OOC- Currently the RP I want to live the most. :3
BIC -
Yoshimitsu was uneasy. Sat in his kitchen, a cup of coffee on the table in front of him, watching the news. Nothing exciting. Something on global warming, then about a celebrity's wedding scandal, then about some medical marvel. All boring stuff to him. But something was off. Something not right. He had hoped that the news might have said something unusual, but there had been nothing. He could not immediately sense anything, nor had any of his friends contacted him. Everything was calm, so why couldn't he shake this feeling? Frowning, he downed his coffee then walked through the back door.
Even the weather was calm. A cloudless night, stars twinkling down from above, a canvas of fairy lights. The moon was crescent, casting a soft glow. There was a light breeze, but even it was not chilling, the weather warm. Yoshimitsu approached the edge of the cliff and looked at the sea, calm for once. Nothing. Everything was so quiet. He closed his eyes, allowing his mind to wander for just a moment. Then, he focused and tried to sense. Far away, he could sense his friends and allies. Alex, in his tower. Kilik, in his apartment. Araini, though the location was unknown. As they normally would be. No unusual activity whatsoever.
"What's going on..." He muttered.
"I was wonderin' the same thing," a voice said from behind Yoshimitsu. Instinctively, the blue haired teenager spun round, his hand flying to his sword hilt. His eyes fell on another male who looked roughly the same age, maybe a few years older. Dressed entirely in black, black shirt, black trousers, black shoes, black hair. Had it not been for the moon and the stranger's fairly pale complexion, Yoshimitsu might not have seen him at all.
"Calm down there," Felix said, raising his hands in a peaceful gesture. Yoshimitsu noticed a cigarette in one hand, a ring on the other. "Name's Felix. And, mate, if I wanted to hurt ya, I wouldn't have said I was here, would I?"
"Never hurts to be too careful," Yoshimitsu said, easing up slightly. He kept his hand on his sword, just in case, but let his body relax. "Especially if you're me."
"Careful, huh?" Felix said, lowering his arms and shrugging. "Can't say I know much about that."
"What do you mean?"
"Long story," Felix said, pausing to take a drag of his cigarette. "But if I was careful, I wouldn't be here makin' small talk with you."
"Why are you here?" Yoshimitsu asked, starting to walk back towards the house. "Though, since you are, may as well come in." He walked back to his house, Felix behind him. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Felix immediately sat at the table and pulled the ash tray towards him.
"Like I said, it's a long story," Felix replied, shrugging. Yoshimitsu frowned.
"But you have a reason," he stated. "Want a brew?"
"Yep. Got anything stronger?" Felix asked, his eyes scanning the room.
"There's some beer in the fridge," Yoshimitsu said, taking a cigarette from his own pocket and lighting it with a flame from his finger. "Get me one while you're there." Felix returned with two bottles of beer, which he opened with a swiss-army knife he produced from one of his pockets.
"Cheers," Felix said, swallowing a fair amount of his beer.
"So, give me the short version," Yoshimitsu said. "Or just the part about me."
"Right," Felix said, pulling out what looked like a hand-held computer. "If you look at this, it's a live feed. There's a camera zoomed in from ground level, and a whole buncha them at regular intervals." He pushed the device to Yoshimitsu, who looked at the screen.
"That's the sky," Yoshmitsu said, frowning.
"Yep. Normal sky, right? Stars and moon," Felix agreed. He leant across the table and pushed a button, the image flickering then reforming. "Look at this. Spot the difference." Yoshimitsu looked again.
"It's the same... wait. That star. It's a bit brighter," Yoshimitsu said. "Is this some kind of game?"
"I wish," Felix snorted, pushing another button. "This is a camera in the upper atmosphere, max zoom."
On the screen was what looked like a fireball, blue flames flickering violently. Yoshimitsu frowned. Fire couldn't exist in space. Nothing to burn. He looked closer. It didn't take him long to realise, due to the pattern of the flames. The flames were spreading outwards. It was not fire, something was moving towards the camera at a very high velocity.
"A comet?" Yoshimitsu asked, taking a sip of his beer.
"Not quite," Felix said. He downed his drink, then pushed another button before going to the fridge. "Different filter. That fire's gone."
The image had changed again, though a part of Yoshimitsu wished it hadn't. It looked like it was made of crystal. From what he could tell, it was something humanoid made up of a pale plue, almost aqua crystal. He could see the head, three horns extending from the forehead and two lines of spikes running down the back. Two shoulder plates as well, if he was right, and two wings. Those did not scare him though. It was the eyes. Those glowing, blue eyes. Even through the image, Yoshimitsu thought the could see him.
"What is that thing?"
"Dunno. We're fuckin' clueless," Felix said, returning to the table with another beer. "It's made up of some crystalline substance but we dunno what. The atom structure, from what we can tell anyway, is nothing like anything on Earth. And it looks like it's made up of some space sh*t we've never seen before."
"And it's headed for Earth," Yoshimitsu stated. "Of course it is."
"Yep," Felix confirmed. "On a small island just off the coast of Asia. Fuckin' weird island, looks like it's made up of a buncha different climates."
Yoshimitsu was on the move immediately, standing up and checking what he had on him. Both the Bahamut Blade and Shinkuu were hanging at his waist. He felt for the sapphire necklace around his neck. His mobile phone, just in case. Those were the essentials. Those were what he'd take.
"Now I see why you came to me," Yoshimitsu said, pulling a headband from his pocket. He put it on, pushing the hair that fell to his eyes upwards. "How long until it hits?" Felix hesitated.
"Twenty minutes. Give or take," he said. "What's the emergency?"
"That island is a giant battery. Dejurrin Island," Yoshimitsu explained quickly, urgently. "Underneath its surface is a giant power source. If you can tap into it, you can change the shape of the island. It's got nearly infinite energy. If that thing gets access to it, it's got a stronghold and enough power to become unstoppable. Now," he said, extending a hand to Felix. "You coming?"
"I don't get paid nearly enough for this," Felix muttered, seizing Yoshimitsu's hand. The pair of them vanished, teleporting to the snowfield on Dejurrin Island.

