Cursed

[Ash]

A bright green edge appeared at his beam sword,as he was in mid-air.The beam edge flickered and Ash wondered if the energy of the armor would be enough for his attack.

"Disappear!",he shouted as he was right above his enemy.

[tachyon]

Holding the knife in both hands the merc swung up and met Ash's attack. Electrostatic discharges flared and arced as the two blades met. Mustering his strength the stranger pushes and turns the blade, deflecting the blow to one side and enabling him to get out from under the attack. Looking at the knife in his hand he sees that it has been all but destroyed by the power of the beam sword (the knife, not his hand). He looks back at Ash. "Impressive."

[Ash]

Ash landed safely on his feet and turned around for the next attack.But suddenly a big message appeared on his HUD.

-Armor support-system disabled-

-Weapons disabled-

-Communication-system disabled-

-HUD disabled-

All informations he had seen just a second ago disappeared.Now he used all energy up.The red and blue colored parts of his armor changed into a dull tone and on top of that,the green flickering blade of his sword disappeared once and for all.The armor gained weight,thanks to the disabled support-system.At least it felt like that.Ash turned around slowly and wanted to fire the machine gun at his enemy.A *click* could be heard.
There were no bullets left...

"Well fought human." the stranger said "It has been a long time since someone has been such a match for my abilities. If your armour was not so underpowered, you may have even defeated me." He then did something totally unexpected; he crossed his right arm over his chest and bowed to Ash.
"I would be most honoured if you would give me your name."

[Machaeus]

Urufu snarls. "I still trust you less than the distance I can throw you."
"Leaves a lot of room for interpretation," Machaeus smirks.
"Not. Helping."

[tachyon]

The stranger, still bowing, glances sideways at Urufu. "That is most wise lycan. Never trust someone like me."

[Ash]

Ash laughed at Urufus comment.Maybe he was right.But what could the stranger do,if he only knew his name?If he stopped fighting,Ash would more than appreciate it.In this condition,Ash would be more victim than opponent for him.He took off his helmet,which was also pretty heavy,and looked at the person which bowed in front of him.

"Ash.Just Ash.Before this battle,I said that I don´t care who you are.But now I´m curious.Are you responsible for this strange feeling I had before you showed up?",he asked him as he wiped the sweat away from his face.

[tachyon]

"Kua'an Ash," He raised his head, "You are most worthy of the title. All of you." he looked around at the other two. "Kua'an Machaeus, Kua'an Urufu" he bowed to each of them.
"I am not surprised that you have not heard of me. Most who have are no longer of this world." He inhaled sharply, again the respirator made an eerie hissing-whirr noise.
"I have no true name. Only a designation: Xacio 555."
"That feeling you got, Kua'an Ash, was indeed me. I was testing your Armour. It made me... curious."

[Ash]

"A designation?Why don´t you have a real name?And why did you test my armor?",he asked him,shaking his head confused.

[tachyon]

"Those are questions for another time." Xacio said, after closing his eyes for a few seconds, he continiued, "I think it is about time to take our leave of this place." Sirens could be heard now, getting closer to the devestated EDF base. As the merc turned to leave he handed the destroyed knife (the one he used against Ash's beam sword) to Ash. "A trophy, for a battle well fought. May our paths and our blades cross again someday."
In a flash of light he was gone. (note: this is not some special ability, it a Personal Transporter Device (PTD), a one-way teleporter to a predetermined destination.)

[Machaeus]

Machaeus rips open a new wormhole, motioning for the others to follow.

[Ash]

"We will met again...im sure.And then I´ll show you the true power of the "dragon"-armor...",Ash mumbled before he gone through the wormhole created by Machaeus.

[Machaeus]

(so, that the RP's end?)

[Ash]

(I guess this is a good end for the RP.So,yeah for now,it´s the end.)

[tachyon]

(its like we ended it on a mysterious note, we sort of know who Xacio 555 is but i still kept his past a secret. pleasure working with u guys )
