The Bell Tolls - TBT Act 2 - Operating In Tanden

[Toggle Names]

Description: As Haru secures the main apartment complex, Sie Kensou searches throughout the complex, and finds a hidden elevator to deep below. With some quick words to his allies, Kensou boldly and foolish descends below. There, rather than mere prisoners, he finds the recently evacuated lab complex of Shadaloo's hidden operations. Worse yet, he encounters Seth15 in the midst of packing away the last pieces of arcane technology. Kensou might think he's finally found who'd attacked Athena, but Seth15 has found just one more prisoner to fill the ranks of the V Project.



[KENSOU]
Sie Kensou was angry.

When he found out Athena was.... assaulted by a man on the streets outside of Justice High? When he found out about that, he was very, very angry. Embarassed, that he wasn't there to protect Athena. He almost insisted that she stay back, but... well, that wasn't an option. This wasn't about protecting Athena, really.

This was about protecting everyone.

The team sent itself to the Southtown Village, where they were following the lead. Athena went to the old church. Haru and Kensou reached the apartment complex; it was there, where they found the elevator, and the signs of the evacuation, as they watched a van get loaded. What they were supposed to do was call Athena, and give her the heads up. Or even call the police. But Kensou told Haru, before he went to the elevator door.

"I'm going in."

Sie Kensou descends down the elevator, locking himself in a defensive martial arts stance. Down, down, down it goes, as Kensou is dead alert for anything, everything. He was not fearless; there was a fear. But he was going deeper without Athena, without his allies. He was alone, in a sense. But he had to act now. He had to stop this. He had to prove that he was not useless. He had to prove to Athena, that he could stop these threats. He wasn't going to let Athena come down here alone, or with him. If there was something absolutely dangerous? Then they would take her, not him.

The elevator rings, as the door finally opens.

[SETH15]
The elevator door opens on a vast room, and it is apparent that... things had happened here. Lots of disconnected cables strewn about, boxes and crates open and waiting to receive items. Powered down and disconnected computers awaiting shipment.

And more than a few gurneys. And a stack of bodybags.

There is activity, as well, people scurrying about, packing bags and boxes and containers. A couple of people are pushing gurneys about, all of them in a hurry.

None of them seem to notice Kensou just yet; there is too much going on, too much that still needs to be done before the site is sterilized...

...and not enough time to get it done.

[KENSOU]
Well, in his -head- Kensou imagined something like this:

He would burst out, and declare 'you are all under arrest.' He would then fight all the men, carefully using his martial arts to wear them down, before finally striking down the leader. Athena would arrive at just the last minute, to see him so heroically defeating the brute who attacked her. She would clutch her heart, and go 'my hero.' And Kensou would just smile, before the villain would come at his back, and then Kensou would roundhouse kick him as Athena would shout 'Kensou look out!'

Reality though?

Kensou was afraid.

Kensou doesn't announce himself. Keeping himself low, he moves quickly. While not a ninja, he was fast and agile. Keeping his head low, he goes down to boxes, towards the containers at the corner. And there, with the boxes around, he tries to move around away from the elevator to hide behind it. To watch it from safety. To try and lurk and listen, to get an idea of what is going -on-

[SETH15]
It looks like people are tearing the place down, moving out. Plenty of hustle and bustle, lots of motion for the Psycho Soldier to pick his way through if he is careful. There is a tension in this room; anxiety, impatience, a drive to get the hell out of Dodge.

One would think there were some kind ticking bomb or something.

There are other things as well, if Kensou is sensitive enough to pick up on such things: a lingering sense of agony, of despair. Things Happened here, not none of them good or even nice. The young Justice High student would have to dig deeper to find out exactly what, but the barrels with the multicircular symbol denoting biohazaardous materials may provide some indicator. Kensou is a bit too late to bear witness to the heavier machinery; they had all been moved out the day before, once it became known that Athena's acquisition had not gone as planned.

There is, however, a presence that might stick out to the young man. If he dares to investigate further.

[KENSOU]
Kensou, for all his impulsive nature, was all too aware of the tension in the room.

The emotional imprinting was overwhelming; the sense of... escaping. Sie Kensoue makes the assumption that after Athena was not captured, that they were retreating. It would be thus, logical, that -other- people were targeted, by the size of the facility. After all, they didn't need all this for Athena... Right? The martial artist was nervous. But he couldn't run, he shouldn't run. And yet...

