The Past Brought Present(Open)

[cadeyrncassidy]

It had been a fun battle, a group of gijinka that proclaimed themselves freedom fighters while attempting to bully a shop owner and take their money for protection. What more shameful act was there than to use such an honest guise for such a corrupt purpose. It was a disgrace, and one that Cade had not let continue, granted he was currently banged up himself, but his opponents were worse off! So here he was in the forest, with a bottle of the finest liquor. The store owner seemed quite elated when all Cade asked for was a bottle of alcohol.

Of course, he gotten more than just one from the man, but who was he to complain about such a thing? Of course, that had been around the afternoon, the moon was now up, and there were at least five empty bottles around the man. One thing was sure, the bastard could hold his liquor, given the fact that he was still conscious from that.

However, he seemed to be glaring up at the moon, an oddity from anyone. Why was he staring at the moon? That was a question for the ages.

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] It was a rather boring day for him in terms of having fun as Shu was just keeping an eye on known gijinka that interested his ‘employers’ Of course, those that he had been watching were a bunch of idiots that had gotten themselves taken down by this other guy, so Shu figured that observing him would be more rewarding than following a bunch of punks nursing their wounds. Unfortunately, he had been mistaken as the guy just sat around and drank, which would not be something that he would want to tell his ‘superiors’ He needed to get a little closer and talk to the guy, so that he could have something of use to report to them. Naturally, he was going to do this in such a way that he didn’t get the crap beat out of him or something, which usually means that he will end up in a fight of some sort. It seemed like that most of his days ended in a fight, and since they were at the end of the day already it was probably time to fulfill that tradition. Shu casually walked over to the guy and sat down across from him, and then he cracked his knuckles for some reason. “So what are you looking at?”

[cadeyrncassidy]

That moon was just starting to annoy the hell out of him right now, trying to look at him like that. "Th' 'ell's yer problem moon?!" he yelled at it, shaking his fist at it. Of course, he was drunk as hell right now, so any sort of warnings about what he was going to do were drowned in the alcohol and watching the scene with laughter. Taking the spear from his back, he took aim at the moon, the fact to be precise. Reeling back his arm, he hurled the spear with all his might through the air, as it flew high into the sky. It even managed to disappear from visible view from the force of his throw.

Then from nearby, there was a voice, asking him what he was looking at, and he assumed it was the moon. "I shou' 'sk YOU that question, ya jerk!" his attention still being focused on the moon, and not on the person near him at all. He heard the cracking of knuckles and cracked his own, motioning towards the moon. "Br'ng it ya git, I'll wallop yer ass good, I will!" a hiccup escaping him, and the best part, he was only a bit passed buzzed on the drunkness chart. Yes, laies and gents' it can only get worse from here, should he get even more alcohol.

He didn't even bother to put on his helmet or pick up his shield, he had his chainmail underneath his clothes, that was enough for him. He'd take on the moon and any other little punk in space that wanted a piece of him.

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] From Shu’s perspective, the guy was obviously too far gone into his stupor to be of any real use, so he was about to leave when the guy did something truly bizarre. In the time that he had been doing work for Team Rocket, he had never met a guy who got so drunk that they tried to pick a fight with something that they couldn’t actually fight, but this guy tried to attack the very sky with such vigor that it disappeared from sight. Of course, Shu took the necessary precautions for such an act like moving closer to a tree, so that it was more likely to get stuck on it or make some noise before it got close to him. Once the guy started responding to his question in a weird manner, Shu figured something should be done to make sure that the situation didn’t get any weirder. His eyes took on a complete dark tint as he pointed his finger at the guy’s bottled, and as if he were shooting a gun Shu used Night Shade as an attempt to destroy the man’s drink. Obviously, this plan might lead to a greater conflict, but at least then he would be able to report exactly what the man was capable of when he didn’t have his wits about him. He just hoped that something didn’t happen that left him permanently damaged because that would be very bad for him, and Shu didn’t like things that were bad for him.

[cadeyrncassidy]

Wait...that spear that just went flying into the sky at the moon, was that?...Well, damn, that was gonna be a pain in the ass now. He'd have to find a way to the moon and get it back! Damn bastard was probably laughing even with the thing embedded into his face, well that was fine! He would go up there and rearrange that thing's face later. He was about to take another swig of booze when the bottle exploded, "You sshunnoffabith! Tha' wasshh my prish for beatin' shume punks shenshless!"

