(OOC: This event takes place just before Carniku's Birthday and isn't linked to it in any kind. This is a thread intended solely for Xarius...plz don't post without asking )
Xarius entered the bleak world of the Shadow Realm with some information which might be useful for Barnibus. The looming darkness which always shrouded this bleak and pale world were no different this time. Although he had once been warned not to use this world as a gateway through worlds, Xarius had never really paid any attention to it. He had once been warned by the Shadow Fiends that the Shadow Realm were inhabitated by creatures much more powerful than a mere Shadow Fiend. And besides spending a few seconds through the Shadow Realm was way better than having to travel half the world by flying. Still this particular day he should have chosen the latter.
He had just been a couple of seconds inside the Shadow Realm, when a unknown force struck him hard in the chest. Xarius's body were thrown backwards by the immense force and skidded along the ground. He coughed and gritted his teeths, flipping onto his feets again Xarius looked around. The attacker were not visible. "Show Yourself Coward!" Xarius cried out as a burning red aura flared up. A decent ammount of energy radiated from Xarius, his eyes burned with fire. Literally. Seconds later a purple glow surrounded Xarius, dark matter flowing through him. "Show Yourself!!!" Xarius cried out yet again then everything became bright!
Xarius suddenly woke up, not knowing for how long he had been asleep. He however realised that some flashback had occured. "I got attacked?!" Xarius said a little puzzled and looked as his chest, the scar seemed however to be old. He found himself back to present time. "The facility is ready sir!" A Rooslandian Colonel spoke to Xarius, saluting him. The secret Rooslandian Military Base somewhere near Mount Roosmore did more than just military training. The base were established sometime before the first Rooslandian Soldiers were official.
"Good....carry on Colonel." Xarius spoke as he stood up. Grabbing a bottle of WATER as he exited the room. One could clearly see that he was inside a military complex, all the comforts usually found inside Castle Comealot were replaced with steel, concrete and tight spaces. Through the corridor a large ammount of people moved back and forth. Guards stationed at key locations. Next to Castle Comealot, this facility were probably the most secure and well guarded garrison on Roosland. The exact number of troops stationed in Roosland were uknown, not even Xarius knew the exact numbers. But again Xarius didn't manage to keep track on every newcomers to Roosland, ever since Roos broadcasted and invited people to come here on the television. Since then, a steady stream of people moved to Roosland. Seeking a better (and more bizarre) life.
Xarius followed the colonel to a restricted area of the base, the part of the base which developed and reasearched further with Xennarian and other alien technology. He were led to a big black door, the letter X-25 were carved on the door. "It's ready for testing sir...and I thought you should have the honor." The colonel said and nodded. Xarius nodded back in entered the room. And it was pretty similar to the training chamber found at the basement of Castle Comealot. Though according too the specifications Xarius had been given, this chamber were severly improved. It even had it's own Power Reactor to power it up. Well I'm going to leave you now sir. The colonel said before he headed off to other duties.
Xarius walked over to the computer console, it looked just as the one in Castle Comealot. Though it were capable of running alot more training programs. The room itself were twice the size and oval in shape. I should probably do some workout again then... Xarius said and set the console to run a light training program. The room started to glow white and Xarius could feel the added gravity taking place. And he could instantly feel he were nowhere his old strength. A hatch opened at the top of the room and 6 orb shaped drones spawned. They all glowed with a purple color. "Ehhh...what's this?" Xarius said just as the 6 orb drones opened fire on Xarius. A barrage of ki blasts pounding on him. Xarius crossed his arms in a X position along with his fire red aura flared up. The ki blasts exploded on impact, engulfing Xarius in the inferno.
Once the smoke lifted, Xarius stood there in his fighting stance staring at the drones. His clothes were slightly burnt, a scorch mark on his cheek and a angry look on his face. In his right palm, a build up of energy were released. Ki blasts shot at the floating orbs with great accuracy, each of them were hit dead on and exploded.
