Accelerator shook his head "..." He stayed silent for a while, and shut off the T.V. "tch... If the sisters don't even know that i'm on the red.... It must have a 'blind point' right?... I mean, the one that has been killing them since they started to go out entered their red and they don't even know.... What could happen if someone like me tries to hack the red and control them to destroy academy city?" He tough for a moment, and remained silent Kihara..... where should i be without you? He laughed cynically I've awakened a new power... and i can't even beat the real misaka... tch, just wait He grinned as he tough that

[Zorolo]

Fast as always. Direct as always. STill, no matter how many times they fought, the first attack was always almost the same. Her first moved like a rocket and connected with the broad side of his sword. A powerful shockwave launched Zorlo and his sword backwards, skidding on the ground wildly as he attempted to regain his footing. Still, Lily's speed allowed her to bridge the gap almost effortlessly. And as she stood face to face, he leapt backwards to avoid her next shockwave as she slammed her fist into the ground, creating a crater where she struck.

The two had trained day after day for months now, and even though he could predict these moves perfectly, he still couldn't bring himself to let the training start any other way. The swordsman drew his sword back and fired off a blade down a line towards the girl. With extreme agility, she leaped over the attack, the wave vanishing as if it had never been after it missed her, and began her next charge at him. Zorlo shifted sideways slightly, using the flat of his sword to separate the two of them as the next shockwave blew his body up and back slightly. His boots skidded along the ground, tearing more earth from its resting place as he resettled himself as prepared to strike again. Her next charger would start soon, and he had two line ready to strike from different sides.

"Get some!" he told her, smiling as he slashed, two green crescent waves rushing at her along two completely separate lines with a small lag for the second one behind the first. How would she react here?

[GamerKale]

Brink readied the blades and took a deep breath. The door blew in and Brink dropped to the ground, narrowly avoiding it. The man shouted, "BRINK!" "Hello father." He said in answer to Kurushimi's question he was seemingly calm, in reality it took a lot of effort not to ask Kurushimi to teleport them right then and there. It wasn't pride that stopped him, it was the fact that he knew things would be even worse later if he didn't make a stand now. The man closed the distance in an instant, and nearly took off Brink's head, but he managed to deflect the swords up; the force still knocked him to the side. Brink was totally defensive and his spasming seemed to almost help during the fight by making his movements less predictable. But his father was incredibly fast, almost teleporter fast, but with the momentum such speed provided. After several parries Brink was slammed into the MRI machine and he had a gash on his arm from a failed parry. He ducked under his father's folloow up attack, the blades cut deep into the machine itself and Brink threw the knives at the control panel's on switch. The MRI's powerful magnet trapped the katana and Brink swept the man's legs out from under him before he himself stumbled over to Kurushimi. That should buy me a good ten seconds. Hopefuly, he'll cool off and not kill me when I do get home. Or at the very least I should be in better shape to fend him off. "New plan. Let's run." His father was already back on his feet and nearly at the control panel by the time Brink finished the sentence.

[nekoryuuha]

Last Order smiled at him as he suddenly lost the power to verbally create sound, a restriction suddenly in place on his access to the Radio Noise network. "'Silly Accelerator, Did you forgot. I'm the Network Admin. Without me, control of the network is impossible,' replies Misaka Misaka proudly as she demonstrates on you," Last Order stated to him. She was correct after all. It was the reason she'd been targeted by both Amai Ao & Kihara in the past. If a 'Blind Spot' existed in the Radio Noise network, it was Last order herself. To the other Sisters, her order were Law.

Kurushimi was way ahead of Brink's plan as she steadied him when he stumbled to her. It was difficult, since she wasn't all that big or strong herself. "You know you shouldn't be fighting like this in your condition, right?" She said to Brink as his father spun back to his feet... and vanished as Kurushimi Move-Pointed him to the roof of the building across the street. It was good that she knew this area well, as it would take some time for him to return to the room. "My, my... You just seem to have the Devil's luck today, don't you?"Kurushimi said to him as she Move-Pointed the both of them and his things to a mostly empty bedroom and pushed him back on the bed. "There, you should be safe here for a while. Now rest up while I make this tea from you. Then, you're going to explain what that was about." She left no room for argument as she walked out.

