"Avice Locke, please report to the training center. Thank you."
Another one? With her outbursts, she must know why...

She wasn't with Cabal anymore but stilled they liked to forgetting that fact. It ticked her a bit.
Ticked her more so when she approached seeing a familiar face.
"For fucks sakes... What would you want?"

He brought his eyebrows up.
"Ouch....time leaves no love lost. My friend tells me you hate my guts, figured we could talk about why."
And if not....

"Well I'd make it much more obvious if Prota didn't have me on a twenty-four-seven downer. I congratulate ya for discerning that much from the nifty cyber boy you sent to test me." she crossed her arms and narrowed her gaze. "Well Blaze, why am I mad at you? If you guess right I'll tell ya my weakness."
Your move...

He had no idea what that last bit meant but-
"That....cyber boy wasn't meant to test you. He has a mind of his own. He was sent to test Cabal."
He sighed.
"I honestly have no idea why you're upset. But I'm willing to hear it."

She made a disgruntled noise.
"Fine... How about sending me to give a direct threat of war that wasnt yours to make!" She bared her fangs. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Certainly not anyone with Authority to push a War representing Asiv's territory, 259. So when I get there and he points a gun to my head while I am just following your orders. So King of T71, David Blaze, Storm Dragon, who the fuck do you think you are declaring war on grounds that are not your own and using a fool like me to do so!?"

David cocked a brow.
"If this is how you felt, why did you not send for me sooner?"
He'd wave off her answer, starting forward.
"Nevermind, the answer doesn't matter. If you feel I'm guilty of doing such a thing, what do you think it would take to make amends?"

"Ha...!" She pointed a finger at him. "And that is te problem with you! As well as the rest off he Dragons. You dont really think you are at fault with your actions or how they might effect others. You want to appeased my anger and send me about frolicking about like it fixes anything." she dropped her hands and shook her head sharply in disagreement.
"No Blaze that wont be enough, sadly there is no proper justice for how you've wronged me that day. Not one that I've yet to think of. Today you are not sorry nor do you feel the weight of what damage you could have done. But I do..." she pointed to her chest. "I could have killed many people because you thought you had the right and I trusted you to have done the right thing, because you said I could."
She threw her arms out to her sides in a firm strug. Silently saying fuck it, just how it is.

He stayed silent, letting her talk.
"I would explain, but from the moment you learned Neo was from me, you showed open hostility toward me. I did not think you'd care for a discussion on the matter, and thus jumped right to the reparations. But, if you think you could...stay the insults, I'd be more than willing to explain my actions to you....and why I do not believe anything I have done deserves an apology."
He waved his hand.
"Or you can stay angry and ignorant."

"I am still here am I not? As far as the insults go... We'll see..." She was if she hadn't wanted to hear what he had to say she had little thought on if it actually mattered or not but she was all ears. More so she had little respect over him and as far as he is concerned his dainty tiara, titles, and authority meant very little to her. Could he possibly say anything that could change her tune?

He'd blink.
"First, I'd address the claim that I cannot declare war. The supervisor of Cabal has many facets of authority- including engaging in combat operations. While true that an official declaration of war would have to come from Asiv, I did not specifically tell you to indicate 259 would go to war with Punk or territory 1. I told you to tell him to meet with Asiv, and if he refused, tell him he'd find war at at his doorstep. His actions have far reaching consequences, and eventually, someone will step on him."
His brow furrowed.
"Now- as to everything else, I do not understand why you place the blame at my feet. I did not tell you to strip naked, nor would I ever. That is abhorrent to me. I did not order you to declare war, and I warned you of what might happen. If you could not deliver the message without sacrificing your own body or mind, I'd rather you not deliver it. I gave you a teleportation crystal, to get out of there in case weapons were pointed at you, or you were threatened. When you saw Asiv, would you not question my orders? Question if I knew he'd be there? Why tell Punk to meet with Asiv if Asiv was present?"
He cracked his neck.
"It's odd, to me, that my orders being plain, and my words being to trust me would cause you to cast me in such a harsh light following the event. I would understand had you returned without delivery due to such a steep price. My question is- why do you not turn that anger on Punk? Or on Asiv, who turned his gun on you and threatened your life? I left Cabal because of his actions, both during that meeting and during our personal meeting following. As for us Dragons being unable to accept responsibility- you are again, wrong. You mix my title and me, and it's correct you should do so. But we Dragons are our own men and women. Don't treat us all the same."
He was standing about ten feet in front of her now.
"You did what you did on your own, Avice. Perhaps some part of you felt an obligation to do so. I, as a leader, did not need to give every piece of information and reasoning to you to justify what I wanted to say to Punk. When A general orders soldiers into the field, they don't usually ask why they're going. They just go, and let the politics sort themselves out. I am sorry, however, that whatever loyalty or responsibility you felt toward me and 259 was destroyed because of what you thought I did to you."

"Oh I am pissed as Asiv, I expected what I got from The Punk. But you should have gone through Asiv. Who had no idea you pulled this shit. I do not know how you knew what I did. But yes I blame Asiv, but you sent me there under his nose! You fed me to a hungry lion and I fought through it! Because, damn you! And how dare you--" she wretched dryly! Involuntarily to be honest but it would sway with her angry out burst. She would grow paler than usual and begin to beg her body not to do this pregnat bullshit now.
"I will not allow you to lay your share of this on me. Because I know my body carries this weight everyday. I know my sins, but I fought it. If you don't see anything you did was wrong... Then you are just as much a fool and a coward as I. It will ruin you Blaze. If not me it will be someone else. Just... You... Wait." she already knew it was ruining her one way or another.

