Out of Control [Open]

This was the first time Sho was using the sensorium for himself. Something had been bugging him ever since he woke up on the ship, and it was time that he addressed it. He'd been working on a simulation and it was time to use it.

Sho stands atop a living ship, shaped like a giant seed, floating over the destroyed Cronos base. It was just as he remembered it. There was Guyver III, the Zoalords, and above them was Archanfel. He found himself watching the scene that was taking place, pulled from his memories. The two Guyvers fired their mega smashers at Archanfel. The beams hit and then...

...now he remembered. The beams warped around, away from Archanfel, and redirected back at them. It blasted through the ship, obliterating it. Sho could see his and Guyver III's bodies disintegrating.

Visions of Mizuki and Tetsuro flashed before Sho's eyes. His only thoughts were to protect them and the rest of his friends on the ship. The white light engulfed him, and the simulation ended, leaving Sho standing there in a white void. He clenched his fists and his shoulders shook as the anger and sadness began to grow.

"God damn it, why..." He asks. "Why couldn't I have saved you." Sho is silent for a few minutes before looking up and shouting. "Sensorium! Load up every Zoanoid program!"

The scenery changes to that of a lake deep within a forest. All around Sho appeared every kind of Zoanoid he had ever seen, from Gregole to Razell to even those accursed Enzymes. He didn't care how many of them there were, or how much pain this simulation would put him through.

Sho charges at the first Zoanoid he sees, a Ramotith, and slices it in half right through the stomach with his high-frequency blades. He blasts a Vamore in the eyes with the head beam before it can get a shot off and then crushes it's skull with one hand.

Turning around, he sees an Enzyme closing in on him. Sho lets out a cry of rage as he throws a gravity ball at it, blasting its leg off. He wasn't done yet though. More zoanoids were closing in. Sho pulls open his mega smasher and fires at full force, wiping them out and all the scenery behind them.

Sho takes a moment to catch his breath before looking back up at the sky. "Again!" The zoanoids reappear, and Sho continues his simulated rampage, taking out all his fury on nothing, wishing he could have been stronger. The grass beneath him and the lake water soon turned red as more blood was spilled.

"CRONOS!"

(OOC: It's kind of gory under the cut.)

For a moment, Alastirra just stood in the Sensorium door with her mouth hanging open. Impressive. She'd certainly make her people proud, that way.

A moment later, there was a "thunk" as her totems sprang into existence at her mental call. Maces drawn, the shaman launched herself at the nearest creature that was besieging the armored knight.

As the elementally enhanced swings landed, the draenei let out a battle cry. "For the Naaru! For the Light!"

There was a little part of her that realized she'd missed this.

"Huh?" Sho's sensors react and he turns to see Alastirra there fighting Zoanoids. He is about to say something when he sees a Broiz coming up behind her. Sho leaps forward and beheads the monster before it can touch her.

"What are you doing here? This is dangerous." Sho tells her, forgetting for a moment it's only a simulation.

"Thank you!" She had sensed movement behind her, but the knight certainly seemed quicker than she was. Maybe it was the armor, or the still unfamiliar gravity of the ship. Or perhaps something about this place he'd recreated.

"If it is so dangerous, the same could be asked of you, eh?" Alastirra retorted. "No worse than the Lich King's minions. I am not afraid!"

"Hmmm..." Sho turns to take down a zoanoid with the sonic buster. Alastirra had already finished off the rest of them.

"I'm used to fighting these things. They're from my world. It's only a simulation though, so I guess there's no real danger." Sho tilts his head down and sighs sadly, examining the bloody battlefield.

"I almost wish it was real."

"Why is that?" She tilted her head, birdlike, giving an inquisitive look.

"Were you supposed to be training?" Alastirra wasn't about to say that she hadn't meant to interrupt, because she'd interrupt anyone who looked to her as if they were about to be overwhelmed.

"That is some very interesting armor, by the way." Such was the way her mind worked, bouncing from one thing to another.

