It had been weeks since Savina successfully liberated herself from the ISLET bunker that was her horrific and lonesome jail- but she had still failed to march herself to any place with a population capable of interaction… or any population at all, for that matter. She had emerged into the great desert and set out with a minimum of supplies; there was enough food to keep her brain nourished for perhaps a month and a makeshift cloak to protect her body from the sun’s sweltering heat, but nothing more. She was grateful that her body was functionally immune to heat fatigue, though the cloak still served to keep the metals comprising her joints from expanding so much that movement would have become bothersome. Her food supplies, however, had run dry a few days before- leaving her on the desert’s edge with a hungry sluggishness beginning to slowly settle over her thought processes. She managed to force herself over the desert border, but lacked enough navigational data to realize that she was not at all in friendly territory. Rather, Savina was then in the grip Southern Demonlands. Without realizing her location, the android had little hesitation in sending herself toward the nearest concentration of energy that her sensors could locate-- a village, likely. She could sense the rhythmic motions of life energy going about what she assumed were daily processes and felt relief trickle down her nervous system. A village meant company- friends- food. That last one was particularly important. It took the girl a day longer to finally reach the source of those energy signatures, and it was indeed a village. To her dismay, however, the first glimpse of her cloaked form brought worried whispers to the village’s denizens; whispers became a full-blown hysteria, resulting in every living thing abandoning whatever they were doing to retreat to the safety of their homes. Savina frowned and pushed on anyways-- a xenophobic village was still better than the other lifeforms she had dealt with since her awakening, as their fear at least meant that they were capable of reasoning… probably. “ Hello!” she called out upon entering the village, working her way slowly toward its center while attempting to discern the nature of its residents. It was a strange amalgamation of a population- some humans, some… human-esque creatures, but all were terrified of her presence. She could not fathom what she could have done to frighten them so. “ I’m just passing through, don’t you guys worry! I don’t want to alarm you, I just want some food and then I’ll be on my way!” Savina loudly spoke again, hoping that a promise of her departure would tempt at least someone into coming out. When nobody did, she invited herself to plop unceremoniously down at the village’s center. She would not force any of these people to give her food, but she reasoned that they would have to leave their homes eventually- so someone would have to come talk to her. Nearly a whole hour passed before the first contact began, though it was… woefully brief. A single door cracked open nearby and the middle-aged denizen within tossed a small sack of sad looking apples toward Savina. She plucked the parcel off the ground and disregarded their near-rotten state to scarf two of them down. A mechanical stomach fortunately meant that she had little to worry about in the way of getting sick- the nutrients for her nervous system were all that she cared about. “ There, you’ve got your food-- now get lost before the Lord notices you! He doesn’t like it when visitors come unannounced, and we ain’t going to get punished ‘cause you’re daft! So, leave!” the man demanded before slamming his door shut again. Savina could sense that he remained behind the door, probably listening for her response, though she chomped down the third and final apple before even beginning to register what he had said. “ Hey, hey-- a Lord? That’s pretty neat, I’ve never met royalty before! Can someone maybe point me in his direction? He sounds strong, I wanna meet him!” the android replied loudly. By meet, of course, she meant that she wanted to fight him. The only things she had fought so far were basically mindless beasts, albeit rather potent ones. They had been fun to battle against at first, but when she realized how easily they could be outmaneuvered, the games grew boring. A Lord, though-- they had to be smart, and if they scared these villagers so badly, they were probably really strong too. It was an exciting prospect! You might imagine Savina’s dismay when the villagers continued their silent treatment thereafter. They very much wanted her to leave, it seemed. wc: 805 effective wc: 800 Atalan

