"Yeah, sure thing."
[i]Xavier put her down gently, then started to put a finger up to his ear. He seemed to be silently talking to someone or something. A few nods and a few words later, the gate opened, revealing the Dojo. Nothing suspicious about that, at least.[/i]

[b]She merely watches the gate not saying anything one way or the other. At this point she almost wished Desmond was around to do something...[/b]
-
"Can you walk now? Hopefully you can at least move." [i]Xavier held out his hand to help her up.[/i]
-
[b]She looked down at her bruised and badly torn feet, the cuts and gashes still fresh.[/b] [b]With a shrug, she placed a gentle hand in his, her skin strangely soft.[/b] [b]With a heave, she brought herself up with a wince, but did not protest. She rarely did. Quickly, she slipped her hand out of his and looked at the entrance, slightly confused on what the place was supposed to be.[/b]
-
[i]Dojoville was kinda busy today. And by kinda, I mean not a lot of people. There were a few humans and other species walking around and chatting, but other than that, it was a pretty nice settlement.[/i]
-
[i]"This is where you live...?"[/i] [b]With an annoyed glance she looks at the crowd, slowly producing her umbrella from seemingly thin air, unfolding it and settling it on her shoulder. Eventually, a long black veil lowered and hid her completely, only her silhouette visible.[/b]
-
"Well, not really. I live in a more private place somewhere away from here. Follow me, there'll be less people, I promise." [i]Xavier walked to the right.[/i]
-
[b]She hesitated, before eventually following, her steps wobbly from the wounds. But she refused to complain or whimper.[/b]

Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/6/2016 7:22:08 AM[i]Their walk wasn't interrupted, before something weird happened. The air seemed to... 'Glitch', causing the sky to look like a broken mirror. Tiny, polygonal shapes started to arise from the ground like smoke. The people that were walking around seemed to have frozen, also. Even the birds in mid-flight are.[/i] "Did some fool just activate a temporal distortion?" [i]Xavier pulled out his M(agnetic) AR, scanning with it.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe said nothing, her emotion hidden under the veil. She didn't know what Xavier was saying, but she could recognize the assault rifle as a firearm... That meant danger.[/b] [i]"Something the matter...?"[/i]
-
"Yeah, someone or something is trying to mess with this dimension's reality stability. If this continues, it'll tear all of us and this place apart. Except for me, since I'm, uhhhh... Special." [i]Xavier lowered his rifle and put his fingers to his head.[/i] "Now, where would it be...?" [i]The same polygonal shapes started to come out from him as he concentrated.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe had no idea what he meant, or what was going on. She resigned to staying quiet and watching, assuming things would just figure themselves out.[/b]
-
[i]Then suddenly, some kinda ghosts appeared. Except that they looked a bit... 'Digitised' and has red eyes. They started to summon some hardlight blades and rush towards Xavier, which he started firing upon the ghosts.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe seemed slightly worried, the ground around her suddenly sprouting up to form a protective wall around her. She had little in terms of combat skills, but defense was her specialty.[/b]
-
[i]A ghost head starts to emerge from the ground, inside where Chloe's wall was.[/i]
-
[b]She looked down, unnerved but not really threatened. With a sudden turn, the lines along her skin turned a horrible and violent red, mov by down her legs and pressing into the cortex of the ghost, causing it to fracture and break... Her abilities stretched to all realms, giving her the ability to break down most substances with a few mere thoughts.[/b]
-
Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/7/2016 2:27:42 AM[i]As the ghost's fabric broke down, it let out a ear-pricing scream before exploding into polygonal shapes. A loud crashing could be heard against the wall, where the fight was heard outside.[/i] [i]There was something special about the ghost... Like it didn't exist inside of a realm at all.[/i]
-
[b]The walls began to slide downwards as she remained hidden behind her veil of cloth, merely looking out to see what was happening.[/b]
-
[i]What unveiled was a huge battle between Xavier and some large creature. It still had the appearance like the other ones, but it looked like a ape and had weird, polygonal shaped skin that looked more like armour than fur. As the creature leaped for a smash, Xavier ran and slid, shooting it as he went. The magnetic bullets didn't seem to affect the creature, due to it's tough skin.[/i] [i]The ape, after landing, just simply turned around, roared, and decided to charge. Xavier attempted to fire, but before he could, a piece of rubble which the creature used as a shield blocked the bullets, and was thrown at Xavier. He got sent back with the rubble into a large building, which slightly collapsed on him.[/i] [i]Then the creature waited for Xavier's next move.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe, who still had no clue what was going on, outstretched a hand to the sky, lines rocketing up into the air until they tore the sky apart and formed a kind of portal. She didn't really want to... Handle this. Danger wasn't her favorite kind of thing, and she needed an escape route... it would take a moment to open, but it was working...[/b]
-
Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/9/2016 3:20:48 AM[i]Somehow, the portal started to fluxuate, causing it to not open any further. Seems like in this state of reality, some things cannot be possible. The wreckage where Xavier was launched into started to shuffle a bit.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe frowned, her current situation displeasing her greatly. She should have just stayed at the bench... Or at least stopped this man from carrying her around without permission.[/b] [b]With a crunch, she brought a wall of lines around her, the color turning red as it swirled to a disk. At least now she had some protection...[/b]
-
[i]The rubble was sent flying everywhere as Xavier surged with a purple energy. The creature roared again, but was interrupted by the purple energy blast by Xavier's Psionics. He continued to soul fire at the creature, slowly but surely killing it. The purple lights almost blind Chloe.[/i]
-
[b]Heavily frustrated by this point, Chloe launched a wall around to keep out the light, unimpressively annoyed at her current situation. She was going to leave the first chance she got... Too much chaos... Too much.. Everything...[/b]
-
[i]There was distorted speech behind her, then the rumbling of explosions against her wall.[/i]
-
[i]Chloe starts to hear some disoriented speech from somewhere behind her, then the sound of explosions against her wall. Xavier Carter now was slashing at the creature with his Elerium blade, dodging blind punches.[/i]
