Here comes the b00m [Boom/c] (Read 135 times)

"Dammit..." a solitary individual would mutter as he slowly weaved through the myriad of human traffic. Constantly moving bodies littered the streets of Magnolia, forcing this lost individual much frustration in trying to find his current location. The boy's sky blue eyes would dart from corner to corner, street to street, catching glimpses of words momentarily before a shoulder or leg would force him to move with the flow of pedestrians. "Damn, I've already forgotten where I was supposed to be..." he would state these words as his eyes latched onto a nearby alley.

Dipping into the spillway from the main street, Sun would reach backwards. The man's fingers would latch onto the a stone staff which resided on his back before dragging it out in front of his body. Looking down to his tool, he would smirk a bit before looking upwards. "Grow, Yeo Ui!" he would exclaim before his eyes shot wide open. His body would jettison from the ground, flying upwards as his staff shot into the sky. It was too fast, he wasn't used to this yet and it showed all over his face. A slight panic erupted from his lips as he soared through the air. Eventually, the pole would cease to grow and Sun would merely sit perched in the middle of the alley, 30 feet off of the ground. Frantically looking from side to side, the young man would catch glimpse of a nearby rooftop. Beginning to swing his body left to right, gravity and momentum would eventually bring his body over the lip of the roof as his staff shrunk down to normal size. Bringing his arm up to wipe a bit of sweat off of his brow, Sun would sigh lightly before staring into the void of people who resided below him.

"Just where the hell am I supposed to be right now?" he would ask himself as a blank stare took over his face.

[DRAKE]

"OUTTA DA WAY, JACKASSES!"

Throughout the busy city streets of Magnolia, people turned their heads as a small commotion began. Women gave screams of alarm and men shouted in anger as they were rudely pushed aside. From a bird's eye view, it looked like a mop of shaggy black hair was slicing through the crowd like a hot knife through butter. Never one for manners or patience, Drake forced his way along whether people abided him or not. His small stature belied a strong physical presence and even full-grown adults were easily shrugged out of the nine year old's path. His eyes shone with determination(and a little annoyance at the busy city streets) that could only be produced from actively pursuing a desired goal. Something so precious that nothing else mattered; nothing could possibly distract from whatever could forge such drive in the kid mage.

...He had to get some scones.

Drake had learned what scones were the other day and was craving them like a fiend on a four-day withdrawal. Their hot, flakey exterior holds delicious fillings of all flavors and colors; from chocolate to strawberry and even butterscotch garlic. He WOULD get his hands on one of these delicious baked treats, even if he had to beat up the entire Magnolian population to get to them. Nothing would distract him from his g--Oh wow, that was a pretty cool pole! Drake's attention was grabbed by a guy being launched into the air by a magically extending pole. His curious eyes followed the man's path all the way to the landing on a roof some thirty feet up. A mage! Well that wasn't TOO uncommon, but that pole was pretty damn awesome. Drake suddenly found himself wondering how it fared in a fight. Feeling his face stretch from his excited grin, Drake gathered magical energy under his feet even as he lowered himself to the ground. People let out panicked shrieks and ran in all directions(they had already been wound up after the pole's sudden display of magic), but Drake let loose his Boom Boost! anyway, detonating the magic he had gather in an explosion that sent him flying up towards the roof that the pole man had landed on. The magic pushed the surrounding people back, falling over into each other and causing more chaos amongst the crowd. Drake himself was already feeling the pain from his own spell, but he was so used to the backfire that he hardly reacted to it at all.

Landing(a bit ungracefully seeing as how he had to wildly flap his arms to keep his balance on the edge) on the covering of the building both of them now occupied, Drake's grin broadened as he pointed at the mage. "U use magic, rite!? How gewd r u in a fite?"

Hearing a small explosion in the area, Sun's attention would fade from pinpointing his location and shift to attempting to find the origin of the sound. While he was not overly paranoid, he was royalty and there was no telling when someone would come after his life for that fact. Without even noticing Boom as he flailed around the roof, Sun would find where the blast had taken place, seeming a myriad of pedestrians getting up from a single location. Then, a voice...

As Boom's voice entered Sun's ears, the prince's eyes would shoot open and he too would nearly fall off of the edge. Taken by surprise, he would jump a bit as his arms flapped through the air in an effort to maintain balance as Boom had. Finally regaining control over his body, the Kou would catch a glimpse of the origin of the voice and stare for a moment with a puzzled expression on his face.

"How old are you kid?" he would inquire as he darted to the boy's side. He would lift up his arms before moving to his back and placing his hands on his shoulder. This was what he did with the majority of the people that he met, he inspected them... Sun would then quickly dart to the front and place his index finger and thumb over Boom's left eye so that he could inspect his vision. "It seems like you have potential.." Sun would state before poking him in the chest lightly to test his balance.

"What are you, nine?" he would inquire before taking a step back. "Youth is easy to mold," Sun would murmur, crouching down to take a better look at the boy. "You want to know how good I am in a fight?" he would inquire, reaching for his staff once again. "I want to know how good you are in a fight... If you have the basics down, maybe I'll take you with me..."

[DRAKE]

Seems he accidentally startled the guy since he started flailing about like he was going to fall. What a loser! Who loses their balance so easily on a roof ledge? Why was he suddenly getting a weird sensation of hypocrisy? Wait, how did he even know that word? Focus, Drake, focus! A broad grin spread across his face as he watched the staff-wielding man, but that grin quickly diminished as he was poked and prodded at like some sort of test subject. His eyebrow twitched in annoyance and he slugged the man right across the cheek as he was placing his thumb across his eye.

"Da fuck yew doin', asshole!?" Drake snarled. He was more embarrassed than angry, but they were all weird feelings in the child's eyes and weird feelings pissed him off as much as just being angry! He began cracking his knuckles when he heard the staff guy's challenge. Well that just gave Drake even more incentive to kick this guy's ass. Feeling himself getting revved up for a scrap, Drake stomped his feet on the ground like a sumo wrestler. Magic gathered under his feet, slowly building a brilliant gold aura. He looked at his new opponent with the excitement of a predator proving dominance. "Not juss n-e ol' kid. Git red-e!" Drake taunted and with that, he was off. Boom Boost! caused the magic gathered around his feet to explode just as he dropped his torso down to learn towards staff guy. The explosion ripped away roof tiling and flesh alike, but Drake ignored the pain to take advantage of the reward; being launched at high speeds towards his opponent. He ducked his head down, ready to take his opponent by surprise with his sudden burst of speed to sink his battering ram of a head into staff guy's stomach.