Sho nods to Alastirra and the control medal on his forehead glows. "It is." The Guyver suddenly removes itself from Sho's body and he turns to face the draenei. Without the Guyver, she seemed to tower over him.

"It wasn't really training. I just needed to blow off some steam." The sensorium removes all the carnage from the area, returning it to the pristine lake in the forest. Sho rubs his temples.

"It's complicated. These things, they're part of a much bigger group called Cronos. I think...I think they killed my friends right before I was taken here." Sho frowns, gritting his teeth. "I wish I could have stopped them. I wish I could kill every last zoanoid."

The Farseer mused on that for a few moments. "You do realize that these beings are probably already dead, then?" A difficult thing to overcome. Many people hungered for vengeance. Alastirra sighed.

"I have been told that there is always a small chance that your friends could have been saved as well. That they might be down in the pods." That her family, or at least her brother could be there, asleep. That was her hold out hope.

"I do understand the blowing off of steam, though. These sensoriums are good for that. Were you not the one I spoke to on the comms, though? I did not recognize you, with the armor on."

"Yeah, I know. It was my responsibility though." Sho walks over near the water, grabs a stone and throws it, making a splash.

"I really hope that they are in those pods somewhere. It feels like everything I did was for nothing." H throws another rock, then stops to look back at Alastirra.

"Actually, I do remember you. You were asking about growing seeds, right? How did that work out? I guess it is hard to recognize me as the Guyver."

"I was. I have not made it down there yet, to Hydroponics. I have really only been to the Sensoriums once. So I decided to peek in again, and, well. Here we are." She lifted a shoulder in a shrug, and grinned.

"I am hoping to make a little garden of sorts, and then grow things there. I do recall offering you some peacebloom tea. I may have enough of that to spare some for tea in general." Though she had every intention of planting a good amount. There was always ink and paper making to be done, too.

"Oh yeah. Some tea would be good right about now." He starts to feel a little better and a smile slowly spreads over his face.

"You know, I got a room at the Atori Tea House in the city. Maybe they could serve Peacebloom tea there?" Sho suggests.

"I haven't very much now, but it is a fast-growing herb. So very likely, I certainly would not mind supplying such. I have not done a great deal of exploring, yet." Which is likely something she should fix.

"Of course I would not mind sharing what I had with you and your friends there."

"I'd have to ask Ren first, but I'm sure he'd say yes." Sho grins at Alastirra.

"Maybe you can stop by and we can all have some peacebloom tea."

"I had plans to go work on a garden, but I can certainly put that off for a little bit. I would not mind that at all," she said.

"Or, if you would like to help?" Alastirra felt that might redirect his energy to a more constructive path, perhaps.

"Okay, sure. I think I'd like that. I really wore myself out here, so I could use something a little more relaxing." Sho rubs his shoulders. Even with the Guyver, he had his limits.

Ronnae had been looking for a sensorium to train in, but so far most of them where being used for private relax time and fun. She didn't want to disturb them. Walking into this one however she frowned at the destruction within. She unstrapped Shadowmourne off her back just in case she needed to defend herself before she noticed the thing causing the destruction and overexerting themselves even if it was clear they could handle themselves.

She called out; "Be careful! These things can really hurt you even if they can't kill you!" She sounded sincerely concerned even if she didn't recognize what it was that was using the sensorium. Her black and red heavy plate gleaming in the midst of every explosion.

"Ronnae?!" Sho calls out as he slays one more monster. He quickly moves to her side and uses a gravity ball to defend them both from a Vamore beam.

"It's all just holograms, isn't it?" The pain did feel real enough, but so far nothing had harmed him badly. That was until the tail of an Enzyme struck him in the shoulder. Sho cries out in pain as its secreted blood eats at his armor, but he bears with it.

"I guess this wasn't such a good idea.."

Ronnae quickly spins around him, Shadowmourne already in full swing as it lands three hits consecutively on the Sho's assailant. She quickly moves in a protective stance over him.

"Yup, they might be made up, but the point of them is to train as if they where real using the users knowledge of whatever they are recreating. They'll hurt as much as the real thing, they just can't kill you."

