(OOC: Jeff, no. Delete your post. This thread was well underway, and borderlined abandoned. We got enough people to worry about here. If you wanted to check it out, make a separate thread. Omnaida, I got an assignment for you. Top of the Tier Tourney, Rui vs. Anon. I wanna get it rolling again. Oh, and I can't use Alex's modifications. )

The hinrichten was skilled, inching his way back to Alex. He threw a lightning sword. Alex side stepped, but the lightning sword still grazed his left shoulder due to the distance. But when the lightning bolts started, the energy beams stopped, and Loran slithered off to the left. But it was Alex's turn be on the defensive, backing off and weaving this way and that, using his energy katanas. He caught one bolt in the thigh and one in the stomach, plus two more in the chest. As the man got to him and raised his sword, Loran fired a shot at him, hitting him in the shoulder.

Harbringer rolled and prepared himself. Loran did not disappoint. The doll charged directly above him, spewing out a green gas that would cause phantom pains and a really itchy rash in random spots, plus diaherria for three posts. Alex also charged the man with an X slash moving out.

Jun shuddered when he saw the gas. "Fellas, whatever you do, don't piss him off enough to use that on you..." Jun warned the new students behind him...

Tousei grinned when he saw the gas being emitted from the bount's doll. He had seen it used before when he had fought alongside Alex a very long time ago. It was effective. He sat down beside the robotic-stuck-up-I'm-better-than-you-attitude woman, not yet opening his mouth to speak again. He figured he was either annoying her, or she really was just plain stubborn and refused to talk to anyone but Alex.
He sighed as he continue watching the fight, recognizing Alex's patterns and memorizing the hinrichtens.

Zaelin simply continued to watch the fight between the bounto and the hinrichten..though she began intensely more interested when the energy using Bounto began to use Poison. She didn't know he was capable of that..so she stored it into her memory and tucked it in a safe location for later use in case she needed too.

"Tousei Kato. You appear to dislike me.. Note that this doesn't actually bother me.. but I do think you've pegged me wrong simply because I am not much of a talker.. I'm a person of action."

She didn't offer a further explanation..and didn't think one was required. The man had her wrong..simply because she was currently in observation and mission directives..making her seem much colder and more of a bitch than she really was, but she figured she'd get to clear things up eventually..even if it took a couple of decades.

Harbringer noticed the doll up above him just in time. A green gas billowed down at him. He took a deep breath and held it just before the gas descended, and he Blinkin'd away. He hoped to escape most of the effects of whatever the gas was. Of course, it could be absorbed through the skin, but Harbinger hoped that any dangerous effects would be stopped by not inhaling any of it.

Harbringer got a blade up just in time to block the X strike, but it pushed him back a few feet. He Blinkin'd a few more feet back, and send lighting through the air at the Bount, hoping to catch him with the counter strike.

(OOC: I didn't mention symptoms yet because I'm not sure what symptoms, if any would be avoided by holding his breath.)

(OOC: Relax, if you held your breath you avoided every effect. If I made it able to be absorbed by the skin, even with its limits I think that's a little much.)

The hinrichten held his breath and lept out of the way of the gas. It was a good move as it allowed him to avoid the gas's effects completely. Dane was able to block the X strike, and even fired a lightning bolt at him as he jumped away. He's seen that move enough times now. Alex turned one of the katana's into a scimitar and used it to hit the bolt of lightning. The bolt was reflected back to it's owner. Compliments of Alex's analytical skills.

"Not bad. But let's how you do against more concentrated attacks. Loran!" The snake like creature started to transform. The middle part of its body lessened as the tail blade connected to the back of the head. The head opened its mouth, and a hilt came out of it. The blade then grew in length to that of four feet. The doll was now a weapon, a sword. Alex desummoned his other katana and grabbed Loran. As a sword form, the energy beams were now an energy blast and the shield was slightly stronger. But at the cost of the gas. The tall man fired a green energy blast at the hinrichten. He wanted to push this creature, this "evil" incarnate. To get as much data on him as possible.

