[Voice Test]

[neverahero]

[This is a Voice Testing post. There a couple of options for how to proceed. You may pick the scenario below that I have set up, or you may create your own. I am up for just about anything as part of this, so don't hesitate to set up your own framework to force me to adapt to it: this is an important part of the exercise.]

Scenario A: Your muse has arrived in a desolate badland, covered in the ruins of a long dead civilization. The winds are harsh and brutal, and the land itself feels dead. There's not much out here... except there are footsteps nearby. Groups of strange looking robots roam the landscape... and they appear to be hunting something. Or someone. And they don't take kindly to people being in restricted areas...

Fortunately, there's someone else around who will give them a hand not too far away. In fact, your character may spot this mysterious red Reploid before the search party does...

Scenario B: Pick your own, which can be as peaceful, dangerous, serious, or as lighthearted as you wish. Setting can be anywhere.

Huh?

[She's about to respond, about demons and Hades when suddenly the Pantheons are getting up close and personal.]

[neverahero]

[Indeed, up close. And as the Pantheons draw near, Zero draws a white hilt from a dock on his leg armor... and a green blade flickers to life as he leaps into action.

Though the speed Zero moved at wasn't as impressive as some demons, he moved with inhuman grace and precision, lashing out with practiced strokes. Limbs severed from the Pantheons with every stroke, oil and coolant splattering everywhere....

And for what it was worth, Zero focused on wiping out any of them that so much looked at Fuka.]

[prinnykaiserxx]

WOW.

[Fuka doesn't try to hide the shine to her eyes. This guy is pretty awesome! Seeing the Pantheons spilling oil and coolant isn't quite like zombie guts and is less violent in comparison.

However, they both seemed to miss the stray Pantheons who approach from behind, firing off several shots that miss Fuka but have her diving to the side regardless.

Back in the original spot she landed, she grabs the axe that came with her to this barren wasteland.]

You're gonna pay for that, nuts and bolts!!

[They do.

With a charge, Fuka deflects the fire with the blade of axe. Swinging it out widely, she performs a rather impressive headslice.]

[neverahero]

[Zero turns when Fuka shouts a threat, noticing this... young girl wielding an axe of all things, and using it like a pro. And then cleaving straight through titanium like it was tinfoil? Who was this girl?!

Well. Clearly she can handle herself. At least for now.

Still, Zero turned back to his foes and impaled his Z-Saber through the single red eye of one. And while sparks flew from that wound, another Pantheon drew closer to try to attack him from around his comrade. Zero wasn't going to have any of this. His free hand lit up in a green glow, and he lashed out to grab the Pantheon's arm... which he proceeded to pull straight from its socket.

Now armed with the robot's blaster... and arm, he pointed the gun at another group of Pantheons and unleashed a fully automatic barrage at them, riddling them like swiss cheese.]

[Fuka doesn't spare a glance over her shoulder, instead moves on to the next target. Blade slamming through it's middle section, the top half of its trunk goes flying into the air, ramming into the last stray.

When she does turn she sees the groups riddled and dropping like flies into the sand. There's a final wave coming, not too far from them and Fuka grins. She reaches into her backpack and reveals - a bomb!? She runs the blade of her axe against a lone rock, sparks flying into the air, lighting the string of the bomb.]

You're out!!!

[Ready, Aim, Fire. She throws the bomb into the air, treating her weapon like a bat and it goes flying into the group of Pantheons. Moments later the explosion (BOOM) shifts up the sand around them, smoke obscuring the view.

When it finally clears, there's a few stray flames, oil burned through so quickly the sand underneath is singed.]

[neverahero]

[Well, he'll be damned. He's still not quite sure what just happened with this girl, but... something of a smirk finds its way to his face, which is quite rare.]

Not bad at all.

[And with that, Zero simply discards the arm of the Pantheon he was holding.]