Primus telepoted in beside Yoshimitsu, holding his blade, Hellbreach. Its tall fires quickly lit the area, and made the freezing temperatures a little more hospitable, for the one human present.
"Yeah, I thought that was getting bigger." He looked critically over at the mountain, knowing what was in it, then he looked back a Yoshimitsu. "You may not have noticed, but that thing has a tailgater. You want some help, or do you want to split up once they get down here, and deal with them seprately?" Primus asked, not personally caring either way. His curiosity merely demanded a closer look.

"Good to see you, Primus," Yoshimitsu said, though he did not spare a glance. His eyes were locked in the sky. "I didn't notice, whatever that thing is, it's still too far for me to sense it. Or maybe it's blocking me somehow, I'm not sure."
"Who's your friend?" Felix asked, rummaging through his topics. He was grateful for the flames that the newcomer had created, though a little wary.
"Primus. He's a God. Don't mess with him," Yoshimitsu replied. "And go on, ask. I know you're dying to."
"Alright. What power source? What is it?" Felix asked, pulling out another cigarette. He lit it and took a deep drag before turning his attention back to Yoshimitsu.
"Just that. A power source," Yoshimitsu said. His whole body was tense, his hands on both of his swords, ready. "Underneath the island, there's a giant container filled with energy. It's nothing like any energy on Earth. Ultra condensed into a solid matter. It has enough energy in it to power anything you'd care to name indefinitely. Changing the shape of the island is just one use for it."
"So how come no one's ever tried to use it before?" Felix asked.
"Oh, they have. A few times, actually," Yoshimitsu replied. "But no one really knows about it. I didn't until fairly recently. But even then, it's protected. Trying to get to it when you don't know how it's protected is just suicide." Yoshimitsu glanced at Felix. Something was not quite right.
"So how's it protected?" Felix asked. Yoshimitsu shook his head. Felix was not asking for curiosity's sake. He was gathering information. Yoshimitsu could tell.
"Too long a story. Primus, do you know what's coming aside from that thing?" Yoshimitsu asked.