A green energy formed in his hands as he fired a signal beam at the moon. It wanted to play like that, he could shoot back at it just fine! "Yush, shtill wanna go, asshhole!?" he continued to shout at the moon, being drunk made one less aware to other people. Who the hell did the moon think he was blasting a perfectly good bottle of booze. That was just all sorts of uncalled for, and was just downright an asshole move!

"Jus' you wait! I'll find a rocker shrip and come up there to kick your ash!" he pointed at the moon, it wouldn't get away with the heinous crime of insulting booze! That was the one absolutely unforgivable thing one could do!

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] It was official. The guy was completely out of it as he was trying to blow up the moon, which wouldn’t work because this wasn’t some kid’s television show where people could do that. Of course, this put Shu in the perfect position to test out his own abilities on someone that could apparently take a hit, which meant that he was going to do it in a fun way. The guy was obviously distracted by what he was doing to notice the existence of another person who could post a real threat. Now there were two ways of going about this that would put Shu ahead in the fight, but he was going to go with the way that put him ahead in the fight and give him a pleasant feeling. “Why don’t you come up here and say that you poor excuse for a monkey? Come up here, and I might give you that toothpick back.” He sort of bellowed this as loud as he could in order to make it echo through the area, which would make it more believable that it was the moon. Shu waited a moment before sliding to the right and lashing out with his right foot. His goal was to knock the guy on his ass, but he would settle for him doing something incredibly stupid. For some reason, he found this all to be more like a training exercise for himself instead of a normal fight. “Guess there must be liquor emanating from the guy’s sweat glands. Only explanation for why I am being so careless.”

[cadeyrncassidy]

While he might've been drunk, he wasn't stupid, which might seem hard to pull off, but it was possible! Clearly, the moon wouldn't just have a voice that echoed through a forest, it would have a high-pitched voice that rumbled the earth with vibrations. Why high-pitched you ask, cause the moon was a chicken shit, trying to hide from the universe under mother earth's skirt! Being drunk also did not lessen him as a warrior, in fact being raised with viking and knight upbringing, it might be an advantage!

The movement was not unheard, and he brought up his arms in front of him, blocking the kick. He unleashed a Thunder Wave from his body, sending it in the direction of the attacker. Of course, having to surge electricity through his body began to sober him a bit. Glancing at the little person beside him, "Can I help you?" His slurr was gone now, and it seemed that he was much more aware of just what was going on. Especially with the less than happy expression that was spread across his features.

"Tch, why is a little runt like you interrupting my drinkin' time, eh?" was it all a lure, or was this man really such a being of chaos that he could switch like that. Who knew and only time would be able to tell, right now, he was focused on the person that had tried to attack him.

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] Like he has previously said, there was probably liquor in the air, which is why he probably should have done an attack that didn’t involve him getting so close to the guy. Next time, Shu would try something other than Faint Attack as that one got him blasted by something that made him feel all tingling inside. Also, it seemed really hard to move the majority of his body, which probably wasn’t a good thing given the current situation. “Well if you wanted, then you could do something to help me with this weird feeling that I am having from that spark that you did. Otherwise, probably not,” Shu said to the guy that he had almost popped upside the head a minute ago. He wondered if drinking a Full Heal would help him out with this current predicament, but he had the feeling that it wouldn’t taste very good if stung Pokémon when it was sprayed on. Then the guy asked a second question that seemed like something that Shu shouldn’t answer honestly, but then again he probably wouldn’t answer it truthfully anyway. Of course, which lie should he use in order to convince the guy that he wasn’t ‘bad’? “I just so happened to see your little dance with those guys earlier, so I figured that I would see what kind of person gets involved in something like forced on protection service.”

[cadeyrncassidy]

Shaking his arms, he still had a mark from where the attack had landed, thankfully, he put an end to the attacks for now. Watching the other sit on the ground, he didn't feel any remorse for his actions. When the person asked for help, he snorted, "You attack me and then ask for help, a bold one, aren't you?" To think, his attacker now wanted him to put an end to the effects he was under. Cade had no reason to do such at the moment, in fact, he crossed his arms in front of his chest. Showing, that he was not the type to extend mercy without good reason.

When the comment came about what kind of person would involve themselves in the situation he had, he answered simply, "This kind of person." That was all he needed to state, and there was no reason for him to say more than that. "Now, why do you want to know?" his eyes were level, there was no anger, but his presence alone suggested he wasn't one to take lightly.

"You should also ask yourself, what not to do to piss off the guy with an arsenal of weapons," he said, pointing towards the sword, hammer, axe, and other various weapons. Now, he just needed to wait for answers to his questions, and he would decide what to do after that.

