Chapter Six: Split Paths
-
Apollo flipped to the last few tabs. “It says here that the four categories of Ascendii skill are as follows. Strength/Raw Power, Agility/Combat Skill, Speed/Vigilance, and Intellect/Strategy. Even though these seem like categories, they are actually what Ascendii have been OBSERVED to use dominantly?! This part wasn’t written by an Ascendii!” Apollo flipped a few tabs forward. “What?! It says that Ascendii of different skill types work excellently together, while those of similar types tend to be inefficient.” Apollo’s eyes flashed silver as he thought of Katherine. “Katherine’s smart. She doesn’t rely on her physical abilities to take down an opponent. Instead, she finds weaknesses and matches their patterns. Andaluza, you’re completely right about that. You’re muscular so that pairs with strength, Pandora has a sword which pairs with agility and Katherine has tarot cards. We have to find her and show her this book. Don’t use any illegal abilities outside of this room unless we all agree you should. I don’t want to read a news report on Andaluza blowing someone into space or Pandora cut a guy perfectly in half.”
-
Andaluza carefully listened. “What about you, Apollo? You can infiltrate OGA bases of the highest security and you can navigate mazes that take people days in just a few minutes. You can literally dodge a bullet. And you’re able to use a shockwave. You better not appear in the news as the guy who blast waved someone into a volcano. In fact, I’d not want to see that you’re the guy who made the volcano erupt.”
-
“I don’t cut people in half!… I stab them…”, she said crossing her arms.
-
Malice and Katherine went to where Calypsa is at, entering the building and looking around for her and her clients.
-
Andaluza flipped through the pages and found something. “Pandora, here’s something you might want to try.”
Static Spin – A simple way to dodge attacks. Perform a front flip in the air and electrocute yourself. The rest should follow.
-
Apollo rolled his eyes. “What Andaluza is trying to say is that you’re basically an Ascended ballerina.”
-
“I cant front flip though, nor can i do a cart wheel”, Pandora said her eyes widening at the word,’ballerina’ she didn’t like ballerinas either. (lol)
-
Andaluza flipped the pages again. “You know what, you choose your own thing. Here, take this book.” Andaluza handed Pandora the book.
-
*Pandora demonstrated and tried to do a front flip but ended up doing a very slow roll forward, she then tried to do a cart wheel and ended up doing a weird side roll, she hoped up*”I’m not good with rolling”, she confessed,”I can do dis though really easy”, she said before jumping to one side swiftly, she jumped in a perfect box facing the same way.
-
“wait i think i can do it just like dis”, she said before flapping her wings once then front flipping in mid air a dis charge of electricity came infront of her and she ended up ax kicking the ground.”Did it! sort of!”, she said triumphantly.
-
*Pandora handed the book back to Andaluza*”I got this”, she said before glancing at a pencil on the floor near them, she pointed a finger at it.”Boom, fire!”, she said before it burst into flames.(she ignited the metal on it, second power lighting metal on fire)
-
Andaluza sarcastically laughed at that. “Congratulations Pandora! I can generate a hurricane with my lungs and Apollo can create electric earthquakes, but you decided to set pencils on fire!” (Out of character, Andaluza doesn’t find metal ignition a very useful ability but he’ll come around.)
-
“well this pencil is big enough to lop off heads”, she said casually with a strait face, unsheathing her sword and seeing it on fire.
-
Apollo put his hand on Pandora’s sword blade, cooling it down, then using the energy from that to scorch Andaluza’s butt once. “Ok, I get it. Let’s just be happy that Pandora learned something new. Unfortunately she used that to burn my pencil. Now I’m going to have to write with my feathers.”
-
*Pandora plucked a long feather from her right wing and held it out to Apollo*”Sorry for burning it”.