David cocked a brow.
"Should I? In our meeting after, Asiv told me not to go through him. To do what I want without the proper channels- to assassinate, or infiltrate. You make these accusations without knowing what happened behind the scenes. I know what happened with you because Tyr told me. He was there with you."
He frowned.
"You are saying things that do not make sense. Why did you not question my orders to defend 260? Asiv knew nothing of that. Or what about defending Cabal? Or defending other territories? I had a responsibility, to do what was necessary to protect my people. To protect you. If it comforts you to blame me, that I should have done more...then you can continue to do so. I addressed my problems with Asiv, and have only ever tried to help you, and make you all better soldiers and hopefully, better people. I do not claim to be perfect. Quite the contrary. But what I told you to do was no different than anything else I've done, and questioning why I didn't to X or Y after the fact is just you shifting the blame."
He'd move up to, if she let him, put a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Again, I am sorry you blame me and Cabal for what's happened. But until you come to terms with your own faults, you'll always be turning your anger on others and blaming the world for your pain. Nothing that happened that day can be blamed on anyone but those in the room. That's the hard truth of it, Avice."
He doubted she'd realize that- at this point, she seemed too far gone in her anger, and blaming others makes the pain much easier to deal with.

A fury welled up in her and her eyes turned red. She would look at him dead in the face and not fathom he would have any inkling to blame for what he asked her to do. She might have bared all of her own accord but she was blaming him not for that. But he was using that to turn it around on her.
She heard one word whisper in her head...PRIDE.
Her hands clenched into a fist and her claws activated and she would strike his arms as they rested on her shoulders. She would strike the Dragon with a rage unlike any she had ever felt and her black fog of aura was thick and rose in a torrent. She would try to take his hands where they touched.
How dare he?! Who does he think he is?! How can he stand there and say that?! How can she just stand there and take it.
Attack: 30(36)-(45)
Defense: 20(21)-(36)
Speed: 30(31)-(179)
Perception:30(31)-(61)
Energy:32(36)-(77)
Damage: 96
Qi:4
Avice can now transform into a "Battle Form" which is orchestrated by Prota Scientists within her DNA. While also brainwashing her into believing in Prota's cause and laws. While in her Battle Form she gains access to the following abilities. Transformations last 5 posts:
-Snake Body: Avice has an extreme amount of flexibility, as if her bones and joints just can't be broken or stretched and bent in directions that do damage. +15 Def, +15 Spd
-360 Awareness: Avice can see, hear, smell, and feel her entire surrounding never being confused about the direction of something like a sound or person. +30 Per
-Breath Underwater: Avice has internal gills capable of allowing her to breath in liquids as if she were on land.
Special: Prota Crystal: Tritail's Soul Lvl 1
The crystal holds the battle armor of Tritails a three tailed Alpha Qi Beast Avice defeated. Gives access to Tritail's powers and battle armor. Avice can maintain the Battle Armor of Tritails for 3 posts at Lvl 1.
-Energy Claws: While in Tritails battle form Avice is able to use Tritails Energy Nails like slashing blades shooting slashing beams of energy doing her energy in damage +25%.
Burst Speed: A set distance to be quarter mile per 10-speed points. Can have a drawback as it will use a lot of Energy. Rest between bursts will be needed. The Qi will cycle through her body sending all motor and mental functions hyperactive to a point time might have seemed to slow and getting ahead of your opponent would be a tactical advantage. 75% speed boost to speed count.
Thirst: frenzy into a what could be described as a blood thirsty bat in the wind eyes glow a bright red color. speed and attack increase by 25%
*+5 power tattoo for Energy.
Items
Head: Helm of the Knights Cross (+5 defense) - This helmet seems light, and despite it's entirely metallic front, once worn it's entirely see through. Once per thread, Avice may totally ignore an attack on her. She completely disregards damage, Qi, and any other attack type, a simple shimmering shield forming over her body. Power Tattoo [ADD-ON]: This tattoo glows when needed adding +5 to a chosen stat. If there are any other Power Tattoo's in a thread they also activate. The Tattoos connect and add all bonuses to each other. (If one person activates it and gets +5 Atk, it activates someone elses tattoo, they choose +5 Spd, both get +5 Atk and +5 Spd.)
Legs: Anarchists Pants: +1 to all stats
Ability: On activation, increase wearers speed by 1/2 energy for thread. May be used once per thread.
Feet: left leg armor imbued with diamond of a thousand roughs (Ability 2: Diamond of a Thousand roughs, MYTHIC ITEM **May not be upgraded, traded or sold** - Avice finds herself connecting with the diamond on an intense level, and would feel like she jumped into a pool of untold amounts of energy. Avice has a pool of 1000 energy stored within the stone. Once per post, Avice may take up to her energy from this stone, stacking it on top of her own energy. She may also pass on a Qi use, adding 1/2 her energy into the stone up to 1,000 max energy. Once per thread, she may take 300 energy and heal herself fully with it.)

As she started to change, David's brows came down. Her attack was lightning quick, and would be met with his Armor of the Sky. She crashed through it, though her claws only scratched the surface of his skin, her attack on his other hand doing the same. He did not move, however, watching her, waiting. "Would ripping me apart satisfy your anger?" He let his hands bleed, ignoring the stinging pain that accompanied them.
Ability 1: Armor of the Sky - David is able to use his abilities to create a surface-like vacuum of air that can block a single blow for up to his energy. David may also use this ability to instead create a suit of armor around an ally rather than himself, blocking a blow they are about to take.
Aborbs 92 points of 95 damage.