And yet, there was a stronger presence, above all.

Kensou carefully moves himself around, following the incredible pressure. Cautiously, of course. If he had to, he would retreat. He would run away. ANd yet, the prying curiosity.... Kensou had to dig deeper. For his sake. For everyone's sake.

For Athena's sake.

[SETH15]
Kensou makes his way into the facility. It is a slow, treacherous thing. He is very nearly spotted on a couple of occassions. But then it happens. Kensou enters a room that is clearly something of an observation theater, one where someone can oversee experiments in progress.

"Interesting," a voice purrs in a basso profundo from behind Kensou, "Usually, I have to send someone out to acquire my more vital test subjects."

If Kensou turns to face the source of the voice, well, it's an odd sight.

The man, if it can be called that, looms over the student by nearly a foot. He is naked, and there are things that are more... unusual than all of that. His skin, all of it, seems to be made of some kind of silvery material. He is about as anatomically correct as a Ken doll; muscular and built in a masculine way, but lacking parts that generally go with that. His torso does not seem to connect to his hips.

And there is an odd spherical object, decorated to resemble a yin-yang symbol, that spins and rotates in dizzying ways where his abdomen ought to be. Cold blue eyes stare down at Kensou with consideration.

"It is a rare thing indeed for such subjects to come to me willingly," the man says. "Surrender, and things will go easier for you. It would set things back further if I have to wait for you to... recuperate."

The person makes no immediate movement, waiting for a response from the young man.

[KENSOU]
Oh no.

Kensou goes too deep, too far. He is almost seen, but he had to get to the bottom of this. He had to know. He had to... SOMETHING. And yet, it was all a fool's errand. And to that, he reaches the fool's end. When the booming sound comes, Kensou freezes in mid-step. He begins to sweat, as he realizes how far he had come to fall into a trap. And when the alien... thing reveals himself, mere inches away, he feels it all. The crushing presence. He stumbles away from the crushing shadow; he could have attacked at any moment. And his jaw slack, he tries to say something.

Kensou is speechless.

Fight or flight rushes through him, as he realizes. That while he was not Athena... he was a consolation prize. A target. A victim. And yet, Kensou steels himself. He couldn't let himself be taken. Haru was... Athena was... there was too much at stake. He wouldn't let this villain continue. He wasn't going to let the bad guys win. He draws in a sucking breath, refusing to release his gaze upon the stranger.

He would not let himself be broken.

"Who the heck do you think you are, trying to kidnap Athena!" Kensou bursts out, sweeping his arms around, spreading his legs as he falls into his fighting stance. "You won't take me, or anybody else in Southtown! Your evil ends here, right now, you got that?!" Kensou draws in a heavy breath, before he rumbles with an inner resolve.

And he attacks.

Flinging himself through the air at the strange figure, he hurls out a flying elbow. He was aiming to try and overwhelm the strange figure, unleashing a staggering, relentless assault out of the gate. Whether the first connects, he would fling out a rapid aerial knee, before finishing with a sweeping kick at the end. No more hesitation, no more restraint. He had to stop this here. Not just for Athena. Not just for all those people.

But even for his own life.

[SETH15]
The being reaches out with a palm, calmly catching the elbow, then the knee, then the kick, turning all three attacks aside with minimal effort. It smirks, pushing Kensou away as he considers the young man before him.

"I did no such thing," he rumbles. "She could have come quietly as well." He ponders for a moment. "On the other hand, I suppose Bison =would= be crude enough to simply skip straight to forcing Miss Asamiya to go with him without anything like negotiations."

The creature swings a backhanded swipe at Kensou, orange ki enveloping the hand as he lashes out at Kensou.

"So quick to judge, to denounce," he murmurs. "I care not for morality, I only seek to learn. To discover. To gain power. I have no true =ends=, young man. Only more beginnings."

[KENSOU]
It was okay for Kensou's opening attack to be defended against.

Despite his reputation of being the worst Psycho Soldier (after all, Haru won -his- matches, Kensou ended up getting shutout hard by Ken), Kensou was arguably the second most competant martial artist. Right behind Chin himself; where Athena was the master (the mistress) of the psionic arts, Kensou himself was a highly talented martial artist. As he lands, he was already moving, already reacting. The surge of chi comes from his fist, and Kensou moves to deflect it.