Tousei scoffed as the cyborg spoke, "Person is a little bit of a stretch there, don't you think?" as he continued, Tousei flicked his metallic hand, sending a sliver of metal into the air which he caught back in his palm, and absorbed it into his iron hand. He repeated this process again, entertaining himself as he watched the fight and spoke to the robot beside him. "Besides, I would hardly consider sitting down action."

And there it was.. a horrible attempt at sarcasm. She had a very short tolerance it seemed because she was up in an instant and had already managed to whip out her blade whilst moving her body at a near blur speed so that she was behind Tousei with her special dagger against his neck and her pistol with spiritual bullets held against his temple.

"I will say this one time..pray I never have to say it again.. i do not like your attitude.. I attempted to correct what appeared to be damage towards your thoughts on me..and you started to insult my very existence.. There is very little real difference between me and you..except i am capable of taking more lethal blows and remain alive.. I am tired of repeating myself to people that I am not a robot.. I am a prosthetic human being.. a human with cyber technology enhancing over 95% of my body.. thats all. I still bleed and feel..bastard.."

Not having given him a choice in the matter of being held at a position in which death would have been unavoidable gave her little else left but to release him...however she didn't sit back down..she remained standing as she slid her knife into its spot on her leg and her pistole went back into the container..which demolecularized it and stored it for her. She cast a glare at tousei before returning her attention to the match between Alexander Kerensky and the hinrichten..She had begun to wonder why Alex had been going so easy..but she quickly came to realize it was because he was collecting information..just like she was. Except he was doing it on the hinrichten specifically..while she was doing it towards both combatants..Oh well.. she wondered if that was the extent of the hinrichtens power though..he had used the same ability to throw lightning several times.. disappointing.

Harbringer was suprised to see his attack reflected back at him, but the attack itself didn't overtly worry him. He just barely Blinkin'd away before it hit him, crackling through the air. Harbringer was still waiting for the effects of the gas, but realized if they hadn't come by now, they probably never would. It was interesting to note that Alex's gas had to be inhaled. He stored that away for future reference.

"Not bad. But let's see how well you do against more concentrated attacks. Loran!" The Bount's doll transformed, and for the first time, Harbringer truly examined it. It looked snake-like, but more mechanical-seeming. Now, it was shifting to look like a sword, and Kerenskey dismissed his other sword and grabbed his doll. The Bount fired a blast of the same green energy as before, and Harbringer put his lightning blades in front of him like an X to block it. It sent him sliding back, but Harbringer didn't mind. He fired another blast of lightning at Alex, then leapt forward again, just a like he had done before. But he had something a bit different in mind. He just realized how much like metal Alex's doll looked. He didn't know if it was or not, but he decided it was worth a try. As soon as he got in range, he absorbed one of his lightning blades, leaving one hand free. Then he did something similar to his other EMP, but when he did, he extended his hand, palm first, at Kerenskey's doll, sending a powerful blast of magnetism at it, in the hopes that it would have some effect. By the time he was done, he was within striking range, and slashed his lighting blade at the Bount.

Alex blast hit the man's lightning blades and forced him back. Another lightning blast came at him. The green haired man just ducked to avoid it. Harbringer jumped at him. Alex swung his doll to meet his lightning blade. But the man absorbed his blade and fired a stronger form of his EMP pulse. Loran was deflected away from the man, but Alex still kept hold. He took not of the technique's strength. The hinrichten then swung with the other lightning blade. Only to be met by a green shield surrounding Alex. The man wore a shield generator, a 21st century watch. Reason why it wasn't burnt out from the first one was because he was over fifteen feet away, and the second one was aimed.

Just as the shield came down, Alex used his schimitar to deflect and angle the man's blade back at him. He then slashed with Loran to force him back. "Is that all of your tricks? I hate to say it, but I am a busy man. Let's end this soon." Alex proposed. If he still had one more ability or something, then that would be the last one he would see for today.