Lily merely smiled as she watched the chest-high lines for a moment before taking off at them. Unlike Kurushimi, whom always seemed a few steps ahead, Lily simply bore strong instincts. Even now, she felt as though she knew were those lines heading and leapt high, using a shockwave as a spring board to launch her over the attack that suddenly turned chaotic beneath her, but missed. In truth, it was one of the only things that let her haphazard fighting style work so well. "Block this!!" she yelled as she came down with a heeldrop that Zorlo immediately evaded as her shockwave cratered the earth where he stood seconds before. She never could hit with that after the first time many battles ago. He seemed about to say something when she cut him off with a rising shockwave kick that he deflected up. But that was just a feint of the real move. He saw it as her fist went back for a rib-shot. "Three-hit... Kugi Punch!!"

[Zorolo]

There are times in life where things seem to slow down. LIfe seems to relax. Slow, impending death moves in, and a person can do nothing about that. For Zorlo, this kind of thing had become common place. The first time she tried many of her attacks, and hit, time itself seemed to slow down around him as the inevitable events that were coming transpired. She was too close, his sword was too far, and the only thing between him and her fist was the small amount of air that would be traversed in a second. Three-hit nail punch... there was no defense for that at this range.

The first punch hit, causing Zorlo's body to curl around the fist. In the span of a few instances, his body shot across the landscape, driving him back first into the ground. Squeezed into that small window of time, three-shockwaves, each remeniscent of a super-powered punch, struck with the force of a nail being fired from a nail gun. Blood erupted from Zorlo's mouth as his body slid against the ground until he crashed into a park bench. His head flung back and struck the bench, cracking the wood, but not shattering it. The green-haired man coughed as blood shot from his mouth. She'd probably done some real, potentially serious, internal damage this time, but like the times before it, pride stood in his way.

Zorlo used his right hand to steady himself as he slowly rose to his feet. "A true swordsman... doesn't let even a should-be fatal wound keep him down." His eyes had gone faint. The energy and life that had filled them before was replaced by a violent resolve to keep living. "Like always, I should thank you, Lily... suffering is good... on the path of chaos!" Zorlo said as he slashed five times, firing off seven different lines towards her. Each attack was inherently different in speed, strength and distance, meant to ensnare her this time. "Seven-Slash Sacred-Tree Cutting technique!" he said, spinning his sword as he sheathed it.

He smiled faintly as he fell to his knees. "But like I was saying... you need to go up several bra sizes before you can adequately reproduce Tsunade's super stomp thing. Not quite there yet," He joked, trying to keep his eyes open.

[AZURE-KITE]

She's right.... He tough, and tried to talk Last order... what the?! He couldn't talk... and he was sleepy I have to change this damn thing battery... He went to a table where he had some batteries I only have to.... man... I need some sleep... The last battle has exausted me to death... Damn misaka... He grabbed the baterries and replaced them, then throwed the other used batteries to the trash and layed on his couch "Last Order... If anything happens... Wake me u...." he didn't even finished saying this and he was already asleep

[GamerKale]

The exertion of dealing with his father had caused Brink's condition to deteriorate so even if Kurushimi had allowed for an argument he was in no condition to do so. He simply closed his eyes and lied upon the bed, relaxing as best he could in spite of the spasms. At least I'm not dead. I wonder if his face'll be purple when I get home.

[nekoryuuha]

Last Order simply smiled at accelerator as she did her best to cover him with blanket and lifted the verbal restriction on him. "'Don't worry, I will,' says Misaka as Misaka covers you with a blanket," Last Order replied quietly as her stomach rumbled and she sighed. "'I had hoped Accelerator would make something delicious before he went to sleep,' says Misaka as Misaka sighs dejectedly. 'But I guess I'll have to find something myself!' states Misaka Misaka determinedly, left with no other choice." With that, the small girl walked away into the kitchen to do just that.

