trans_9 | Rage awakened [closed]

Darting back from the blade, Ben shifted seamlessly from Four-Arms to Diamondhead and met the angry Osmosian head on with his own arm shaped into a long club. "Hold on Devlin, I'll calm you down no matter what it takes," grunted Ben as he made to clash with the other titan.

Devlin had to struggle against Diamondhead. His own strength was pretty significant, but Ben had a few more years on him and a full Petrosapien form. That would normally be enough to settle a fight, and it had been back home, forcing him to retreat.

But Devlin did have one thing on his side: complete madness. Without any regard for his own safety, he continued to charge, swiping and thrusting at Ben, forcing them closer and closer to the park.

Forced backwards from Devlin's mad swings, Ben made to parry the wild swings, hoping to knock him off balance or something similar. He needed to be forced back and it was gnawing on Ben's conscience that he was beating on an opponent less skilled and 100% crazier than he was.

Nura's sitting far away on a bench on the far side of the park. She's curled up in the corner of the benchm, with the Calnus diagnostic pad open in her lap. She thumbs through the pages upon pages, bringing her legs up beside her on the seat, resting her left arm against the arm of the bench.

But this peaceful study is interrupted by the ground suddenly shaking.

Startled, she almost drops the diagnostic pad.

"What the sprock was that?"

Maydril, if asked, would say she had no precognitive abilities. She had heard other drow tell stories about them, of course. There were handmaidens and priestesses in the Temple who had possessed them.

So what, precisely, had her jogging in the park in that very moment? She could not honestly tell you. Nor could she say why she had chosen to do it fully armed and armored.

The clash of titans, unseen to her, throws her off her feet, and there's a clattering of metal as she rolls and manages to right herself. It's an unladylike word in Drow that she spews, though. Luckily her ship-mom doesn't know that language...

For the moment, May leaves her sword where it is, scanning the park for the disturbance.

The disturbance would be Devlin, hitting back at Ben with a flame-covered fist. He barely seemed to feel the blows Ben dealt in self-defense--they just fed the fire.

"You--you never...you treat me like I can't do anything," Devlin insisted. He'd already made this point before, but it was getting harder and harder to concentrate. Speaking coherently was already going out the window. "I can do more than you think!"

"Like I'd intentionally put you down Devlin, you know as well as I do that you can take care of yourself!" shot back Ben as he deflected the flaming fist.

Ducking under, there was a flash of green light as Ben shifted to Spidermonkey, and fired a mass of webbing at the enraged kid. "Settle down!"

Nura has flown over the source of all the commotion. Floating above, she sees what the ruckus is about, and immediately a panic overtakes her, followed by plan and precision.

She descends to the ground, narrowly missing extra webbing. "What the sprock has gotten into you two?" Motherly tone makes its presence known.

May managed to catch Nura pass her overhead, and arrives precisely moments after. Just in time to hear the question momma asked.

Well, if that doesn't break it up, Maydril doesn't know what will. She'll just do her best to look mature (and worried) a few feet back.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, that didn't break it up. Devlin was in no condition for the Mom Voice to work on him, and he just kept mindlessly attacking Ben, lost in his rage.

Hikari didn't know what to think, really. All she knew was that she was hearing fighting, and the ship wasn't stopping it.

So there Hikari was, flying on Nefertimon... to see Devlin and Ben fighting each other. "Devlin! Ben! What are you two doing!?"

Nura turns her head at the sound of a newcomer. Is this that girl that Devlin was talking about? "Obviously something that we have no clue about," she says dryly. She doesn't have enough wits about her to really take in the creature Hikari is flying upon.

"Well if anything violence needs to be done now!" exclaimed Ben as he ducked around and shifted to Cannonbolt before spinning out to tackle Devlin to the ground.

Devlin hit the ground, but he immediately kicked Cannonbolt off him before springing to his feet once again. He didn't seem to notice Nura, May, or Hikari around as he blasted fire without abandon.

"DEVLIN! STOP!" Hikari shouted, although it was obvious that he wasn't going to listen to her.

"If Pegasmon were here, we could hold him back," Nefertimon commented.

Hikari frowned. "Well he isn't here so we need to try something!"

May barely had time to blurt out a shield invocation before the bright blue energy shimmered into place and the fire washed over it. If she hadn't, that would have hurt.

"What in Elee's name is going on here?" she finally found voice to ask.

The others' voices weren't reaching Devlin, or at the very least, they weren't doing much good against the illness.

He blasted fire again, this time going with much more force, intent on throwing the others aside.

"He's got nuts, try to restrain him!" exclaimed Cannonbolt as he curled up and bounced up into the air, soaring downwards in an attempt to piledrive him.

"That seems to be difficult," Nura shouts over the noise, but dives down from the air and flies around the two boys. She searches for a weak point that she can exploit.