Atalan sat in his study, taking a light lunch while he pondered the curvature of a particularly oddly shaped rune. The baron was dressed in a snug black trousers topped by a white silk shirt and viridian waistcoat. The points of his ears peaked through the wavy unkept looking black hair while his golden eyes were fixed on his grimoire that lay before him on his desk. He paused his contemplation and dipped his spoon into the tomato bisque; taking a spoonful and carefully guiding it to his mouth before turning back to his book. The soup was hardly tasted in his concentration but he enjoyed feeling its warmth creep down his throat. A hesitant sounding but clearly audible knocking rapped upon his study door. Atalan's brows furrowed, his servants knew better than to disturb him during his study time. Especially if he was eating and studying. He snapped the grimoire shut and stalked angrily to the door - This had better be something important, or the gods will weep when I am done with them. He yanked the door open, his eyes beginning to glow in his irritation, to reveal his seneschal Grazzel. His voice deepened as he growlingly asked "What in the 9 hells do you want Grazzel. For your sake I hope you have a good reason for disturbing me."The seneschal knelt before him, "My lord Baron, we have received a communication from Gazulpa; a stranger has invaded their town and is demanding food of them."
Atalan's eyes narrowed as he waved the seneschal to stand, "Very good. You were right to bring this to my attention, Grazzel. I will grant you a small reward later. First, I must go and deal with this interloper."
Grazzel stood then bowed his head and pressed his fist to his forehead as his lord passed. Atalan grabbed a light cloak with a hood to keep the worst of the sand and dirt off and to shade himself from the sun's harsh rays. As he moved toward the door, he grabbed his travelling pack just in case. He was soon running out the front door legs churning as he made his way to the village of Gazulpa. A plume of dust trailed behind him as he disappeared from the view of his home. A short time later, the village came into view. Atalan slowed down to catch his breath. He paused long enough to get a drink of water before taking a deep breath and striding confidently down the main street of the village. It didn't take him long to reach the village center and get his first sight of the interloper. She looked to be formed of metal of some sort. She was actually nude except for the ragged bit of cloth she had pressed into service as a cloak. He kept a poker face... but it was definitely not what he had expected to see after the urgent summons he had received. Although... he stretched the lightest brush of his senses over her... She is strong. Stronger than I am maybe. No matter, this affront must be addressed. He actually felt a little uneasy about the foolish interloper... but he was pretty sure he could wreck her day if it came down to it. He might be carrying a few new bruises though. He stepped closer to her and called out, "Trespasser, I am Baron Atalan. This village is under my protection, and you have foolishly wandered into it and harassed its citizens. Now you will leave immediately. Or you will be forced to leave. Your choice." He raised a fist and coated it in the red glow of his power, "If you take to long to decide... I will decide for you."Initiative y1Mox|ng1-100

The villagers’ silence eventually lead way to a pout forming on Savina’s features. She didn’t actually want to offend the denizens here by staying when she wasn’t welcome, but… they were the first people she had encountered since emerging from the ISLET bunker, so she was quite reluctant to again wander off into the lonesome wilderness. If only she had been successful in bringing Blinky along with her, at least then she’d have someone to talk to other than herself. Thinking of that little red light forced a sigh to drag out of the android’s lips. Thankfully, her bad luck was just about to expire. Savina snapped her head up to look at the man who addressed her after all that time. He certainly looked less… grungy than the rest of the village’s inhabitants- which made sense, what with him introducing himself as the Baron and all that. To her further surprise, the man also brandished the ability to manipulate energy in a similar way to herself! She rose to her feet and grinned at that Baron. “ Atalan? That’s a fun sounding name! You’re the first Royalty I’ve ever met, y’know? It’s a pleasure- my name’s Savina!” the girl grinned as she introduced herself with her hands planted proudly on her hips. Though her body was primarily comprised of metal, the majority of the girl’s head at least appeared to be fleshly. Not that it was anything more than a synthetic recreation of skin, eyes, and hair-- but it at least looked fairly real. “ Everyone here seems to…” she paused to consider her phrasing. The villagers were certainly scared, but she couldn’t say that they seemed more scared of the Baron than herself. So… “ ... hold you in a pretty high regard, right? Let’s set the record straight, though-- I wasn’t harassing anyone! I just asked for some food and wanted a little bit of company while I ate, I don’t think that’s unreasonable. Food is best enjoyed with others!” Despite her friendly tone, the android began to shift her body slowly apart, adopting a combat-ready stance. Her hands were the last thing to move, but they too rose to form a barrier between Atalan and herself- one closed to a tight fist while the other remained open. “ But… since the others think you’re pretty strong, I wanna find out for myself!” wc: 411 etwc: 1211 Initiative: hkCUKfr41d100BATTLE TRACKER DEFENSE PHASE

