Hyp3rB14d3

Hmm...Hallelujah showed up again, for all of 10 seconds. Looks like he's only activated by the 00 Gundam's trans-am.

Rounding a corner, Hyp3rB14d3 kicks down a shop door, then sprays a stream of blood into the shop. Cutting off the blood flow from his wing, Hyp3rB14d3 then ducks into an alley. Having successfully redirected his trail away from himself, Hyp3rB14d3 begins moving more quietly, slowly approaching the area he ditched his trench coat at. I think I lost them...

Looks like Soma's back, but still no sign of Hallelujah. I fear that Soma's death may be the trigger for his return...

[OOC]Alright, enough stalling. One Aptom post, coming right up.[/OOC] "...Looks like I missed one. One moment." Suddenly, Aptom spins around and swings his right arm out. The arm stretches toward the wall of a building behind him and his hand forms into a lance-like spike. What are they saying saying? Hyp3rB14d3 wonders. However, as Aptom spins around and attacks the wall he'd been using as cover, Hyp3rB14d3 dives out of the way. Pulling the topmost of the five triggers hidden within his blade, Hyp3rB14d3 releases a blinding flash from his sword. Turning, Hyp3rB14d3 tries to run, only to discover that his evasion was less effective than he'd previously believed it to be. Aptom's 'lance' had pierced his left wing, and was in the process of fusing with it. Oh crap! Severing the wing, Hyp3rB14d3 began running. "After him!" Aptom shouted to Kumori. Is he a lost number? He doesn't seem to be a normal Zoanoid...

Hyp3rB14d3 waited silently for several minutes before he finally peeked around the corner again to see what was going on. To his surprise, another person had joined the sword-wielding lunatic he'd spoken with earlier. The two were talking about something, but he couldn't tell what: partially because he was too far away to hear them properly, and partially because they were speaking in Japanese, a language he wasn't familiar with. This must be his contact with the Guyvers. Which means if I follow him, he'll eventually lead me to them. Hyp3rB14d3 continued watching in silence.

I'm kind of wondering if Seravee actually has a powerful self-destruct system and Seraphim is essentially an escape pod that can fight.

As Hyp3rB14d3 walked back toward the alley he'd approached Kumori from, Kumori suddenly took off. Crap, he's trying to ditch me! Running after him, Hyp3rB14d3 ditched the oversized trench coat to avoid tripping. However, as fast as Hyp3rB14d3 could run, Kumori was much faster, and it didn't take long before Hyp3rB14d3 lost sight of him. Before long, however, Hyp3rB14d3 heard a shout, followed by the sound of metal tearing through flesh and bone. Grabbing his helmet, which he had attached to the harness on his back that held his sword in order to conceal it beneath the trench coat, Hyp3rB14d3 ran to investigate the noise. As he rounded the corner of a building, Hyp3rB14d3 found Kumori standing by the dissolving bodies of two Chronos scouts. Backpedaling, Hyp3rB14d3 disappeared back around the building. Crap, he's one of them. Or an ally. I hope he didn't see me. Without that coat, my green armor and blue wings might get me mistaken for a zoanoid. ...Those people's bodies were dissolving... Something's up with his sword.

"I'm willing to bet that they know..." Hyp3rB14d3 says before turning and beginning to walk away. He knows something... I'll start to walk off, then follow him from a distance.

"I am neither brainwashed, nor part of Chronos. But Chronos controls the world government, they are the world government. To seek to overthrow them is to be by definition an anarchist; to actively fight them is to be a terrorist. Who is right and who is wrong is irrelevant: the definition of the words stays the same. Now, do you know where they are, or not?" Inside his trench coat, Hyp3rB14d3's free hand slipped to the hilt of his sword.

"That's...an interesting response, even if it doesn't make much sense. Why would Chronos attack themselves? They already control the world. They have nothing to gain from attacking themselves but enemies and internal strife. The guyvers are the anarchists trying to overthrow the world government. As for who wants to know, that has nothing to do with my question. But it also leads me to believe you know where they are..." As he spoke, Hyp3rB14d3 slipped one arm out of the sleeve of his trench coat.

