The Challenge From Beyond - Regroup

[cityship]

You're the ones who are good enough (or lucky) enough to be close to Escherville. You've had the good fortune to be scooped up and now you need to regroup and get ready to take on the Nightmare King himself. Time to reorganize and gear up as best you can with what you've got. The Nightmare King isn't going to wait for you.

Get moving.

_{((OOC: This is for the various groups/peoples who will be fighting the Nightmare King directly or assisting in that endeavor. If your character was in one of the Challenge from Beyond Groups, tag them in here! Feel free to do some tagging back and forth and enjoy yourselves. Please get tagged in by Tuesday night, March 2nd though, so we can get the Final Fight properly organized. ))}

"Ah the worst that would happen is that I'd sleep for another week," remarked Matt with a hint of a grin. "Besides, I'm glad I helped out as much as possible."

He rolled his shoulder, feeling the final threads of Healing pass by. "That should do it. My shoulder's back to normal. Caught some fire on it."

Aeneas gave a concerned raise of his brow.

“You are injured then?”

Not that he could say much else—with the usual ship medications starting to wear off, the alien wasn’t feeling much better. His weight was noticeably shifted onto his front legs.

"Just a wee bit, nothing to worry about." Matt presented his arm which had a torn sleeve and pink skin under it. "I healed it up but I'll get it looked at later. You on the other hand look like you need a boost."

Matt pointed his sword at Aeneas' feet and said, "Don't move, okay? Gonna give you the equivalent of a booster. Sharpness!"

Magic pooled around Aeneas' feet and it flared up around him. "That should increase your physical strength and accuracy in battle."

The creature blinked, cocking his head when he realized that things were starting to slow down a little bit. Or, more likely, he was speeding up. His vision cleared, his working legs became oddly springy—it was like gravity and light had changed their very composition, just for him.

Thank you, constants of science. Aeneas gave Matt a quick nod and a broad smile. It’d been a while since he felt this good…

Of course, now he had to return the favor. “Is there anything you need before we head out? This may be our last chance to gather supplies.”

Matt smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder. "Just a promise man. Promise me you'll make it out okay. That's all I ask for."

He grinned and flipped the shield. "Cause you know, we're about to go into battle with an uncharted enemy, into territories unknown. Thrall's people have a saying: Lok'tar Ogar. It means victory or death. I think this time we can go with the victory, and save the death for the Nightmare King. What say you bud?"

An affirmative nod, a dangerous grin that narrowed his eyes…Yes, Aeneas was prepared. He was prepared and he wanted to see this creature suffer. It was a new feeling, that one, and it wasn’t exactly unwelcomed.

“You can make sure I uphold that promise if we stick together,” the alien suggested, “Believe me. I will not let you out of my sight.”

And letting beings out of his sight was a difficult endeavor—he had three eyes, after all. If Matt went above him he’d still be able to keep track.

Matt grinned and patted his friend. "You got it. We'll stick together for as long as time allows. I also made a promise to Katara that we'll rescue Aang and I'm so going to keep that promise."

He smirked as he sheathed the sword and put up his shield. "Now all we do is wait for Kirk and Nanoha to get us all together."

Aeneas would’ve returned the gesture, but after seeing Matt’s torn shoulder he was rather hesitant to carry out that action. Instead he just gave him a knowing smile.

“You and I both—and I will not stop looking now. That human has been fighting long enough. He deserves a break, yes?”

"You betcha. We're going to smack this guy so hard, he'll fly back to the extra dimensional space that crawled out of." grinned Matt. "I think the Captain's trying to get us all together. Let's pay attention."
