Thread: Welcome To The Future, Mr. Relic. [IGW x TheUnknown]

Mary was just as excited as Drake was but for different reasons. This was a new world for her. Day in and day out she had to tend to patients on Ganymede, humans spoiled by riches who have a superiority complex. And now here she was, between crowds of rugged fighters of all cultures and species. Her eyes flashed yellow with excitement. While Drake had given her a budget to work with to buy better equipment she had yet to find out what was needed to be honest. Were they going to be a team on their own? Will they become part of a crew? Will that crew have a ship with a medical bay on board? Who knows!!? But she couldn't wait to discover their future! Sybille was about to say something when she saw Drake wandering off and heading straight for the Anunaqi sitting on a bench. He certainly knows how to pick his targets, she mentioned to Mary. The pink-haired Android was gawking around before she turned to her friend, following her gaze she too saw the Anunaqi. He's not familiar with demon-kind yet, or any other species besides Humans and Android. Xa'rinya was sitting on the bench with her legs and arms crossed. She saw the young human walk over to her like some excited sand wolf pup. Another newbie trying to prove themselves, she thought. While they were interacting and preparing for a sparring session Sybille walked over to an interface device as she began to tap in a few commands. All of the sudden there were a couple of floating bots whirring and beeping around her. Don't just stare at me, broadcast it, she said with a shooing motion as she pointed at the pair in the arena. She opened up a window and typed in 'Drake Relic and Xa'rinya'. Now every deck should have the battle displayed on its public screens with a scrolling text at the bottom of it. It won't be long before the curious start crowding in. It's not every day where a reputable assassin of Old Earth and a Black Demon face off. The 6' ft Xa'rinya followed Drake to the center of the area after being convinced. She had an athletic body build forged from centuries of combat and hunting. Her armor was actually quite...primitive? Considering that most people here are in the space-age phase of their civilizations. She wore a pants made from what looks like black scales of some animal with sandals. Her abdomen were protected by some type of chitin plating with bits of fur poking from behind while her bosom was confined within grey cloth. And her sword arm had that gladiator styled armguard made from similar scales as her pants but the shoulder had chitin plating. We no hold back, she said in an accent that reminded humans of a mix between Russian and Middle-Eastern, Match over when we surrender or can no longer fight. No killing. Her fangs would be clear to see whenever she spoke. She tried not to sigh in boredom when she saw Drake getting ready but then something changed. The arena was too bright for her to properly see the determined look in his eyes but she could tell by the subtle movements and the calmness of his breathing...He was no rookie... As the timer counted down she decided to remove the armguard and the chitin plating around her abdomen to even out the odds between them. She kicked the armors aside just as the buzzer sounded. The speed at which he rushed her surprised her for a human. She managed to give out some blows herself but in the end he was the one that brought her down which doesn't happen very often. She gasped as the air was knocked out of her when he slammed her down the floor and then brought down his fist against her face. The human was smart to walk away after that moment. She slowly got up and wiped the purple blood from her lips. If it weren't for her poor eyesight she would've tackled him already and pushed him to the limits...but she didn't want to embarrass herself by missing him... She took her position back, focusing on her hearing and sense of smell more than her eyes. And it was something that probably showed with Drake with the way she didn't look directly at him. You have done this before, she said to him, Good to know that mamxc like you can still fight without fancy toys.