Tousei thought about the robot's comment about being able to take more lethal blows while remaining alive as he looked at his metallic hand. He wasn't too sure about that, but he decided he would let it slide. He didn't care that it didn't like his attitude, cause frankly, he didn't like hers either.
As she held her knife against his throat, Tousei brought forth the iron once again, forming just where the blade would cut as well as on the side of his temple, where her gun was aimed. He knew the iron wouldn't be as strong in these areas as on his arms, but he figured it could still be used as a deterrant.
When she released him, Tousei stood up and spun around to face her. "You just made three mistakes here. The first of which, obviously, was assaulting me on my own ground. That alone would be enough to take action and arrest you. The second was admitting your strength, revealing to me how much damage you can take, and hinting that you may be fairly powerful."
He grinned at the woman mockingly as he continued, "And of course, your third mistake."
Tousei drew his pistol and aimed both of his weapons at the prosthetic human, charging them with reiatsu. "Was admitting that you're human."
He didn't know if she would clue in to what he meant by that, but he didn't really care. He was going to let this one slide at first up until she threatened him. Now, he was simply doing his job.
As he charged his pistols, he continued with his speech, "If you move, even a little, I will pull the trigger." His tone was completely serious, not even a tremor as he growled, "Even if your speed out matches my reaction time - which is highly unlikely - these triggers will still be pulled and the children who stand behind you will hardly fare as well as you would. Now, are you going to start cooperating with me?"

Zaelin's eyes seemed to burn with fire as the man began to recount how she err'd..for she knew she had and did indeed take those errors into account and decided that he would have been smart enough to simply let it go and continue to observe the current fight. However he proved her thoughts on the matter to be wrong when he not only pulled guns on HER..but then said he was going to hit the children if she moved. This man claimed to be an ally of the human race yet would shoot children? This man didn't deserve to be within an organization that was ment to preserve human life.

"Prime Directive states I am to protect these children while Alexander fights the anomaly that has been verified as a Hinrichten. You, who would claim to hurt the children, have become target to this directive..and must be stopped as a threat to the directive."

"Engage Prime Target while protecting Prime Directive." the command went through her head as she didn't move to either side at all..she did however purposely bull rushed the man allowing the bullets to hit her skin and to her surprise..explode on her body...so that they didn't harm the children but she did take more damage than she originally thought she would. Before he could pull the trigger again however..she was there. Her left fist going for his face while her right hand pulled out the gun again and fired its reiatsu empowered special rounds, ment for hollows and arrancars with heirros, at both his legs and once in the gut. None of those wounds would kill if they hit..but they should cripple him if they hit properly..though with his iron ability.she didn't think it was likely to happen. She didn't have any normal ammo..mainly because she never intended the gun for use on a human. It seems that was a mistaken assumption however..and because this man could make a iron skin form around him..she would be glad she had her special bullets.

The nanobots in her body quickly went to work on the area's where the bullets had gone in..and had already began to mend the wounds rather quickly..though the wounds were still open there was very little blood.. It would take a bit more time..but those wounds would close. Zaelin Misana was built to survive..a fact she was going to prove against a man who would hurt children.

She had stopped moving after she fired that first shot..expecting the mans iron power to have deflected it. When it came to physical power they would be evenly matched even if he covered his fists in iron..because that was how Zaelin was made. However..it was also noted that it would be very difficult to inflict lasting damage on the man's body. Hopefully Alexander Kerensky ended his match quickly so that he could stop this man from continuing along the line he was currently on. Otherwise she may have no choice but to terminate the target of the prime directive.

"You cannot win. Drop your weapons and resume pacifistic manners until Alexander Kerensky has finished dealing with the Hinrichten."

She didn't expect him to do as he was told at all. But she figured she would give him a verbal last chance before forcing him to stop. She wasn't about to allow him to harm the children. If he continued to try and fight her..he would put them in danger. However..Prime Directive is overriden when the need for self sustainment arises. So she wasn't about to allow this man to harm her or arrest her. Especially when she hadn't actually done anything wrong. She didn't hurt him. Merely caught him off guard and told him she didn't like his attitude.

Harbringer jumped back to avoid the strike from the Doll. Then he smiled ruefully at what Alex said. Internally he was both cursing the Bount and thanking the Diablo that he hadn't tried to attack the students while the headmaster was there. Harbringer re-sealed his Sense. "Well, I've got nothing. Sorry to disappoint you." He scratched the back of his head. "Guess that's it, huh? Probably should leave now, right? You sure I can't just stay and talk? I mean, Hell is pretty damn boring. Nothing but people screaming all day. It kind of gets on your nerves after awhile." Funnily enough, that was true...but not how it sounded. It was boring because Hell didn't provide enough torture; it was all physical and just barely emotional. But Harbringer made sure it didn't sound like that.