Hikari sighed, pulling out a magical card and holding it between her fingers. "Adeat!" she shouted, the card glowing and soon enough, she was dressed in her pactio clothing (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/Pactio/hikaripactiocopy.png) again, before she jumped off of Nefertimon.

She sighed, flying up above and behind Devlin and throwing her arms forward, shooting a small beam of magic towards him.

Her shields lasted just long enough for Devlin's fire to lick against them and dissipate harmlessly before they shimmered away into nothingness.

"I will not be put down so easily!" Maydril shouted, though she still did not draw her sword. "I do not want to harm you, Devlin, but you leave me little choice!"

Half of that was bluster. The rest was cover, as she entered the mental state required to cast a diagnostic Life spell. She'd heard about the virus, but Maydril wasn't certain of her ability to affect it.

As she waited for the first spell to take effect, she crafted another--this time a Psi-laced suggestion--weren't you getting so very tired after this tantrum, Devlin? Didn't you just want to go to sleep? If it were successful, it would knock him right out. If not, with any luck, it still might leave him just a bit dazed.

Maydril whispered a murmured prayer to Elee. Please, just let this work!

Devlin felt dizzy all of a sudden as the spells hit him. He shook his head, as if trying to clear it. He felt a little out of it...

But he was still getting hit by Ben and Hikari, and that only brought the anger back. Seeing Nura and Hikari flying over him, he went into the air, swiping at them and hitting Nura in the head.

[Permission given]

"Nura!" exclaimed Ben as he saw the attack connect. Turning towards Devlin he inhaled... and swapped aliens. "Watch my back!" he called out to May and Hikari as he leaped backwards to get some room.

Shifting back to Spidermonkey, he bit out, "I don't want to do this Devlin but you've forced our hand. You're going to calm down one way--" And he clicked the Omnitrix on his chest as it changed form. "Or another!"

Slapping it, his body grew up and up as he shifted form, changing from a lanky primate to a hugely muscled gorilla-like creature with six legs sprouting from the sides of his body as he stood up on it. "ULTIMATE SPIDERMONKEY!" roared the Ultimate as his jaws split open like a spiders mandible.

Ladies? This was your chance to go EEEEW. Don't waste it.

Hikari blinked, flying up and waiting to see what happened after Ben fought against Devlin in this new form.

Maydril made quite the face--was that vomit? It was an unusual series of grimaces that crossed her features--first horror, then disgust, and then a little panic as she realized Nura was down.

She drew the two-handed sword from its sheath on her back and ran to where Nura lay, tumbling into a sort of ready stance over the prone woman, blade readied.

"I hear you, Ben," she called. "I will protect Nura. Do what you have to!"

Devlin brought his crystal arm up, partially cutting through the webbing that came at him. But it was too gummy and sticky to cut through completely, and his arm ended up coated in it, making the weapon useless.

Of course, reason didn't mean much to a rage-infected zombie kid, and he charged at Ultimate Spidermonkey.

Ultimate Spidermonkey wasn't going to give Devlin a second chance at knocking him down. Throwing himself forward, he brought his shoulder up in a classic textbook Football tackle. Digging his six legs into the ground, he threw himself forward.

"Help me bind him!" called out Ben moments before impact.

Hikari blinked. "But I don't have any binding magic!" she shouted, flying around again as Nerfertimon stayed back... but she could...

She concentrated, moving her hands down to point at Ben as she focused on using her powers to increase his strength so he could hold Devlin down.

Maydril stuck the hilt of her sword under one arm, so she could gesture at Devlin, calling upon the meditation required for Psi magic once again.

This time, she poured a good deal more of her magical capacity into the spell. She'd had the luck to daze him before--hopefully, this time, she'd affect him a bit more than that.

"Elee!" May cried, invoking the name of her goddess as her spell went off. "Strike now, Ben! Strike true!"

That really hit Devlin now, and he staggered backwards, caught between the intense energy caused by the illness and the equally intense exhaustion caused by the Psi suggestion.

He couldn't keep his concentration anymore, and he stopped attacking.

Ben felt the power surging through him and he cocked back a fist. "Sorry Devlin, this is for your own good. You're going to take a little nap now. Your dad would do the same for me."

Hikari's buff spun around his arm in a series of digital rings as he crouched low as he reared back. "Falcon...."

Somewhere Captain Falcon sneezed.

"PAAAUNCH!"

Ben's fist flew towards Devlin's gut with a resounding krackle-thoom and a noise much like a screaming dial up modem.

The punch hit home, and for a moment, Devlin couldn't breathe. Without meaning to, he shifted back into human form, still stunned as he managed to get a few shaky breaths in, but the trauma and the Psi magic took their toll, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Hikari's eyes widened a bit as she flew down over to Devlin, moving to wrap her arms around his unconscious body, not even bothering to shift out of her pactio form.
