur had advanced in the manner he had, but HEY, who was she to say anything? Heh. Instead she would let them make their exit before she would look back over at Alex, a raise of her brow given.

"Seems that somebody was in a hurry to get out of they view of prying eyes...Heh...Shall we?"

That mischievous grin curling on her lips as she motioned her head toward the door.

She would wait...not only because she felt the need to but because HE was out there by now and she had no desire to face him alone just yet. That time would come soon enough.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Alex cracked a wise-guy grin back at her as he kept pace with her, before halting beside her, noting that the group of men were now on the move. Question is, why? There was a massive crowd of people surrounding them, and it would be slightly difficult to notice that three people had taken sudden interest in the orb they possessed. Though the other guy who had swiftly moved towards them probably factored in. Towering slightly over Kevala, his arms casually folded across his chest, Alex would wait for the group to exit, stage right, as he noticed Kevala look over at him, one eyebrow raised. "Oh by all means m'lady, but of course." Alex replied, the wise-guy grin back on his face, as he led the way out the door, managing to catch the last bit of words Arthur had said... well in this case, more like breathe. He had heard the word "Dragons" mentioned before by the man with the crown. He couldn't remember if he ever heard the word before, or mentioned to him.

Coming to a stop behind Arthur, Alex could only make the back of his head. He couldn't actually see his disfigured face, and what he could see, was only a sideways portrait. "Stone huh?" Alex mentioned out loud, as he folded his arms casually across his chest, his bokken strapped to the back of his waist. Instead of standing in front of Kevala however, he stood slightly in front but beside her, signifying he thought of her as an equal, not someone to look down on as weaker than he was. They were both fighters, and in that sense, he would give her the respect she deserved. "Nice orb your boss has with him. So tell me, what is Valor? We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." Alex said, smirking slightly. "Don't make it any harder on yourself, just say what it does." Though Alex had a feeling this wasn't going to end peacefully. Sooner or later, a fight and violence was going to break out, and he'd have to fight. So much for a peaceful evening...

[Zack Asiv]

"Fakes!"

The man would say, spitting the word with almost vile detest. The look in his eye at the mention of that group just pissed him off. Yet he would silent himself further at the arrival of two more, though they questioned what Valor did.

"Why dont you ask your boss, he knows more about this thing than I do."

The man would bounce the orb in his hand as if taunting the others with it, as if asking them to try for it. The mans fears had come true, that old man did plan this whole thing. It all fit together now, by letting them steal Valor back it was like opening a window to your enemies. They where all in the open, and all accessable.

~Hurry up stone.~

"But guessing that your here under his orders, looks like I have no choice but to destroy you all."

[Arthur Ð]

"Boss.? Have. None. Though. Those. Who. Hold. Allegience. Against. Him. I. Would. Find. Myself. Open. To. Negotiation. With." Arthur would remark, taking a step to the side, he would gaze over at who had approached behind him. An unknown and... dear Kevala.... That sick, lipless grin appeared on his mouth.

"Dear. Kevala. It. Is. Good. To. See. You. Have. You. Come. To. See. The. Heir.?" Arthur asked, the babe at Arthurs side would come to life in its cylinder. Staring at its mother, waving slightly.

[Kevala Badoer]

Kevala listened. What the fuck had she gotten herself into now? Shaking her head as she looked back at Alex and raised her brow.

"Oh great...I got sucked into something didnt I?"

Yeah that always tended to be her thing as of late. Getting sucked into some bad situation or another. Speaking of which, now Arthur would turn to her and speak. JUST FUCKING GREAT!

This night got better and better!

Her eyes falling on that cylinder and a shudder running through her spine. Eyes flashing to crimson as fire danced in her gaze. He was going to go down one day. She would see to it.

Gabriel's voice filling her mind. The words he had spoken to her filling her mind as she tried to steady herself now. She had to remember what he had taught her.

Her body shifting a bit closer to Alex out of reaction to being so close to the man who had kidnapped and tortured her. Though she would not divert her gaze from him.

"FUCK YOU ARTHUR!!! That is not my child! My child died! You hold the body but the spirit is gone!"

A growl sounding from her as she narrowed her eyes on him. Turning her attention back to the men and trembling lightly. She did not know what she had just gotten into, but now, she really did not care.

Hurting somebody was all that really came to mind. Besides, Alex was a friend, or at least in her mind he was, she would help him. No matter what she thought about Crispy Critter Boy being there.
