Well hello there
Who:Galaxia and SGPrime
What: Power testing
Where: Their super secret base
Summary: Galaxia and Prime spar!
Notes: None!
: This was not an optimal base of operations, but it would do, for now.
When not fighting in the rings, attracting attention and mechpower, and when not working on refining plans to get out of this city, one in particular - he was working on where he was recharging. Planning. And training, because just because one was out of an actual fight did not mean one was to let their skills go to waste.
In a way, solo training had its advantages over being surrounded by actual mechs; it had its disadvantages as well, but it wasn’t a useless action. He would have preferred a working hologram system where he could make use of hard light as he did back in Iacon, but…in lieu of that, he pushed himself as hard as he could.
Without worrying about silly ‘rules’, or fools who thought they could match his power, or copies that weren’t copies or mechs best left in other worlds or voices or-
With a sudden snarl, Optimus Prime broke the form he was practicing, throwing out his right arm with his ion blaster in it and firing.
It wasn’t at full power - and as such, only made a sizeable dent in the wall rather than blasting a hole through it completely.
hakai_no_senshi: Galaxia had walked into the room just as Prime shot the wall. She arched and eyebrow as she looked from the wall and back over to the large Mech. She almost smirked at the whole thing. He seemed to be growing irritated.
She stepped into the room without any fear and walked straight over to him. She was already in her transformed state. She stopped a few feet away and simply looked up at him.
"You don't seem to be enjoying yourself. Perhaps you need something else... a real target perhaps... a living one?" Her lips curled up into a small smile before she turned and walked away a little bit before once again turning to face him.
"I promise I won't break so easily." Indeed she wouldn't. She actually wanted a chance to see him really in action and what he could do. Plus find out if he could possibly be of some sort of threat to her.
That was always good information to know.
: What did Galaxia want?
Optimus gazed down at her with darkening optics in an expression she would have learned by now to mean that he was ill-amused. And yes, annoyed…though it seemed to be replaced by interest as she offered him more of a challenge.
“You consider yourself able to withstand my strength?” he asked, obviously dubious, but not so much as to turn her down. She had displayed considerable strength before, but...
…this could prove to be interesting.
hakai_no_senshi: Galaxia seemed to show no fear as he stared down at her. Certainly she knew he was not one to be toyed with, but she also was not afraid of him or anything else. She gestured with her hands a bit.
"I guess we will find out. But honestly, pain is not something I fear." She smirked a little bit. "But even so, who better to experience it from, than from you."
She almost smiled. Bringing her arms to side, her own eyes seemed to glow slightly. "Well, now, shall we begin? I do believe, it is your move."
: Her lack of fear was not the sort that came from foolish bravery or stupidity; there was a surety to her that Optimus had learned came from full confidence in one’s abilities. Not overestimation, not cockiness, but the fact that they knew very well what they were capable of and what they could take.
And for this, he didn’t hesitate any longer than it took to process the thought before bringing up his gun and firing off a shot at her in the space of half of a second.
hakai_no_senshi: She was actually quite glad he decided to take her up on her challenge. It had been a very long time since she fought anyone she considered to be worthy. She didn't need to see his strength to sense he had it... but it interested her nonetheless.
The shot would hit where she stood and explode... he might have seen it... mere moments before it hit... her form would flicker and just disappear.
She reappeared behind were he stood. "Now come now. I know you have much more fire power than that. Lets see what you can really do." With that she brought up a hand and released an invisble blast of energy. It wasn't designed to hurt, but it was the equivelent of giving him a small shove.
: He did see it, and his optics blinked in surprise. Where did she-
There. He spun around, just in time to catch the ‘shove’, and make a low noise somewhere between a growl and a grumble. “If you wish for me to let loose, then I expect you to do the same, Galaxia!”
With that, he swung the gun not to shoot her again, but to smack her from where she was on the ground.
hakai_no_senshi: Of course she could have released more of her powers. But why show off everything right away? She expected him to attempt to shoot her again and thus was taken off guard a bit when he struck her with the gun. She went flying and skidded across the floor. ... That was slightly humiliating.
