Phoenixian Wraith

Confirming match with Keizah. Power will be in the upcoming Tournament. Kinda said I would, I think.

Lava and Power are open for fights. Be warned - I'm absolutely broke, so I can't contribute. Then again, not much to lose.

Well if it means more possible representation from Robo-Riders, yeah I'll do it. And hey, for weapons Ion could use dish-shaped blasters.

Well, I could re-reforge Power into Stone Element if you want. Doesn't matter to me, just gotta alter my strategies with him a tad to compensate.

Confirming match with Vox, Lava vs Kopaka in the City-Realm, he'll put how many Widgets he's sponsoring while I am putting up a CrossRoads.EXE (which equals 3,500 Widgets - we've confirmed he's gonna sell).

Yes, a comedy would be epic. Question is, does only the author throw in stories or can anyone? Also, I think I'll just wipe my money. ****^ with it, I'll make a comeback somehow! 2 +1 Agility and 2 +1 Mind trainers for Lava. 3,000 x 4 = 12,000 ^What, censor was gonna blur it out anyways.

Good match Vox, though the odds were certainly stacked in you favour. Lava and Power open for battle.

Just rereading through your 'Void Letters' (cos I remembered this particular excerpt) and I gotta say... this woulda been funny as all heck if Phaenyx was in the shot.

Confirming match with Vox, Power vs Kopaka in the Charred Forest for 3000 W each. I have a feeling this won't go my way, due to the insane difference in strength between Power and Kopaka, but I'm still hoping it will.

I was gonna wait for a few more chapters, but I want to become the best author I can. So, without further ado... Bioni-Lords Origins: Phaenyx. Link Bioni-Lords Origins: Review. Link Chapters: Six Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. Enjoy.

Hey readers, Chapter Six is out and we get a little taste of history. Sorry it's been this long, kinda got wrapped up in Technic Coliseum by Exo/Pahrak. Well, that and the little author in my head is gettin worn out. Anyways, next up will be a good old fashioned duel. Not to the death, let's face it we know who'd win. And there will be a little twist. Exo, I will neither deny nor confirm... just yet. But we will see 'Kage' (just the codename, people, not the actual name - gotta call em somethin' right?) pop into the story soon.