And Kensou realizes something is wrong.

The presence he felt, the power... that wasn't chi. That was a clear psionic presence. He knew that, felt it. It was- it was right before him. As the punch comes, it literally falls off his radar as it connects -hard- with his chest. Kensou gasps as it pierces through, knocking him staggering backwards, as the sound of snapped ribs are heard. Kensou collapses into a heap.

And he is slow to get back up.

Gasping for air, he moans as he eases on his feet. He couldn't lose his resolve. He couldn't. He wouldn't. Easing on his feet, he once again sweeps his arms, his resolve stiffening. "Geeze, listen to you! You send goons to attack young girls, and you babble on about how you just want to learn? How about a lesson for you: Don't screw with the Psycho Soldier!"

And he leaps again.

Flying through the air, contrails of blood droplets follow after him as lunges in with a flying elbow. The elbow courses with blazing psionic energy, as he hurls himself with penetrating force, aiming to tear straight into Seth with blazing strength and power. Kensou was hammering hard in the center again; once again it was direct and aggressive, designed to overwhelm the man... thing. All with a defiant shout.

"KYaaaaaa!"

[SETH15]
Seth lets out a surprised grunt as Kensou's elbow strikes true, forcing him to stagger back and assess the damage. There is a bit of charring just above that odd sphere in his midsection. He nods once.

"Adding you to the list was well worth it," Seth admits as he brings one arm up in front of his chest. Energy amasses there, and Kensou might be able to see the power collecting there, but he cannot /sense/ it for some reason. "Collecting you myself should prove a worthwhile use of this facility, even if I cannot have Miss Asamiya."

He flicks the hand at Kensou almost negligently as a screaming disc of sonic force spins towards the Psycho Warrior. "Sonic Boom!"

[KENSOU]
Kensou was hurling himself at the man, refusing to let off.

It was a dangerous situation. The entire facility was going to know where Kensou is. How could he escape, even if he tried? And yet, escape wasn't what Kensou was focused on now. He was focused on stopping this bad man. If he... if he died protecting his friends and Southtown, to make sure nobody else got on the list, it was acceptable. Well, unfavorable. But acceptable. There was no stopping him now, as he -drives- the elbow in. And as he draws in the power, collecting it? He doesn't sense it. But he -sees- it. And carrying forward, landing on both feet, he shakes his head.

"No!"

Kensou breaks into a roll. "There are no more lists! You are a bad person, and you will be stopped here!" Kensou cries out. And he -forces- around the Sonic Boom, ducking under it as he carries his momentum forward. He didn't recognize the attack; he never had a chance to fight Charlie and Guile in the King of Fighters. Energy cast over his form as he slips under Seth15's arms. He wasn't going to even give him a chance to recover, as he suddenly fires straight up at him. Launching off his palms, the martial artist fires a spiraling kick right up, aiming squarely for the ying-yang ball. "Right? Wrong?"

"Good guys never have to claim they are above morals!"

Seth bats the kick aside with an easy brush of the arms, foiling the attack completely. He has a slight frown at this.

"I would not say that I am above morals," Seth murmurs. "Nor would I say that I am beneath morals."

He hurls a sweeping roundhouse at Kensou's midsection to stagger the young man.

Seth then snaps out another kick that falls short of Kensou completely, just before several explosions of kinetic force slam into the Psycho Soldier in mutliple places.

"I have simply never seen the need for such things," he says.

[KENSOU]
Oh no.

When he bats away his agile kick, Kensou realizes his was in a bad place. A very bad place. As he drops down, he tries to fall into a tumble. The problem was, he couldn't fall any faster. Exposed, Seth15 -rips- into him with a chain of kicks, the barrage of blows tearing into him. Rolling through the air, he collides with the wall, grunting as blood comes from his mouth.

This was too much to bear.

Sitting down against the wall, the relentless assault was finally stilled. "A monster. You want to kidnap me? Athena? Momoko? Haru?! Even Bao?!" Now, Kensou is able to slow down. Desperately, he evens on his feet, swinging his arms up. Focusing hard on his inner mind's eye, he lets the energy flow through him. Dropping his arms hard, he exhales, unleashing an orb of shimmering energy.