It was only a few minutes before Kurushimi Move-Pointed her back it the bedroom. In her hands was a large, streaming cup of the tea that the doctor had given her to make for Brink. "Brink, how are you feeling after not one, but two near-death experiences in a single afternoon?" she asked as she approached and set the cup down far enough away that one of his spasms won't hit it. "So, care to tell me who that was and why they wanted to kill you?"

"A-ahhh...." Lily clenched her teeth on the gasp of pain from her own technique. The problem with recreating a technique was that you usually also recreated the effects and side-effects. And so, lightning-like pain ran through her right forearm and elbow from the self damage she'd caused herself, just like the technique's original owner suffered. Difference was, unlike it's owner, Lily didn't possess Super-Human regeneration & endurance. Either way, she had bigger things to worry about. Firstly, Zorlo's Final Attack. One of the first lines was already on her as she shifted back-left and ducked to avoid the first and second lines as they converged and split. The intense pain was dulling her instinct and it showed as she dodged forward through an opening the dodge lines three and four to feel five and six clip her sides and vanish, leaving two shallow cuts across her skin. One and Two's return distracted her almost long enough for Seven to just miss her face and for five and six to tear-up her skirt a bit. A bit of dodging later, Lily kneeled in front of Zorlo a bit worse for the wear as she steadied him with her left arm, her right hand and forearm twitching and useless. "Zorlo! Say something to me. How're ya holding up?" she asked him with concern.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo smiled as he reached his arm out to her. "I can see... a pretty light... and it's getting closer," he said as his hand drifted down suddenly. In a move that most would define as being "out of nowhere," he lifted her skirt up and looked. "Nope, still just the same old shorts," he said with a sigh. "And here I was hoping you were doing something original today," he told her, laughing as he poked her forwards. "I think the better question is are YOU okay," he said, removing his glove and thumbing away the blood from one of the shallower cuts, which ceased bleeding as fast as they had started.

"NOpe, your fine. Sorry about that... instinct response. I've almost died from one of your moves SO many times that responding in kind is almost second nature," he said, sliding sideways as he lifted her skirt up again. "Now then..." he whispered as he looked up from under and paused, springing back up and removing his gloves as he quickly covered his nose, stopping a nose bleed. "Uh... I'm fine now," he said, his eyes full of life and his nose leaking blood.

[GamerKale]

He opened his eyes and sat up cross legged. "Likke an uncaaffeinated Ttoby." He reached out and took a long sip of the tea and coughed, "Pretty good." He coughed again before answering her other question, "That was my dad." He dropped the cup on his lap and folded his arms in just before a spasm hit. He picked the cup back up, more peeved about nearly throwing hot tea in Kurushimi's face than dropping it in his own lap and took a sip of what was left, which was not quite half the original contents. "Sorry. Imisssed practice. I know, it seems like such a little thing, but if I fall behind, our house's standing with the oathers will fall when the tourney comes around." Brink took another sip and actually looked around for the first time, "Is this your room? It's more spartan than I had imagined."

[nekoryuuha]

((Merry Christmas, everyone!!))


Lily paused in a bit of disbelief at the first skirt flip. In fact, It was only her lingering concern and her twitching, right arm that kept her from outright punching him, since she was right handed. She opened her mouth to reply to him when he flipped it again, the torn-up shirt tearing under the weight of the items in her skirt pockets. Her face reddened, her remaining fist clenched, and Zorlo jumped back Lily shadowed forward with him. "You pervert!" was all she said as she slugged him with her left. It was still Enough to put the wounded swordsman on his back before she realized what she'd done. "Ah, Sorry! I just reacted. Let me call an Ambulance!" she said to him as she reached down to realize most of her skirt was behind her, on the ground. Good thing she always trained with shorts on underneath. But when she dug out her phone, all she could do was stare at the deep, sparking gash across the front. "I really liked that phone too...."

Kurushimi flinched slightly as Brink dropped the cup and spasmed, the choice he'd made not completely lost on her. She made a note of it as she shook her head and move-pointed a towel to her hands. "Sorry, Brink. No such luck for you. This is a spare bedroom in our house. Lily's got the basement and Mariya took the second floor, leaving me with primary control of the first floor," Kurushimi explained as she gave him the towel to try and dry himself a bit. "I don't know about you, but if he's worried about your standing, wouldn't your house standing drop even farther if your died and they had no one for the tourney? Or does he think that you just that easily replaced?"

