Captain Arrowguns

Sounds good to me! Due to her reckless and ruthless combat style, Amber would work best blazing a trail for the others in the front.

Jasper Jasper finished off his peach and glanced at the bag Sanya had given him before she exploded. [Well, I might as well find out what's in this thing.] he thought. Inside was some clothes, neatly folded, along with a locked chest. For a moment, Jasper thought about discarding the cloths and just keeping the bag for carrying things, and the chest for unlocking later. But then he remembered something. Sanya had given him the bag telling him she'd need it later after she chose to sacrifice herself them. Could that mean she planned on surviving the explosion, and then use the spare cloths to redress herself? [but that means she could be alive!] he thought. He wanted to tell his teammates, but decided it was best not to put their hopes up in case he was wrong. Instead, he put everything back the way it was, and filled it even more with some fruit and bandages. He then looked at what everyone else was doing. [Well, since we're together now, I should probably start getting to know some of the Platinum Team members.] he thought, and walked over to Varion, "Nice to meet you Varion." he said, extending his hand for Varion to shake, "So, did the Kamyn give you much trouble yet?" he asked the Alchemist. Amber "Thank you, but I think I'll be okay. I just need to walk it off." Amber said to Cornelius. Fortunately, her ankle didn't seem to bad, and would probably be fine soon. She then noticed Drale standing next to her, and heard what he had to say. It was then she realized something. Ever since they entered the cave, all of them have done all they could to show off what they could do around the others, despite it probably being best to conserve their strength to some extent. Whether they were doing it to impress their teammates, the Kamyn, or themselves was unclear, but it seemed everyone was doing it, herself included. "Don't worry about it, I think everyone's trying to be the hero of the group." she then glance towards the others, "Now if only we could learn to work together..."

Don't be surprised if Kinzuko's as insane and murderous as Sylar when you return. All right, sounds good. Enjoy your trip!

Jasper "Well that was... intense." Jasper said as the door to a room full of supplise opened up. Jasper summoned his blade, stepped inside, and grabbed a tasty looking peach. He then noticed the Platinum team waking in, followed by Kinzuko's cheery introduction of herself. She was keeping her composure pretty well, but Jasper knew she was nervous. How could she not be? The strange part was, even after what she'd done to this group of people, Jasper honestly believed she only did what she did because of the curse, and he hopped the Platinum team wouldn't find out the truth. Fortunetly, there were still six of them, which meant they all survived. For now, he dicided to ignore that the whole thing had happened. "Hey there. I'm Jasper, and we're the Silver team. Well, what's left of it that is. We lost one of our team mates not too long ago." he said, glancing at Sanya's bag still slung across his shoulder. [sanya, if only we could save you...] he thought, and bit into his peach. Amber Even at point blank range, Amber wasn't even burnt by the figures heat waves. However, resisting the powerful blasts of heat reverted Amber back into her normal form, sent her flying backwards, causing her to twist her ankle on the way down. As she got up, she heard Cornelius's harsh comment, "I'm sorry, I just... I'm sorry." she said, regretting what she'd said. Amber then limped over to the grove, gritting her teeth to avoid crying out in pain and seeming weaker than Sandrew, and sat down in in the grove, her back against a tree.

You guys are seriously jumping the gun about Palutina. Just because she sounds OP doesn't mean she is OP. At least play as her one time before you all start complaining.

Stan and Lee "Hmm... now that you mention it, there is." Lee told Ryonne, "It appears there's a secret testing chamber not terrably far from here. I can't tell what's in there without taking the time to read through the data we've collected, but since we have time, we might as well find out." Lee said, and began leading the way to the chamber, with Stan following close behind. Clara Clara landed the ship on the landing pad, and opened the hatch. "Excellent, you're all ready to go, I see." she then smiled at the scholar, "Hey Quincy, good to see you. You too Thet." Clara looked at the stranger standing nearby, "Hi there, are you a new member? I'm Clara, the Decolor's medic. What's your name? Braxen and Penny Braxen exited the corridor of light in his room at The Crimson Cutlass, an Inn in Port Royal. Braxen and Penny saved the owner's life once, so he repayed them by giving them both rooms of their own at the inn for cheep. "Ugh, what a day." Braxen said, left his room and went to Penny's room to see if she'd made it back yet. But right before Braxen knocked on her door, the door swung open, nearly hitting him in the face. "Hey, watch it! I'd like to keep my nose the way it is!" he said to Penny as she closed the door behind her. "Sorry Brax, but we've got to go. I just saw a ship appear out of nowhere from my window. It looked like it was neutral, but we'd better check it out anyway. Something tells me there's something good inside that thing." Braxen smiled, nodded and followed her out of the inn, and to the ship.