"What are you even planning on doing?"

[SETH15]
Seth clamly reaches out and grasps the orb, crushing it in his grip. He smirks, regarding his hand for a moment. He shakes his hand loose, as if trying to regain sensation in the appendage as he slowly circles Kensou.

"I wish to see how people like you are made," he says simply. "To learn why so few people, out of so many, are born with the ability to produce and channel the energies at your command." He smirks as he continues circling, watching.

"You and your... friends," he says with another smirk, "Represent a diverse pool of test subjects."

[KENSOU]
"How we are -made?!-"

Kensou turns bright red. Certainly, he always imagined how someone like him was made. Especially with Athena, sometimes. How people like him are made isn't just a physical act, however. It was a teamwork, something he would also imagine sometimes. But a group effort, in regard to his Psycho Soldiers. Teamwork, friendship, all were part of making people like him. As the psycho ball keeps the titan away, he is given a moment to catch his breath."We have something special! A special force that people like you will never understand!"

And Kensou reaches into his shorts.

Pulling hard, he whips out a steaming meatbun. And immediately, he begins to devour it hungrily. Sucking on the juices within, the youth draws from the meaty goodness, stuffing it whole in his mouth. This was all according to... plan? Seth15 still had a chance to change his mind. "Mump uh cheese?" He says, cheeks filled with the meaty goodness. "Muafnen-"

"URK!"

"URK!"

"UUUUURK!"

Kensou turns blue, as he begins to gag.

[SETH15]
"Perhaps I was not clear," Seth murmurs, "And I tire of trying to explain things to someone incapable of understanding."

It is then, in that moment of choking on the meatbun, that Seth opts to take action. Hey. He's a villain. Cheap shots in moments of weakness are par for the course!

Seth teleports in close to Kensou, thowing a thunderous uppercut clad in chi aimed at launching the smaller man skyward. Should that succeed Seth will teleport again to meet Kensou at the apex of his flight, grab him, and turn him upside down before initiating a corkscrew spin aimed at drilling the Psycho Soldier into the floor!

[KENSOU]
"GURK!"

That was the response as Kensou, still choking, finally forces himself to swallow the meatbun. Forcing it down, he steadies his footwork... just in time for Seth to scoop him up. How did he reach him so fast- he could teleport? Kensou's mind is swimming as he is lifted up high, before he is -slammed- down into the ground, drilling him hard into the floor. There is a moan of pain, as he feels darkness around. This was it. This had to be the end. Unless.... unless...

The secret technique.

Chin had taught him the technique; it's an extension of the psycho ball attempt. Obviously, you could pour more of your soul into the attack, and make it even more powerful. If you poured -all- of your soul into it, however? Then for a moment, you would be effectively powerless. But then, if you drew your energy back, it would recharge yourself, twice as strong as ever. But only if you could bring it back. Athena... Athena couldn't use it. And the other Psycho Soldiers would put themselves at too much danger. But Kensou, for whatever reason, could separate his soul outside of himself fully, only to draw it back in. The golden energy flows over him in a spark, as he rolls out of Seth's grips. But not too far, already he was surging at Seth, forcing himself to stay inside the grips of the man. He reaches out a finger. "I.... I cannot..."

And he fires the shimmering ball of energy.

The energy would pierce through Seth15, if it connected. And with it, draw out his spiritual force in chunks, the spiritual force all around, pulling away from it to unleash the tiny core of pure power. What was more staggering? That it would return, attempting to pierce him a second time. And on the second pass, Kensou would attempt to capture the energy within him, to empower himself with the force. Kensou forces himself into a stand.

If he could catch it on the way back.

Seth, for all of his menacing evil, does something... unusual. He spins once, and executes a very sudden neck bridge, his head hitting the floor with resounding force even as that sphere in his midsection spins at a furious pace.

A veritable tornado of force erupts from the Tanden Engine, smashing through Kensou's last ditch projectile, all but erasing it completely! Seth laughs as things... devolve from there. This... cannot be good for Kensou, not even a little bit.

Oh no.