Jun saw the cyborg woman and Tousei start to go at it. Immediately he blurred between the two after the shots fired, his hands out telling them to stop. "Oi! Stop this! Damn it why are you two fighting! It only shows there is dissention among the group!" The green eyed teenager said. "Just calm down, everyone!"

Alex saw this and listened to the hinrichten. "Sorry, but I'm not going to take any chances. I sometimes leave here, and your battle ability is greater than Jun's and Rallen's. Even if Jun's final form is the greatest power boost I've ever seen. Please leave." That was all the bounto said, walking off to Tousei, Jun, and the cyborg woman. He still kept an eye on the hinrichten, mainly to make sure he left without incident.

"Enough, both of you. Do as Jun says. Cease and desist. Jun, give the students a tour. Tousei, miss, stay here." Jun nodded and did as he was told, leaving with the students. "Alright. Tousei, please put your guns away. Now then, start explaining why you two started fighting?" Alex's voice was rather stern. He didn't like the fact that Tousei threatened his students. Jun was no ordinary kid, granted, but still. This kind of action was intolerable.

OOC: only over a month late, no big deal

Tousei tilted his head towards Alex, sending a sly wink his way before turning back towards the cyborg.

"Jun, do what Alex says and get the children out of here..." As he spoke, an arc of electricity shot across his forearms, visible to the three others.
"It'd be in the best of all of your interests."

As he continued to stare towards the cyborg, the metallic human continued to speak. "However, you robot. I'm quite offended that you boldy trod upon mine and Alex's turf, then threaten me, telling me to... what was it, cease and desist?"
His scowl grew deeper as he growled menacingly, "Your robot mind couldn't even realize that as a member of the committee, I would never harm the children. Foolish girl."

Ignoring Alex's command, he kept the guns pointed towards Zaelin. "I will admit, however, that your crude remarks and bold attack pushed me to become a little reckless. If you don't back down, I will release an electrical pulse that even your anti-shock device won't be able to protect you from."

His eyes then darted back and forth between Jun and the robot, hoping that he would begin herding the children away as he prodded himself for his reckless actions.

Zaelin sighed and simply vanished from view as she activated her invisibility cloaking device. It happened so flawlessly that, when she appeared by Alexander Kerensky's side a moment later by use of blur, it seemed like she teleported. She was annoyed at not only the way this man was acting..but the fact he was acting like he was big and bad enough to ignore his superior officer Alex.

She looked over at Alexander and spoke before returning her attention to Tousei Kato. Her body was lax..she didn't even look worried that Tousei flat out said he was going to take her out. It was like she knew for a 100% fact he couldn't bring her down. She had read his file..she knew how he was and how his powers worked.. it wouldn't be very difficult considering that spiritually she was superior..and physically.. with his iron at least..they were dead even..because of her prothetic body.

"I do not think he intends to obey orders Alexander Kerensky. I am afraid, however, that this is actually my fault. my emotions got the best of me for a split second..and I put him in a headlock..with two weapons ready to end his life. I let him go.. of course.. but he decided to push the matter just because he thought he is able to take me out without a fuss."

Now she was facing Tousei Kato fully and she looked rather annoyed. Honestly.. even IF he overloaded the Anti-shock..he still had to contend with her spiritual energy..which was usually being used to encase the nanobots in her body to protect them from attacks..much like the reiatsu barrier shinigami use sometimes if they are strong enough. but she still had plenty to exert and use for her one single power..in and of itself was still very dangerous..even to an iron man.

"If you continue to act hostile.. I will take action. You don't know anything about me other than what i have told you so far.. do you really intend to march into battle blind as a bat?"

she didn't think that would deter him..but she didn't take any hostile stance..nor any other actions. She simply stood there with her arms crossed and waited for Alexander to scold Tousei Kato for his actions..and probably scold Zaelin too since she just admitted she caused this little senario.
