Springtide Rosalia 2021 - Rosalia #3) Welcoming Party

[Toggle Names]

Description: Rachel in a letter to Zeta: "Zeta... if you don't mind my calling you by such a familiar name, I find myself wondering where something like you truly belongs. Not human or darkstalker, it seems your fate to walk between, belonging to the society of neither. There are some among my kind that might take interest in your plight. But first, they wish to calibrate your current strength. It is never easy to tell with human-made constructs, the outcomes are always so unpredictable... I have found an opponent suitable for you to challenge. But beware, the dredges of Argul will be eager to join in the fun. It's been so long since anyone has walked their halls. Good luck. -Rachel Alucard



[KEN MASTERS]
So these are the Dungeons of Agrul the Apostle.

Leave it to Ken Masters to not exactly stick to the tour that he was on. Okay, let's be honest, it's not like he was actually on a tour. Somebody like Ken doesn't come to the Castle Alucard and not snoop around. A few turns and corridors and stairways and boom, Ken finds himself in the Dungeons of Agrul the Apostle. And he's certainly not dressed for any kind of dungeon crawling but he's wearing an expensive enough suit that he can at least look kind of stylish while stepping through this darkness and cobwebs and whatever the hell else is down here.

"Remind me to get these people an interior decorator." That would be Ken talking to himself because there's not supposed to be anyone else down here.

[ZETA]
Nobody else is supposed to be down here?

That depends who you ask! Zeta has an invitation, and this invitation has very clear instructions: go down in the dungeons, near the dredges of Agrul. Or Argul. Zeta was having a little trouble reading that; fancy handwriting and calligraphy doesn't agree with her. And there, she would find an opponent suitable for her to challenge.

And that's what there's a Gear down here when Ken is expecting nobody. Not that you'd know she's a Gear by looking at her; though she's not dressed for a fancy party - she has a green coat held closed only at her throat by a cloak-like clasp, a black cut-off top, cargo pants - she does look mostly human. Aside from the horns. And the slightly weird eyes, if you get that close.

Also, she's got broken shackles on her wrists and ankles, and her right arm looks like it's made of metal - not a normal prosthetic, but like a hand dipped in metal with a cage-like structure up past her wrist. Or the shackles aren't quite broken; the cuffs are intact, only the chains have been broken off, except for the last link or so. Either way, it looks like prison chic.

She also has absolutely no sense of manners when she literally drops in behind Ken, having been up at the ceiling. "HEY," she says, loudly. Nearly, but not quite, a shout. "Are you the fighter?"

She doesn't seem to recognize Ken. So much for fame.

[KEN MASTERS]
Leave it to Masters, Ken Masters (he's totally James Bonding right now) to get dropped on by some weirdo with a weird hand thing. He'd normally be paying attention to his surroundings but he's in a freaking dungeon! What are the chances of someone leaping down at him from above?! That is his fault though. He never looked up.

Ken's movements are very fast and that of a fighter as he spins around and is immediately in a fighting stance. Bouncing on the heels of his expensive shoes and everything. His hands clenched into fists and held at the ready. He doesn't attack or anything but he looks like he's ready to spring into fighting action.

"Uh. I mean, if you're asking if I'm the greatest US Martial Arts Champion in History Ken Masters?" Ken grins a bit and lowers his guard just because he's pretty sure this is a new fan in the making. "Yes. Yes, I am."

Ken does the upnod thing because he's hip like that. "Nice horns." He may be teasing. He may also be serious. It's hard to tell with Ken sometimes.

[ZETA]
Zeta gives Ken the once-over after she's landed. His reactions are good at least. And with what he claims, if it's true...

"Good!" Zeta thumps her chest. "Then you will fight me. I was promised a suitable opponent and if you can fight, then you will do! I haven't had a good one in too long." She takes a step back to not crowd Ken, but then raises her actual flesh-and-bone (presumably) hand, balling it into a fist.

She tries to look up, at her own horns. It doesn't work, as they are out of her field of vision. Her response is a noncommital 'eh'. It's just part of her skull, to her. It's not like they come off.

[KEN MASTERS]
Suitable opponent? Wait, what?

"Suitable opponent? Wait, what?" Ken blinks but slides a foot backward a bit more because this could potentially be a fight. "I mean, I just came here for the ambiance but if you want to get your ass kicked by the Legendary Ken Masters?"