[Zorolo]

Zorlo sat up, holding the side of his head as he sighed. "Such strength... I need to be more careful," he said with a chuckle as he smiled at the woman. "Now then, how about we go somewhere," he said as his head still spun. "Starting with our usual place," he said, removing his cape and jacket as he placed them over Lily, covering her up a little more. "I know it's a bit much, but I think it suits you," he said, smirking at her. "Anyway, shall we get going?" he asked her, starting to walk off. He was tired and hurt like hell... but he could still move. Even if it was only barely.

[GamerKale]

"Guest room? I didn't think most people had these. Guess I'll just have to buy you dinner if I want entry to your private sanctum." He turned red and focussed very intently on drinking his tea as soon as the words escaped his lips.

Brink smiled knowingly at the question and sipped. "I asked that same question once. You know what he said? Nothing he just took a slash at my head. Thank you for the towel." He started drying himself off and didn't look up at her. "If I'm dead, I can't bring further shame on the family and any losses my second incurs would be more excusable than any I myself caused by l-losing." He shrugged and sipped, setting the towel across his lap in case he had to drop the tea again. "There's actually been talk of letting my second take my place given my condition," Brink spat the word, "as father calls it when he's being polite, or deficiency when he's not." Brink took another sip and held a hand up flexing it. The tea's working quite well. Almost no atypical resistance, still it will be a few more days before I'm fully aclimated to the additional nervous system damage.

"So, you have an entire floor to yourself. Guess that explains your grades, nothing to distract you from your studies. Is that nice? Or are relationships between you and your sisters just that bad? Oh, hang on a second you've got a little something on your, here let me." He reached out and flicked her on the ear once. "Stop flinching at every little thing. You're going to get yourself hurt if you keep that up. Which reminds me." He picked up the towel and applied pressure to the cut on his arm, cleaning off what blood had already run down it in the process. He had forgotten all about the injury, what with the adrenaline from earlier.

[nekoryuuha]

Though the Teleporter was unamused by the ear-flick, she quite clearly remembered her little sister, Lily, stating something similar to her. "You flinch too much! If you flinch like that in a fight or something, you could easily get yourself hurt, Sis!" The girl merely sighed. "You'll have to excuse my lack of warrior's focus. But besides that, hold on a moment." She turned and vanished only to return soon after with a med kit. Moving his hand away, she looked over the wound for a moment before quickly and expertly binding it. "But to answer your question, no. We all have a rather close relationship with each other. But we have three levels, so we use them for our own privacy rather then letting it go to waste. It also helps to let us do as we wish without disturbing each other. There, all done," she finished as she closed the kit and Move-Pointed it away. "You're looking better too, more color and less spasms. How do you feel?"


"Right.." Lily replied as she gathered up the remnants of her skirt and ran after him, catching up quickly. "I don't mind, but, are you sure? You're listing to the side and don't look too good. We should probably get you checked out at a hospital, Zorlo," Lily said to him as she watched him with more then a little concern.

[Zorolo]

"You, as always, worry too much. I'm really fine, trust me." The fact Zorlo hated doctors and hospitals more than anything had a lot to do with matters here, but he refused to admit that to Lily, who's concern was obvious upon her face. "Plus, we've got lots to talk about," the man said as he moved towards their normal resting spot, a perch on a rise looking out at the whole city. The benches and vending machines there were the ones that the green haired man felt most incline to use on a general basis. "A nice day of rest and I"ll be good as new, Lily, honest!" he told her, smiling away any fears he knew she still had, at least for now. As long as he didn't pass out around her, she'd never know how hurt he may or may not have been.

