"The Concert Default Is Disconnected"

[deg]

Katsumi and his friends were arriving at the monument in the center of Edge. The stepped on stage and set up. It didn't take them long to set up, but Katsumi had a bad feeling in his gut. He ignored it though. The band was about to play their first song, "The Concert Default Is Disconnected", but Katsumi stopped them for a second. They didn't do anything, but take a quick breather. Katsumi then began to speak.
Dekiagari?
The crowd cheered in response.
Ranchi!
The band began playing their techno/pop song. Yet within seconds, they stopped. Everyone ran away from the monument as the saw a figure atop that for some reason scared them. Katsumi looked up as the rest left the monument to find shelter.

((Ooc- Can I join? Or are you waiting for someone else?)

[deg]

[OOC: You can join, I'm not waiting for someone in particular.]

[onyveth]

((Ooc- Thankies ^^))


Onyveth stood with her back against the the wall in the corner of a street, strumming her black-varnished guitar and preformed the first song that randomly popped into her head. With the case open and laid out in front of her, it was clearly obvious she expected some sort of charity from any passerby.

[glow=purple,2,300]"Itsuka hikari ni mukau sakasama no chou
Kimi to kami o kiru kagami no naka..."[/glow]

It wasn't long until she noticed she wasn't gaining any attention... at least, a little less than usual. For some reason, a large crowd gathered at the Meteorfall Memorial. Curious, she packed up her guitar into its case, collecting a few hard earned gil in the process.

[glow=purple,2,300]"Hey! What's all the commotion about?"[/glow] Onyveth asked an excited passerby. She seemed to be in such a hype.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Didn't you hear? Jibun Kakumei's gonna have a concert!"[/glow]
[glow=purple,2,300]"Who?"[/glow] Onyveth gave a quizical tilt of her head, but before she could get a response, the girl disappeared into the sea of faces that gathered at the monument. She shrugged, having decided to go join the crowd and see why exactly people were so hyped.

'These are the guys who stole my spotlight? They're not that great...' she thought bitterly to herself, pretending as though the music was very entertaining. But before long, the people started to get scared. Onyveth looked around to see what was happening, and realized there was someone, or something up on the rooftops. It was man with a dark complexion, and he seemed to have an immensely large cannon-like gun with him and aimed right at the concert stage.

[glow=purple,2,300]"What the-- oh, come on! I've had one too many scene-stealers for one day!"[/glow] Out of instinct, she unsheathed her rattan sticks and readied herself. 'Just who was this creep?' she thought to herlsef...

[deg]

As the man fired his large cannon-like gun, Katsumi jumped back from the large bullet-like ammunition. Katsumi landed on the ground left from the stage. He looked up at his new opponent then jumped back to the other that had appeared.
Dare gozen maro?
He waited for a reply from the other with an instrument. He didn't get a response, so he changed his language, hoping the other would understand.
I said, who are you?
Katsumi pulled out his sledgehammer as he waited for a reply from the other.

[onyveth]

Onyveth dropped her guitar-case on the ground and readied herself, spinning her weapons in between her fingers. Before long, one of the men performing jumped off the stage, down at the level where she was. He had sky-blue hair (which she assumed wasn't his natural hair color) and a white outfit. She gave a quizicall tilt of her head when he had asked her something, but she didn't understand what he had said... 'tis the downside of not being so fluent of a foreign language.

[glow=purple,2,300]"Oh... atashi wa Oniivesu!"[/glow] she replied, simply translating to: I'm Onyveth. with a sort of smart aleck grin.

A loud gunshot averted her attention and looked back at the stranger on the rooftops. [glow=purple,2,300]"... I don't think he's a fan of your music..."[/glow] she said sarcastically, as if trying to lighten the situation. She analyzed their apparent enemy and noticed he was about to take another shot... at the blue haired man.
[glow=purple,2,300]"MOVE!"[/glow] she yelled

[deg]

Katsumi jumped into the air, dodging the shot by mere centimeters. the explosion was large, but Katsumi was quick enough to dodge it without being injured. He noticed the other made it out safely. Not much later, Katsumi landed on the ground, standing straight up with out a scratch.
Nice try.
Katsumi brushed himself off, looking up at the stranger on the monument. As Katsumi put his hand down, he noticed something strange about the stranger. He couldn't quite tell what it was though.

[onyveth]

Onyveth was glad the other avoided being shot at by the maniac standing on the rooftops. She ran in the other direction, avoiding the falling debris caused by the explosion. She looked up once again, and the stranger was still there. From this position, she could see him a bit more clearly - he was clothed in black, with a white bandana concealing the lower portion of his face, making recognition nearly impossible. He had dirty-blonde hair, which was a fact Onyveth hadn't noticed until now, but still - she had never seen him before.

He threw down his cannon-like gun out of annoyance when he ran out of ammunition and picked up another deadly weapon: a katana. He jumped down the building and slid down a pipeline that clung on the exterior of the building, and landed safely on the ground. He locked his sights on Jibun Kakumei's frontman and charged at him with sword in hand. It appeared the stranger wasn't going to stop until he was dead... but for what reason Onyveth thought.

Weird..