Ken snatches off his suit jacket and tosses it off in the direction of a random skeleton and eases back into his fighting stance because that's what street fighters do.

"Bring it on! I'm ready for ya'!"

Cue the Ken Masters Come On Taunt.

[ZETA]
"Great!"

Zeta seems authentically excited when Ken offers to kick her ass. Either she's weird or she doesn't think he can do it. Or maybe both, it's not exactly an either-or question. Her grin widens, revealing slightly pointed teeth.

Then she lunges into action. No finesse here; Zeta reaches out, tries to grab Ken by the collar or the arm, and...

...Zeta isn't exactly huge. She's not short by any means, but she is hardly a musclebound hulk. Ken has, to all appearances, a fair bit of mass on her. Despite this, if she grabs him she simply tosses him into the air, one-handed, to slam against the ceiling ten feet up.

And hey, did that skeleton that had the coat tossed on it move a little? It's hard to tell, given it has a coat on it now obscuring it.

[KEN MASTERS]
Leave it to Cocky Ken to think he's got this in the bag. Then again, he thinks he has every fight in the bag. Except for the ones with Ryu. Those are always something else. They mean more. But these random exhibitions are definitely cakewalks.

Or they should be.

"Are you sure you want this? Like I said. US Martial Arts Chaaaaaammm-!"

Ken's snatched up and tossed Skybound to the point where he ends up smashing into the ceiling with a grunt! Both debris from the dungeon and Ken Masters drop back down to the ground, something in Ken's chest cracking after the impact.

"... Okay, you're sure." Ken groans before pushing himself up to his feet.

Ken's movements are quick as he lunges for Zeta, reaching out to grab her by the shoulders and brings his knee in towards her for a quick bashing!

[ZETA]
"Of course!" Zeta doesn't immediately take advantage of Ken's launch and landing, actually giving him a moment to stand up - whether that's because she believes in fair play or just because she wants to talk is unclear. "I'm Zeta. And it's been so long since I've gotten to fight! So come on!!"

When Ken lunges in for his own grab, Zeta twists in a way that's supposed to break the grab by sheer strength - but he's already lifted her off the ground to drive his knee into her more effectively. And Zeta might be inhumanly strong, but a lot of it isn't of much use without any leverage.

It's only when she gets her feet back under her that she pushes back, right into the path of a lumbering skeleton - not the one with Ken's jacket, either. It seems to be trying to lunge at her like a zombie, but she catches it with her shoulder and drives it to the ground, deflecting the blow.

"Ha? Where did YOU come from?" Momentarily torn between going after the skeleton and going after Ken, Zeta settles on Ken; she drives her fist forward, following it up with a powerful hammerblow as she laces her flesh fingers through the metal ones. The metal appears to move, if a little stiffly. "Well, whatever! I'll fight all of you at once!"

[KEN MASTERS]
Ken is in the middle of brushing some of the dirt off his clothes after stepping back from dealing a knee into Zeta when he catches sight of a skeleton headed in his direction. "Whoa!" Ken steps back and spins out of the way because he's not about to deal with those on top of everything else. And by everything else, we're definitely just talking about Zeta.

"Uh. I didn't do it!" Ken recognizes that the skeletons are coming at both of them so he's willing to just not blame Zeta for this. And he certainly doesn't have the power to summon skeletons so. Although, it would be cool on Halloween. Mel would flip. Anyway!

Ken looks back in Zeta's direction just in time to see her moving at him with another attack! Zeta's fist comes towards him and he reaches out with his hands to stop it! That hammerblow comes next and it takes all Ken's speed to bring his arms up for the block. He winces in pain as the flesh and metal combo shove him back a bit. "Don't worry, Z. I got your back." Ken grins because he's more than willing to fight skeletons /with/ Zeta while also /fighting/ Zeta.

He's done worse.

Ken rolls on his heels to plant himself in Zeta's personal space, reaching out to grab her as he turns in towards her! If he can get her up, he can flip her over his shoulder for some slick shoulder throw action! Maybe even in the direction of Skeleton Hordes! Who knows!

[ZETA]
As far as Zeta knows, she can't summon skeletons either. Then again, she is pretty sure she can do some things that she doesn't know how to do... which would make it harder for her to judge, except for the part where she doesn't actually want to be attacked by them.

Stupid skeletons.