"Very well." She spoke slowly as she started to pull herself back to her feet. She made a fist and her body started to glow a golden color. "Galactica..." She opened her hand... "Superstring!" Golden energy shot out from her hand and attempted to strike him in the chest. But either by way of the limiter or perhaps the fact that she was still holding back. The attack was not enough to do any great deal of damage.
: Consider it chastising her for thinking that he would be the only one exerting effort here. As he said, if she wanted him to use his full strength - then he would expect it of her as well. It was only fair, after all, that if she were to see the scope of his power that he would see hers as well. And just why she was so confident…
The energy blasted him squarely, causing him to take a step back; it was more like a strike than her earlier one, and he seemed pleased by it. “Good,” he said approvingly, raising the gun and firing once more, a more powerful shot than before.
Still not at full, but not for her sake; he didn’t want to blast through a wall.
hakai_no_senshi: She had gotten fully back on her feet when he spoke. Looking up at him her gaze grew dark for a moment. Was this still a game? She wasn't sure. But it almost seemed like a battle for dominance. When he fired at her again she didn't teleport away. She simply brought up her hand in front of her body, palm facing outward.
The shot struck an invisble barrier, though it was slightly deflected she seemed to bring her hand quickly away and take a step back... perhaps it wasn't deflected all the way.
"So it begins."
She brought up her hand that was seeminly hurt from the shot and pointed her figner towards the ceiling. Energy seemed to cackle within the room. And it wouldn't be long before a bolt of lightning would shoot down from out of no where... and strike the floor right in front of him.
]: Whether it was a game, a spar, a true battle or even a test, the annoyance seemed to have faded from the Prime. He seemed quite interested now, especially at the blast’s deflection and it hitting a wall…and, of course at her hand. Had it singed through whatever field she had brought up, for that?
“It never ends,” he countered, looking up towards the collecting energy as his optical sensors scanned the mass...and it gave him just enough warning to move to the side, raising an arm to shield his optics from the blast.
“Parlor tricks, Galaxia?” he questioned - intentional baiting, perhaps?
hakai_no_senshi]: She hadn't planned on hitting him anyway. But his baiting her seemed to catch on slightly. She narrowed her eyes a bit. Her form flickered and vanished again, but this time it reappeared in the air making her almost eye level to him... and even closer than she probably should have gotten.
"Then how about I get up close and personal?" She brought up her hand again and went to release another blast of energy right at his head. It's intention was mostly to knock him backwards and off his feet. She wasn't about to be out done by him.
]: Optimus seemed to grin.
He turned his arm, the piece of armor which formed one of his doors in alt-mode ‘catching’ the blast aimed for his face; it was knocked away by the power, but allowed him to stay balanced on his feet, and with her now so close it only required a moment for him to throw his other arm forwards in a punch. “I don’t mind,” he rumbled in amusement. “Either way, the result is the same…”
hakai_no_senshi: She had to say, she was impressed. He was far more deligent than she had assumed. it would take more power to knock him down. But she found amusement in that.
His punch came forward and might have almost connected, but her form had flickered from view, leaving his punch to go through the air.
No, she wouldn't reappear behind him, though the idea had crossed her mind. Instead she reappeared right on his shoulder... in a sitting position. She smirked and leaned in closer to his head. "I do believe this is going to go on forever if it keeps up like this..."
: …teleportation. And intangibility. He spun around, expecting her to appear behind him as she had before, but then - a weight on his shoulder, and a voice in his audials.
It was instinct more than battle training that sent Optimus Prime’s hand towards her new position, aimed to snatch and grab rather than punch of strike. “…did you have something else in mind?” he asked, not missing a beat.
hakai_no_senshi: She smirked to herself. Of course she barely had time to move when his hand reached up there. Whether she lacked the time or simply allowed him to grab her was unknown. Either way she found herself within his grasp. She was almost curious to see what would happen and did not seem angery about the action.
"I am just stating that this little game is going to continue on as neither of us are going to yield so easily." She tilted her head at him. Even if she was caught she was fully confident that she would be able to get away at any time.