You know what, why not? With the release of Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS fast approaching, I thought I'd make a list of the top ten newcomers, not necessarily in order, that I want in the upcoming SSB games. Keep in mind that each character has to have at least a small chance of making it in for it to be on this list. I'll also put what game they originated next to the character. Paper Mario- Paper Mario (Considering there are four different Paper Mario games, it's not a streach to predict that he'll be in Smash Bros.) Ravio- Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (I loved this guy in Link Between Worlds, and I think he'd be a great playable. He could use the weapons he sells and rents to Link to fight, and if he were in SSB, he'd probably be one of my mains.) Groose- Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (I know evoryone wants Girahim in Smash Bros, but I don't like that guy, so I'm putting Groose in here instead. He could use a combination of his bruit strength and swordsmanship in battle.) Shovel Knight- Shovel Knight (I know this game's new, but from what I've seen, Shovel Knight would be an amazing fighter, and it'd be great for Nintende to show some love for it's eshop games in Smash Bros.) Black Mage- Final Fantasy (As much as I'd love to see Sora in Smash Bros, I think most of us can agree that won't be happening. However, if there is a Square-Enix fighter in SSB, it'll probably be the Black Mage, since it's so iconic, originated on the NES, and has been in some Nintendo games in the past. Cranky Kong- Donkey Kong Country (Because really, who doesn't want to beat people up as an elderly ape with a cane?) Chrom- Fire Emblem: Awakening (Of all of the characters in this list, this is the only one that seems to be almost guaranteed. The question is, how would his move set be different from Marth's?) Wigglytuff- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness (Yes, I'm talking about the Guild Master Wigglytuff, not the normal Pokemon version. I know he probably won't appear, let alone be a playable character, but seriously, the Mystery Dungeon games deserve more love. He could play like Jigglypuff, except with a little extra power.) Hades- Kid Icarus: Uprising (I know he would have to be seriously nerffed, but come on, SSB needs more villains, and what Nintendo villain's better than Hades?) Wonder Red- Wonderful 101 (I've never played Wonderful 101, but from what I've seen, this guy would be a great addition to Smash Bros.) So what do you guys think.

Jasper "You've got to be joking!" Jasper shouted as the spider-bot's legs came down towards him. He didn't have enough time to switch into his pulse boots, or to jump safely out of the way, giving him only one option, other than standing around and hoping someone else would save him. Jasper jumped in the direction of the spider-like mech, and with a flurry of sword slashes, cut through enough of the creatures legs to get through to the creatures underside. Jasper pointed his trusty longsword at it's belly, and mentally prepared himself as well as he could for plenty of pain. Amber Amber watched as the spearman of light charged towards her and threw his spear at her, followed by both Ferro and Cornelius swiftly coming to her aid. Under normal circumstances, she would be incredibly grateful, and would meekly thank the both of them. But in her dark form, all she saw were two people who saw her as helpless, and came to rescue her before she even had a chance to rescue herself. Needless to say, that didn't make her happy. "I'm not damsel!" she shouted, before shoving Cornelius out of the way, charging at the figure of light, and giving it a bone crushing right hook to the temple.

Hmm... perhaps. It probably won't happen, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's revealed Riku has romantic feelings for a female character, although I doubt they'd make a big deal about it. If they do though, it'd probably be Xion, if I had to make a guess. They already know each other, which means they wouldn't have to spend too much time establishing their relationship. Besides, it just seems to me like their personalities work together pretty well. Riku's biggest problem is that he's kind of a dark and gloomy loner, and I think Xion's upbeat nature and the way she cares for others could help bring him out of his shell. Xion's biggest problem, meanwhile, is her lack of self confidence, something that will probably be even greater in KHIII, considering that she now knows that she was created from other people's memories, the memories of someone else entirely. I feel Riku would be able to help her gain self confidence. Now, do I want them to become boyfriend and girlfriend in KHIII? Of course not! But I wouldn't mind if they develop feelings for each other in the upcoming game.

I reccomend you play FFIX. It's a pretty great game with an interesting story, good gameplay, and amazing characters. You should be able to get it on the PS store for only ten US dollars (not sure how much it is in other currencies). Plus, from what I've heard, it was made with the intent of winning back the FF fans that didn't like the more science fictiony atmosphere and dark depressing tone of FF VII and VIII.