"Stupid skeletons!" Zeta is delayed on her follow-through to the hammerblow when one of them lurches in front of her. She slaps it hard on the wrist, deflecting an attempted punch past her, then picks the entire skeleton up and throws it. Well, that's one way to get rid of it, even if it probably wasn't the best one. Unfortunately, there are more skeletons.

Especially not with Ken right there. He gets his hands on her again, and tosses her over the shoulder - but she rolls in the air, getting her feet under her instead of hitting the wall. Not all the dungeon is close quarters - the main hall has a lot of space in it - but in the underhangs, there's a lot of walls and crypts and who knows what else.

Zeta springs from where Ken threw her, jumping vertically off the wall, somersaulting forward and coming down in a two-footed stomp to crash into him like she was from Outworld or something! "Ha!"

"Talk about having a bone to pick, right?"

Ken's punning in Zeta's general direction as a couple of bony fists are sent in his direction. He bobs and weaves past them, spinning out of the way to get himself a little space. He just needs to keep away from these things because he doesn't need bone shavings getting on his clothes. Or worse, in his hair. Ew.

Ken turns to catch sight of Zeta flipping and somersaulting off the wall in such a stylish fashion. "Nice." whispers Ken with an impressed nod but then he realizes that she's headed for him! Not good! Not good! Abort!

Ken takes a step back and raises a hand to shove away the twin-footed stomp aimed for his person! His movement doesn't stop, though, as he leaps upward immediately, spins and aims a flaming kick in Zeta's direction! Time for a little fire chi!

[ZETA]
Just shoving at Zeta on her descent isn't enough to stop her. It slows her down for a moment as she hits an upraised arm rather than the body she was expecting, but she bounces off the foot and simply tries it again, almost straight vertical.

That is a mistake.

As Zeta descends this time, she sees Ken rising up to meet her, and he's got fire on his side. The spinning, flaming kick strikes her out of the air and sends her horizontally; she goes through two skeletons, shattering them into pieces, and into a third that is holding an ancient-looking sword.

It draws blood, but Zeta barely feels it. She's hurting but not letting it show; her expression is pure excitement. "That's it! Give me more of that!!" She raises her metal-covered arm, which is now moving more smoothly than before. Little glimmers of light leak from the seams as she drives it forward in a punch despite the distance, sending a rippling wave of distorted air in a shockwave from her blow.

[KEN MASTERS]
"They got swords now?!"

Ken's not really in the business of fighting skeletons and he definitely doesn't want to fight skeletons that have weapons. There's just too much going on for him at the moment and when he bends out of the way to try and make sure he doesn't get sliced or diced by Rusty Blades, his shirt gets clipped by a couple of those blades and that's just bad for business.

"Ugh, Eliza just bought me this shirt too. Man..."

Ken looks back up in time to see Zeta's fist creating concussive waves of doom headed in his direction and he does the only thing he can think of to do in this moment. He plants those palms together and thrusts them in Zeta's direction to send that infamous chi fireball in her direction!

"HADOUKEN!"

Granted, the Air Bullet's concussive force is incredible and sends Ken sailing backwards and crashing into the far wall, with another crunch. Ken drops from the impact and ends up sprawled on the ground for a moment. Ugh.

[ZETA]
The shockwave of air pulses apart the Hadouken. Wisps of energy get to Zeta, but they're diffuse enough that she can push through them without much harm.

"Aah, that feels great! I can feel the energy building up - it's burning inside... let's turn it up a notch!" Her grin gets a little crazed as she draws on more chi.

And more.

And more, a glow that's starting to become visible around her - and that's when it happens.

Zeta's shackles explode off of her, one after another - simply shattering into sparkles with loud metallic cracks. Her metal-coated arm is the next to go, the metal plates straining and then bursting off her, leaving a glowing arm of pure chi energy. Her hair, too, transmutes into chi, streaming behind her like silver flames, matched by darker plumes that erupt from her back like still wings.

"SHOW ME EVERYTHING! I gotta see it!" Zeta charges, trailing wisps of chi behind her. A skeleton manages to bite her leg as she passes; she kicks, the whirling chi around her shredding it and preventing it from holding on.

Zeta drives her fist (the physical, non-energy one) directly at Ken's stomach. If she connects, a light builds up around the impact point and then *explodes*, launching the two of them away from each other. Energy - magic, chi, or both - continues to swirl around her like a tempest, picking up small bits of debris and whirling them around in the storm.