[shuichi]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,350,true]

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] This guy was a little more thick-headed than Shu had previously guessed, so there was only one thing that he could do. He would have to be a craftier with his lies in order to get the guy’s assistance with this whole Thunder Wave problem, and then he could trick the guy into fighting him straight up or something instead of how he was currently doing it. As it stood, the guy had more weapons than he had brain cells, which was never a good combination for any creature to have. “To be fair, you threw a spear up into the sky to attack the moon. Obviously, I had to consider you a danger to every creature within a twenty yard radius, which meant that I had to knock you out of your stupor.” That sounded like a legitimate reason to hit someone upside the face, but the guy didn’t seem to be one of the sharpest tools in the toolbox. Of course, the guy asked him why he wanted to know, which was something that would normally be expected in this type of situation. “Well, I don’t normally see people act in such a way, so it made me want to know what kind of person acts in such a way.” Yet again, Shu found this to a logical response to the question, but then again his form of logic said that punching a dragon Pokémon in the face was valid. Then the guy made Shu aware of the fact that he was packing some seriously weird fire power, and Shu could only think of one thing to say in response. “Well maybe you should ask yourself how irresponsible it is to get drunk when your first impulse is to start slinging weapons around like they are toys. Someone could get seriously hurt!”

[cadeyrncassidy]

Crossing his arms, he raised an eyebrow, "Except that the way I threw it, coming down the speed would create a whistling sound. If people aren't smart enough to move out of the way, not my fault. If you really thought I was dangerous too, then attacking me head on is a rather stupid idea, isn't it?" Someone being seen as dangerous, and this guy clearly had some sort of DNA to him, would mean that a ranged attack should have been used instead. "Besides, who's to say I just didn't like the moon," he shrugged, the way he said it he was clearly not in the realm of the normal sane people. Not that being insane was a bad thing either.

"So, you see someone who can take down a gang, can hurl a spear into the air, and the decide it's a smart idea to attack him? And what the hell difference does it make in the first place if I kick the shit out of some weak gang members?" he didn't buy the original reason, following someone just cause the took down a gang. No one did that unless they were looking for something else. "Let me make this simple for you then, I am not a person to be pissed off. That's the kind of person that does all that, now that you know, you have no more reason to stick around," he reached down into the kid's pocket and put one of full heals into his hand. He could fix himself, and then he could leave, there was no further reason to spy on him.

Laughing as the kid tried to talk to him about responsibility, that was a hoot and a half. "Look, kid. I don't give a flyin' fuck about if it's responsible or not, I'm not some goody two shoes that cares about everyone. I'm a warrior, if I stop to worry about every little damn thing, I'll be stuck in the same self-imposed inability to let go of the past as everyone. I've got better things to do, like actually living life," his words showed the reality of the situation. Well, only if one knew what being a warrior was all about, if not then the words would go over the kids head. He had no sense of self-importance, he didn't view his actions as mean, evil, etc.

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] “Oh yes, a whistling sound is the perfect warning system for people who constantly run towards things like explosions to see what is going on, and what exactly would deaf people do?” These sounded like perfect counterarguments to the man’s completely ignorant remarks since most people in the world were not smart enough to cross the street let alone know that a whistling sound meant bad things were about to happen. “I don’t recall saying anything about you not liking the moon. I just said that you were a danger to those around you and probably yourself given that there are so many weapons lying around,” Shu said back to the man who was obviously an electric Gijinka that probably shouldn’t be drinking. “I decided to hit you because you were in a crazed state trying to pick the fight with something that isn’t even on this planet, and since you thought that I was the moon talking to you then one can conclude that I was correct about you being a drunken asshole instead of someone that should be noted as a hero.” Okay, the last part was a bit made up, but Shu was getting annoyed by this jerk so he was going to attempt to make the guy even more annoyed with him then he already was. When the guy put his hand into Shu’s pocket, Shu had this feeling that this guy was a freak among freaks, but then the guy pulled out a full heal for Shu to use. Then the rant came from the man about the last thing that Shu had said to the guy. Then the guy stopped talking, and Shu could think of only one thing to say as he applied the Full Heal to himself so that he could once again move normally. “You know what. I don’t actually care what kind of person you are anymore, but there is no way you are a warrior. More like an oaf with bad breath, but whatever. I have better things to do than mess with some pathetic person with electrical powers who still totes weaponry,” Victor said as he started to walk away from the guy. Then he stopped as a thought crossed his mind that seemed like it would be relevant to the conversation, and suddenly Shu spun around and launched a Shadow Ball at the guy. “Then again, I do owe you for the shock that you gave me.”

