Stellar City Battle Records

[X] You got this! This thing is fast, nimble, small, and able to use its wings as a shield. You just need to get close enough, to eliminate almost all of those advantages! Run forward, use one hand to hold its wings together, and the other pummel it into pieces.

The wind is howling.

Your clothes are but rags.

Yet your flesh remains unscathed by the roaring wind.

You know what you must do. And you have the power to do so.

With your powerful muscles, you kick off the ground, launching yourself forward toward the Sprite. It sees you coming and immediately flies to the side to avoid you. The moment you touch the ground, you realign yourself and charge at your enemy again. A blast of wind buffets you but you ignore it like a mountain ignores a hurricane. It moves again, avoiding your charge.

You won't be able catch it at this rate.

What you need is more speed.

The heat that permeates your body suddenly flares up and instinctively you know you have what you need. As you turn to position yourself for you next charge, you see the Sprite has turned its attention back on Avalon. It raises an arm towards her, whatever mind it has still focused on the elimination of the one that first attacked it.

Well, not this time, alien creature.

The air cracks as you shoot forward once more. Your clothes become nothing more than pieces of scraps flying behind you in the wind. The Sprite turns to aim it's a wind blast at you but it is far too late. Your hand grabs hold of one of its wings – the metal-like material it is made from warping under your crushing grip. The Sprite lets out an ear-splitting shriek of pain but a heat in your ears protects you.

You pull back your other arm and without further ado, you bring down your fist upon the alien monster. Your fist hammers into the body of the Sprite – each strike accompanied by a clang and a slowly weakening alien cry. Wind pushes against you from all direction but you do not stop. You let loose the inner rage and frustration that dwells within your body. You release the beast within and devour your prey.

It is only until it stops moving and becomes silent that you finally stop.

As the heat in your body fades, you suddenly feeling tired as though you had just ran a ten mile marathon at full speed without stopping.

Reluctantly you get to your feet and lift the crumpled form of your victim. You see holes and cracks all across its wrecked body. Instead of blood or any kind of bodily fluid, you see wisps of golden light pouring out from its wounds towards the ground. The clearing is silent. Even the ambient sounds of the forest have gone quiet.

The one to break the silence is none other than Mulder.

"…Damn dude! You have issues, man!"

You turn and take in the looks on everyone's faces. Sakura is both shocked and slightly nauseous at the ruined form of his target. Motoko's face shifts between disappointment and glee behind her camera. And Mulder just has a gobsmacked look on its small face.

"Okay, now what?" You ask as you shove the Sprite towards them.

"What? Oh! Right, of course! Sakura! Quick, assimilate it!" Mulder orders, snapping Sakura from her trance.

"Hoe? Ah! Um, er, here, hang on a second." Sakura shakily gets back onto her feet, no doubt because her legs having lost some feeling due to her sitting on them. Slowly, Sakura makes her way towards you. With a shaking hand, Sakura reaches out and touches the body of the Sprite. "Assimilate!"

A soft glow appears around Sakura's hand before spreading into the Sprite. In seconds, the glow covers the Sprite and starts to grow in brightness. The moment the brightness reaches its peak, the Sprite simply loses cohesion and dissolves into a burst of brightly glowing motes of light.

The small cloud of motes swirl around Sakura for a few seconds before them simply enter her body. Sakura lets out a gasp and slumps to the ground as the last mote disappears into her body. Worried, you go to her side and help her up.

"Avalon? Are you okay?" You ask as you gently shake the girl. Sakura nods and looks up at you with a tired smile.

"I'm fine thanks." Sakura mumbles. Her eyes glances down momentarily and suddenly her face turns red. "Shi-Shinzo-san! Your clothes!"

You look down to see the state of your clothes.

Or rather the lack of clothes.

"Oh my, Takagi-kun. You're rather well built, aren't you?" Motoko says approvingly as she slowly pans the camera up and down your body.

You blush and cover yourself up with a large leafy branch. Hopefully Motoko's van has something that you can wear with dignity.

= = = = = = = = = =

"Hahahahaha! What the heck are you wearing!? It's hilarious"

"Pfft…S-sorry Shinzo-san. It's just looks so…hehehe!"

"I think it looks wonderful, Takagi-kun!"

"…I will kill you all and desecrate the bodies with a large pointy object afterwards."

Turns out Motoko did have some outfits that you could wear. Unfortunately for you, most of them were either too…fetishy for you, too frilly, or just plain weird. You were forced to settle with the only one that you could wear without throwing away your dignity or looking like a male stripper.

A giant bunny mascot outfit.

After letting the others have a good laugh over your predicament, Motoko promised that she'd make you some replacement clothes later as part of her thanks for helping capture the Sprite. Mulder was still mixed about you being involved but he couldn't deny your ability to pummel unruly alien creatures into submission…or coma which was probably what happened to Wind, now named Karusu by Sakura.

With the Sprite defeated and assimilated, it was time to return to home.

Or at least that was the plan up until you heard what was unmistakably the snap of a phone's camera. You swiftly turn your head to where the sound came from and manage to catch tail of a shadowy figure bounding away, deeper into the forest.

With Sakura out of "energy", Motoko being human, and Mulder being a teddy bear, that leave you the only one that might be able to chase after this interloper. However, you're also tired from taking down the Sprite.

You are also wearing a giant bunny suit.

What do you do?

[ ] Chase after the mysterious interloper into the woods. Your power should be able to let you catch up to them quickly, barring any unexpected surprises.
[ ] Let them be for today. They obviously didn't take a photo during the fight since you'd heard them. At worse, they got a photo of you in a giant pink bunny suit with Motoko and Sakura.
