Ji-Dan’s death or glory attack brought him both. Nailing a decisive blow upon the monster but putting him inside his reach. He was easily lifted and crushed to a tree. The wind knocked out of him, only to be followed up by a knee to his face.
The coppery taste of blood tinged his tongue and...
Damn! This beast was even more nimble than he appeared. Strength, size, speed, and cunning. Truly this thing couldn’t be human. He was obviously toying with him, the wretched evil, holding back when he obviously held every advantage over the Tiandi.
Ji-Dan was growing tired and he’d thus far...
Ji blocked right, falling for the feint, but saw the pommel strike coming this time and simply turned in place to dodge before pushing the axe handle away with the flat of his string. He then leaped into a twirl to bring his blade chopping down aimed at his opponent’s head.
Ji-Dan was saved from being cleaved in two only by his years of Kung Fu and the luck that his helmet took the brunt of the disorienting blow beforehand.
He aerial cartwheeled over the ax’s blade, time seeming to slow as the snow gave shape to the air where he once stood being shorn as his body...
It worked. The move was one he didn’t expect. This brute was not without a warrior’s cunning.
The strike knocked Ji-Dan’s helmet clean off his head, exposing his wild, black as night, hair. Luckily it was the now dented headgear that took the blow so he was shook but not entirely disoriented.
The sparks flew out and Ji-Dan saw the fiery red hate in this creatures embers where his eyes should be. His counter parried, he at least put some distance between them. Ji held his dao low and at his right, before bringing the blade tip up aligned with his left shoulder and across his chest...
Ji-Dan sidestepped the crashing axehead, almost gliding around the giant.
“Wu Nai Tian Di!” He shouted as he tried to swipe at the rib section of this beast as he passed.
Ji-Dan heard what could only be likened to a rhino charging through the brush and as he spun in his fighting stance, he beheld something out of a nightmare. A mountain of muscles and bone. Ji could only shout what he truly thought was before him.
“Yaoguai!” He would not run though. He took a...
Ji-Dan crept around the exterior and he heard something on the inside. The sound of deep throated laughter and celebrating. His confusion only grew about these other visitors to this land.
Before he could think further on it though, his ankles were snagged in a rope and he was hung from them by...
Every sense in his head told him to run. But this snow was not letting up and he couldn’t no for sure what else was waiting out there. Safety was inside this monstrosity.
He tried to sneak as far as he could from where he heard the sound, trying to find some means of ingress.
Ji-Dan’s hand snapped from resting at the hilt to halfway down the scabbard which he pulled loose from his belt, holding it out in front of him. His free hand was open with his arm raised, protecting his head.
His movements were controlled but his heart was now beating like he’d been struck by...
Such was this unnatural (to him) snow, that Ji-Dan didn’t notice the log built holdfast until he stumbled upon the clearing leading to its front gate. He squinted through the fog, rising above this fortress was the tell tale smoke of a fire. It would appear someone managed to build a Keep here...
The snow fell heavy around Ji-Dan Yen. It blanketed in an eerie silence. The crunching hoof falls of his horse rung loud as thunder against it this blanket. He pulled his fur lined armor tighter around his body to keep warm. No manner of creature could live here save some form of demon.
Yet he...
Togo climbed his way up the platforms, sniffing the air as he went along. He chose to do this to search for clues or survivors, not because he had to. Of course, his nose caught the stinging fume of aerosol and he was taken aback as he saw its source, a frightening mural on the side of the...
Togo drove his hovercraft over the surface of the water. He came upon a lifeboat bobbing in the waves. He pulled and checked the occupants. They were still alive but barely. The man tried to weakly shove at Togo, saying he’ll get infected to.
He stopped when he saw who it was, he smiled before...
Togo was hanging out on a cliff outcropping of a mountain just outside of Anchorage. It may not be a particularly big city but to Togo it was a marvel to behold. People working together without even realizing it, with devices someone created and gave to others for a profit. Even the idea of...

“Nonsense. You’re exactly the type of person I’m looking for. Everyone is.” He lowered his cup to toast with the smaller bot. “Till all are one.” He drank. “What about you Scrounge? What have you been up to since the peace?”