(Oops, I kind of did. Sorry about that, I'll change my last post, but I'm still having Amber go into shadow form and blazing ahead. We need to keep things moving and all.)

You sure? Darn, I was kind of hoping the Silver and Platinum teams could join. I think it'd be interesting to see how the Platinum team treats the Silver trio after what just happened between them.

Jasper "Never mind, let's talk about this later." Jasper said when he noticed the mess Tristan had gotten himself into. At first, he chose to sit back and see if this guy was as tough as acted. But after all three spiders went nuts and started shooting at Tristan's head again, Jasper decided it was time to intervene. He summoned his longsword Blighter, and charged at the nearest robotic spider. "Remember Tristan, we're a team, and in order to have any hope of surviving this place, we need to take full advantage of that fact." Jasper said, before jumping in front of the four legged creature, cutting off it's two front legs, and slashing through the laser on it's head as it came down towards him before it could react. Amber "Uh, thanks." Amber said to Ferro when he slashed off the shadows that were surrounding her. [Wow, he must be quite the swordsman to cut through those shadows without even touching me. But now it's my turn to help my teammates.] she thought, and then noticed Sandrew lighting up the area around them. [Well, at least Sandrew's willing to help the team. I was getting kind of nervous about him for a bit.] she thought, and then came to a realization. She didn't like using her shadow form, but they were going pretty much nowhere, and the team needed someone that wouldn't be stuck dead in their tracks if the light around them dissipated again. "Follow me!" she shouted to her fellow climbers, as a different kind of darkness began to cover her body, filling her with incredible strength and rage. Oddly enough, she could only see a couple of yards around her, probably since this darkness was artificial, but it was better than nothing. She charged ahead and made the first left, only to run strait into a dead end several yards later. Seemingly unfazed, dark Amber turned around and went the other direction, shouting to her teammates, "Don't go that way!"

True, although unlike most color variations, this one has different patterns, such as the stripes on his pants and shirt, so that's cool.

Has anyone else noticed that both Little Macks shown in this picture are wearing alternate costumes. That brings his alternate costume count up to three.

Stan and Lee "Almoast done with that?" Stan asked his brother. After about the twelfth guard, he was starting feeling out of breath. "Just a moment..." said Lee as he finished downloading the files. Stan nodded, and smacked another guard with the blunt side of his blade, sending him through a wall. "...alright, I'm finished." Lee said about thirty seconds later, and pocketed the hacking device. "Ryonne, you're the guide here, which way now." he asked. Now that their objective was done, he just wanted to get out of this castle and see if the information they gathered was worth all of the trouble they underwent to attain it.

Jasper Jasper expected Kinzuko to fight back, or come up with some half baked excuse on why she endangered six other lives, or perhaps a monologue revealing her true evil colors. What he didn't expect was for Kinzuko to curl into a ball and break into tears. As she began to move, Jasper reluctantly moved Silver Serpent away from her neck, and when she began to explain why she did what she did, it actually made sense. After all, she did seem pretty different shortly before she sent magic into the orb. So, he unsummoned his weapon and held out his hand to Kinzuko to help her up. "All right, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I believe you. There's no way Tristan and I are gonna make it through here alive on our own, and I'm not sure we'd be able to find any of the other groups even if we tried, which means we need your help. Ready to keep going?" he asked.

(Woah, things just got intense.) Jasper The ink mage was certainly surprised when Kinzuko activated the orb. In the short time he'd known his teammates, he expected to get along the best with her. Sadly, that wasn't an option. For whatever reason, Kinzuko risked the safety of the mission and the lives of six people, apparently without a second thought. Sadly that meant she couldn't be trusted, which meant she had to be dealt with. Jasper summoned Silver Serpent, and caused it to encircle Kinzuko's neck, only two inches from her flesh. One wrong move, and he'd tighten the loop, decapitation his teammate. Sure, she could manipulate mettle, but since his weapon was enchanted, she wouldn't be able to control it... probably. "Explain." he said coldly.

