Gathered like a storm (Bailey/David)

[Blake Oleander]

It had been some days since his return from the mountains with the final dragon balls, and his body had regenerated.  Back to fighting shape, with the exception of his right arm.  Still as numb as the moment the beast bit into him.  The scar faded on his shoulder, healed but present now and likely forever.  But it was a small price to pay for the future of his people.  They were outside of the city proper in one of the meadows that made up the cleared out areas of Aurora, the balls gathered and laying before them on the ground.  He'd turn to Bailey and then to Virgil.

"What do I do now that I have all of the Dragon Balls gathered Virgil?" 

[Bailey Oleander]

Enough time had passed since Blake's return that, while she still fussed in silence, Bailey was no longer bitching at Blake with hormone-fueled anger. And now they were seeing what would happen now that all the footwork had been done to bring all of the dragon balls together. She nodded when he turned to her, shifting her weight as her focus turned to Virgil as well as Jackal muttered and fussed about.

It was time to see what Virgil had to say, and what would come next.

[David B.]

"Summon the Dragons, Ask them for control."

[Blake Oleander]

Blake would approach, grunting in pain as two more arms shifted out of his body as he sat down next to the gathered balls. Placing two in his lap and holding onto the other four so he could summon all six of them.

[Bailey Oleander]

For now, Bailey ramined where she was, watching with a careful eye on the situation!

[David B.]

From out of each ball, the Dragons emerged, all lined up and looking to Blake. Mathew sniffed, Valo smirked at David, and Leon was picking his nose.

"....what now?" Ark said. Valo answered.

"It's obvious. He completed his collection, now he looks for our power."

[Blake Oleander]

"I am asking you for control now."

[David B.]

Leon finished his digging, and spoke.

"Do you even know what that means? What happens?"

[Blake Oleander]

"All I know is it is a means to protect my home and people. If you are willing to give me the details then I am all ears."

But the cost to himself rarely mattered when put up against the security of his home and the prosperity of his people.

[David B.]

David answered.

"You could die."

[Blake Oleander]

"Could have trying to get the balls too."

[Bailey Oleander]

Bailey presses her lips together but says nothing - somehow. Probably the fact that it's not the first time either of them have had that staring them down as a potential fate. And all the times Blake had gone against it just to get the balls.

But boy she's not happy about it.

[David B.]

Mathew was staring at Blake.

"He put in the work, I'm fine with it. Let him dig his own grave."

Leon shrugged.

"I'm fine with it too."

David nodded in agreement, as did Faust and Ark. Valo would furrow his brow....but finally nod.

"Very well."

The Dragons each faded and vanished, then the balls shook in his hands and start to get hotter. And hotter. Searing hot, likely forcing Blake to drop them. They'd grow bright white, then vanish in an instant. In their place was a single dragon ball, a swirling torrent of all the Dragons colors.

[Blake Oleander]

Blake held on as long as he could before dropping the balls and looking down at the one that remained. A frown on his face.

"What does this Dragon Ball do Virgil? And how might it kill me?"

[David B.]

"It's the final Dragon Ball. It's energy might overwhelm your body when you pick it up."