[deg]

As the man came closer to Katsumi, he prepared to attack. The man didn't take long to reach Katsumi, and swung. Katsumi dodged the attack, spinning out of the way, then swung at the back of the cloaked man's head. It laid a direct hit, sending the man a few feet away. But, for some reason, the man had no mark on his head, not even a scratch to show he'd been hit.
Katsumi was confused, but didn't seem to bother. He jumped back to see if Onyveth was alright. Since the both seemed OK, Katsumi came up with an idea.
Why don't we attack form both sides, crushing his body. Think that's a good idea?
Katsumi waited for a reply.

[onyveth]

Onyveth cringed from watching the two men fight... the one with the the sledgehammer seemed as though he dealt heavy damage with that blow... but the other didn't seem to be affected with the hit! Just who was this guy exactly?!

The dirty-blonde haired male was sent flying a few feet back, but sooner got back on his feet, keeping an eye on his target. As a matter of fact, it seemed as though he wasn't even aware of Onyveth's presence... either that or he just didn't care. Only that he was focused on his target...

[glow=purple,2,300]"Okay then... let's do it your way..."[/glow] she said, giving an approving nod at the new strategy. As long they were able to get rid of this creep... with her rattan sticks in hand, she ran towards the enemy to strike at at him on the left side, waiting for the other to attack from the opposite side...

[deg]

Katsumi ran to the enemy's right as Onyveth ran to his left. Onyveth went right into the attack as Katsumi waited for a moment. Katsumi nodded to himself as he jumped towards the enemy. As he swung at him, so did Onyveth. Their attacks hit him simultaneously, creating a cloud of smoke around them.
When the smoke finally cleared, Katsumi noticed something strange. It was that the enemy was standing as still as a statue, seeming to not be scared by the attack. Katsumi turned around to look at the stranger, noticing he was slowly falling down. Katsumi dropped his sledgehammer as he fell with the enemy. It seemed as though they were linked, since Katsumi wasn't hit by anything during the strike.
What the hell?
Katsumi was on his knees as the enemy faded into the Lifestream. His pain grew, but he resisted fading away. Katsumi needed help.

[onyveth]

Expecting some sort of scream or a yelp of pain at least from their opponent, Onyveth dropped her weapons out of disbelief... she couldn't believe what she was seeing. The man... he was returning to the Planet! She could've sworn as the enemy fell Onyveth saw some sort of smirk on his face, as if he expected this to happen... he dissipated into what she assumed to be called "spirit energy" before fading away completely.

[glow=purple,2,300]"What the...? H-hey! You okay?"[/glow] She didn't understand why her ally was suddenly on his knees nor to why he was hurting. But then, things quickly began to make a little sense; because the other was returning to the Lifestream, he was trying to bring the blue-haired man's physical body with him!!

[glow=purple,2,300]"Get outta there!"[/glow] she yelled. Being a seventeen year old girl attempting to hurl over a twenty-something year old guy wasn't easy... but with all her might she grabbed her ally by his white coat and pulled him out of harms way.

[glow=purple,2,300]"Don't you famous people have bodyguards for this sorta thing?"[/glow] she panted, slightly annoyed with the day she was apparently having.

[deg]

Katsumi couldn't hear the plea of Onyveth as he faded. His physical body was slowly being pulled out of the world and returning to the planet. Then out of no where, the feeling stopped.
As if for a mere second, Katsumi could hear a voice talking to him, but one he'd never heard before. Katsumi flew back but a few feet as a force of energy blasted out form him, pushing Onyveth back a bit. Katsumi stared at the sky as he tried to move, but was paralyzed for a few seconds. When he regained feeling, he jumped to his feet.
Damn that hurt.
He began brushing himself off as if nothing happened. He looked over at Onyveth and noticed she had an injury on her side. He quickly ran over to her.
You alright?
Katsumi waited for a hopeful "yes".

[onyveth]

Onyveth winced a little as she laid face down on the ground. She heard footsteps rush over to her side and found it was the blue-haired man. A sharp stinging pain hit her as she tried to get up. She clutched her left side... possibly just a bruise she got while trying to pull him out, she thought.

[glow=purple,2,300]"I'm fine..."[/glow] she lied, as she slowly got up this time. [glow=purple,2,300]"Don't worry about me."[/glow] As Onyveth looked around, she picked up her weapons and found that their adversary was truly gone. How strange... why did he wanted to kill the other man? Had did he want from him?

[glow=purple,2,300]"Are your concerts always this dangerous?"[/glow] she smirked as she claimed back her guitar case and hurled it over her shoulder. [glow=purple,2,300]"I never got your name, Mister..er...?"[/glow]
She knew it must've been a weird thing to ask... she knew he was the member of some famous band that was probably famous all over Edge, but... she truly didn't know his name! Did it hurt to ask?

[deg]

Katsumi was relieved to find Onyveth was at least unharmed. He looked down and smiled before he replied.
Name's Katsumi, Katsu for short, and none of my shows have been like that.
Katsumi looked around, hoping to find his band mates, no one was in site though. He just hoped that they were alright.
So, where are you headed to?
Katsumi waited for a reply.