Jasper Before the image of the Platinum team vanished, he counted six. [so, they havn't suffered a loss yet. Good for them.] Jasper thought. He didn't like the sound the Kamyn's proposal, but Tristan had a point. And that wasn't all. "Sorry Kamyn, but that's not gonna happen, or at least not from me. There's three of us, and six of them. Risking their lives for our own would only hinder the mission. Besides, we'll probably all die here anyway, so we might as well make sure thos deaths have a point to them." Jasper said. He then eyed Kinzuko, wondering what she was thinking. She was the only one not to speek yet, and although she didn't seem like the selfish type, he knew he could be proven wrong. Amber "I... I'll take the lead." Amber said. She was far from a natural leader, but they had to keep moving, and no one was volunteering to lead. Amber faced the entrance to the labyrinth, took a deep breath, and walked inside, motioning for the others to follow.

Jasper Jasper began running down the tunnel, but stopped when he didn't hear the others behind him. He turned around to see the others using their powers to try and secure the door. Between the shock of leaving an ally for dead and feeling helpless to protect himself or the others from the incoming fiery explosion, he forgot to take into account how the others could prevent the kerosene from even being lit in the tunnel. The hatch itself he knew had no chance of withstanding the explosion, but between Kinzuko fortifying it with her ingots, and Tristan being ready to deal with whatever fire made it through, Jasper felt they had a chance. He wasn't to fond of Tristan absorbing the fire, considering fire absorption got them into this mess, but as long as he could get rid of the energy without blowing up, he had no complaints. If there was one thing he hated though, it was that he couldn't think of any way to help his teammates. [Well, this better work.] he thought.

(All right, so looking back on the situation, Tristan's plan would make perfect sense, if it wasn't for Sanya. Because she had to buy time for Tristan to enact his plan, she absorbed too much energy, turning her into a ticking time bomb. Sure, she'll come back, but no one except for Sanya knows that. Also, because the kerosene is in the tunnel now, and the explosion will go off near the entrance of the tunnel, the fiery explosion caused by the kerosene will have nowhere to go except for straight towards Jasper, Tristan, and Kinzuko. That said, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Everything should turn out all right in the end, and although I can't speak for Oathkeeper's character, I can say that Jasper will quickly forgive Tristan for his mistake, understanding that he meant well, and just made a simple mistake. Also, I'm sorry for having Jasper react so harshly to Tristan's plan. Hopefully this won't make you think too negatively towards this RP.)

(Yeah, let's not do that.) Jasper Jasper was ready to strangle this guy. First, he doesn't bother to talk to them for the entire trip up here, and then he enacts his entirely stupid plan without asking anyone else what they thought about it. Not only did Sanya pretty much turn into a ticking time bomb buying time for this guy to move the kerosine, but now, once Sanya blew up, the kerosine would explode, and the resulting fiery explosion would have nowhere to go except through the tunnel, straight at them. And of course, they didn't have time to move the kerosine either, leaving them with only one option, "Come on guys, we need to move!" he shouted to Kinzuko and the other guy, and then turned to Sanya, "I'm sorry, but this is all I can do for you." he said, summoned Recompense, and began using its magical powers to Sanya a boost of strength. It wasn't much, since since he didn't know her very well, but it did give her a bit more energy, so that she could buy them more time. Jasper hated the idea of leaving an ally behind, but couldn't think of how to save her. Jasper then jumped through the trapdoor, motioned for the others to follow him, and ran as fast as he could down the tunnel.

(Oh, okay. Never mind then.)

Stan and Lee Stan threw his smoke bombs at a group of Light soldiers, blinding them, and pulled out his sword. He then charged into the vortex, spinning like a tornado and sending guards flying as he nailed them with the side of his blade. Unlike most of his comrades, Lee wasn't very fond of killing common soldiers, even if they were keyblade wielders. Meanwhile, a stray guard made it past Stan and Ryone, and charged at Lee. "You two really need to work on your protection skills. Firaga!" Lee said, and a large ball of fire was sent right into the poor soldier's face. The man screamed as the orb of flaming death engulfed him, but it didn't really bother Lee. He was used to loud noises by now, and he simply continued hacking into the database. Clara It didn't take Clara long to find a ship and get off world. Once she was in space, she set the warp drive for Twilight Town, and began to wonder what Quint had waiting for her there. [He probably has a new recruit or two with him. Maybe Thet and Rho too, since they haven't come back yet. Either way, it was kind of nice being able to help her teammates out in other ways than just checkups and patch-ups. Besides, she liked being around Quincy. In a team filled with revenge obsessed assassins, it was nice to have a level headed voice of reason around. "Shouldn't be long now." she said, as the gummi ship shot into warp.

(Um, both Jasper and the shield are in the other room of the house now.)
