Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.
Caleb watched Hiro go, wondering how the boy could ignore just how close he had come to getting pulverized. He was standing in a crater for goodness sake! He supposed it didn't matter.
Caleb was tired. He was wiping sweat and debris off his skin, and his nose had started bleeding. He had ended...
Caleb was in between the two before Hiro could go too far. He shoved Dakarai back and straddled Hiro like an ancient pankration fighter preparing to go for a knockout win. He snarled in frustration and anger
"That's what this is about? Some idea of being better than her?" Caleb brought his fist...
Caleb was glad to see Dakarai smile back, but his flicker of happiness turned to shame he also saw uncertainty in the eyes that looked back at him, and even a hint of fear. Guilt ran through his mind like worms. "I'm sorry. I should've stopped him. I told myself I would watch him, to look for...
Caleb actually chuckled when he heard the horns. The villains had lost. The only reason he could think of is... Tetsuma. "Guess that armor isn't just for show" he mused internally.
He saw the moment of confusion on Dakarai's face "What'd you think I'd do? Help him kill you? No. That's not what...
Caleb weathered Hiro's blows stoically. They stung, a little bit. But Tetsuma's had been hotter. Caleb was about to slam Hiro into the ground, to imprison him in concrete until Caleb was finished. But then he heard something that changed everything.
"Death."
Caleb's eyes twitched. He'd heard...
Caleb was surprised Dakarai was suddenly retreating, but his mind was not sharp enough at that moment to dwell on the why of the matter. He growled "If you insist," and jumped after her, matching her pace with ease. While he couldn't see why she was retreating, he could definitely see...
Caleb met Dakarai with his left fist. She banked at the last second, carving a deep furrow in his left pectoral as she passed. Blood spurted out of the wound. There was damage, but no pain. Caleb grunted as his quirk allowed him to not only radically boost existing muscles, but grow new muscle...
Caleb poked his head out the side of the building, looking for Hiro and Dakarai. He saw Hiro gain the upper hand. He saw Dakarai get punched through several buildings. Even in his inhibited mental state, Caleb was impressed. "Very powerful. I can hit harder, but still, very impressive."
He...
Caleb was too slow to counter the first two blows, and barely missed on the blow to his leg. "Wait for it..." His anger hissed. The first strike to his right arm struck unanswered. The second strike flew.
Caleb brought his right arm in tight, trapping Tetsuma's fist under his arm. The heat...
Caleb was ready for the air blast this time, grunting in reply "Fool me once shame on you!" He drew up more power, raising to 70% to absorb the superheated punch. He took the blow without flinching, his nerves barely acknowledging the burnt flesh on his chest. "Fool me twice, shame on me!" Caleb...
Caleb staggered as he was blown off balance, but pivoted around and retorted in a half-growl, half laugh "Was that supposed to hurt?" He launched at Tetsuma and threw a two-one combination, his bulging muscles giving him not only strength but speed. The first strike missed and smashed a divot...
Caleb was counting down from thirty. "Thirty... Twenty-nine... Twenty-eight..."
"Let's go already!" The anger almost pleaded. "Not yet. Just wait for the count" he told his hindbrain in response. "Twenty-seven... Twenty-"
He heard Hiro bark at Tetsuma. Even this far off, Caleb heard enough...
His strategizing over, Caleb dropped to one knee and prayed "Lord of Heaven above. I beseech you to help everyone give their best in this test. Deliver us from harm or if it be your will, carry us to Heaven for eternal rest." He rose again and began approaching the chosen battleground.
The...
Just realized I didn't answer @Barefoot_Kittens question. What I meant to say is that for the sake of time we should probably do it at the same time. It'll be a bit crazy but I think so long as we know who's with who we shouldn't have any problems. If we know that we can ignore posts from people...