"I suppose I'll just get right to the point. I'm looking for information on the terrorists known as the Guyvers. You wouldn't happen to know anything about them, would you?"

Silently, Hyp3rB14d3 followed the man in the kimono. Which was a surprisingly difficult task, despite the man's unique attire. The man moved quickly and cautiously, and kept moving through shadows. Does he know I'm following him? Hyp3rB14d3 couldn't help but wonder. Hyp3rB14d3 nearly lost track of him several times before he finally stopped. ...What's he doing? As the man pulled out a cigarette and lit it up, Hyp3rB14d3 nearly groaned. That was an awfully long walk just to have a cigarette. He definitely knows. He's waiting for me to show myself. I guess all that's left is to confront him directly. After taking one last moment to ensure that his trench coat completely concealed his armor, wings, and sword, Hyp3rB14d3 stepped out of the shadows. "So, can you speak English? Because if you can only speak Japanese, this is going to be a real pain."

And there goes another wasted day. Hyp3rB14d3 groaned in frustration. He'd been searching the city for the guyvers for three months with no progress whatsoever. He'd covered the entire city searching from the roofs of buildings, and had even taken to sneaking into buildings and searching inside them. He had become fairly skilled at avoiding detection, and when he was detected, he was usually able to outrun those who had spotted him. Yet still, for all his trouble, he had discovered nothing. He had long since considered the possibility that the guyvers could disguise themselves as humans like zoanoids, but was slowly coming to a different conclusion, one that he didn't want to acknowledge. ...Maybe they aren't here. I saw the guyver flying. It's possible that it could come here to fight with Chronos but actually lives somewhere else... If this was the case, then Hyp3rB14d3 would have no leads whatsoever. Maybe if I temporarily ally with Chronos... But they might try to put me into one of those tanks and make me a zoanoid. ...I think I'll just keep looking. Just as he was about to give up for the day and return to the warehouse he'd been staying at, something caught Hyp3rB14d3's eye. A man, dressed in an unusual manner of clothing had just gone by. ...That's odd. Why's he in one of those... kimonos? Most people around here dress pretty normally. Hmm... Maybe he's going to a party or something? After a few moments, Hyp3rB14d3 decided to follow him, albeit at a distance. Something's suspicious about him. Maybe he knows where the guyver's are. Or maybe he's with Chronos. ...Or maybe he actually is going to a party, and I'll get a chance to swipe some decent tasting food.

Wait, we're only supposed to post videos we've made? Oops...

