The sound of a static-y boom echoed in the empty building as the Hollow appeared seemingly from nowhere, still clad in his black-fur trimmed white robes and his horned mask. He took a few glances around before lifting his head]
This better be worth my time.

It's a test, and though Slade already knows what manner of creature Shiro is, it's always helpful to witness such things first-hand.]

Won't even spare some real opponents? Heh!
[the cocky laugh is accompanied by a now glowing sword. The pure white blade glows with a bright white and red energy] Getsuga Tenshou.
[he slices the blade across the air, releasing a crescent-shaped swath of energy, knocking out every robot in its path. What robots aren't destroyed outright are blow back as if trapped by a gale. The energy cuts a gash in the floor as it surges forward, finally colliding with a wall and exploding in a blinding flash of white and red light.
Sure, it was flashy and it was definitely overkill, but why the hell not, right?]

A few keystrokes later, and the robots that weren't particularly damaged have arisen and spread out. Explosives and lasers are standard by now, and there's no restriction whatsoever on how much force they're allowed to use.
There is a strategy to it, though, which he'll implement after a few minutes.]

He stepped into the warehouse with all senses alert, armed and armored and prepared for any kind of trap he could imagine. The vague whispers in his soul had gone quiet for most of the day, but he was ready to use the Rune if need be.

To begin with, he'll send a handful of his robotic creations to surround him surreptitiously. Geddoe's reaction will determine Slade's next course of action.]

All right, you get two minutes to keep me interested. [She starts out in Spanish, but repeats the same thing in Japanese.]

If that is the case, however, she is certain that she will be able to express her irritation to the parties responsible.]

With ease, he detaches himself from the shadows, as much a part of them as the night itself.]
Welcome to the arena, Lady Shiva.
I trust you enjoyed your flight.

[She is both pleased and irritated; pleased because he won't deign to insult her with anything less than one-on-one combat, and irritated because......... he's implying that he knew where she was what the hayull man. But now she will be able to measure his worth firsthand, instead of relying on her impressions of her own version. She's had a limited amount of time to stretch her muscles after the flight, but Shiva is already going into a stance, the planes of her face betraying nothing but cool and passionless confidence.]
Shall we begin?

Assuming his own stance, his expression mirrors her own, cool and calculating. He's made a point of studying her technique, the tactics she uses against his robotic creations, so he already knows she's a formidable opponent. The difficult part, however, will lie not so much in fighting her but rather in using the fight to persuade her to join his side.
Poised and at ready, his eye never leaves her.]
After you.

Profit, hmm. This should be interesting.

As if in response to his voice, somewhere in the warehouse, a door slides open, inviting Chronos to enter.
If he does, an elevator will take him down.]
Reply
But curiosity does get the best of him, and he goes through the door into the elevator. He taps his arm imaptiently. ]

Clocks. Clocks are various shapes, sizes, and ages, depending on where (and when) they are from. The room seems almost out of place given the rest of base (for it is that), but perhaps that is the point.]
