Group Steel's journey through the Red Desert!

Sumaru found himself in a black bubble where it was so dark it was impossible to see. You could feel the bubble moving around in the air and then you could feel the velocity of it coming crashing down into land. The bubble where everyone in Group Steel was in popped. Sumaru almost landed face first into what seemed like a desert of blades. Sumaru pushed his hands outward so when he crashed into it his hands got cut and he then did a roll covering his head with his arms so they got cut and then he was on his feet after saving himself. Sumaru wasn't hurt that bad but his Pain Packer ability kicked in and he felt a bit stronger. He pulled a blade from out of his arm and tossed it to the ground. He then began to survey the area and saw that for miles there was only this sea of blades and on top of that the sun was beating down on everyone.

 Sumaru could feel some of the blades going into the sole of his shoe and penetrating his foot making him feel more pain which made him feel stronger. He looked to see who had came with him in the bubble and to his surprise he saw Vyrcetta the woman of this technology they had been told about. He also saw the hot-headed Dante and a woman he had not seen before.He then saw Frosch his little cat companion in a frog suit using his magic and flying. He flew over to Sumaru and sat on his shoulder not really understanding the situation. He let out a sigh and said "I guess were gonna be traveling together in this unknown land together..."

Dante looked around in this dark bubble but to no avail as it was pitch black. He was slightly caught of guard as the bubble pooped dropping him in this weird red desert. As he fell from the bubble he hit the ground and noticed the sand was different then most because it cut his skin on several places, "Oh god dammit." He looked around as the sun was beeming down on them, "Ahh this reminds me of hell, nice and toasty." He stuck Rebbelion in the ground so he could use it as leverage to pick himself up. He looked around to the group he was with and gave them all a menacing glare.

Sumaru turned to Dante seeing that the woman he did not know was talking to Vyrcetta. "So Dante it seems all of us may have to team up in order to get out of here... we can't do this without trust... and from your little outburst back at camp it seems you dont trust Concuclare..."

"I admit I can be a jerk at times but I apologize for that comment early. I realiz now that I was wrong and my ignorance is but a thing of the past." Behind this tuff bravado Dante would seem rational and somewhat intelligent. He would then turn to face  this mysterious lady, "I know you are angry but please don't take it out on her. If anything she and Xixas have saved us. Our energy should be put to something useful." Dante pulled Rebellion from the ground removing the dangerous sand from it and then placing it back into its sheath. "Now.... Where do we go from here?"

Sumaru had seen a side of Dante he never knew was there. It was a more civil side of Dante. Sumaru began to follow Vyrcetta and he had his silver dagger out just in case he would have to hurt himself to activate pain packer.

Something has changed in Dante his normal irra behavior just faded he felt relaxed and at peace and he liked it. He followed Vycretta apologizing to her as well for bashing Xixas.

Vyrcetta extended the lenses within her sensory conducts, leveling power for Iric scans. There was life ranging in Echo. However, Vyrcetta felt an Echo, perhaps two that extended above the potential fauna. Intelligent life? Vyrcetta had to gain with conversing with her party, leaving her to her own racing thoughts. The sun was nearing the end of its daily life, casting a sea of shadow over the desert. Vyrcetta could feel the approach of Echo.


(New addition to Desert may join now at any point).

Sumaru let out a sigh and looked up to the sky saying "I just hope Celest is okay... she could be anywhere right now..." Sumaru looked back to the ground and sighed once more.

Frosch was on Sumaru's shoulder and said "Fro thinks shes okay."

Dante continued walking forward. He felt as if something was off. He unsheathed Rebellion again but this time flinging it over his shoulder just in case he needed it. This heat from the sun quickly faded leavings Dante energized body to vecome cooler and less energized although definitely still at the peak of his power.

*Update* Prepare your characters for combat








Sh*t's gonna go down.

Sumaru was overwhelmed. If he had a heartbeat his heart would be racing the moment the metal shards began to fly. Sumaru looked around doing a full 360 to see that they were surrounded for miles. Sumaru looked to Dante first and said "Do not provoke them... if you do we will most likely die considering how many they are..." The ringing in Sumaru's ear got very painful and of course pain packer kicked in but in a bad way. His hearing got better so the painful buzzing intensified. Blood began to come from Sumaru's ear and he said kinda loudly but not loud enough to provoke the bugs, "Can we please do something about this...."

Dante heeded Sumaru's warning although it was very tempting to strike at at least one. He hated bugs and tge rining in his ears only fueled his anger. Reluctantly he sheathed Rebellion as a precaution and nudged Vycretta to attempt to get her to regain her composer. Now was not the time for her to frraking out. He also took note that the bugs couldn't enter the field Vycretta set that was reassuring and yet not in the least....

Sumaru's ears had began to bleed more as the noise began to grow louder for himself. Very loudly he heard a stranger say "Yo, Any of you got a light?" This caused Sumaru to feel even more pain. "Dont say another word..." Sumaru raised his hands to his ears shaking slightly saying "Please..."

Dante focused on the man who seemed to be fairing well against the bugs. He wondered what did these to beings have that allows the bugs to be propelled at any case he was glad that they had it. He looked over to Sumaru who had a severly difficult time with the noise. He remember hearing about his Pain Packer ability in a council discussion but never knew what it could do. At any rate Dante kept from talking as to not further damage Sumaru's hearing. If this didnt stop soon he would certainly go death.

Sumaru looked as all of the insects fell one by one. His ears stopped bleeding since there was no more buzzing. His hearing attribute began to die down since he was no longer in pain. He looked at the man and said "Thank you friend... If it wasn't for you I may have lost my hearing entirely. We were with a big group of people but then we were almost met with the hands of death when we were surrounded by a dark orb. A evil laughter could be heard in the background and then I guess we got transported here. I'm assuming this happened with the rest of the people."