Atalan listened to the woman's defiance, and her almost insinuation that they feared him more than respected him. That didn't bother him; it was true and the way it should be after all. A slow grin cracked Atalan's angular face at the woman's, Savina, she calls herself. remark about testing her strength against his. "Very well, Savina. Quaint name yourself; I plan to ask you more about it after I knock you into the dirt."Atalan snapped his fingers and called out, "Come, Beauregard!" A cloud of green smoke exploded into being accompanied by a thunder crack, then condensed into a green skinned bipedal demon wearing a black tuxedo. It had a rather tubby body with spindly limbs; its voice was deep and grinding as it spoke, "What is thy bidding, my lord?"
Atalan took his cloak off and tossed his pack to his summoned servant, "Take care of these and stand by until I need you." The servant grabbed the items and scuttled to a nearby alleyway where he stowed them safely out of site. Free of his burdens, the Baron turned his full attention back to Savina. He started pacing slowly around her, his stance casual but his eyes never left her. He rolled his shoulders and slowly leaned his head from side to side, popping his neck and releasing some tension. Reaching deep, he summoned up his power and felt it start to course through his body in waves almost like the heartbeat of the universe. He began gathering power for a strike in his fist and but held it ready, wanting to see his opponent in action first. As he kept walking he simply said, "Ladies first. Let's see what you've got." He resisted the temptation to tense his muscles but remained ready to dodge from her attack....BATTLE INFO - Atalan DEFENSE PHASE.

Beauregard…? The uttered summons left Savina’s head cocked slightly to the side. Her lips parted to form the obvious question, only to be quickly silenced by a thunderclap and the appearance of a strange looking creature. Admittedly, this “Beauregard” was not the strangest thing that Savina had seen-- in fact, with her experiences inside the ISLET bunker, Beauregard was closer to ‘normal’ for the android’s experiences than the Baron or any of his subjects. Unlike the creatures she dispatched in the bunker, however, Beauregard was apparently intelligent and obedient. Curious, indeed! “ Ladies… first? That very polite of you, but I have to question the wisdom of letting someone you perceive as an invader ‘go first’. It probably means… that you’re super confident! And if you’re that confident, then you’re definitely super strong-- Oh-hoh, I’m so excited now. Don’t mind if I do!” Savina replied happily. She launched herself forward with force enough to soar over the ground, closing the distance between Atalan and herself quite quickly. The android’s forearms audibly clicked as a compartment within them slid open and allowed a long, curved, blade to spring forth from each arm. Savina hadn’t been planning on going this far against the Baron, but his assumed strength excited her too much to hold back. As their positions converged, Savina’s core began producing enough energy to cause visible sparks of electricity to leap from her blades to her arms and back again; the electricity took on a rich red hue as it looped back and forth between those two metal appendages. Upon reaching striking distance, Savina flickered out of immediate sight. With her excess energy, her body moved behind Atalan with superhuman speed, bringing her into a position wherein she could easily slash at the Baron’s back with both of her blades- intending to intersect them in the shape of a large X across his back. Her assault continued when she gathered a small mass of ki within her palm and shoved it into the demon’s back, hoping to blast him away from her position before he had a chance to turn and retaliate. wc: 360 ewtc: 1571 BATTLE TRACKER

Atalan tensed as the woman leaped into the air and readied himself to dodge once he could make out the nature of her attack. This turned out to be a mistake in hindsight; long blades shot out of her forearms and began sparking with red energy. He started to move... much to late. She blinked and disappeared and he heard Beauregard's slapping feet and strangled cry as he interposed himself between his master and the blades. He called up a kinetic barrier around himself as his servants hot blood splashed against him. The salty spray was soon followed by the blades and their decreased momentum carving through his barrier and into his back. The force started him stumbling forward but he soon felt himself flying as a small explosion hit him in the back. He flew a ways but managed to recover in the air and roll as he came down into the street. His breath left him in a hard exhalation and his ribs creaked... but held. He popped up to his feet breathing hard... What in all the hells? How is she so strong? He felt his power surge within him to meet this challenge and he spit a wad of blood from his mouth.
"Well struck, warrior. It has been some time since I have been challenged. Let's see how you do on defense." It was probably best to at least appear magnanimous with such a powerful person. Maybe they could be useful to each other; powerful allies were always welcome after all. First though... he was going to take a big swing and see what happened. Maybe he would get lucky... His hands both came up and started tracing the same set of runes independently, leaving blue runes hanging in the air as he quickly sketched them out. He finished after a moment and they both swirled together and opened a wavering blue portal that started shooting spikes of ice towards his opponent... the spikes would surely pierce her armor and maybe even freeze and hinder her...

