Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout
Azure answers Pyrus, "It is an ice cube. Ice is water so cold it solidifies. My powers are about cold."
After the trio has what they want, Azure heads over to Jimmy and gives him the shiv.
Jimmy says, "I'm sure you're out of practice in using your powers, so you should probably talk to Caze over there and learn the basics of combat."
When the trio make it to Caze, he says, "Jimmy sent you, eh? Well a lot of folks here are out of practice when it comes to combat. That won't impress anyone in Arachnos, and you better impress them if you plan to stick around for long. Sure, they think you're hot stuff now. That won't last if you can't show them some mad skills."
He quickly goes over some fighting tips (In game, he goes over your HP bar and powers bar) before sending the trio over to Blake. Blake shows the group how to use enhancements. Then sends them over to Morben, an arachnos agent who the trio get to through a fissure in the ground that leads to sewer grates where Morben stands waiting and shows the trio how to combine enhancements. He then tells them to go out to meet Tamaki in the Yard.
Tamaki says, "Lord Recluse, the most glorious leader of Arachnos, thinks that you may be a predestined soul. His Fortunata, Kalinda, has seen that you may well be one of those who can lead Arachnos to eventual victory over the heroes of Paragon City. We'll see about that. From what I hear, you still have a lot to learn, and even Kalinda isn't sure exactly who her prophecy pertains to. She just knows they're here in the Zig. I've been instructed to issue you a test of your combat abilities. If you pass, then you will be escorted to Mercy Island. Then Kalinda can test you for herself. I must see your combat prowess for myself. I take it Caze explained how to use your powers, so let us put that knowledge to practical use. Go east from here, out into the Yard. Once there, defeat any two people. Prisoners, guards, I do not care. When you have defeated two, return to me."
Azure shrugs. "Fine. Not gonna complain when I'm being broke out of prison and taken far away from here. C'mon, guys."
She heads over to the yard where there are dozens of prisoners and guards. It is chaos. "He said defeat. That means the first one to attack us gets beaten up. Remember; subdue. Do not kill."