[cadeyrncassidy]

"If a deaf person is wandering around the forest at night, then they are asking for death anyways. And anyone with half a brain understands that a whistling noise from the sky is never a good thing, so would know to move out of the way. If not, I don't really care, not my problem they haven't learned about battle by this point," he stated, his tone and expression were serious. He wasn't gonna feel sorry, especially after the whole apocalypse thing. If anyone was still naive enough to stand around stupidly with a whistling sound from the sky, it was their own fault. "I'm not a danger to myself, and I am a danger to others. So what? Maybe they'll take the hint to not come around and bother me anymore," he looked at the kid, his gaze quite serious about his statement. He had no qualms with being a danger to others, it meant less people would come around him then.

"If I was in a crazed state, this forest wouldn't be standing anymore, you should learn to tell the difference between buzzed and crazed. Also, I know that voice wasn't the moon, but you came out quite nicely after assuming I did, didn't you?" his expression wasn't a bluff either, that smug expression with his arms crossed. He allowed himself to be bait to lure this little punk out after hearing that voice. "On another note, don't confuse me with some asshole trying to play hero. I don't give a fuck about being a hero, and I never have," what the hell was this bullshit about him trying to be a hero. What a lame ass joke that was, he hated people trying to say that he was a hero. God that thought just pissed him off thinking about it, he wanted to punch the little punk for that insulting comment.

"Kid, when you learn what a real warrior is, then you can come back and talk about it. Til then get lost, I don't give a damn about your narrow-minded view of shit," his mood was spoiled by the interruption of his drinking. He began to head back towards the place where his weapons were when the blast hit him in the back, knocking him forward a bit. There was no sound coming from him, but a blue aura surrounded him, before rain began to fall from the sky. It covered the area in a sheet of water, turning back, his eyes were a flicker with electricity. "You want to play, ya little shit? Fine, let's tango," lifting his finger into the air, a bolt of THUNDER struck down towards the the dark-haired brat.

[atrb=background, i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/Stick26/brown-1-1.jpg] Shu was done listening to what this drunken fool was saying in response to what had been said by him. All that he wanted to do now as beat the guy into a living pulp, so he could gloat about it later to the other Team Rocket guys. This was why he chose to Shadow Ball the guy into next week, but he was sad at what actually resulted from his assault. Not only did the guy not get blasted into unconsciousness, the guy recovered faster than a forty year old virgin did after his first time, and that just made Shu want to punch the guy in the face until he was in a coma. Unfortunately, that was not going to happen anytime soon as the guy started to glow blue, so Shu did the smart thing in this situation. He started running away from the spot where he had been standing because staying in one place for a fight was just stupid fighting, and Shu was anything but a stupid fighter. Of course, this didn’t matter as much given that the ground had just been showered by a brief rain, which seemed rather strange given the current state of the sky. When the guy called down his bolt of Thunder, Shu attempted to dodge it, but the soaked ground caused him to get zapped anyway. Now he was hurting, annoyed and slightly hungry, so now he was going to quit playing around with this fool. “Tango is a dance where the opponents are up close and personal, which means no more of long distance crap.” As soon as he said it, Shu charged toward the guy on his right side with his fist positioned like he was going to take a swing at the guy once he got close enough, but this was nowhere near the plan that was running through the boy’s mind. He knew that a straight up attack would be met with guy blasting him like an idiot. So just about a few away from the guy, Shu suddenly vanished from sight and appeared behind the guy and lashed out with his foot at the man’s back, and if he was lucky it would connect. Of course, he could get real lucky and hit in the same spot that the Shadow Ball had landed, but one never knew what was going to happen when using Faint Attack

[cadeyrncassidy]

The time for their talking ended the moment the little shithead thread another attack at him. Now, he was going to show him just what a real warrior was, and there was going to be no holding back for him. Closing his eyes, he concentrate his power, electricity sparking up around him, surging through him with power thanks to Charge. Standing perfectly still, he let the kid move around all he wanted with his little cheap antics.

When he came in to strike once more, however, his eyes glanced as he came from one side in a straight charge. That was a bad strategy, and this kid seemed the type not for straightforwardness. So, he tensed his entire body to lessen the pain of the impact. When he felt the attack strike though, he unleashed his stored up electricity, using his Discharge attack. This wasn't an attack like normal, as it launched out in every direction around Cade.

Standing tall, he looked towards the little punk, his eyes flaring with anger. "You get one chance to leave now, before I decide to blast into ash," he growled out at this intruder.
