OOC: Let. There. Be. LIFE!
BIC:
The sky was bright blue; a few puffy white clouds covered it. The sound of seagulls filled air, as they chirped and called out to each other. A dull roar could also be heard, and a salty smell penetrated the air.
Sem stood on a large rock looking over the vast ocean. Waves crashed against the rocks Sem was perched on, drops of water sprayed everywhere. Sem was currently connected to the ocean, and could feel everything going on in it. He was waiting, keeping a steady watch on the water and the beach itself.
"Will it come?" thoughts swirled in Sem's head.
"Is it already here?"
"Are you strong enough to defeat it?"
"Could this be your last assignment?"
"…"
"Will you die?"
That last thought was sinister indeed; the tone was more malevolent than the others, yet calmer as well. It didn't matter though; Sem could not succumb to these thoughts. Such things would be his downfall, and what use would he be then?
Sem sighed as watch the ocean. The wind was blowing; Sem's hair and trench coat flowed with it. He could stand there, looking at the ocean all day, such an amazing thing. His fascination with the element was unsurpassed, and most thought it was unhealthy. He integrated the element with his virtual self as much as he was allowed to, and he was given even more privileges when he joined Wray's little band of heroes.
The group itself was full of some crazy organisms, and Sem fit right in, though he didn't talk too much with any of them. He would talk if necessary, not afraid to ask for help and to ask questions, and he was good with team work. But he was good working alone, and he preferred it that way most of the time.
Sem abruptly stopped scanning the area and focused on a spot in the water. He felt a large disturbance coming from that area. Such a disturbance could only be made by the thing he was looking for: an Elite Program.
An explosion of water was seen and a being flew out of its wake, landing on the beach. Sem eyed the program. It was aquatic, a humanoid-shark-creature-thing. It had a large head and a mouth almost as big, filled to the brims with rows and rows of teeth. The underside of the creature, the part that went from the lower jaw to the inner thighs, was white. The rest was dark grey. The Elite had gills, as well as a large fin on its back. Supporting it were a pair of powerful legs, and the Elite sported a tail as well, with a fin on the end. Red MCP code cackled all over its body, confirming that it had indeed been infected.
"Pity." Sem said to himself. "Such a creature would be powerful ally." Sem cocked his head as he stared, the creature had seen Sem and was now facing him. It was about five hundred yards away. A match with this creature would not be easy. Both of them were able to control water, and water would do minimal damage to either of them. A very bitter sweet situation.
Sem could hear the creature roar as it started running at him full speed. He threw down his weapons, choosing only to battle with his own knowledge of the element and how to control it. Sem raised his arms up towards the sky. They began to tremble as a large amount of energy passed through them. Gradually the skies darkened, black clouds filled the once blue sky and rain began to pour. Lightly, but then harder and harder. This was one of the things Sem was not permitted to do, make the heavens shed their tears, or as most would say, change the weather. But it was a dire situation, and he could be let off, just this once. He would do anything if it could possibly help him with this beast.
The creature was close now. Sem stood his ground on the rock and held his arms out towards the sea. Still facing the creature, he then thrust his arms the opposite way, a large wall of water followed them and placed itself in-between Sem and the incoming Elite. He brought his arms back to his center and then lowered them slowly, breathing out as he did. The wall froze, and instantly cooled the air in the area.
The program did not slow down, nor did the water elemental, Sem, expect it to. The creature ripped through the wall like it was nothing, the ice melted as it did so. The Elite looked up to the rocks and saw that Sem was gone. Instinctively it looked over its shoulder and saw Sem standing right behind it. The creature growled, malice as cold as ice was shown in its black, abyss-like eyes. Sem held his arm out in front of him and gather the melted water above his head to form a large sphere.
Sem held the ball of water in place with his right arm raised above his head. He spun around and as he did, grabbed water from the ocean with his left hand. He launch the sphere of liquid at the shark, and formed the water in his other hand into long icicles, before throwing them too.
The water Elite simply put his muscled arm out in front of him and the sphere of water splashed against it. The bubble burst and water splashed everywhere. The shark then sidestepped to dodge the icicles.
"He's pretty fast." Sem thought, narrowing his eyes. Sem raised one of his arms for another attack, but he felt something wrap around his arm, then something took hold of the other. Water began to surround Sem, restricting the use of his arms, meaning he could not escape, and his fingers were useless in this kind of situation. Sem could only watch as he was thrown out into the ocean. As soon as he fell into the water he was free of his bonds and he went back to the surface.
Sem spun in circles while floating, the water revolved around him and began freezing. In a matter of seconds Sem had created for himself a small island fortress, about the 15 feet in diameter. The Elite would have to come out into the water if he wanted Sem. And Sem would to make sure he would not make it easy for the program. Sem had to take every precaution possible in order to stand a chance. This is the moment where all his training, practicing, and experimenting would have to come into play.
OOC: Yeah, I little short. But the whole battle would take a while, so I'll finish it off in the next post.