[KEN MASTERS]
"Oh, we're biting now? Really? Is that what we're doing?"

Ken's quip comes as he rolls away from the gnashing teeth of skeletons and he gets back up to his feet. His back is turned toward Zeta so he can wag a finger of chastisement in the Skeleton Horde's direction. "You stop that. Right now." This works on Mel. It should work on supernatural skeletons of doom and destruction.

This is about the same time that Ken realizes there's some serious energy flowing behind him. He turns his head slowly, peering over his shoulder just in time to see Zeta powering up in a very impressive fashion. His eyes go wider every time shackles break and something else on her glows. So much so that he doesn't even know that he's turning fully around to witness this hyper madness happen.

"Holy sh--"

There's not even enough time for him to get his cuss word out because Zeta's Arrival is swifter than he was prepared for. Ken's hands are up and out, folded in a manner to block that fist but the strength behind such a punch just powers through his palms. Ken has time to look down at the point of impact and that's when that light gathers up and explodes with incredible force!

Ken goes up and backwards, sailing end over end to smash into the far wall. Again. He keeps smacking into this thing and dropping down to the ground below. It's becoming comical.

When Ken pushes up to his feet this time, though, what's left of his shirt either clings to his body in small slivers or falls to the ground at his feet. "Alright, then! You asked for it!"

Ken reaches up to wipe the blood from his mouth before leaping in toward Zeta with a stylish jump kick, aiming to spring back off her with his other foot to land back on the ground. "Here I come!" It's like a warning given as Ken rushes for Zeta again, this time gathering up the flaming chi around his leg as he aims to sweep her up into a powerful aerial assault of FLAMING HURRICANE KICKING!

Should the style gods be in Ken's favor, he may even get to finish this move off with a final prolonged kick straight into Zeta's face. Y'know, for the insult-to-injury bonus burn.

[ZETA]
Zeta hasn't felt this *alive* since she left the lab. No shackles, no restraints, nothing between her and all her power. Is this what she's supposed to be like? Because...

"This feels great!! No matter what - it's a good fight!"

When Ken comes for her, Zeta is ready. Or she thinks she's ready. Even unshackled, he outspeeds her; she brings her arms up, chi-blazing and ordinary both, to start to block the kicks.

And she does! She blocks a couple strikes as Ken whirls in place - but then it happens. The glow in her hair dies a bit, and her hair is just hair again. And then, with a cl-CHUNK, one of the shackles reforms on her ankle. "No! Already?"

Once one appears, the other three aren't far behind. The metal plates covering her arm are the last as her chi aura sputters and dies; there's a reason she wears those restraints most of the time. And suddenly bereft of energy, she cannot defend herself from Ken nearly as well as before.

The last kick sends her flying, his foot to his face - but before she goes, she slams the ground, discharging the last of her chi there. An eruption blasts out, slightly angled, from a crackling line on the ground; a fissure that vents magical energy up and out before it too sputters and dies, leaving Zeta - and the catacombs - quiet again.

Well, not entirely silent. She's still alive, judging by that groaning sound. Unless there are zombies too.

[KEN MASTERS]
Ken lands from his Kicking Assault of Flaming Doom and manages to toss his hair from in front of his face. "Too hot for ya'?" is tossed in Zeta's direction as one of his Ken's many quips but he's also looking over in her direction to make sure that there's no lasting harm or anything. He loves to fight but doesn't want to hurt anyone too much. Especially new potential fight friends!

"Z?" Ken hears the groaning sound and relaxes a bit... just in time to see the Skeleton's headed in his direction with random weapons of all kinds of violence.

Ken backpedals out of the way, which also pulls him out of the way of that enormous chi geyser of potential death, leaving those Skeletons to get taken out by such impressive explosive energy.

"Uh. Time to go, Z!" Ken can see a lot more Skeletons headed in their direction and isn't exactly in the business of wanting to fight off an endless horde of them. So he takes off in the direction of Zeta, leaping over bony sword swipes or dagger stabs, before reaching down to scoop up Zeta and toss her onto his shoulder for running and exiting purposes!

"Crap!" Ken runs back and reaches to snatch his jacket before turning for more fleeing action!

COMBATSYS: Ken Masters runs a hand through his hair and thumbs up! Yeah!