Primus eye's thinned, he could very nearly see both of the objects clearly. Shrugging, he bowed to the inevitable. Suddenly, he was standing both by Yoshimitsu, and floating high above the Earth in space, getting a closer look. He focused on the thing behind the meteor creature.
"Its a ship, of some kind. I'd say extra dimensional in origin. And I mean planar, not side dimensions. If I had to name it, I'd called it a close combat battleship. Doesn't seem to have any ranged weapons, but its pointy and sharp and probably weighs about fifty time as much as the empire state building. Seems alive to, in a similar way to the thing in front of it." Primus frowned, "I'd say they're both powerful, naked souls." He caught Felix' small frown out of the corner of his eye, and turned to him smiling.
"They're both summons, essentially." He said gently, then turned back. "Whoa, they're speeding up. Hold onto something gentlemen, this is going to make quite a bang. You know what kind of crater a human sized piece of rock can make? No? Well lets put it this way, a pebble generally results in a 2 kilometer crater." Primus said, grinning. "Ah, I still remember my old wonderlust for the stars, who'd have thought they'd start coming to me."

"There's gonna be no damage to the island, Primus," Yoshimitsu said. "The energy released from the impact is gonna be redirected."
"Just what kind of island is this?" Felix asked, turning his ring over in his hand.
"There's no time. Here it comes," Yoshimitsu said.
The impact was incredible. At first, soundless as the crystalline being crashed into the side of the mountain. Yoshimitsu threw up both hands, palms glowing, and created a barrier to absorb the incoming shockwave. Snow was thrown up around them, surrounding them in a bizzard. Yoshimitsu struggled to hold up his barrier, the barrier visibly strained. It was amazing, the amount of force that had been released from the impact. It was definitely more than what should have been. Yoshimitsu's hair flashed into gold, giving him more power to hold up the barrier.
As soon as the shockwave passed, Yoshimitsu's hair faded back to blue. He dismissed the barrier, sparing a glance to Felix.
"Primus, I don't know what I'm facing, but I don't want to be facing two of them. Divide and conquer?" Yoshimitsu suggested. He raised his palm to his face, and looked as though he was pulling at something invisible in front of him. With a mighty wrench, his mask formed. "Felix, stay out of trouble."
With a small shockwave Yoshimitsu shot at the mountain with both swords drawn, ready for combat.
OOC- Basically, me and Prime are having our characters seperately fighting two things. That's two entry points for people - help Yoshi or help Primus.

With some concentration, Primus teleported himself to the top of the mountain. The ship, thing, which had been following the meteor was already there, smoothly hovering over the mountain. Primus got a sence of unbridled curiosity eminating from it, and almost smiled.
"What does a child do when it first see's an ant?" He asked the air rhetorically. Primus heard a great grinding sound, and then a small segment of the ships blade like hull lifted, and ejected itself. It flew towards the mountain with incredable speed. Primus ran down the mountain, and batted it aside at its impact point, only to find that with this ship, such things were not so easy.
The shard was immensely heavy and fast, and slammed into Primus with a force not unlike that demonstrated a few moments ago. The rock cracked under him, and his sword flared up with more ferocity, trying to protect itself from a beating that it truly couldn't take. Primus held out his opposite hand, and another sword, Alcreation, appeared it in. The Earth blade hummed with purpose, and Primus struck the shard with it. Part of the mountain rose up behind him, an a multitone stream of stone fell on the thing, pushing it finally down and into the mountainside with a crash.
Primus looked up, at the battleship hovering in the sky. He thought hard, but couldn't come up with any real alternatives. Both of the swords he had been holding vanished.
They were replaced with a mirrored, sky blue and gold leaf bladed sword, with a graceful 3/4ths oval emerging from a simple flair of a guard, and a graceful gold handle, slanting in the opposite direction. The blade was multisegmented, the gold sharply projecting from the surface, the skyblue sunken in.
"Good evening Skyshape." Primus said, and the sword answered with odd chiming sounds, as though quite pleased to see him. Primus smiled, feeling slightly uplifted. He jumped down below the shard, and a sharp upswing send the shard flying back towards its mothership at speed.
Primus teleported, reappearing on top of the battleships hull. He felt a sense of something huge taking notice in him, directing its full attention at him. Primus nodded, not overwhelmed as he once might have been. Several scales ejected from the hull, furiously heading towards Primus, who batted them all aside with speed and little effort at all. Primus drew the sword back, and swung with considerable strength.
A line of crackling blue/white energy tore across the surface of the ship, heading towards the bridge. Until, of course, every scale on the ship popped up, turning the whole thing into a porcupine, and flinging the energy outwards and into space. Then the ship quickly began to roll, trying to throw Primus off. He grabbed one of the scales, beating against the hull of the ship with his sword. Slowly denting and cracking it, until finally, he had himself an entrance.
The scale he was holding onto ejected itself, trying to cut his hand off, but though he spun violently his hand remained unharmed. He dove into the interior of the ship. It ejected all its shards at once, covering the island with celestial metal, and a web of silver that connected to each shards back end.