Chapter Six: A Little History. “So, Amohn,” Dreykin started, pausing in his choice of whether to get some pork or chicken, “What did you mean by ‘bloodlines’? I mean, I know that’s how to trace family, but you made it sound…” “Royal?” Amohn guessed, both choosing their food and walking to the table at which Phaenyx and Emare currently sat. At Dreykin’s nod, she explained, “Well, I don’t entirely remember the whole story; you’d have to ask the Loremaster -” “The what-now?” interrupted Phaenyx, his forkful of steak hanging halfway between his mouth and the plate piled almost five inches high, looking puzzled at Amohn. Emare took this moment to quickly steal his cheese-drizzled eggs, eat them and pretend nothing happened. "Loremaster, Phaenyx, the Loremaster. Basically, an elderly person who’s main duty is to tell the young their ancestral legacy,” Amohn told him, fighting to hide a smirk as Phaenyx nodded, turned back to his plate, noticed the eggs missing and started looking around with a frown for the perpetrator. “Anyways, the story goes that a long, long time ago a man had four children; three boys and a girl. The first saw the fields around the house and, as they were hungry, proceeded to till and farm them. The second, born a few years after, saw that the family was living in poor conditions and began managing the coin. Their names were Qalin, who eventually started the Three Farm Family, and Hufano, who founded the Kinsui family.” “The ‘Three Farm Family’?” Dreykin asked. “Yeah, the Shiroame, Kokudo and Haiirohi. All three were started within a few years of each other and all have some of Qalin’s blood in them.” “Odd names,” Phaenyx commented before taking going back to nibbling the bone that remained of one of three steaks. Amohn opened her mouth to reply before blinking in confusion. Didn’t he have more food than that? She asked herself, glancing between the buffet table and the scrap littered plate in front of Phaenyx. Dreykin noticed this and, placing a hand over his eyes in exasperation, put the girl at ease. “Don’t worry about it, Amohn. Phaenyx simply enjoys food… to the point of finishing it that fast sometimes.” Amohn blinked twice before following Dreykin’s advice. Clearing her throat, she answered the eldest at the table, “Well, they’re words from the Ancient Languages. Just like Ahkotsku.” Phaenyx raised an eyebrow, keeping an eye on Emare as she ran back to the buffet to get dessert, as he asked, “Really? Huh… go figure. So, what do they all mean?” “I think I can answer that better than my daughter.” The group turned their heads to the voice and saw a woman around Ielarae’s age with braided white hair that fell to her neck and wrapped into a ponytail, hazel eyes and a dark red dress that was similar to Amohn’s in style. “Hey, Mom, this is Dreykin and Phaenyx -” “Ahkotsku,” The woman finished, tousling Amohn’s hair affectionately before continuing, “My name is Me’vahre Shiroame.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Dreykin and Phaenyx said in perfect unison, both giving each other deadpan looks after while Me’vahre chuckled at the sight. “That reminds me so much of the days when Ielarae and myself where out on our quest,” she said, eyes misting over slightly, “We’d rock up to a Battlefield, announce ourselves and we’d both shout that we wanted to be first at the exact same time for about a half hour… after a while the Element-Lords started having Apprentices on standby in case we showed up.” Phaenyx chuckled at the imagery while Dreykin settled for a small smile before asking, “So, going back to what we were talking about…” “Ah, yes,” Me’vahre quickly pulled out of her memories and regarded the four in front of her, Emare having returned with a head-sized mound of strawberry ice cream, before continuing, “Well, Ahkotsku is actually a more, well, Shadian use of the name Ankoku, meaning Darkness. Shiroame, Kokudo and Haiirohi mean Whiterain, Blacksoil and Greyfire, and Kinsui means Goldwater. “However, there are other families that are a part of Qalin’s bloodline. The Three Families are just more directly descendant. In any case, my daughter has yet to finish her brief version of the story.” Amohn jumped a little when she realized it, and sent Phaenyx a reproachful glance that caused him to look deadpanned back. With a short sigh, she went on as though there wasn’t an interruption, “After some time passed, the Man and his two sons became rather wealthy and managed to hire some of the local people to help with farming. Qalin would always be out in the field first and last to leave, while Hufano busied himself with monitoring the coin.” “However, as will always be,” interjected Me’vahre, “such riches brought unwelcome attention to the House. After a particularly brutal threat, the Man bore two more children – twins, a boy and a girl. As time continued, these two trained from the moment they were strong enough, until they become accomplished swordsmen.” “These two were named Kosei and Ushinawa much later, for their true names have been lost to time,” a new, male voice interrupted. The group looked at the latest member, seeing a lithe man with grey hair, a wrinkled brow and focused, yet weary blue eyes. And by his side, with a smug look on his face, was Tiotae. “These are the children, Father,” he began, “These are the two that hit me, and their servant friend.” Me’vahre raised an eyebrow at this and, placing her elbow to the table and her chin to her hand, proceeded to shut the boy up. “My, my, it’s been a while, Tiotae. Stopped wetting the bed yet? Or haven’t you controlled that from when I visited last year?” As Phaenyx, Amohn and Emare burst out laughing and Dreykin chuckled, Tiotae turned bright red before turning to his father, only for him to hold a hand up to prevent the whining. “Still sharp-tongued as ever, Me’vahre,” he stated before turning to the other children, “I am, as you can guess, Tiotae’s father. My name is Caeril Kinsui and I would like to know why my son came screaming to me in the middle of a chat about being hit. Before that, who am I talking to?” “Amohn Shiroame,” she chuckled, wiping tears off her cheeks. “Phaenyx -” he began, trying desperately to not choke on laughter. “And Dreykin Ahkotsku, sir,” the other finished. “Tee-Tee hit a tree!” Emare jumped in, a wide grin on her face. “Emare,” Caeril said as he looked at his daughter, “please do not get involved.” Emare looked at her father and, with a pout, sat back in her chair and played with her ice cream. Caeril gave her head a rub, smiling softly before turning to the two and quirking an eyebrow. “Well?” Phaenyx sighed, sobered and took the hint. “We were talking with Amohn when this bakayarō,” he stuck his thumb at Tiotae, “walked in and told Amohn to get him a drink. After some… small talk, he tried to make himself out to be better.” “So Niisan and I decked him for being pompous,” Dreykin finished quite calmly. Caeril massaged the bridge of his nose, sighed and offhandedly asked, “Tiotae, what have I said about acting that way?” “But, Father, as Kinsui I am better than them,” the boy objected before being silenced by a look from his father. “Actually,” Me’vahre interjected, “and I don’t want this getting into your heads, you two,” glancing at the Ahkotsku boys, who nodded, “as Ahkotsku’s, they are better than you, kiddo.” The three fell into silence at this, one of them uncharacteristically so. It didn’t last long. “Well then,” Tiotae said, his chest heaving dramatically (and rather comically), “I will change that.” Turning to Phaenyx, he grabbed a napkin off the table and whipped it against the others face. “I, Tiotae Kinsui, challenge you to a duel. The loser admits the victor is better.” As everyone else at the table stared at Tiotae in surprise, Phaenyx looked at him blankly. This feeling, this… excitement in my chest… what is it? he asked himself. In the middle of the forest, the cloaked figure pauses mid-stride as something catches their attention. Turning back the way they came and regarding it momentarily, a black flame erupts around them, obscuring everything. A trail of flame suddenly arcs out of the small inferno and into the night sky.

Good match, Keizah. Cheers for the gear, Exo. AWRIGHT! Let's get a Showdown happening! Canis and I are havin' a Two on Two, between Lava and Power vs Millennium and Virus, Seismic Showdown and for 2,000 W each. Let's rock'n'roll! I will honestly be surprised if this strategy doesn't make this interesting... Sorry for the extra work, Exo!

I'll keep that in mind, Vox - got a challenge being settled between myself and Canis pretty soon, so I wanna come up with a respectable strategy.

Hey, Exo, after you're done judging Keizah and my battle, and Lava's back in the garage, could I please buy a Heat Vision Skakdi Spine for Lava and a CreateRoads.EXE for Power. 25,000 W - 15,000 W =10,000 W Man, I needa start challenging and winning if I want an OS upgrade.

Onua39, if you read back over the last 22 pages, you'll get how the battle system works - number one rule is don't peek and edit. Keizah and I have agreed to a battle, Power vs Gali in Tanker Station 22 for 1,000 W each. Lava available for battle.

Lava and Power up for challenges. Oh, and Exo, you misspelled 'Wraith' on the Players list

Agh, dammet. Good match Pulsate.

Sounds reasonable. Sheesh, Archangels forbid if you decide on triple sponsorship ahahaha.

Strategy against Surge. Boy, I hope this works as well as it sounds...

Fair enough. I'm guessing tournament starts up tomorrow?

Onua vs. Pohatu in Naho Bay. Make it happen. Oh god the hilarity of that xD I'd put 50 Widgets down saying that at least one of you would fall through the lilypad.

Happy Easter. Also, Code Scramble item for RoboRiders, lowers Mind stat. Why? Wynaut *troll face*

Question. Will the Tournament battles be fought in the Coliseum or in a randomly-chosen-by-you Arena?

Good duel, Zakaro. Can't wait for the next tournament - who knows, I could outlast the first round hehe!
