Deadzone has posed:
Tatum stretches here in the room, dressed in her X-uniform. Dark blue and yellow and about as skintight as anything else she wears, she makes sure all her straps are buckled and zips are zipped. She looks up to the control room and smirks. "So, Scooter, I think we should take it easy on him at first. Just a good work out for now before you go trying to kill us?"

Cyclops has posed:
"That is not accurate, Tatum," Scott responds through the microphone, the noise carrying into the room around them. He's behind the glass, fingers working the controls as he finishes programming round one. "I don't try to kill you. I try to train you so you can keep from getting killed. Very different things." He makes a tsking noise as he works. "David, everything you see will see and feel real but it's all a training excercise. We want to learn what your limits are, what you are capable of. If at any time you are uncomfortable, say the word 'Cyclops' and I'll know to shut it down." See? He's nice. Despite what everyone else says.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
David of course is in the Danger room as he asks. "So This is like a Holodeck from Star Trek? One problem Scott you should take into account. If I cut the holograms in here, I won't feel pain. When My wires come into contact with a Nervious system it produces a feedback my father discovered." Which means against robots and such he would be very devistating. Such as Sentienals. "Still pressure cuts should be programed in. Make sure that the Program can account for that as I won't willingly cut someone." Flexing and stretching he will draw up as his heart rate increases slightly and he is waiting there in his standard street clothes sword on his back.

Deadzone has posed:
Tatum snorts softly. "I love how he says he isn't gonna try to kill us," she mutters over to David with a smirk. She rolls her eyes when Scott gives David a much nicer option then he ever gave her. She pulls out her batons and twirls them in her hands. "Sort of like, yeah. Hank would give you all sorts of explanations, but from what I can tell.. yeah. Holodeck."

She nods her head slowly. "Definitely want you around for the big nasty robots then."

Cyclops has posed:
There are no more words through the microphone and the world goes dark for about a second.

A moment later, they are standing on an empty street with tall buildings on either side. Looks a bit like the lower east side in NYC if anyone has been there. There are no people, no cars. It's just a location. This particular scenario is simple. A group of thugs round a corner. There are about six of them total, street gang types with their colors showing boldly in their choice of fashion. A few have pipes. A couple have knives. No guns. Not in round one.

They simply charge at David and Tatum.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
"Big nasty? Oh the Sentinels. Ever think about Data spikes? Something dad was working on to over tax some systems. All it would need is to get into them to be effective." he says and then Looking at the group when they appear David says, "Ah street Gang, I think I can handle them." and with it David lunges at them meeting them halfway he does something unexpected he actually drops to the ground just as he enters Melee and then rolls under his legs.

Using his momentum he will trip the Thug and then spin his legs out at another one using the momenttum to stand up. He Catches one Punch thrwn at him and pulls it stepping aside to thrust it down so that the guy ends on his back a Swift kick to the head makes him hit his head against the ground knocking him out.

David knows how much force is needed as he turns deflecting another punch aim for him and then turns to Knife Chop the side of the guy's neck nice and h ard to make him recoil. The Guy getting up is now in a position to be dealt with as David flows from the knife chop to perform a round house kick to the guy's head.

No fancy flips, spins, or moves. He concerves his energy, reserving his strength and power for when it is needed.

Deadzone has posed:
Six against two? No guns? Yeah, this is going to be cake. Tatum stays back, letting David star in the show here. After all, this isn't her first time in the Danger Room. She twirls her batons and follows David, knocking the thugs out cold after they have they have fallen. "You're doing well. Course, that only means he's going to turn up the difficulty."

Cyclops has posed:
Would he do that?

Going by the group coming around the corner, yes, yes he would.

This time the gang is about ten. Several have handguns which they point at the pair in front of them. Two of the gang appear to be metahumans of some type. One looks like a porcupine and he has the quills to go with it. He fires a round of these at the pair from a distance of twenty feet, the quills spiking through the concrete in front of them so they know the power they are dealing with. The other is purple and he is weilding some sort of enegy blasts.

Round 2

Deadzone has posed:
Seeing the next group, Tatum smirks. "Now we're talking. Something I get to sink my teeth into." She forces out her field towards the metahumans, wrapping them up to take at least that much away from them. "Can you use those threads of yours to disassemble the guns?"