Yoshimitsu landed on the side of the mountain, hearing Primus's fight as though it was muffled. His concentration was on the alien crystal entirely, everything else becoming secondary. There was some damage to the mountain, but not nearly as much as there should have been. The impact point was covered with floating dust that spiraled around almost artistically. As soon as Yoshimitsu's feet touched the ground, one of the few sections of the mountain with a flat level wide enough for combat, the dust was pushed away. Yoshimitsu saw the alien fully for the first time.
It was a pale blue, almost aqua in colour, standing at least a foot taller than Yoshimitsu. On his head it had three horns, one pointing up and the other two diagonally to the side, all three curved back very slightly. Its face had no features other than two glowing eyes. It had the same shoulder guards Yoshimitsu saw earlier, each one made of two plates. Its body looked like it was made of several plates for each part, its chest asymmetrical. Covering the back of each hand was a flat piece of crystal that barely reached the base of the fingers. Its calves were thicker than its upper legs, ending with clawed feet. Its pevlic area had a glowing crystal, partially shielded by a curved plate. The two wings Yoshimitsu saw before were also present, looking as though they, too, were made of plates of crystal.
"What's so special about you, then?" Yoshimitsu asked. He did not get a verbal response, though he had not expected one. The alien attacked him, its humanoid body moving in a way Yoshimitsu knew how to fight. The first aerial kick was dodged, Yoshimitsu ducking and the alien passing over his head. He spun his sword round before his body, the blade meeting the alien's forearm. As quickly as his body would allow, Yoshimitsu twisted his body into a violent spin in the air, his foot connecting with the alien's other forearm. Yoshimitsu landed crouched, both swords held in a cross shape, the monster's fight meeting them rather than his face. With a sudden rush of energy, Yoshimitsu forced his blades forward and released a wave of blue and black darkness, forcing the Alien away from him.
Yoshimitsu charged at the alien again, but he heard something. Instinctively, he dived to the side, a giant blade crashing into the ground where he was about to be. Reacting quickly, he jumped and kicked off the blade, higher into the air. The alien was stationary. Yoshimitsu frowned as he rose, shifting his grip on the Bahamut Blade slightly. At the peak of his leap, the alien shot up after him. Yoshimitsu should have expected it. He was most vulnerable at the peak of the jump. However, he was not completely defenseless. With a mighty slash, he released a wave of blue and golden flames from the Bahamut Blade, slowing the ascent of the alien just long enough. Yoshimitsu spun in the air and brought Shinkuu slashing at the alien before it could attack him, the blade meeting the creature's forearm again. Yoshimitsu pushed himself from the creature and landed next to one of the blades from the battleship.
"Alien, what do you want..." He muttered.