She dispatches a few comers before looking over her shoulder, concern obvious even with her enhanced goggles on. "You okay Sho?"

The Enzyme quickly falls to Ronnae's blade. Sho gets back on his feet, his injuries already nearly healed.

"I should end this then. Get behind me." Sho says as he steps in front of her. He pulls his chest plates open and the mega smasher orbs light up. Sho waits until all the zoanoids are right in front of him and then fires. They are reduced to ashes, and the trees behind them are blown away.

Sho closes the mega smasher and turns back to Ronnae. "I guess I should have been more careful. I got too angry."

Ronnae looks behind him, amazed at the destructive power she witnessed before turning back at him. She gave him a warm smile; "It's alright, we all get like that right? You seem more than capable at handling yourself, but never overdo it. These things can get really nasty if you start overdoing it."

She quickly gets over her lecture and walks around Sho, poking at the armor, letting forth a shard whistle. "This your armor? This thing is amazing!" She smiles up at him.

"Right." Sho says with a nod. He blushes a little as Ronnae examines him. The control medal glows a bit.

"It is, isn't it? I don't think I've ever gotten a chance to really appreciate the Guyver armor. Seems like it's caused me nothing but trouble though." The armor's exhaust ports on his face let out a little steam.

"You really surprised me. I didn't realize you could fight so well."

Ronnae grins wide, sticking her tongue out playfully at him.

"Jus' cause I'm young doesn't mean I haven't seen my fair share of war.... Even one as atrocious as the last one..." She looked up, her youthful and usually chipper attitude now somber.

"In my world it's sort of a necessity." She smiles a bit dryly. "As much as my parents didn't force me to join, and kept me safe at home for most of my life. I couldn't jus' sit back and let them and the rest of the family risk their lives day after day... So I took it upon myself to train harder than anyone, to make up for my privileged life." She looked down a bit bashfully.

"Didn't take me crazy long to shoot up the ranks and end up face to face with one of the biggest villains to even plague my world..." She gazed at the ground trying to keep her composure.

Sho removes the Guyver armor, and is fades back into the boost dimension.

"Your world sounds like a tough place to live in." Sho places a hand on Ronnae's shoulder and smiles back at her. "I do feel a little better knowing that the people on this ship can protect themselves. So, what happened to the villain?"

Ronnae looks up and gives him an appreciative smile. She needed the friends and was very happy she had met him at Engineering.

"Well we defeated him... at great costs and it was by a miracle... But I couldn't be happier said miracle did happen." She smiled sheepishly.

"I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for that." She looked up at him, her goggles seemed a bit foggy, tho it wasn't apparent to anything in particular.

"I'm sorry if I made you dig up bad memories. But at least your here, alive and safe." He continues to smile, not quite noticing her goggles fogging up.

"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it some more? It's okay if you don't. Maybe we could do something else."

Ronnae smiles, she nods once. "Something else sounds just fine Sho. I would just need a moment to go place my armor and weapons back at crew quarters." She said a bit dully before shaking her head.

"Unless you're busy of course! I wouldn't want to take ya away from training or anything else you'd rather be doing." She smiles at him.

"Hey, don't worry about it. There's nothing else I need to do. I was just blowing off some steam." Sho says with a reassuring grin.

"What would you like to do?"

Ronnae looks up in thought; "I don't know what much is there to do completely on the ship to be quite honest." She smiled shyly. "I'm still new too. But I have heard of a couple of interesting places, like Hydroponics and the Drunken Dragon Tavern. I was also showed this faire like place called Awesome World. I think the person called it an Amusement Park."

Sho tilts his head to the side, curious.

"Awesome World? I've never heard of it." He places a hand on his chin. "Well, I haven't been to Hydroponics or Awesome World yet. Maybe we can go to Hydroponics first and then Awesome World?"

Ronnae smiled. "Sounds like a plan." She gave him a thumbs up. "I'll meet you in Hydroponics then after I'm done changing."