Xennarian!!! A voice whispered in the dark, moving quickly from one place to another. Xarius detected a huge source of power moving at lightning speed from one place to another, and he had already compared his own power with that of the unknown and hidden attacker. It seemed somewhat lower than Xarius expected, but he assumed whatever that had attacked him were concealing it's power level on purpose. And he was right just as another blow hit Xarius's raised elbow block. A blow intended for his head. The force of the blow were quite powerful as Xarius nearly lost his balance. C'mon! Show yourself! A splash of water hit Xarius in the face followed up by a huge boulder which Xarius caught with his both arms with little effort. However it left him vulnerable for an attack. He could feel a intense pain across his left side, where a foot had just struck him. Sending him spinning in the air, landing hard on his back.
Seriously...is this all you got...Xarius? The voice was clearly mocking Xarius as he laid on his back, grinning in pain. A dark figure emerged from the shadows, clothed in black. Humanoid shaped. Xarius could see that it looked almost like a human, except from a weird looking symbol on his forehead. Whic h seemed to glow with a greenish color. Xarius quickly flipped to his feet and stared at the opponent. Suddenly a bright flash emerged!!!
Xarius was back within the training chamber again, just another flash back had struck him. Another one? What the hell is happening with me?
Xarius had successfully dispatched the first 6 training drones with little effort, but now the computer console were blinking and making a faint buzzing sound. "Program 1 complete...*buzz* *buzz* Initiate Program 2..." The hatch opened again and a beam shot down from it and down on the floor. A glowing white orb laid on the floor tiles, glowing with a purple color. Xarius stared at it, slightly puzzled while drinking some Mountain Roos. The orb suddenly stopped glowing and sort of expanded rapidly until a point where it exploded in a purple *puff*. From the purple smoke, a weird looking humanoid shaped but clearly not a living being emerged. "Eh I didn't told those techs to create Battle Drones..." Xennarian Battle Drones were invented during the last war vs the Tekkarians on Xennar. And as far Xarius could remember, they were known to pack quite a punch, while able to withstand atleast twice as much beating. The Battle Drone raised his right arm, which had transformed into a Xennarian Vulcan Gun. "Target aquired...Xennarian locked on!" Xarius knew by now that he had to react quickly, for the Vulcan Gun worked in the same way as his own Vulcan Wave attack, meaning that alot of dark matter balls would come his way in a barrage. Xarius flipped to the side as fast as he could while a build up of dark matter gathered in his palm. The Vulcan Gun roared as a stream of dark matter balls flew at Xarius, in return a stream of dark matter balls were fired from Xarius's palm. A field of explosions were created between him and the Battle Drone as a result of the counter attack. "And this is just mere training?!" Xarius said a little upset as that attack could very well have caused grave injuries. "Stupid tin can!" Xarius said while a ki ball formed in his hand, seconds later it were thrown at the "tincan".
A bright blue explosion were the result of Xarius's excellent throwing arm as the ki ball hit dead center on the Battle Drone. However when the smoke lifted, it stood there just partially damaged. A few cracks had appeared on it's steel plated frame. "Damage Report: Vulcan Gun disabled, subsystems damaged, integrity 70%." Xarius were quite annoyed at himself as such a blast usually would have been more than enough, so either these Battle Drones were made better then the ones used on his homeplanet or he were severly exhausted. However the Battle Drone's main weaponary had been disabled, so dispatching it wouldn't be that hard. "Target Aquired: Xennarian.....Vulcan Gun inoperative....switching arms......" Sounded from the Battle Drone as the battledrone raised it's left arm. And to Xarius's great surprise it morphed into a smaller version of the Xennarian Siege Cannon. "Now what the..." Came from Xarius's mouth as a powerful blast pinned Xarius to the wall. The pain he felt from where the blast had impacted, could be described as being hit by a sledgehammer. Birds literally flew around Xar's head, and he wondered what the hell had just happen. Obviously the Rooslandian scientists had taken a step further and improved or modified on the existing Xennarian hi-tech data Xarius had given them. Xarius pushed himself from the wall, slightly angry and stared at Drone. His fire-red aura burned around in a pulsating motion. "You're scrapmetal!" Were the only words being said before Xarius vanished, reappearing behind the Drone with a fist tearing through the Battle Drone's steel plated chest section. It collapsed on the floor, making a series of buzzing and beeping sounds.