David Akenda (207) has posed:
"Ah Sorta like waves of eneMIES!" The Sight of the gun being leveled as are the porcupine quills being fired is enough for David to step infront of Tatum, and then comes his wires. Instantly the Wirss Slice the bullet, shredding it so that fine particles hit David's chest. The Quill doesn't Fair Any better. As David now uses his wires like a Grapple and with a flick of his wrist actually lanuches himself into the air. A Small Black ball pulled from his coat pocket, And then he flings it at the Guy with an Energy Blast.

As the Ball homes in on his Face, a slender wire guides it and then it explodes into the brown Powder.

The Air fills with the Scent of CINNOMIN! Has any one here seen those Cinnomin challenges? Where people try to swallow spoon full of cinnomin? Know why most always cough it up? It's Hydro Phobic, it repells water and moisture. What are the lungs full of? Moisture. If these guys are programed to respond as living people. Purple guy shiould be reduced to a fit of Coughing while David uses his wires with he lands, and uses it to Slice the Guns apart before a hand thrust to a Solar plexus. Knowing the wind out of him, as he now back hands the hopefully Dequilled mutant. To allow him to Deal with and knock out the Power guy...

Cyclops has posed:
Thanks to Tatun, the power blasts are useless. They fizzle out before they ever get near the two. Quills is still spikey but he loses his ability to fire. Then they are both removed from the equation with ease by David. The guns are already out of play thanks to those wires, leaving a handful of regular thugs for them to deal with.

It can't be that simple though. Which is when they feel a thud of something large moving closer, even as the thugs move in to start fighting hand-to-hand with both of them. The vibrations get stronger then a full 20 foot tall Sentinel rounds the corner. <MUTANTS DETECTED.> Then he raises an arm to fire a repulsor.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
Upon Seeing the Sentinel David's Eyes go wide as he says, "SCOTT If Get out of this!" He doesn't finish the line as he will actually lunge beyond the Blast but still takes some of it. Instantly he tucks into a Roll as he lands on his feet. "Father please let those stories of Black Dragon be true!" And he will then uses his wires to wrap around his blade. the Blade Shimmers and sheens as he uses his wires in their sharpest form. Wrapped around the blade.

He has is pleased it hasn't been destroyed. As he uses his wires to slice the ground out under the Sentinel. The Weight of the Sentinel shoould make it Collapse the ground as David uses his Wires from that hand now blunted to whip down and the ground and fling himself into the air. intending to bring that sword which is now covered in those wires and able to slice through molecular bonds to slice through the back of the Sentinel's head.

Deadzone has posed:
Tatum does love having her power. There is something about taking away a person's ability to attack her that just feels good, perhaps a leftover of when she was a much angrier individual and depriving people of something they valued was enjoyable for her.

With the other mutants taken care of, Tatum is able to concentrate on the other thugs. Her style is non-deadly, but incapacitating all the same, with pressure point attacks that leave her victims laying on the ground and unable to use their limbs.

And then there is the booming sound of the approach of a Sentinel. Tatum pauses to look up where the control room is. "Seriously? We're only on level three!" she yells up at Scott and grumbles. "Okay, kid. These things adapt and I'm pretty much useless againsst them. Don't do the same attack twice in a row, or you can kiss it good-bye as an option."

Cyclops has posed:
Perhaps to someone's surprise, the trick works. The sword is able to breach the metal outer skin of the Sentinel and exposing the inner workings. But even as it is floundering on it's knees on the ground, a hand is coming up behind it to try and grab David and pull him away before he can do more damage.

Round 3 continues....as round 4 starts creeping in from the shadows.

This was made for David. This is testing his powers, his fighting, his skills. But it's a psychological test too. For what is coming now out of the woodwork like roaches fleeing a burning building? Asassins. Ninjas. Cloaked in black and bristling with weapons as they prepare to attack the boy and get their vengeance upon his bloodline.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
David's sword has breeched the insides. His WIREs are inside as he holds the blade. "TOO LATE" His Wires untangle and lash out full cutting power. The insides of the head are sliced and diced. ANYTHING that is as hard as titanium or softer is sliced through as the wires force down into the chest, slicing there, the joines cables, computers everything, The Arm Drops to the ground as he keeps gutting it from the inside as the sentinal simply shuts down and moments later David';s wires Explode from inside slicing it from the inside out. "Not so tough on the inside Are you?"