Primus ran through the interior of the ship, through really quite beautiful halls of steel and other precious metals. The interior of the ship was covered with strange glyphs and ruins, and Primus instictively recognized most of them, and knew their purpose.
Bladed tendrils emerged from the walls at every opportunity, trying to tear him apart, or at least slow him down. A great many were aimed for his legs, but were defied by his blade Skyshape. As he ran through the ship, he slowly began to learn things about it, including its name. A repeating Glyph, generally followed by a number referencing location on the ship.
It was called the Ragathorm. Primus approve of the name, on a deep level he didn't quite grasp as of yet.
He fought on through the ships corridors, batting aside steel and worse things, seeking an answer to his question. How to master such a ship, from where does one take control of this curious and uncontrollable living thing.
Power source would probably be the best bet.
Primus grinned, women always won by going for the heart.
He laughed heartily as he flung himself down a low corridor, seeking the 'heart' of the great ship.
Outside the battleship Ragathorm jerked and swing, pulling great pieces of the island ajar, and causing others to sink deeper from its antics. As it rolled and spun, it even ripped of the tip of the mountain, sending it tumbling down the rock face towards unsuspecting warrior below.
It caught and was tangled in the silver strands, but the ship Ragathorm hardly seemed interested in stopping to rock, and so it continued to fall.
Inside the ship, Primus was surrounded by an ever greater storm of steel, and he privately thought that it may well be impossible for any other to make it this far. His immunity to the blade and his immense skill with his own were what had spared him so far, but some of the traps along the way were dangerous even to him.
He doubted the ship could cause his death, but it could almost certainly cause him to retreat with some amount of injury.
Finally, he found his way to the ships heart, its power source. Several great stone rings, ever larger, spinning around and inside each other. At their center, a silvery, glowing metal. It lashed out at Primus with everything from blades to tentacles, barbs and blunts and everything it could think of. The ships length shook as Primus let loose insane energies from his blade Skyshape to turn them aside.
Finally, one length of energy pierced the ships heart, and it convulsed. Though it did not stop fighting, Primus felt it begin to lose heart.
Outside, the ship slowly sagged, its great tip pointing towards the Earth, and then it fell from the sky. It tip impacted the new tip of the mountain, and drove itself home with insane weight and pressure. Rock crumbled as the mountain struggled to absorb and contain this new weight. The island became somewhat wider, making space for the ship, as it slowly sank into the earth.

There probably wasn't a soul on the Earth that hadn't heard the impact of the object, though only a handful at best knew what it was. Fewer still probably knew where it was. Kuro was not one of those privileged individuals. The impact had woken him with a start, and he rolled out of his hammock onto the floor. Slowly he got to his feet as the fog of sleep slowly lifted. In his barely conscious mind, he knew something had to be up and he got dressed as quickly as his mind allowed, nearly putting his boots on the wrong feet and fumbling with his black slacks. He streeeetched and yawned as he slipped a Punisher shirt on and then focused his senses. If there was anything his life had told him is that large booms come from large weapons or powerful beings. He reached out with his senses, feeling for a spike in power on the planet and it didn't take long; there was a massive one. Kuro teleported to the location.
Appearing in the air above Yoshimitsu and looking down at the battle going on between him and the odd blue creature, Kuro asked, "You need a hand?" while wiping the crust out of his eyes. Kuro didn't know the story of what was going on and he didn't really know Yoshimitsu save by reputation, but he felt that the blue being was the source of the disturbance seeing as how there was a very alien ship nearby surrounded by dust and debris from the mountain.
Kuro stretched once more and scratched the stubble on his face. He felt odd without his sunglasses, but it wasn't really wise to wear them at night.

Primus ducked a long coil of steal, narrowing avoiding having his head ripped off. Where the heart had sagged before, now it seemed as if it had gone berserk. Waving anywhere without tactic or aim or care, it had gone completely insane with rage and pain. Primus found himself pressed in a corner, letting loose insane energies to keep the mad thing at bay. He could feel the ship stirring as it powered up.
Outside, the whole ship began to glow with blue and red energy, like a net of misty energy covering the ship. It burst outwards, causing the scales to glow bright red, and the watery cables that connected them to the ship to glow a blue so bright it was nearly white. Suddenly, the hundreds of scales combined in groups, to create around fifty titanic sword. They rose from the ground, moving with the speed of the astrological.
They were meteors, leaving burning trails of heat and ozone behind them as they waved about wildly, cutting the island and the sea for 50 miles in every direction. Blood slowly floated around the island, in small pools, as great sea creatures were carved up by the insane ship. It rose slowly from the mountain, wrenching it apart in its rage, and then the whole ships brilliance rose to a new level, as a great spike spanning half the length of the ship catapulted from the tip with insane force. It sent dust and dirt into the air, covering the entire island and hiding it from the sun.
Primus gave himself a pat down, lying on top of the blade. Truly lucky he'd been on the inside of the ship with the bloody thing fired. Apparently the reactor itself directly applied energy to its main weapon. Essentially shooting out a massive reactor wall. Primus hopped off the massive projectile, and wondered what the hell to do next. The insane ship started directing its massive, titanic blades at him, and the mountain started to dissolve around him as he parried and guarded, letting lose huge amounts of his Sunshapes power to bring the massive blades to a belated halt.
His body shoot under the pounding, and the mountain shook no less. One of his wider parries cut one of the mountainsides down, and as it tumbled down the mountain, Primus followed it, using it as covered until he quickly teleported high above the battleship. He spent a moment catching his breath, not that he actually needed to, and then his sword slowly began to glow with blue/gold light. It expanded slowly, but with purpose, building up for one massive strike against the insane Ragathorm.