Savina’s lips tugged down into a frown when she realized that her initial attack had been intercepted by the Baron’s attendant. That wasn’t fair- she had entered the battle under the assumption that it would be one on one. Besides, why had the man jumped in the way of her attack if he knew it would damage him so severely? It was either foolishness or loyalty, but neither seemed to be worth it from Savina’s standpoint, especially if the Baron was as strong as he boasted. She supposed that she could not be too terribly upset over this intervention- using his servant as a pawn in their battle was undoubtedly a smart thing to do, and the android had specifically wanted to engage in this battle because Atalan was probably smarter than the opponents she had fought so far. Still, it seemed kind of callous for him to not even acknowledge the servant’s injuries in his defense. Was it simply because such things were expected? The outside world was increasingly seeming to be more barbaric than the chimeric hell that she had endured within the ISLET bunker. Her musings on the scenario were distracting enough that she nearly did not see Atalan preparing his own counterattack. She had expected something ki-related from a man of his stature, or perhaps even some exceptional agility- but the attack he launched was a baffling one entirely. Rather than launching a ki-based attack of his own direct making, the Baron tore open a rift in space and commanded a barrage of ice spears to shoot into the ‘real world’ and toward Savina. Her computerized parts quickly calculated their trajectory and speed, relaying the information to her brain as the appropriate conclusions were reached; sure enough, even if she had moved the moment that the portal had opened, her body’s base attributes did not afford her the speed necessary to avoid their onslaught. Fortunately, Savina’s creator had foreseen a similar scenario taking place in his simulations and had given her a tool to utilize against precisely this manner of attack- but only effectively once per fight, given the amount of energy it consumed and the cool-down time of the mechanism. She waited to activate that defensive mechanism until the last possible second; the android’s hand shot out and seized Beauregard’s severely damaged body before engaging the internal device. For the small fraction of a second, Savina’s body shimmered- then, she was simply gone. The device that she had activated had successfully folded space together and forced her body to pass through the distortion that happened as a result of spacetime rubbing against itself. Her presence was immediately detectable again afterward, safely off to the side. Within that instant, she had teleported- but the ordeal was clearly taxing on her body, as waves of heat rolled off of her silhouette with enough intensity to distort the air around her. “ That’s a pretty crazy attack you just did! If it weren’t for my foldspace generator, I would’ve got messed up pretty bad there! You should probably be careful though- you almost finished off your friend here!” to punctuate her point, Savina gently placed Beauregard’s profusely bleeding body on the ground next to her. She gave him an appreciative little pat on the head before returning her attention to Atalan. The android dashed forward at extreme speeds, frame one again wreathed in those sanguine-hued electrical veins. Upon reaching Atalan’s location, both of her arms snapped outward again- this time intending to scissor the Baron between each of her blades at his torso. She carefully calculated her force so as to not risk actually cutting the man in half, but if he was hit, he would most certainly feel it. It’d probably even leave a pretty nasty set of horizontal scars across his torso! wc: 646 ewtc: 2217 BATTLE TRACKER