He's in a state of mind, survival, as he is loosing touch with the fact this is a simulation. And finally the Ninja's Come and David drawing his blade lunges at them, Wires come out braging legs and pulls them out. The Rage on David's face is there, the anger. The desire to kill, destroy, but he ises his wires and sword to deflect blows, gran arms and break them. Legs and knees are snapped, A hand thrusting a dagger is stopped mid air as wires wrap around his covered forarm and then with a vicious twist the arm is broken in three places. Each wire aloows him to pull up to his own body weight.

Incresce that by each wire? totally 100? David can generate incredible levels of force as he is slashing with his sword slicing kneecaps.

containing the rage the desire to kill.

Deadzone has posed:
Tatum holds her own against the ninjas, not able to down them, but also not able to be brought down by the ones she is fighting. She's at an impasse as Deadzone and the ninjas that aren't going toe to toe with David fight. Now and again as she fights, Deadzone looks over to Razor to see how he's doing. Which seems to be better then she is. At least he's able to actually deal with the enemies rather then just stay at this hovering neutral ground with her own ninjas.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
The Waves of Enemies are of little trouble to David, His Wires slice weapons, destroying them, like a Razor Blade going through butter. And using his sword's blade to clock someone over the head with the flat of the blade. He moves over near Deadzone keeping out of her power kill. But his wires are like a net any one who gets close enough is tangled up thankfully without slicing them apart.

And then As the Numbers of Ninja Fade.

Level Five!

A voice makes David loose all rational thought. One word from one Man.

Instantly Togashi Kaji, is there holding a blade.

And then David BReak, Sheer unadultrated Rage, as he leaves Deadzone and then she can see him sword slashing across throats, across bellies,, a head falls fromt he shoulders, aas he lunges out with his wires.

Instantly Togashi Kaji is suddenly strung between two lamp posts, begging for mercy for his Life. David is in the air, as his sword plunges into his chest, through his heart. an instantly fatal blow, and moments later there is and explosion of gore and blood as David slices through his body reducing it to meat chunks.

Deadzone has posed:
Tatum watches as the boy looses all self control, fighting like a man possessed. She looks from the boy to the control room and back again. As the gore starts to be gruesome, she calls up. "Scooter, I think that's about a wrap."

The goth frowns as she ratchets her batons back to their original size. She doesn't look pleased. "Still haven't given up on that plan of yours for vengence, I see."

David Akenda (207) has posed:
Indeed David has reached his limits. The LEvel of Rage he has. and as things fade away and he realizes what he has gone and done. He shows no remorse. He woulc clearly do it again as he shouts out. "You have no idea what he put me through!"

"I sat on his knee, I called him Uncle, He was my Godfather!"

His rage is absolutely visible, "My Mother had four misscarriages! HE CLAIMED responsibility! He murdered my parents right in front of me!" he yells out, tears running down his cheeks, the sheer level of rage. The level of betrayal.

This is not being shunned for being a mutant. this is being betrayed by someone close to you, David has been hurt on a very deep phsycological level, by someone he trusted that had no love for him. Played his family for fools, and then when the time was right, slaughtered them.

Deadzone has posed:
Tatum gives Scott a brief nod, letting him know that she will handle this. She closes the distance to David and holds out her arms. "May I hug you?" she offers, never touching without permission.

"I didn't realize he was so close to your family. I am truly sorry that anyone would be willing to do this." She doesn't talk about vengence being the wrong path, not so soon. Perhaps, like herself, he will have to go that path and discover just how dark that path is before one sees the light.

"Tell me more? About your parents?"

David Akenda (207) has posed:
David's dam has burst his desire to kill is there. If given the option the chance to kill Togashi Kaji he will. He drops his sword as the emotions the pain, all come out. He just drops to his hands and knees crying, sobbing.

David has been on the run for almost two years. He's never hand a chance to grieve. to mourn. and now it's turned toxic in on himself. Poisoned him with a level of rage few could understand. And shows how close he is to the edge. David is left a sobbing incoheriant mess.

Deadzone has posed:
Kneeling down beside David, Tatum rubs his back in slow circles. She says nothing, just letting David cry. She can't really empathize with this sort of pain. It's not really in the same place as hers was. And so, she stays there, kneeling beside David and rubbing his back, stroking his hair.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
Eventually David will just cry himself into a slumber. The pain all the emotion, combined with the program managed to bring all the emotions and pain to the surface. He's vented some of the pressure. But he will keep it inside, keep building it. In the end, right now, emotionally he is at the most vulnerible. to be healed or manipulated into a path of destruction and murder.