OOC - The damage I'm talking about is superficial, and the mountain isn't anywhere near gone. Just some if it looks like its been chewed on by a dragon. And I'm sure any damage that is there an be repaired by your plot essential device. Honestly it isn't any worse off then it was then the ship yank some of it up and some of it down. It still has the same mass and area, and the same shape. Minus a small rock face, and the mountain being a little shorter.
EDIT - Also I liked your MSN response better.

Yoshimitsu skidded back, one arm wrapped around his torso. He was lucky. A punch like that could easily have broken bones, and probably would have done if he hadn't reacted in time. Almost an act of desperation, he thrust his palm at the alien and fired a blue and black beam of darkness. The alien was forced backwards, its clawed feet digging into the ground, giving Yoshimitsu just enough time to get into the air. "Hey Kuro," Yoshimitsu greeted. "Watch this. Should be a good show." It had been subtle at first, but now it was obvious to see. All of the damage to the island, the craters and gashes made by both the alien and the battleship, had been filled with a mysterious substance. At first, it was unnoticible. However, the substance was glowing brightly. The light it was omitting was bright, easily enough to make up for the fact that it was night time. Yoshimitsu braced himself in the air, ready for what was about to happen. It had the force of an explosion. With a resounding boom, a massive surge of kinetic energy was blasted out in a shockwave. The wave caused Yoshimitsu's clothes to ripple around him, threatening to rip themselves from his body. The blades from the battleship had become dislodged, replaced as the island repaired itself. No doubt this would happen more than once. Between the alien and the battleship, the island was guaranteed to suffer worse injuries than the ones inflicted so far. "The island's almost sentient. Whenever it gets damaged, it responds by healing then trying to get rid of whatever's causing the damage," Yoshimitsu explained to Kuro. "Not surprising, really. Stuff like this happens more often than I'd like to admit. I just wish it-" Yoshimitsu was cut off by a powerful kick to the shoulder. With a sickening crack, he felt his collarbone snap and was sent plummeting to the island again. His body immediately reacted by sending a rush of healing energy to the injury, but he was vulnerable. Luckily, the alien had diverted its attention. Instead of Yoshimitsu, it was targetting Kuro. The crystal pannel covering the back of one of its hands suddenly extended, forming a blade. With a powerful swing, it brought the arm blade slicing round at Kuro's head. OOC- @kuro, please don't kill or damage my alien too much

Kuro teleported about to avoid the ship's onslaught while he watched as the island healed itself and found himself squinting in the growing light; Yoshimitsu was right, this was interesting. The explosion succeeded in waking him completely up and he was listening to Yoshimitsu's explanation when the crystalline creature seemed to break Yoshimitsu's collarbone with a flying kick. As Yoshimitsu shot to the Earth, Kuro was about to ask if Yoshimitsu had accepted his offer for help, but it seemed that this decision wasn't to be made by either of them as the azure alien seemed to want to pick a fight with Kuro.
Rushing at him, a blade instantly grew from its hand and it swung at Kuro's neck in an attempt at decapitating him. The Saiyan quickly created his own blade on the arm the alien's swing was directed from and rose it vertically to block the blade. Looking into the creature's eyes, he asked "Can't you guys ever come in peace?" With that he parried the blade away with a spin and his non-bladed hand swinging to backhand the alien. Although the alien had tried to decapitate him, Kuro didn't want to kill him as he didn't know the story here. His mission was to get it to cease hostilities and to protect Earth's warriors. Besides, it wasn't like having his head cut off would stop Kuro anyway.