Cloudgate Building - Three Months Ago Hyp3rB14d3 awoke to the sounds of battle. Huh? What's going on? The sounds continued, and a blast suddenly rocked the building, taking out part of the floor of his cell and giving a clear view to the floor below. Whoa! After a few moments, Hyp3rB14d3 approached the hole and looked out of it. As he did so, something went by. However, Hyp3rB14d3 was unable to make out anything more than a mesh of unidentifiable zoanoid body parts in the brief glimpse he saw of the creature. ...Now might be a good time to leave... Dropping out of the hole, Hyp3rB14d3 landed in a crouch. Looking around, Hyp3rB14d3 discovered the area both deserted and destroyed. Through a hole in the far wall, zoanoids could be seen battling what Hyp3rB14d3 could only assume was the Guyver and what looked like another zoanoid. Looks like I'm a few stories up... More importantly, however, he could also see a familiar hilt protruding from behind a half destroyed wall. There it is! Hyp3rB14d3 ran into the room, where he discovered both his weapon and armor. This is convenient. Looks like Chronos stored them in the same place. After taking a few moments to put on his armor, Hyp3rB14d3 began running around until he found the nearest elevator. However, just as he pressed the button, the sound of another blast echoed from the direction of the hole. ...Better take the stairs. Fortunately, the nearest staircase was within plain view, and within moments, Hyp3rB14d3 was heading down the the ground and to freedom. By the time Hyp3rB14d3 reached the ground floor, the fight had escalated into something out of a Godzilla movie. Deciding that getting out of the collateral damage zone took precedence over stopping to catch his breath and watch the fight between the two (relatively) little guys and the giant monster, Hyp3rB14d3 continued running despite his exhaustion. Apparently, this was the right choice. Not long afterwards, almost all of the buildings between him and the battle were destroyed in an instant. Crap! How far away do I need to be? Hyp3rB14d3 would continue running until the fight ended. Present Once again, Hyp3rB14d3 finds himself searching the neighborhood for the terrorists, his sword, wings, and armor concealed beneath a trenchcoat. And once again, he finds himself thinking back to that day 3 months ago. I still can't believe how powerful those terrorists were. Or how much collateral damage Chronos was willing to cause to stop them. Or the fact that, despite how dangerously reckless and extreme the measures Chronos took were, that they weren't enough. If these two factions keep fighting, people are going to get involved. People have already gotten involved. And until I can find a way to get home, I'll run the risk of getting involved myself. ...One of the sides needs to be stopped. And since Chronos rules the world while the terrorists are just a small group...

Tokyo, Japan - Shinjuku - Cloudgate Building In a dark corner of a small cell in the Cloudgate building, a man lies sleeping. No, not a man. Men do not have wings, as this "man" does. Nor do their teeth resemble fangs or their fingers end in claw-like points. No, inside this particular cell lies a zoanoid. Suddenly awakening, the "man" sits up and looks around. ...Oh, that's right. I'm in a prison cell. Oy... Destroy one little facility, numerous underlings, and several of those tank things they grow each other in, and they lock you up. Wish more people around here spoke English; maybe then I'd know whether or not they're planning to execute me... Rolling over, the "man" named Hyp3rB14d3 once again considered trying to escape. And once again, he decided against it for the same reason. All I know about this building is that it's really big. I don't even know if I'm above ground or under it. But more importantly, I don't know where they put my weapons and armor. And I'm not leaving them behind. Especially not with those terrorists loose. They might think I'm one of those zoa-thingies. Oy... I really need a drink. ...And to pay more attention to where I'm going when I leave that damn bar. Elsewhere in Cloudgate "So he's still sticking to his ridiculous story?" "For the moment, yes. He genuinely seems to believe he ended up at the facility while leaving a bar." "And you haven't been able to check for brain damage." "Not yet, no. We've tried, but he won't cooperate, and sedatives don't seem to be working." "And you can't just overpower him?" "Yes and no. He's not actually all that strong, but whenever we try to move him, he cuts himself. And then he starts fighting." This one is proving to be more trouble than he's worth, thought Kabral Khan. But that blood manipulation ability could prove useful... "If we could have a hyper-zoanoid assist us..." "No, we need them to focus on Aptom. Just leave him in the cell for now." [OOC]Any issues with me using Kabral like this? If so, I can rewrite this post.[/OOC]

Still waiting on Moonraker's approval or disapproval before I can join the RP or make a new character.

Yes. We haven't been seeing Griffith fight Ganishka. We've seen his army fight Ganishka's parasites. We've seen internal conflicts overcome. We've seen how truly gigantic Ganishka is. But we haven't seen Griffith fight Ganishka. Plus, quite frankly, I don't really like Griffith or his minions. They're just not that entertaining, and their fight scenes aren't usually very cool. At least Guts's group has Isidoro and Puck for comic relief. And a tendency to get involved in awesome fight scenes. Guts's group should soon be arriving at Elfheim. I want to see what happens when they get there. Sure we might end up seeing a little more of the ship, but I'm pretty sure that that isn't going to go on much longer. Not as long as "Griffith's fight with Ganishka" has been going on, anyways.

Looks like Saji's having some trouble coping with the Gs Setsuna's putting him through.

