video/action. backdated to 3/15

[beamsmagicalgirls]

[Some reason when the video turns on, 17 isn't standing still. In fact, while he's still facing the video on his phone, the background is bouncing to the air and back down as his hair lifts and drops. He's moving around.]

In case no one got the memo, Fayren's security is increased, got curfew up, and escorting people out of here if they wish so until this mess is taken care of. If anyone needs to be picked up, call me. There are people standing by in Genessia offering shelters, it's probably for the best to most.

[He continues to speak indifferently.]

That said, just--!!

[A sound of a growl from a young woman interrupts him. 17 increases his pace, scenes flashing from one to something completely different. If anyone can keep up with his speed, they could see between the sequence. Panic washes over the young man's face, his eyes widen for a moment as he moves his held phone up and away from him. People will catch a glimpse of a young woman with blond hair, similar hair cut, and the same sky blue eyes. There are metal plates planted on her cheeks, and she looks quite angry. She stands in a crater looking up, her prey already set to 17. The camera returns back to 17's, unaware he looks worry there.]



Stay inside.

[/Click. Hopefully people will get the idea. DO NOT GO NEAR THE BLOND.]

[Video--->Action my next tag?]

[Trunks is already moving as he gets the video-feed up. This is probably not the best idea, but he can't really do nothing. Seventeen isn't exactly his friend, but they were allies and getting along better than they ever had before in his or the other's world. Okay, they might be friends--but Trunks refused to admit it or recognize it.

In any case, the video-feed comes on and has Trunks in the air already.]

I admit, I was expecting something else from you for a nightmare. On my way to provide you back-up though.

[Considering how fast any background Seventeen can catch is speeding past, Trunks is going to be there soon.]

still video. action away!

[beamsmagicalgirls]

Are you sure that's even a good idea?

[17 likes to make that clear before Saiyan jumps in. Speaking of jump, 17 is dodging much as possible only. At least where he's going is less populated and more open field.]

action away!

[light_of_willpower]

You have a better idea? Or do you want to keep playing tag with a nightmare version of your sister.

[No, Trunks is not sure it's a good idea. BUT at least a nightmare 18 is not unexpected.]

Any objections to my making this quick?

[Welp--through the Fayren Archway and 17 should be able to sense him easily. Especially since Trunks just spiked himself up into Super-Saiyan 2. And while he can't sense 17 or 18 even when they're not nightmare-monsters, he can follow the trail of destruction easily.

Which means hopefully that he can take out nightmare!18 quickly. It won't solve the problem, but it'll buy them time.]

[beamsmagicalgirls]

I don't know, maybe your nightmare will want to join in.

[Dryly sarcastic.]

Whatever, sure. Fine. I'm leading this thing away.

[Meanwhile, someone didn't like what he said, 'Thing!'. Another shout of 'Lapis!' is audible before the feed finally cuts off.

17 still can't sense energy nor was he looking for Trunks at the moment. He's occupied with his own problem and it's this bad cyborg version of 18, with one eye glowing red behind her light blue eye color. She had more metal than skin showing, as if someone pieced together human parts and metals.

Some trees were knocked down, and craters left in nightmare!18's wake. 17 was on the ground, facing her, while trying to keep his ground. With 17 limited on energy now, he pants a couple breaths, trying to keep himself stable while 18 doesn't seemed phased by the spent energy at all. She began to move, closer and closer to the other twin.]

[light_of_willpower]

[Yeah, that is a possibility. But it's a necessary risk, considering normal 18 could be 'bad enough' so to speak. A nightmare version of her, even just targeting only her brother? Still dangerous for collateral damage.

If Trunks was lucky, he could get in--help 17, then get back out of Fayren before whatever was going on got to him.

Fortunately, as big as Fayren was, the nightmare-cyborg wasn't making it hard to find her. Following the trail of destruction, at the fastest he can go--and that version of 18 was a nightmare. Definitely more machine than anything else, and Trunks' eyes narrowed.

She was also too close to 17, who shouldn't be down--but then again he was no longer had limitless energy. Time to strike fast and hard. Hand moving up to the hilt of his sword over his shoulder, Trunks didn't bother to slow his speed.]

Seventeen, MOVE!

[Because Trunks is moving in fast and quick, slicing at the nightmare-18 to make it easier, before pulling one hand back and charging up his ki in a close-blast. Hopefully enough to vaporize the monster; probably a few trees as well. sorry about that]

[beamsmagicalgirls]

[Dammit Trunks NOT THE TREES.]

Wait Trun-!

[17 tried to protest before the Saiyan rushed in, which was futile, so he jumped up to the air and out of the way instead.

The machine jumped back first when Trunks drew his sword down, avoided the blow, barely. As for the ki-blast, she had no choice but took it head on. 17 held his breath, waiting for the cloud to clear.]

'Lapis.'

[17 froze when he heard the name. After the blast, the cyborg machine still lived, covered in dust and bruises so there were some damage but not enough. The monster cyborg looked up to 17 ignoring Trunks completely, rage slowly building.]

'Why. Why couldn't you stop it! We're monsters!'

[The nightmare pushes herself off the ground charging back to 17 again. This time 17 is countering every physical blow while trying to fight back as well.]

'If only you weren't so stupid! It's your fault I'm like this!'

Lazuli. I'm sorry. I couldn't--

[BAM! Nightmare!18 connected a side kick to 17's side which sent him back to the ground. Hard.]

[light_of_willpower]

[Damnit, this would be one of the stronger nightmare-monsters. Trunks honestly wasn't sure how much more Seventeen could handle without being able to sense his energy. As much as they were training Seventeen to manage his stamina without his endless energy, physical signs only told Trunks so much.

The one advantage he has is that nightmare!18 is focused on her brother, not him. And that impact from 17 sounded like it hurt, but Trunks needs to stay focused. A "Tch" of annoyance before he's moving to tackle the nightmare-monster, going to grapple and pull her away up in to the air.]

Still awake there, Seventeen?