There was a reason why this technique was secret, and rarely used. And when Seth takes the strange stance, it becomes all too clear. The blast of power comes, destroying the flicker of Kensou's soul.... and that was it. That was Kensou's power, destroyed. Kensou was powerless, completely powerless. At the very least, he might cease being interesting to Seth. He might be let to live. But Kensou stares blankly, despair finally hitting him. The laughter comes, and almost desperately, Kensou reaches out to the typhoon-

And he begins to draw the energy back in.

The storm of energy, mingled with his own soul power, suddenly stabilizes as it reaches the martial artist. Seizing upon the flow of energy, the emptiness within becomes a kind of vacuum. Kensou focuses hard, letting it flow within, to empower him. Kensou, battered and bruises, draws in an invigorating breath as he spreads his stance.

And he strikes out.

Charging at Seth, the martial artist was flashing as he front-flipped forward at Seth. Unleashing a staggering drop kick, he attempts to springboard off the man's head, to launch into the air. "Don't you see!" Kensou says. "Now do you understand? The only real power is... friendship?"

Kensou sure didn't understand.

"Pointless," Seth murmurs as he whirls back to his feet, bringing himself upright even as his hand reaches up to catch Kensou's dropkick. "Your efforts are simply pointless!"

A surge of energy, psychic force laced impossibly with chi that blasts the pebbles and papers and small bits of clutter away from him in a wave or rage and malice! "FALL ALREADY!" he roars as he leaps skyward, hanging impossibly in the air for a moment before diving right at Kensou with a single leg extended!

Was it really pointless?

After all, what would happen if Kensou even won? Haru knew he was down below, but... what would happen to Haru upstairs? What would happen next? Kensou was in an impossible fight. It would be simpler to give up.

But it would be wrong.

As the blast of energy floods around, Kensou tries to twist out of the way of the rampaging Seth. Instead, he is caught hard, and Kensou is knocked to the ground, under Seth's foot. He coughs, blood and meatbun spilling from his lips. He was so weak. And yet, he looks up at that cruel creature. And he couldn't allow this. He couldn't tolerate this. "I will not... I will not fall!" Kensou declares, as he fixes his stance once again. "Not when I have my friends.... not when I have the people of Southtown to protect! Not when I have my... Athena....! Get off me!" Kensou moves in to grip the construct, and then, hurl him wildly away backwards into the wall of the room with a burst of psionic energy!

[SETH15]
Seth allows the blast of psychic energy psychic energy to wash over him, turning portions of his metallic skin partially black before regaining its silvery shine. It's the cost of doing business; in this case, getting a hand on Kensou's face.

He lifts the Justice High student up off the ground. "I told you," he says evenly as allows Kensou to dangle there for a moment. "Your efforts," he brings a single leg up. "Are USELESS!"

He brings the leg down in a bruising axe kick directly on the top of Kensou's head with enough force to bounce the smaller man off of the floor!

[KENSOU]
For all the spirit, it is never enough.

Kensou's finally attack is caught in midstrike. In a flash, he is grabbed by his face. In a flicker, he takes a massive blow to his chest, shattering his ribcage. THe teenager moans in pain as he is sent skipping on the floor. Almost immediately, he springs back up.

It's not natural, for him to spring back.

It becomes more clear as Kensou flings himself back at Seth15. He begins with a wild chain of fist, his blows coming in a hammering frenzy. But it is isn't possible, it couldn't be possible, for such an attack. It becomes more clear, as he sighs, trying to barrage at Seth. "It is... it is not.... " Kensou flailing slow down. "It is not.." His wild blows go wider and wider, until finally, finally, he collapses on his knees. He draws back a fist. "I won't... let you..."

"...Hurt her..."

COMBATSYS: Kensou can no longer fight.

[SETH15]
Seth's hand snakes out impossibly long, too long for any normal person. It's also been established that Seth15 is not anything approaching normal. The hand catches Kensou by the head, again, and the monster pivots and hurls Kensou into a wall. He waits just long enough for the young man to hit the floor before planting a foot on Kensou's chest to pin him in place.

"Security," he announces, summoning several men armed with rifles and clubs. "Get a transport crew ready. I'll be bringing a guest along with us to headquarters. And bring me whoever is in charge of your section. He and I will have words about allowing someone to get this far into the lab without raising an alarm."

People immediately move to follow Seth's orders.

Kensou is about to have a series of Really Bad Days.

COMBATSYS: Seth15 has ended the fight here.
