Omni nodded. "Well. I'm glad you spared him at the very least." He frowned. "I may have a rather large family, that I don't even know all of the names of, but I still care for them." With a smile, he added. "I would not like to lose any of them." He then nodded. "But on the topic of Belak... You can trust him not to betray you. He does nothing but listen and carry out orders. He's done so ever since he turned himself into a demon."

"Hm," Yamiken answered in contemplation. "Well, that vote of confidence calms my mind. But are you sure his judgement of Noah's disposition is correct?" There was still clear doubt in his voice.

Omni nodded. "Yeah. Noah holds no grudges." He scratched his chin. "Though he'll probably want a rematch at some point. Noah accepts defeat, but only truly after a few rounds. You just need to know that he won't be out for revenge. Now I can't speak for everyone there on that... Though I'm sure you've probably come to that conclusion already." he admitted with some disaprovement.

"Naturally," chuckled Yamiken to that last comment. "Well," he went on, growing serious once more, "If you say so, then I'm sure the two of you know better than I." He finally sounded more or less satisfied.

Omni smiled and nodded, then shifted back to the fight. "So you said five minutes? You weren't using Orochi's crystals now were you?" Of course he didn't know whether Yamiken had hidden any more of them over the past two weeks or not, so this was one way to ask without directly bringing up the subject.

"Well... I may have used a little energy from mine," Yamiken replied, being deliberately ambiguous. He wasn't stupid, after all. "There was a deadlock towards the end which required brute force, so to speak, rather than guile."

Omni scratched his chin. "A dead lock? If memory serves me well... Noah uses a hammer. It doesn't sound very likely that it would get into a deadlock with a katana." Omni did know that that it was probably something else... But he wasn't absolutely sure. Strange things do happen...

"Indeed it doesn't," Yamiken agreed dryly. "Our deadlock was far more magical in nature - Light versus Darkness." He didn't elaborate further - there wasn't much to elaborate on.

Omni understood fully. "Mmmm." He paused, and then chuckled. "Trying out my powers?" He joked a bit. He then went slightly more serious. "Just be careful if you ever get into that situation again. Void can be rather... Unpredictable and destructive if not maintained at a constant rate."

"Mmhm," Yamiken hummed in agreement. "I can easily see how." He looked pensive for a few seconds, before asking, "What do you know of the one called Toraken?"

Omni hmmmm'd a bit before answering. "Well he's Mushashi's counterpart to begin with... I've only seen him once, but I have to admit that he's a tough one. I didn't fight him myself, but it looked like the entire group there had to fight all at once just to beat him. I'm afraid that that is all I know on the subject." He smiled. "Does he interest you?"

"Daniel informs me that he's the only one on that world he might be of any use to me," Yamiken drawled. "From the sound of things, they may just be trying to offload him onto me." He sounded distinctly amused.

Omni chuckled. "Oh believe me, they'd be absolutely relieved if you took him of their hands. So yes, they are trying to offload him on you...but at the same time, he would be the only one of use to you, strengthwise." he then corrected himself. "Well, unless you were able to convince the others to join you. They're rather helpful as a team..."

"I can't really see that happening," Yamiken replied dryly. "Belak is cooperative, Zeak struck me as not caring and Noah you say won't bear a grudge, but Remus and Corona were livid, and Daniel looked as if he was trying to hold back from attacking me with all he had. Sotec I doubt would be particularly amiable either." With this said, he concluded, "Toraken it is."

Omni nodded. "That sure sounds like them... Though Daniel is usually a rather calm leader. I'm surprised." He looked up at his dresser and examined a music box of the Universal Nexus. He looked back down into the crystal. "You might have some trouble with locating Toraken. I couldn't sense him at all, even though he was standing about 25 feet away from me."

"The plan is to let word of my little coup spread, and wait for him to come to us," Yamiken informed Omni. "Then we simply have to defeat him by any means possible." He sounded reasonably confident; he did, after all, have the crystal fragment to rely on.

Omni nodded. "Yeah. That sounds like the best idea, what I would have done. Though what if Toraken thinks this is just some ruse to lure him out and get taken out by the group? He's not stupid. That Universe doesn't have much in the mass communications department either."

"How irritating," Yamiken remarked. "Well. If it works, it works. I'll expect I'll give it... say... two months by their time. I think that's generous enough. If he hasn't made himself known by then, I'll have to reevaluate my options."

Omni leaned his chin on his right knuckles. "If nothing else works...I'm sure you could just show off your aura. It would get his attension. Whether he comes to meet you or not, is his decision." He paused momentarily. "Well. I perosnally think he'd come find you, since he'd consider you a threat." he mused. "There's only room for one antagonist in that Universe."

Yamiken answered, "Yes... I imagine that would work. Of course, that would also reveal more about me than I'd like... unless..." A thought had suddenly occured to him. "Unless I could distort it somehow. Perhaps using my portion of the crystal somehow." He continued to turn this thought over in his mind.

Omni smiled. "A very good plan. Aura masking is an intermediate ability, and changing your aura is usually even harder. Your crystal should facilitate things greatly."

"Very good," replied Yamiken, greatly pleased. "It would seem that that would be a wise course of action to use immediately." He began making plans to return to Terra Prime...

Omni shifted to his left knuckles. "Are you going to drop by their base? Or are you just going to go straight to finding Toraken? I would go with the latter, myself." Meeting as less people as possible usually made his life easier.

"And I can see why," remarked Yamiken, recalling the attitudes he'd encountered at said base. "But I think I will drop by there first - to speak with Belak if nothing else. It will be useful to know the extended fallout of my actions. I'm not aversed to a risk if appropriate, but it makes sense to have all the infromation possible before acting."

"I agree. Belak will supply you with any information you might need." He shurgged. "And Noah might help too. You never know." He put his hand down. "Well... I don't want to keep you any longer... So if there is nothing else you want to add..." He waited.

So if there is nothing else you want to add..." He waited. "If he would, that would be useful indeed," Yamiken mused, his expression showing he was deep in thought. "No, that will be all," he also told Omni somewhat absently. "Farewell." He cut off the transmission.

Omni's crystal turned dull again. "How inciteful! Ah to be young again." He laughed and put the crystal next to his music box. He went back upstairs to his workshop and began working on the gloves again...

The next morning, Yamiken appeared outside the fortress on Terra 000. Wasting no time, he strode into it, making for the main room.

Zeak stood by the entrance. He slid his sunglasses down on his nose and grinned when he saw Yamiken. "Yo." He called.
Noah opened an eye when he heard Zeak. "Eh, who's there, Zeak?"

Post by Mumiyoshi on Oct 27, 2008 18:13:03 GMT -5
Yamiken nodded to Zeak. "Morning," he answered smoothly. "Ah, feeling better, I see?" he then spoke to Noah by way of gretting and letting him know who it was, a slight smile playing across his face.