The problem I have with the movie is not that they're not doing a faithful translation. The problem I have is that they're not doing Dragonball at all, they're doing a completely unrelated action movie and stole the names (but not the character designs) for a bigger budget.

How does being able to manipulate the shape and density of his blood help him? Well, he can form weapons from his blood, set traps by bleeding, prevent himself from bleeding to death from a wound that would kill someone else, and in the event that he is paralyzed, he can manipulate himself like a puppet with internal strings. Plus, if someone cuts him, he can immediately retaliate with an attack from the wound.

Name: Hyp3rB14d3 Code Name (if people refer to you something other than your name): Hyperblade Type: Lost Number Age (calendar age, if physical age is different, put it too): 21 (or so he says) Alignment (Chronos, Zeus' Thunderbolt, or individual): individual Appearance: History (at least five sentences of the history): He first appeared rampaging out of control in a (now destroyed) Chronos research facility. Clearly a malfunctioning Zoanoid, Hyp3rB14d3 seems to be stuck between forms, with wings permanently visible and transformation attempts yielding little more than a change in musculature structure and bleeding from the corners of his eyes(more evidence of his incompleteness). Most likely, he was processed in the very facility he destroyed. However, this cannot be confirmed, as all records of him were apparently destroyed with the facility. His incomplete processing seems to have affected his mind, as he seems to have forgotten what the words "zoanoid", "guyver", "Chronos", and "Australia" mean, thinks he's a professional monster slayer, and claims to have come from a bar in another universe. He also seems to be unfamiliar with the world government. Upon actually settling down and having the world situation explained to him, Hyp3rB14d3 stopped killing zoanoids on sight. He now views the guyvers as terrorists and the zoanoids as people. However, he has not joined Chronos, and refuses to undergo further processing. It seems likely that Hyp3rB14d3 is actually a portion of this man's processing number. He wore metal armor with zoanoid parts attached to it and wielded a strange sword that is capable of generating even higher-frequency vibrations in its blade than the guyvers' infamous high-frequency swords. Even after being convinced that zoanoids were not the monsters he thought they were, however, he refused to remove the zoanoid parts from his armor. It is unclear why the zoanoid pieces integrated into his armor aren't dissolving. Being a lost number, zoalords hold no sway over his mind. Hyp3rB14d3 speaks English, but cannot speak or understand Japanese. Currently, Hyp3rB14d3 is being detained in a prison cell, at least until Chronos can figure out what to do with him. His weapon and armor have been confiscated. Abilities (at least five sentences): Despite the amount of destruction he caused, Hyp3rB14d3 is surprisingly weak physically, usually being only about 3 times stronger than a human, although his strength occasionally reaches up to seven times that of a human (meaning that at his strongest he is physically weaker than a Gregole). He is, however, very well trained, and his weapon is very dangerous. Even though he has wings, Hyp3rB14d3 cannot fly (more evidence of his incomplete processing). He also has an unusually high tolerance for pain, one that increases whenever he tries to transform. His most interesting trait, however, is that he seems to be capable of freely manipulating his own blood. He can control both its shape and its density, and seems to be able to track where it is. This control seems to have a range limit, but the exact range has not been measured. Hyp3rB14d3 also has slow regenerative abilities. While not fast enough to affect his performance in battle, they do help him to recover from them. His weapon has five triggers concealed within the handguard. Starting from the one nearest to the blade, they cause the blade to emit a blinding flash of light, ignite the blade with flames, released poison along the edge of the blade, vacuum and eject substances from the blade, and activate the weapon's high-frequency vibrations. His armor consists primarily of thick steel. However, it has several zoanoid parts incorporated into it, presumably to make it look more threatening. Hyp3rB14d3 wears his armor over a yellow-green jumpsuit that is both electrically and thermally insulated, as well as extremely durable.

Well, we've seen how Soma reacts (she and Hallelujah try to kill each other), but how will Marie react?