Primus fell towards the Ragathorm, his sword shining like the sun above. Blue and gold energies coalesced in his sword. The wind whistled fiercely, as Primus fell faster than gravity pulled. He looked around below for his companions, and watched them disappear slowly under the massive battleship. As they left the realm of sight, he shifted himself into his true, godly form. A naked genderless being with a reiment of blades floating above his back and shoulders, a mouthless, noseless face with nothing besides deep gold eye's to distinguish it and give it character.
His body shone white and mixed with the light of the sword, creating a blue white, and gold horizon surrounding the battleship, or so it appeared from below. Primus crashed into the ship with godlike force, cutting the metal that held it as one, and sending it crashing to the ground with deadly force. He rather did hope that the two below had noticed in time to get out of the way.
He shifted back to his normal human form, but his sword was already glowing again, building for a second strike against the now slightly crippled ship.

Yoshimitsu hit the island with far too much force for his liking. Undoubtedly another couple of bones broken. His arm was bent at an unnatural angle, and his chest felt like someone had just smashed it with a sledgehammer. Gritting his teeth, he dragged himself to his feet. With a grunt of pain, he snapped his arm back into place, relocating the bones. Then, he allowed his healing energy to take over, green sparks playing over all of his injuries and mending his body.
"Don't you look rough," Felix said, stepping up beside him. Yoshimitsu spun to face him.
"Yeah, that happens when someone slams you into the ground," he replied.
"No shit," Felix said, shrugging. "How's it going up there?"
"Kuro can handle himself," Yoshimitsu said, shrugging. He winced as he did so. It'd be a moment before he could re-enter the fray.
"Figured as much. Need me to call in reinforcements?" Felix offered.
"Who do you work for anyway?" Yoshimitsu asked.
"Somehow, I don't think that's ya biggest concern," Felix replied. Yoshimitsu gritted his teeth again and shot into the sky, re-entering the fight.
Kuro's hand smacked into the side of the alien's head but even though it was forced away, no damage seemed to have been done. It was about to spin round for another attack when its arm blade met Yoshimitsu's sword.
"Hiya beautiful," Yoshimitsu said, his blade thrown up in defense. With a rush of energy, Yoshimitsu forced the alien's blade away from him and sent the alien flying. With a brief thumbs up to Kuro, he blasted after the crystalline creature, ready for the next round.

Kuro nodded at Yoshimitsu. This fight would be his, unless he needed assistance. Kuro teleported to avoid the debris flying from the ship's impact. He had teleported above Primus and looking down, he commented, "I don't believe I've met you either..."
"I've been outta the loop far too long," he thought. New warriors were springing up all over and he felt like a relic of the past. Still, he didn't spend his time as a crazy hermit for nothing. He had some new tricks up his sleeve as well as a reforged resolve. He'd show any challenger, alien or terrestrial, he was still a force to be reckoned with.

The Earth rumbled as the battleship Ragathorm once again powered itself off the ground. Its great weapons flashed towards Primus, who darted under them and once again fell at speed towards the ship. A dance of spark and blade followed just behind him. Primus threw a salute to Kuro as he sailed by.
The great ship below slowly turned to sit on its engines, pointing up towards space. Primus heard a great humming from the ship, and indeed the sonic waves reached down to shake the island.
"Oh hell." Primus said, and the ship launched its main projectile at him. The giant fore section of the ship shot for him at insane speeds, hitting the escape velocity in seconds, and Primus truly only had one option to stop it.
His blade glowing like the sunset, he smote the giant blade for all he was worth. It still shot off into the sky, but thankfully not making an unwelcome hole in Primus.
He fell faster now, forcing himself at speed towards the ship. Its blades danced but Primus sensed the end at hand, allowing himself to become battle by the blades as he fell.
He came to a dead stop before the ship, and darted into the tunnel that the projectile had left behind. He could hear it descending behind him, being recalled to trap him outside and crush him.
Primus laughed, the Skyshape blade glowing brightly one last time. There was a flash of great light and energy, and thunder rolled across the outer skin of the battleship. It arced down below, putting those on the island in danger. And then, the battleship fell from the sky, crashing down with much flinging of dust and cracked stone.
Primus flew to the center of the ship, and the core, which now beat slowly. I could not resist him as he touched it. Primus shook his head, "You are to great a thing to be allowed to die." There was a white flash through the core, and suddenly it was absorbed into his hand. The white flash traversed the ship, and soon it followed its heart into Primus'.
Primus slowly sank to the ground as the ship disappeared, looking over at Yoshimitsu to see how he was doing.
