Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kale started for the shop.

Kale who didn't have time to be sucked up, decided to get the hell out of dodge. Which she did.

As Ben passed through the cloud he realized that in many ways this section was more like a real cloud than the rest of Skypiea, towards the end though he was forced to twist and wriggle to drop out into an area that resembled a village. He spotted a little girl already running towards a group of adults dressed in a similar style but possessing a wide array of weapons, the one towards the center was a very tall man carrying a bazooka and shield with one arm bandaged tightly. Ben nodded to the group and remained where he was in a casual stance as he waited for an invitation to join them or directions in how to act.

To him the situation was a slightly unpredictable one that would be best treated cautiously as he was on their turf instead of neutral ground. The leader nodded to him and began walking forward in a non-threatening manner though Ben did not drop his guard as he observed the man. He nodded slightly to him as he recognized the man. "I am Wiper, leader of the Shandians, I’ve asked you here for a request to fight. I’m hoping that fighting someone that was successful against the priests will allow us to defeat them in the future." As he spoke his body language was a challenge to Ben as a fighter.

Ben smiled at the challenge before setting his bag down to the side and nodding as he replied to the challenge. "Sounds good, is there a good doctor around here or are we holding back a bit?" Wiper in turn smiled as well before saying "We have a few field medics though no superb doctors. It’s good enough to allow us a degree of healing but not for mortal wounds." Ben nodded at the response. "Well I have no problem dealing with your killing intent so long as you’re willing to possibly earn scars from mine. After all, warriors can’t grow unless they fight seriously with their lives."

Wiper laughed and moved back a distance, Ben noted that he wore odd shoes designed to maximize the use of dials on the surface of the clouds and he nodded slightly, he wasn’t without dials himself so he should be able to keep up and learn a bit about maneuvering from observing Wiper during the fight. Ben smiled as he faced off with the Shandian leader with a stillness between them that let each know the other was serious. Wiper though was the first to move as he suddenly aimed his bazooka at Ben after a charge of several seconds fired sending a large blast of light shooting at him.

Ben though had already turned to his side slightly to jump up and to his left, the blast passed harmlessly beneath him as he twisted and drew both pistols with a fierce grin. He then began shooting while running at Wiper regularly changing direction sharply with horizontal jumps that would move him three to five feet to the side each time. As he neared though Wiper jumped himself and aimed his bazooka downwards towards the area he had been in. Ben smiled as he kept running until Wiper fired a shot at which point he acted quickly sliding on the ground just under the shot.

Ben shot at Wiper’s arm only to have Wiper boost to the side to dodge the shot as Ben twisted and activated the jet dial on his right leg to kick at Wiper’s exposed ribs. Wiper managed to block most of the attack with his shield but was still thrown towards the ground. Ben noticed that despite the impact, Wiper was ignoring the pain to press on. Ben smiled as he admired such determination and grinned as a third blast from the bazooka was fired at him while he dropped back towards the ground. Ben smiled as he rolled over to the side reloading his pistol and Wiper reloaded his bazzoka.

Ben smiled as he dashed forward once more, this time he was attempting to bypass the bazooka by attacking Wiper before he had time to reload and fire, especially since the firing of the bazooka had a delay as well. Wiper was just aiming it towards Ben who was ten feet away when Ben lunged and ducked aiming to move beneath the blast radius to attack Wiper’s legs. Yet the Shandian was a skilled warrior and quickly kicked over Ben’s attack while aiming behind him in an effort to kick Ben in the face and knock him back into the bazooka blast. Ben however also had an intense determination to win and as the kick connected he resisted it and ignored the pain as he pushed forward. and tripped Wiper over and pointed his pistol to his head but instead of shooting, he helped him up smiling. "Your pretty good Wiper." Wiper looked back to him and shook his hand. "You too sea dweller." Ben then put his pistols away and walked back the way he came from. "I have to go now but lets do this again some time."

Noah walked into this new place, he hadn't been there before. He had purchased new dials but he needed to learn how to use them correctly. He didn't call out in fear that he would disturb another, that was not his intention. He continued to look, if someone, anyone could help him he'd gladly take the assistance. He grabbed a dial in his pocket, the reject dial this one interested him the most, more than any other. Such a small object could do so much damage, more than any punch. He had heard of its power and realized his body alone wasn't strong enough to defeat others so he needed the help of weaponry like this. If he could utilize it, he'd be able to destroy the one who killed him. As he progressed through the island he wasn't sure if it was a holiday or something because no one was outside.

"You again, get off my island." said the voice as a shadowy figured moved towards Noah's direction. Noah took a step forward, a change he had noticed about himself, he had become more willing to face challenges.
"Who the ******** that?" asked Noah squeezing his new dial as though he'd may have to use. "Names, Wiper you little s**t, don't you remember when I thought you a thing or two about warriors?!" he shouted as he stepped into the light revealing that trademark tattoo of his. "Oh wow. You." said Noah very disappointed.
"HEY! I'm as good as anyone." shouted Wiper angrily. Noah laughed.

Wiper was out, cold. The strength of his own punch multiplied by ten was enough force to make one get knocked out. As soon as he hit the floor a huge bird descended from the sky attempting to snatch him up, but missing, Noah was confused but there was no time to think. Before he could even respond a jousting lance was thrust towards him, grazing him. He was lucky to have escaped with his life, but noticed something, his shirt was catching flame! He didn't understand until he remembered, a dial, the heat dial. But was it truly possibly to place it in a weapon such as a lance, and if so, his cutlass might have a nice little installment soon enough.

Shura went on the attack again this time attacking with his jousting lance, aiming for the face. Noah easily dodged the attack and parried using his cutlass. Slicing his opponent and sending him flying. "Wow, I have to be careful with this guy." said Noah as Shura stood up and began to charge towards him. Noah stood still. A lance would be useless against him, due to his defensive jousting skills, so he wasn't sure what Shura was planning. Noah kicked Shura backwards once more. It was as though he wanted to be hit, there must have been a reason for him to want to get out of the way.