: “A valid point.”__He had no intention of yielding; Galaxia’s capabilities, while impressive, seemed nowhere near what would be required to stop him. And as he pulled her forwards to regard her, Optimus noted that she had all but admitted she was of the same mind. Which left either damage to the point of disablement, or a mutual agreement to stop the battle.
That said, she seemed hardly injured. A bit scuffed, yes, but he found himself in a far better mood than before with his anger replaced with curiosity and a certain respect for her abilities. He turned his hand, releasing her so that his palm was up and allowed her a place to stand or rest, if she so desired.
“Few Cybertronians display your powers, Galaxia. I am impressed.”
hakai_no_senshi: If her powers were not limited she could have shown him what she really could do. But as she was not at her full strength, it would not be easy to take him out. ... Not that she wanted to anyway. It would be pointless and a waste of an ally.
As he turned his hand to release her. She thought for a moment about what all this meant. She had never worked with someone she would ever have considered being an equal. But he was... different.
"And few are able to withstand my abilities... consider me impressed as well." She stood in his hand as she spoke.
: “Mine are simple, almost, in comparison.” Perhaps more powerful, but nonetheless without a certain flashiness. “That said, I am curious to the limits you have, here, if any.”_
A subtle compliment? It was hard to tell. Optimus inclined his head slightly.__“How far can you teleport?”
hakai_no_senshi: Galaxia stood watching him for a moment wondering if she really wanted to tell him just exactly what her limits where. Of course there were some that she would not go into at all. Smirking slightly, she spoke. "Far, I can go from one place to the depths of space normally. Here is a bit diffcult... but traveling through the city itself is an easy task." She shrugged and looked at him once more. "I have a feeling there is a reasoning behind your asking."
: Useful. Moreso if she could bring someone with her. "I am considering how it could be used," he admitted, "To further our plans here. Such an...ability...is desirable." Ah, but if he could only send his Autobots into the midst of the Decepticons, through the ember of their defenses...
Optimus's optics seemed to glow brighter at the thought.
hakai_no_senshi: "I do suppose it would be." She would give him that much. She turned a bit, while still standing within his hand. "There was one I destroyed so easily. The lover of my enemy, I showed up right behind him while he was attempting to give a gift to the girl. His body broke and he faded away so fast, leaving her to gasp in his wake." Just the thought brought back some memories... if only she could have destroyed all the girl's friends in that fashion. "So yes, you could say that the ability is indeed useful."
: He knew he liked Galaxia for a reason. The mental picture she painted with her words was quite the appealing one.
"Do you have a limit on how far you can go? Whether or not you merely require coordinates, or must know the area? How often you can use it, what - or who - you can take with you?"
hakai_no_senshi: So many questions. She thought for a moment before deciding on whether or not to answer them. "There are limits in this world, but I seem to be able to get across the city with no problems. While I can travel blindly, I would rather not do so, knowing the area or at least having a picture makes for less complications." She brought up her hands and folded her arms across her chest. "Why? Do you plan on traveling with me somewhere? I can take another or an object if it is desired."
allaregone: "Perhaps. It would be incredibly useful to be able to appear in the midst of my enemies' base, wreck havoc, and then disappear before they even realized I had killed them.
"And tell me, Galaxia, that you would not find it appealing to delve into the core of those who would cage us here." He seemed to smirk at her, bringing her closer to his face. "Who have limited you so."
hakai_no_senshi: She thought for a moment before unfolding her arms. Her gaze turned deathly serious. "Yes. I wish to destroy those who did this. I wish to make them suffer to bringing me here. I wish to make them pay." And oh how they would suffer. If she could do it on her own she would. She would have destroyed all of them -- leaving nothing left.
: "Then perhaps I could persuade you to a different sort of practice. They cannot dream of stopping our combined power, especially if we perfect a tactic." There was so much more he wanted to know, like a hunger within him, just as loud as anything else and it was the same hunger for knowledge that had driven him so far already-
But this, this was a knowledge he could use. It was a perfect plan, really, and Galaxia held power in herself to rival even an Autobot with their upgraded weapons and armor.
"And once we do...then the true fun begins."
hakai_no_senshi: "I do look forward to this."