[GamerKale]

"it's not a matter of warrior's focus or whatever you want to call it. It's just that in the past hour you've flinched three times. I'm concerned you might throw your neck out at this rate." Brink tugged at the bandage slightly. Could be a little tighter, but I've done worse. "Again, thank you. I should be able to survive father tomorrow afternoon." He looked up at her with a smile. "But yes, I'm doing much better. You made the tea perfectly." He finished the drink off with a big gulp and coughed a couple of times. "I don't think I've ever had a batch that tasted this bad before." He held up a staying hand in expectation of her getting defensive. "Relax, the worse it tastes the better it is for you. Or at least that's what the doc always said." Brink set the empty cup down on the nightstand beside him. "It's good that your relationships with your family is congenial. I am surprised that the teleporter got the first floor. I figured you would have gotten stuck with stairs. By the way," he bent over, putting his head to the bed, inclined towards Kurushimi, "may I please stay the night here? I will gladly repay you in whatever manner you see fit."

[AZURE-KITE]

when accelerator opened his eyes, he noticed the last order was serving herself some food let her have some food.... But it never hurts to help... When suddendly an explosion could be heard coming for outside, and Accelerator fell from the couch, then he stood up, grabbed his walking stick and ran to the window "what the hell is happening??" The explosion moved all the house, and when accelerator looked through the window he could see the smoke, but didn't saw the one that caused it, then he saw the anti-skill getting into the area Damn... is the city in war?.... or is it just another esper causing trouble? He tough, as he was preparing to jump from the window

[nekoryuuha]

((Sorry. Skyward Sword has been eating a large portion of my time.))

Though Lily was still worried about him, she decided to let it be for the moment. She sighed. "Fine... I'll let it go for now, But if you hit the floor, you'll waking up in an Emergency room!" she replied seriously to him before smiling and sitting down with him. "But I must admit, that attack was pretty good. Yours and mine. I haven't sent you flying that far since my first attempted 'Roc-Killing Fist'!" she said happily. "And then that attack of yours! Their were so many cuts. You even got my pho..." she trailed off at the mention of her phone, the thought making her remember something else she'd forgotten to do. "Crap! I forgot to call Mariya about dinner. And now my phone's broken too.... Wonderful..."

"Uh huh..." Kurushimi was a mild bit shocked though she recovered long before Brink could look up to see it. "I see... And I can guess that this is to farther elude your Father until tomorrow, when you believe he'll have calmed enough not to simply attempt to end your life and be done with it, I assume?" She paused to consider things. His father shouldn't know who she was nor gotten a good enough glimpse to identify her, so short of a spy network, finding him here should prove difficult. "Very well. You'll be sleeping here tonight. You can roam the house, just watch where you go. My room is secured from the inside, so I'm not worried, but Lily leaves the basement unlocked and can be ...territorial... sometimes." Kurushimi explained as she thought about what 'repayment' would work. It didn't take long. "As payment... You can cook, right?"

Last Order stumbled but managed to stay on her feet and even kept her food from falling. "'Ah! What was that?!' exclaims Misaka Misaka in surprise as she attempts to keep her balance." The young girl sat the plate back on the table as she noticed Accelerator move to the window. Though the blast had momentarily scrambled it, The wireless connection to the Radio Noise network was still strong. "'Ah, Accelerator! Please be careful out there,' says Misaka Misaka with concern before you leave. 'I'll wait here for you until it gets too dangerous, Accelerator', finishes Misaka as Misaka decides whether or not to try and eat quickly."

[Zorolo]

Zorlo chuckled as he removed a phone and gave it to her. "I was thinking of a present for your or buying a phone for myself so we could more easily stay in contact... so I guess this works to do both. Now you have a new phone and I've given you a gift," he told her, smiling at her. "I'm sorry I broke your phone, though. I hope you can forgive me for it," he told her, moving forwards and standing completely in front of her. "Anyway, after you call your sister, shall we head to our spot to talk before I walk you home?" he asked, smiling down at her.

[AZURE-KITE]

"tch" Accelerator looked trough the window, and then at Last Order "I have to go, i'll see what happens, i'm sure the Anti-skill are on it, but if we count on them, and with THAT we will end up all killed" He pushed the button in his choker, grabbed a gun that was on the table and jumped trough the window, following the site of the explosion