Atalan's face tightened into a grim smile; he had the intruder dead to rights. Both streams of ice spears were about to strike home... until they didn't. He sensed a major power surge... and then the woman flickered and disappeared from danger; his head swiveled this way and that trying to locate her. A moment later she reappeared near Beauregard, her power signature popping back into existence. She lowered his servant to the ground, like he was seriously hurt or something. Whatever, he's just going to eat that up and want it all the time now... sigh. She straightened back up and mentioned her "foldspace generator" and actually seemed to admonish him about his own servant. As if that were any of her business.
He snapped his fingers and the green skinned demon vaporized in a massive puff of sulfurous smoke. "Beauregard should not overly concern you, warrior. He will be fine after he rests in his home dimension for a few hours. What in the hells is a foldsp..." His eyes widened as she started charging him once again and popped those damnable blades out once again. Oh crap... I don't think I'm going to be able to...He started to call up his defenses, much to late. Blood splashed out from his torso as he twisted and fell to one knee, holding the center of his cut together. The world wavered in and out of focus for a few moments, as he tried desperately to hang onto the fingertip grip he had on consciousness. He spit out a wad of blood and pushed himself up to a standing position on shaking legs. He slowly turned around and faced his opponent and a little bitterly said, "I guess I must give way to you; you have bettered me. I would ask you to leave these people in peace. If you truly are just looking for food..." He [paused and looked at her again, "and perhaps some clothing, maybe we should retire to my manor. It always pays to have associations with people of power. We can speak of our goals and who knows? Perhaps we can help each other some time." He took the chance to slowly make his way to his cloak and pack; he pulled out some bandages and rapidly wrapped his chest to slow the bleeding. He threw his cloak on and stood with his pack, starting to feel a little steadier. He took a moment to remember the woman's name, and called out, "What do you say, Savina? My cook is very talented." He waited tensely, hoping that the offer of food and potential partnership would pacify her. He might even be willing to actually work with her if their goals aligned.BATTLE INFO - Atalan

Once again the android girl appeared dismayed by how things had played out. She did certainly enjoy winning, but this was over a bit too fast- she hadn’t given her opponent a chance to really demonstrate the extent of his intellect. Of course he wouldn’t have measured up physically to the chimeric saiyans that she had been training against for so long- he was a living being that had like… a life and hobbies and whatnot; Atalan, for better or worse, was not a creature designed specifically for the purposes of waging war. Fortunately, he was sensible enough to throw in the towel when he was outmatched, meaning that after a bit of healing, Savina would likely be able to challenge him again. Next time, she decided, she would hold back on the force of her blows and ensure that they had ample time to enjoy themselves; after all, it was not at all her intention to inflict mortal injury on the Baron. “ Sorry for ending it so fast-- the things I’m used to fighting usually don’t stop until they’re dead, so… not really used to being able to take the time to just enjoy myself! Still, I had fun, and I hope I didn’t hurt you too badly! I’d like to fight again sometime soon, maybe with a bit more moderation once you’re healed,” she voiced her thoughts and watched him dress his own wounds. That, in particular was impressive; to be in a position of power wherein one could command others to intercept attacks on their behalf and still had the skills necessary to dress their own wounds while severely injured… That took a certain kind of mental wherewithal that Savina found promising. She approached Atalan and extended both arms, curving them as if to support an entity that did not exist. “ I don’t really need much food anymore, I-- er, I found some apples that took care of it for me. Because of how I’m made, I don’t really require much for nutrition, just enough to keep my brain and nerves healthy. But, I’ll carry you back to your house if you’d like! I’ll even stick around long enough to be sure that you’re gunna heal without any major complications. I wanted to fight you, not kill you, y’know?” Savina grinned as she spoke. wc: 400 etwc: 2617 Atalan

Atalan eyed the woman and her arms that were outstretched. His wounds really was quite painful... but could he really let this woman carry him? What if the servants saw, what would they say? It would take him days to put them back in line. He sighed and groaned a bit as the pack straps rubbed against his wounds. If he wasn't injured so badly he wouldn't have even considered such an indignity. But since she had caused the wounds, he supposed it was fine that this android would be the one to carry him back. Besides, it would give him a chance to feel her out on her plans while she was in the area. She seemed to like fighting an awful lot, he could use someone on his side that was a bruiser like she obviously was. She hit like a charging rhino and those blades could be turned to much more deadly effect; of that he had no doubts at all. And since she didn't need to eat, this was the perfect excuse to get her there.
He sighed and said, "Very well, Savina, was it? I will allow it but only to the edge of my manor's lands. My servants mustn't see me like that. And... thank you for helping me back. I also meant you no serious injury, I was led to believe you were bothering my people." Not completely true... but he had been trying to drive her off. And it wasn't like he would have lost sleep if she HAD been injured, but it was probably not politic to say so. "Shall we go then? Remember, put me down when I say."
